PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Parishioners,
We celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity, the greatest of all
mysteries of our Christian faith. God has revealed Himself as
three Persons in One God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In
our human mind, this is very hard to comprehend because
metaphysics tells us that a person can only exist in one being.
How can there be three persons in one being? But Scriptures
and Jesus Himself reveals that the Trinity is indeed a reality,
especially when we hear Our Lord commission the apostles to
baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All of
our prayers should begin and end with the Holy Trinity by the
sign of the cross. When we bless ourselves with Holy Water,
we do so in the name of the Trinity. When we end the decade
of the Rosary, we do so by invoking the Trinity – Glory be to
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and shall be forever. Amen.
Please take time to fill out the parish survey. It doesn’t take
that long to complete it. You can do so either by using the
paper surveys on the back and side tables of the church or the
online survey site from the parish website. The parish website
is: http://www.icjax.org. Your feedback is very important to
me. Once we have compiled the results of the surveys, I will
publish the results.
Some time ago, I mentioned a list of projects that need to be
addressed in the parish. While I know many of you are trying
to help us lower the mortgage on the parish hall renovation
account, and rightly so, we need to start addressing one of the
projects that is most urgent. And that is the two sets of granite
stairs in front of the church doors. The tiles are cracking and
coming apart. A patch job is not recommended. Tile experts
have highly suggested a complete replacement of all tiles in
order for the stairs to last for many decades. The cost to replace all of the tiles is $35,101.00.
And now some funnies:
#1 – A man takes his wife to a club, and there is a guy on the
dance floor rockin’ it large. Break dancing, moon walking,
back flips, the works. The wife turns to her husband and says,
“See that guy? Twenty-five years ago he proposed to me, and
I turned him down.”
The husband says, “Looks like he’s still celebrating.”
#2 – A woman told the following to her friend on a phone: “I
feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape. So I got my
doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted,
gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,
by the time I got my leotards on, the class was love.”
#3 – A businessman dragged himself home and barely made it
to his chair before he dropped exhausted. His sympathetic
wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting
word.
“My, you look tired honey,” she said. “You must
have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so
exhausted?”
“It was terrible,” her husband moaned. “The computer broke
down and all of us had to do our own thinking.”
#4 – Nicholas took his four-year-old son, Bryan, to several
baseball games where “The Star Spangled Banner” was sung
before the start of each game.
One Sunday Nicholas and Bryan attended St. Bartholomew’s church service. The congregation sang, “The Star
Spangled Banner.” And after everyone sat down, Bryan suddenly jumped up and yelled out at the top of his voice, “Play
ball!!!”
#5 – In the backwoods of Florida, Mr. Stewart’s wife went
into labor in the middle of the night. The doctor was called in
to assist in the delivery. To keep the nervous father-to-be
busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, “Here, you
hold this high so I can see what I’m doing.” Soon enough, a
baby boy was brought into the world.
“Don’t be in a rush to put the lantern down. I think
there’s yet another wee one to come.” Sure enough within
minutes he had delivered another baby.
“Now don’t be in a great hurry to be putting down
that lantern, young man. It seems there’s yet another!” cried
the doctor.
The new father scratched his head in bewilderment
and asked the doctor. “Do ya think it’s the light that’s attractin’ them?”
#6 – A man buys a parrot, only to have it constantly insult
him. He tries everything to make the parrot stop, but nothing
works. Frustrated, the man puts the parrot in the freezer. After a few minutes the insults stop. The man thinks he might
have killed the parrot. So he opens the freezer and takes the
parrot out. The parrot is shivering. It stammers, “S-s-sorry
for being r-r-rude. Please f-f-forgive me.” Then, after a moment, the parrot softly asks, “Just curious, but w-w-what exactly d-d-did the turkey do?”

MAY SAINT OF MERCY
ST. DAMIEN DE VEUSTER OF MOLOKA’I
El Papa comentó las lecturas de la liturgia del día y dijo que
muchos aseguran haber “aprendido del Catecismo” que el
Espíritu Santo está “en la Trinidad” pero luego no saben
“nada más sobre el Espíritu Santo”.
St. Damien was a selfless man who spent 16 years ministering
to those who suffered from Hansen’s disease. Born Joseph de
Veuster in 1840 in Belgium, Joseph traveled to Oahu in 1864
to do missionary work. St. Damien became aware that priests
were needed on Molokai to help those suffering from Hansen’s
disease, leprosy. He coordinated funding and medical services
from Oahu. He helped raise global awareness of this disease.
Most importantly, he displayed tremendous kindness, easing
the suffering and treating the afflicted with the utmost respect,
leaving a legacy of selflessness and compassion that the people
of Hawaii have never forgotten. In 1889, St. Damien died from
the disease he worked so long to treat.
“El Espíritu Santo es el que mueve la Iglesia, es aquél que
trabaja en la Iglesia, en nuestros corazones, es el que hace de
cada cristiano una persona distinta a la otra, pero de todos
juntos hace una unidad”.

