Last week we spoke of Christ as the Good Shepherd. Remain in Me He is The Good Shepherd who leads us Home! Today we hear in Saint John’s Gospel “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower” JOHN 15:1. He goes on to say “Remain in Me and I remain in you.” JOHN 1:4. “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." JOHN 1: 7-8 It is by the fruits of our prayers and our works and labors that we as a community become more and more the disciples of Jesus Christ. We begin to integrate more and more the story of Jesus Christ by living as His disciples in the world. Can This Be My Story? The gospels of the Easter season including those as the gospel of the “road to Emmaus” and “the appearances of the Risen Christ” and “of the Good Shepherd” and today “of the vine grower” really speak about Christ’s story that can Fifth Sunday of Easter become our story! This story highlights the Eucharist! As the Easter Season unfolds, we enter into a greater understanding of what the Eucharist means to each and every one of us, at Mass and how our lives are changed by this very celebration. Our openness leads us to our participation in the celebration, and ultimately how we integrate this gift into our own lives and therefore become the Eucharist for one another. Searching One’s Faith When I was a teenager, I went through a period where I questioned: “How do I know that I really believe?” Did you ever wonder about the doctrines of our Catholic faith? Brothers and sisters the bottom line is: We can go so far in studying theology. We, like St. Anselm, may have our faith-seeking understanding. However, we finally get to a point where we are able to say: We know we believe by how we live. Let us live as disciples of Jesus Christ, taking the story of Christ and making it part of our family story…our parish story etc. Then we will know we believe by the fruits that come for the Gift of the Holy Spirit! Congratulations! Again, congratulations to all our First Communicants who received Jesus for the first time on May 2 and those who will receive on May 16! We are praying for you and also for our Confirmandi who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation next Saturday, May 9. New Session of our Lazarus Bereavement Group We have delayed the start date of our Bereavement Group till Tuesday, May 5 at 10 a.m. That date will allow us to include other members who will benefit from this group.

May 3, 2015 Page 6 www.saintrosalie.com St. Rosalie’s Bulletin Statement from Cardinal Dolan On Behalf Of The New York State Catholic Conference Governor Cuomo and the leadership of the New York State Senate and Assembly have announced a three-way agreement on a state budget, which again does not include the Education Tax Credit, a critically needed piece of legislation for the parents and students of Catholic and other nonpublic education in the state. Following is a statement of Timothy Cardinal Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the New York State Catholic Conference: “Last week, I made the comment that there would be plenty of blame to go around if the Education Tax Credit didn’t get done in the state budget. And now, sadly, this has played out yet again. My brother bishops and I are sorely disappointed in all of our political leaders in Albany, who again assured us of their strong personal support, but again could not deliver for the children of our state. Yet we have no alternative but to turn to them again and implore them to please pass this legislation once and for all before the close of the legislative session. “The Education Tax Credit encourages increased charitable giving to public schools and to foundations which provide scholarships to help children in need escape failing public schools. This is why the legislation is supported by so many in our minority communities, where the financial need is the greatest and the disparity in educational outcomes between public and Catholic schools are so great. Parents in these communities are desperate for a better future for their children, a future that our schools can provide. Why their representatives are insensitive to them is a mystery. “We have a difficult time understanding how in the world this has proven to be such difficult legislation to pass. We have a Governor who has called it a ‘matter of justice’ and included it in his executive budget. We have a Senate that passed it overwhelmingly by a vote of 44-16 earlier this year. And we have an Assembly with a solid majority of Democrats and Republicans who have said they support it. In addition, it has the support of more than 150 community, business, education, faith and labor organizations. Yet, somehow, it ended up pulled from the budget agreement, while the public schools again get a new boost to their gargantuan budget. “So, while we have many supporters we can and do thank, there is also plenty of blame to go around. Our elected officials must cease allowing public school teachers unions intent on creating a government school monopoly to continue dictating education policy in our state. We turn again to our leaders to do the right thing, and pass the Education Tax Credit, not for any interest group, but for the children of our state. Every year that goes by is more lost opportunity for untold numbers of children. Their futures will not wait. Who will put their needs first?” May 3, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Easter St. Rosalie’s Bulletin Fifth Sunday of Easter www.saintrosalie.com Page 7 May 3, 2015 Page 8 www.saintrosalie.com St. Rosalie’s Bulletin The Lazarus Bereavement Support Program at St. Rosalie’s Church We have all suffered the loss of someone near and very dear to us. It may have been a spouse, a child, a sibling or a friend. Sometimes our grief can be so devastating that we may feel completely lost and alone. The Lazarus Bereavement Support Program is a nine-week program that provides members with an opportunity to understand grief in a way that rebuilds our identity and strengthens our faith in ourselves and in our Lord. Now in its fourth year, the Lazarus Bereavement Support Program helps members to understand that grief is experienced in each person differently, and that it often takes a very long time for the pain to heal. Participants will learn strategies for dealing with grief, and will receive and give valuable group support and fellowship throughout the healing process. Anyone who has experienced grief will be enriched by attending. The Lazarus Bereavement Support Program at St. Rosalie's will meet on Tuesday mornings beginning May 5, 2015, and will run for nine weeks. The co-facilitators, Dr. Christopher Hayes and Father Kevin Thompson, assisted by Deacon Chris Ervin, invite all interested parties to register by calling the Parish Center at 631-728-9461. Please register early before the maximum enrollment is reached.

La Obligación Pascual - Todos los católicos ya iniciados en la Sagrada Eucaristía tienen la obligación de recibir la Sagrada Comunión por lo menos una vez durante la temporada Pascual: Domingo de Pascua, 5 de abril, hasta Pentecostés, 24 de mayo. (En los Estados Unidos, la Obligación Pascual puede cumplirse hasta el domingo de la Santísima Trinidad, 31 de mayo). Se exhorta a los católicos a que reciban la Comunión con la frecuencia que les sea posible durante el año litúrgico, no solo durante la temporada pascual. Sin embargo, “Quien tiene conciencia de estar en pecado grave debe recibir el Sacramento de la Reconciliación antes de acercarse a comulgar.” (CCE, §1385) RINCÓN DE INFORMACIÓN V Domingo de Pascua, Año B. Ilustración © 1999 S. Erspamer. Printed from www.Liturgy.com Vid y Sarmiento - Comprende uno la comparación de Cristo: Yo soy la cepa, Yo soy como el tronquito que está en la tierra sacando el jugo, la vid; las ramitas son ustedes y si permanecen unidos a esta cepa, comenzarán a producir los grandes racimos. Y mi Padre es el agricultor, Él cortará esos racimos para que echen más, para que produzcan más. Permaneced unidos conmigo; si no permanecéis unidos conmigo, moriréis. "Sin Mí nada podéis hacer". No se trata del hacer natural, hay muchos pecadores que están haciendo mucho. Todos los trabajos de la tierra se pueden hacer sin vivir en gracia de Dios; y hasta puede darse el caso que un profesional, un artista, un artesano sea buen profesional, buen artista y no se preocupa de vivir en gracia de Dios; pero todo lo que está produciendo es como una cepa arrancada, no circula por allí la vida de la vid; no está unido a Cristo y puede producir muchos frutos en la tierra, grandes organizaciones, pero no produce para la vida eterna. Cuando Cristo dice: "Sin Mí nada podéis hacer" se está refiriendo a ese quehacer que permanece para la vida eterna. Tomado de la Homilía de Mons.
