Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Abiding in Love
Permanecer en el Amor
“I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.” Today’s psalm refrain captures the theme of God’s merciful love which is illustrated in both the Old Testament
reading and Luke’s Gospel. Both recount the raising of
a widow’s son from the dead. In the first story, Elijah
calls out to God, “Lord, my God, let the life breath return
to the body of this child.” In the Gospel, Jesus encounters a funeral procession and says to the grieving mother, “Do not weep.” He then says,” Young man, I tell you
arise.” The sons in both instances are immediately returned to life and enfolded once again in their mothers’
love.
The image of the mothers draws us to God,
whose joy is boundless when we are restored to life when we once again abide and rest in his loving presence. Our relationship with God affects every moment
of our lives and the lives of others. When we abide with
God during our daily interactions, we enhance God’s
kingdom on earth. Every time we are kind, supportive,
and loving, grace abounds and life is restored in some
fashion. These are the resurrection moments symbolized in today’s readings. These are the “calls to life”
that God asks of us. Each of us becomes his hands
and feet on earth as we strive to bless one another as
we journey toward our heavenly home. In his epistle,
Saint Paul provides an example of the zeal with which
we are to live grace-filled lives. Paul testifies that after
his conversion on the
road to Damascus, the
“revelation of Jesus
Christ” inspired his
every thought and action. We seek to live
with this same confidence realizing that
“God is love, and whoever abides in love
abides in God, and
God
in
him” (Communion Antiphon).
“Te alabaré, Señor, porque me has salvado”. El estribillo del salmo de hoy capta el tema del amor misericordioso de Dios, el cual se ilustra tanto en la lectura del
Antiguo Testamento como en el Evangelio de Lucas.
Ambas lecturas relatan la resurrección de entre los
muertos del hijo de una viuda; en la primera Elías suplica al Señor diciendo: "Devuélvele la vida a este niño",
mientras que en el Evangelio, Jesús se encuentra con
una procesión funeral y compadeciéndose de la viuda le
dice: "No llores". Acercándose al ataúd, tocó al hijo, y le
dijo: "Joven, yo te lo mando: levántate". Los hijos, en
ambos casos, vuelven inmediatamente a la vida y una
vez más son devueltos al amor de sus madres. La imagen de las madres nos acerca a la imagen de Dios, cuya alegría es sin límites cuando somos restaurados a la
vida - cuando una vez más permanecemos y descansamos en su presencia amorosa. Nuestra relación con
Dios permea cada momento de nuestras vidas y de las
vidas de los demás. Cuando permanecemos en Dios a
través de nuestras interacciones diarias, mejoramos el
reino de Dios en la tierra; cada vez que somos amables
y damos apoyo y amor, hacemos que la gracia abunde y
se restaure de alguna manera la vida. Estos son los
momentos de resurrección simbolizados en las lecturas
de hoy; las "llamadas a la vida" que Dios nos pide. Cada uno de nosotros nos convertimos en sus manos y
sus pies en la tierra, mientras nos esforzamos por bendecirnos los unos a los otros
mientras caminamos hacia nuestro hogar
celestial. En su epístola, San Pablo nos da
un ejemplo del fervor con el cual debemos
vivir vidas llenas de gracia. Pablo testifica
que después de su conversión de camino
hacia Damasco, la "revelación de Jesucristo" inspiró cada uno de sus pensamientos y
acciones. Buscamos vivir con esta misma
confianza sabiendo que "Dios es amor y
quien permanece en el amor, permanece
en Dios y Dios en él" (Antífona de la Comunión).

