The pastoral care of the sick will be misunderstood if we start from the vantage point of the sickroom. Begin with the Sunday assembly, from which the sick person has been separated by the crisis of illness, and whose absence is given expression in prayer and service. The goal is to extend the consolation of the Lord’s presence at the table to those who are apart from it, and for the assembly to enfold them in prayer. Secondarily, the goal is to teach people what the Church desires for all those who are sick. Seeing ministers dispatched to the sick from Mass every Sunday might help a caregiver realize that their dear one can also receive Communion. Witnessing the anointing of a woman facing surgery might help another person to overcome hesitation and ask for the sacrament’s healing and strength. Society’s impulse may be to marginalize the sick, but the tradition of our community is to see them at the center of our life. When Roman persecutors ordered St. Lawrence the Deacon to hand over the jewels of the church, he assembled a motley crew of the sick and the infirm and announced with all humility, “Behold, my lord, the treasures of the church of Christ.” —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA 19 DE ABRIL DE 2015 PÁGINA HISPANA TRADICIONES NUESTRA FE DE Los cristianos somos ¡testigos de Cristo resucitado! Testimoniamos todo lo relacionado con Jesús de Nazaret quien murió en una cruz, fue sepultado y resucitó al tercer día. Debemos ser personas que cantan y gritan ¡Resucitó, Aleluya! Tan importante es la resurrección de Cristo que, mientras tenemos cuarenta días de Cuaresma hay cincuenta días de Pascua en el calendario cristiano. Durante esta época, domingo tras domingo mediante la proclamación del Evangelio se nos transmiten escenas de Cristo, quien cada ocho días se aparecía a sus discípulos confirmando cada Domingo que en verdad había resucitado, instruyéndolos para que pudieran ser verdaderos testigos de su resurrección. Y ¿tú? ¿Cuán buen testigo eres? Un buen testigo da testimonio de lo que ha visto, escuchado y experimentado. Para ser testigo de Cristo hay que verlo, escucharlo y experimentarlo. La Iglesia nos da la oportunidad de verlo, escucharlo y experimentarlo diariamente, en especial durante el domingo. Esto es posible sólo si durante la semana vives con el corazón abierto. Abierto para ver, escuchar y experimentar a Jesús en tu hogar, en tu trabajo, entre tus parientes y amistades. ANULACIÓN Y CONVALIDACIÓN Estamos disponibles para ayudarlo con el proceso que puede permitirle estar en comunión completa con la Iglesia. Por favor, llame a la Oficina de la Iglesia para mayor información o para pedir cita. BAUTISMOS Clases Pre-Bautismales cada primer sábado del mes a las 4:00 pm.