VATICANO, 09 May. 16 / 05:03 am (ACI).- Pocos días antes
de la Fiesta de Pentecostés, el Papa dedicó la homilía de
la Misa en la Casa Santa Marta a hablar del Espíritu Santo y
explicar cómo obra en cada persona si de verdad se le recibe.
“Es aquél –continuó- que lleva adelante, abre las puertas de
par en par y te invita a dar testimonio de Jesús”.
Francisco siguió diciendo: “Es aquél que en nosotros nos enseña a mirar al Padre y a decirle: ‘Padre’. Nos libra de esa
condición de huérfano a la que el espíritu del mundo nos quiere llevar”.
“El Espíritu Santo es el protagonista de la Iglesia viva. Es
aquél que trabaja en la Iglesia”, repitió una vez más. Pero hay
un peligro: “que cuando no vivimos esto, cuando no estamos
en lo alto de esta misión del Espíritu Santo” reduzcamos “la fe
a una moral, una ética”.

NEW PARISHIONERS
Por ello, uno no debe cumplir solo los mandamientos: “esto se
puede hacer, esto no se puede hacer, ‘¡hasta aquí sí, hasta allá
no! Y de ahí a la casuística y a una moral fría”.
If you wish to register as a parishioner of Immaculate Conception
Church, please complete the following and drop it into the offertory
collection basket.
El Papa advirtió entonces que el cristianismo “no es una ética: es un encuentro con Jesucristo”. Y es el Espíritu Santo “el
que me lleva a este encuentro con Jesucristo”, añadió.
Please indicate if you wish to receive offertory envelopes.
“Pero nosotros, en nuestra vida, tenemos en nuestro corazón
el Espíritu Santo como un ‘prisionero de lujo’: no dejamos que
nos impulse, no dejamos que nos mueva. Hace todo, sabe todo,
sabe recordarnos qué ha dicho Jesús, sabe explicarnos las
cosas de Jesús”.
Y “sólo el Espíritu no sabe hacer una cosa: cristianos de
salón. ¡Esto no lo sabe hacer!”, advirtió el Pontífice. “No sabe
hacer ‘cristianos virtuales’, y no virtuosos. Él hace cristianos
reales, Él se encarga de la vida real así como es, con la profecía de leer los signos de los tiempos, y nos lleva adelante
así”.
“Es el gran prisionero de nuestro corazón. Decimos: ‘es’ la
tercera Persona de la Trinidad y terminamos ahí…”, denunció.

State-sanctioned suicides in Oregon keep rising. There were 105
deaths in 2014 (44% higher than the previous year) and 132 in 2015
(another 26% higher). In each of these years, exactly one patient was
under 35 years old. Last year, 78% of those obtaining lethal drugs
were aged 65 and over, with a median age of 73. Most were women;
most had no health insurance, or only government insurance; most
had no living spouse or registered domestic partner. More than 96%
received no psychological evaluation.
The former Hemlock Society, now a multi-million-dollar operation
called "Compassion & Choices," presents its agenda as a boon to
autonomous people who live life on their own terms and want to exit
life the same way to avoid intractable pain. The usual reality is different. When asked why they were obtaining the drug overdose, 96% of
patients said they were less able to engage in activities that make life
enjoyable; almost as many said they were losing their autonomy or
their dignity; about half said they had become a "burden" on family
or caregivers. Fewer than 30% cited any concern about pain. Incidentally, 90% died in a private home -- in 79% of cases no health
professional was present. This profile should be eerily familiar to
public health experts: it describes people most at risk of elder abuse.
Basically Oregon has provided a "safe and legal" way to practice,
and cover up, a most final form of elder abuse. One more demographic question: What age group in America is least supportive of
legalizing assisted suicide? In many polls it is those aged 65 and
over.
Taken from: Life Issues Forum: The True Face of Assisted Suicide by
During this Year of Mercy, the Sisters of St. Joseph of St.
Augustine would like to invite all single Catholic discerning
women to come and visit the Motherhouse of the Sisters located in St. Augustine, FL.
