Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 1, 2016
Pastor’s Corner
May: Month of Mary
The month of May is the "month which the piety of the faithful
has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady," and it is the occasion
for a "moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of
the world pay to the Queen of Heaven. During this month, Christians,
both in church and in the privacy of the home, offer up to Mary from
their hearts an especially fervent and loving homage of prayer and veneration. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy come down to
us from her throne in greater abundance"
This Christian custom of dedicating the month of May to the
Blessed Virgin arose at the end of the 13th century. In this way, the
Church was able to Christianize the secular feasts which were wont to
take place at that time. The practice dates back at least 700 years and is
still observed around the world today. May is seen as the beginning of
new life and the start of summer, which makes this a logical time for
the celebrations of Mary, who brought life into the world.
The practice became especially popular among the members of
the Jesuit Order — by 1700 it took hold among their students at the
Roman College and a bit later it was publicly practiced in the Gesu
Church in Rome. From there it spread to the whole Church. The practice was granted a partial indulgence by Pius
VII in 1815 and a plenary indulgence by Pius IX in 1859.
The pious practice of honoring Mary during the month of May has been especially recommended by the
Popes. Pius XII made frequent reference to it and in his great Encyclical on the Sacred Liturgy (Mediator Dei) characterized it as one of "other exercises of piety which although not strictly belonging to the Sacred Liturgy, are nevertheless of special import and dignity, and may be considered in a certain way to be an addition to the liturgical cult:
they have been approved and praised over and over again by the Apostolic See and by the Bishops." Paul VI wrote
a short encyclical in 1965 using the Month of Mary devotion as a means of obtaining prayers for peace. He urged the
faithful to make use of this practice which is "gladdening and consoling" and by which the Blessed Virgin Mary is
honored and the Christian people are enriched with spiritual gifts." In May of 2002 Pope St. John Paul II said,
"Today we begin the month dedicated to Our Lady a favorite of popular devotion. In accord with a long-standing
tradition of devotion, parishes and families continue to make the month of May a 'Marian' month, celebrating it with
many devout liturgical, catechetical and pastoral initiatives!"
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of the Church and therefore the example, as well as the guide and
inspiration, of everyone who, in and through the Church, seeks to be the servant of God and man and the obedient
agent of the promptings of the Holy Spirit. In May there are a number of wonderful feast days including the Anniversary of Fatima (May 13) and the Feast of the Queenship of Mary (May 31) according to the 1962 calendar. According to the 1969 Calendar, May 31 is the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations:
Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like
your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12,
13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests, deacons and religious should result in a
holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard
among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

You taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us
your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being
enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness
only in created things; made Peter weep after his
betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan
woman: “If you knew the gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above
all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen
and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that
they may feel compassion for those in
ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send Your Spirit And Consecrate Every One Of Us With Its Anointing. So The
Jubilee of Mercy May Be A Year Of Grace From The Lord. And Your Church.
With Renewed Enthusiasm, May We Bring Your Good News To The Poor. Proclaim Liberty To Captives And The Oppressed, And Restore Sight To The Blind.
We Ask This Through The Intercession Of Mary, o Mercy, and You who lives and reigns
with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever Amen.

Mayo: El Mes de María
El mes de mayo es el "mes que la piedad de los fieles ha dedicado especialmente a la Santísima Virgen", y es la ocasión para un "conmovedor homenaje de
fe y amor que los católicos de todo el mundo paga a la Reina del cielo. Durante
este mes, los cristianos, tanto en la iglesia y en la intimidad de la casa, ofrecer a
María desde sus corazones, especialmente un ferviente homenaje y amante de la
oración y veneración. En este mes, también, los beneficios de la misericordia de
Dios llega a nosotros desde su trono en mayor abundancia"
Esta costumbre cristiana de dedicar el mes de mayo a la Santísima Virgen
surgió a finales del siglo 13. De esta manera, la Iglesia fue capaz de cristianizar las
fiestas seculares que se acostumbra a tener lugar en ese momento. La práctica se
remonta al menos 700 años y sigue siendo observada en todo el mundo de hoy.
Mayo es visto como el comienzo de una vida nueva y el comienzo del verano, lo
que hace de este un tiempo lógico para las celebraciones de María, quien trajo la
vida en el mundo.
La práctica se hizo especialmente popular entre los miembros de la orden
de los Jesuitas, en 1700 se apoderó de sus estudiantes en el Colegio Romano y un
poco más tarde se practica públicamente en la Iglesia Gesu en Roma. De allí se extendió a toda la Iglesia. La práctica
se concede la indulgencia parcial por Pío VII en 1815 y la indulgencia plenaria por Pío IX en 1859.
La piadosa práctica de honrar a María durante el mes de mayo ha sido especialmente recomendado por los
Papas. Pío XII hizo referencia frecuente a él y en su gran encíclica sobre la sagrada liturgia (Mediator Dei) caracterizado como uno de "los otros ejercicios de piedad que aunque no estrictamente pertenecientes a la Sagrada Liturgia,
son sin embargo de importación especial y dignidad, pueden considerarse en cierto modo a ser una adición al culto:
litúrgico. Han sido aprobadas y elogió una y otra vez por la Sede Apostólica y de los Obispos." Pablo VI escribió
una breve carta encíclica en 1965 utilizando la devoción de el mes de María como medio de obtención de oraciones
por la paz. Instó a los fieles a hacer uso de esta práctica que es "alegrando y consoladora" y por la cual la Virgen María es honrada y el pueblo cristiano está enriquecido con los dones espirituales." En mayo de 2002 el Papa San Juan
Pablo II dijo: "Hoy empezamos el mes dedicado a nuestra Señora, una de las favoritas de la devoción popular. De
acuerdo con una larga tradición de devoción, las parroquias y las familias siguen haciendo el mes de mayo un mes
'Marian', celebrándo con muchos devotos litúrgico, catequético y las iniciativas pastorales".
La Santísima Virgen María es la Madre de la Iglesia y, por tanto, el ejemplo, así como la guía e inspiración de
todos los que, en la Iglesia y mediante la Iglesia, aspira a ser el siervo de Dios y del hombre, y el agente obediente a
las inspiraciones del Espíritu Santo. En mayo hay una serie de maravillosos días de fiesta incluyendo el aniversario
de Fátima (13 de mayo) y la Fiesta de la realeza de María (31 de mayo de 1962) según el calendario. Según el calendario, el 31 de mayo de 1969 es la Visitación de la santísima Virgen María. (www.acatholiclife.blogspot.com)

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais extranjero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las almas de tus
sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones: Jesús de la coseha, mira
con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego Bendito sea el Señor, porque él ha escuchado el sonido de mi escrito: "el Señor es mi fortaleza y mi escudo. En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante y con mi hijo le doy fuerza mi escudo . En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda;
a continuación, mi corazón exultante, y con mi canción le doy gracias. Salmo 28:6 con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón semejante al tuyo.
María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

Oración para el Año de la Misericordia
Señor Jesucristo,
Tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho
que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación.
Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la
adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura;
hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido.
Haz que cada uno de nosot
ros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la
samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia
sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y
glorioso.
Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de
debilidad
para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en
la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de
ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que
el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu
Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva
a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los
ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia,a ti que vives y
reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
“Un tiempo para Sanar, para Ayudar, para Perdonar"
.