Invited to Feast: Break Bread and Share
Our Lady of the Assumption School
On this very important feast
of the Body and Blood of
Christ, as the OLA Family,
we join together to celebrate the source and summit of our faith, Jesus
Christ. St. Augustine reflected on the gift of the Eucharist when he declared to those who gathered at the
table of the Lord, “Receive who you are”! This was not
what we would expect when we answer Amen to the declaration, “The Body of Christ” or even the hope of responding to “Receive who you desire or hope to be.” But
rather, it is the realization that through baptism and Eucharist, I have been born anew in Christ and that Jesus
has claims me as His own. Therefore, I am in Christ and
with Christ, always. This is our destiny as sharers in the
Body and Blood of the Lord. Not only is this a great gift
but the realization that I have been chosen by Christ to
be His image and likeness to those around me. I am different because of this relationship and I want to be different so that others may see and hear Christ through me.
This is our vocation, this is our identity, this is our hope
for others to share.
It is my desire to bring this gift of Christ to our community.
As in that past and again on September 17th, OLA will
celebrate the popular, outdoor mass on the school field. I
know this is a great experience of the Church family gathered in prayer. Another simple, yet compelling way to
experience this is through an intimate Mass in the homes
of parishioners. Gathering family, friends, and neighbors
together to share the Eucharist and a simple meal is another way to enjoy our life in the Lord. This summer, I
would like to begin celebrating home masses. Be a host
family and invite family, friends, and others who may wish
to join us. Let us gather on a Saturday or Sunday evening to celebrate Mass, enjoy a shared meal, and invite
the Eucharistic Christ to be a special part of our summer
journey of faith. Call or email the parish rectory for details and let us set a date.
Monday June 6th and Tuesday June 7th
there will be a used uniform sale, see the
website for more info. Also on Monday, the
8th Graders will have their class retreat,
please keep them in your prayers as they
approach graduation. Wednesday June
8th at 11:00 there will be a Farewell Assembly, the entire
school will salute the Grads.
Also, at 5:00 pm the Graduation
Mass and Presentation of the Diplomas will be held in the church.
Thursday June 9th is Karma Day,
plan on a fun day for all. Friday June
10th is the last day of school, this is a
noon dismissal day. Wishing all the
OLA families a safe, enjoyable and restful summer.
Blessings and Peace,
Fr. Leon

Did you Know?
Pool safety is about more than
swimming
Eucharistic Adoration
Swimming is a fun way to have
some fun and beat the heat during the summer. Parents should
teach their children about swimming safety, including how to
identify and handle uncomfortable
situations. Although you may be
watching closely to make sure your kids are safe in the
water, don’t forget about when they’re walking around,
sitting out by the pool, using the restrooms or out of sight.
Teach your children what to do when they feel uncomfortable at the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away
and find a parent or trusted adult at any time. For more
information and a copy of the article called “Know the
Rules«Summer Safety Tips to Teach Children” from the
National Center for Missing and Exploited, email:

Con lo que el regalo de Cristo a Nuestra
Comunidad
Es mi deseo traer el regalo de Cristo a nuestra
comunidad. Como lo hemos hecho en el pasado, este 17
de Septiembre celebraremos la Misa al Aire Libre aquí en
OLA. Sé que es una gran experiencia el unirnos en
oración como familia parroquial.
Otra experiencia
sencilla, pero muy conmovedora de sentirnos en familia
es con una Misa intima en los hogares de los
feligreses. Unir a la familia, a los amigos y a los vecinos
para compartir la Eucaristía y una comida sencilla es una
manera de disfrutar nuestra vida con el Señor. Este
verano, me gustaría empezar a celebrar misas en los
hogares. Sea una familia anfitriona e invite a sus
familiares, amigos y los que deseen que nos
acompañen. Nos reuniremos el sábado o el domingo por
la noche para celebrar la Misa, compartir la comida, e
invitar a Cristo Eucarístico a ser pare de nuestra jornada
de fe este verano. Llame o mande un correo electrónico
a la oficina parroquial para más detalles y para elegir una
fecha. Bendiciones y Paz. Padre Leon
¿SABIA USTED?
La seguridad en la piscina implica más
que saber nadar
La natación es una manera divertida de
combatir el calor durante el verano. Los
padres deben enseñar a sus hijos sobre la seguridad
acuática, incluso cómo identificar situaciones incómodas
y cómo reaccionar en estos casos. Aunque usted los está
vigilando atentamente para asegurar que los niños están
a salvo en el agua, no se olvide de poner atención
cuando los niños caminan o se sientan alrededor de la
piscina, usan el baño o cuando están fuera de la vista.
Enseñe a sus hijos qué hacer si se sienten incómodos en
la piscina y que al cualquier momento está bien huir y
buscar un adulto de confianza. Para más información y

Center for Missing and Exploited Children, envíe un
