LA PLENITUD DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO
La Iglesia se despierta esta mañana con un asombroso
mensaje. Mira a tu alrededor a ver quién ha sido llamado.
Escucha las voces de los que proclaman que Jesús es el Señor. Encontrarás que ningún pueblo ni raza ha sido excluido; ningún idioma del mundo es incapaz de proclamar la
gloria de Dios. Decimos que el Domingo de Pentecostés es
el “cumpleaños de la Iglesia”. En diversas maneras, la Iglesia todavía está naciendo. Sólo cuando todos
conozcan la paz que Jesús ofrece en el Evangelio de hoy es que de veras conoceremos la
plenitud del Espíritu Santo.
San Pablo nos asegura en la segunda lectura de hoy que “a todos se nos ha dado a beber del mismo Espíritu”. Cuando pasamos
nuestra mirada por la Iglesia, deberíamos de
ver a todos. Pero no es así. Todavía no, ¿qué
barrera nos impide abrazarnos en un solo
Cuerpo de Cristo? ¿Cuándo vamos a reconocer
que nuestras diferencias son manifestaciones
de un mismo Espíritu Santo? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The church wakes up to an amazing message this
morning. Look around and see who has been called. Listen
to the voices of those who proclaim Jesus is Lord. You’ll
find no race of people left out; you’ll find no language on
earth unfit to proclaim the glory of God. We call Pentecost
Sunday the “birthday of the church.” In many ways, the
church is still being born. Only when we all know the
peace Jesus offered in today’s Gospel will
we really know the fullness of the Holy
Spirit.
St. Paul assures us in today’s second reading that “all of us have been given
to drink of the one
Spirit.” When we look around us in the
church we should see everyone. But we
don’t. Not yet. What is holding us back
from fully embracing the one Body of
Christ? When will we see our differences
as manifestations of the same Holy Spirit?

Pentecost Sunday
Dear friends in Christ -
Queridos amigos en Cristo -
What joy it brings me, your pastor, when we can celebrate such a
special occasion as today, bringing together our entire community of
faith in one great act of thanksgiving and praise to our God! I hope
that joy is shared by many of you.
¡Como su pastor, cuan gozo tengo, cuando podemos celebrar tal ocasión especial, reuniendo a toda la comunidad en un gran acto de gracias y alabanzas a nuestro Señor! Espero sinceramene que se comparte el mismo gozo por todos los que asisten.
That joy brings a challenge as well - our joy is meant to be shared.
As the apostles, charged with the Spirit’s fire, went out to spread the
Good News to the world, so do we! Great challenges await us. Today, we bless a piece of land, set aside to help us to meet these challenges. What things will happen on this property? What buildings
will be constructed to do the work of God? When will all this happen? Much of that we don’t know yet. What we do know is - the
same Spirit that guided the apostles in their early missionary work,
guides us as well! As we are open to the Spirit’s prompting, we can
have complete confidence that He will show us the way. And that,
above all, is why we can be joyful! -- Fr. Paul
A lo mejor, ese gozo que sentimos nos presenta un reto también. Así
como los apóstoles, enviados y llenados con el fuego del Espíritu,
fueron a desempeñar la Buena Nueva al mundo, ¡así también nosotros! Muchos retos nos esperan. Hoy, bendecimos un terreno que
hemos apartado para asistirnos en cumplir con la gran tarea que nos
espera. ¿En este terreno, qué va a pasar? ¿Qué clase de edificio se va
a construir para servir las necesidades de nuestra comunidad? ¿Y
Cuando sucederá todo esto? Todavía no podemos contestar con certitud. Pero lo que de veras sabemos es - que el mismo Espiritu que
guió los apóstoles en su obra misionera, nos guia a nosotros también!
Si estamos abiertos al Espíritu, podemos estar ciertos que Él nos enseñara el camino. Y eso, sobretodo, es el motivo de nuestro gozo! -Padre Paul
Are you between 20 and 30, and single? How about a great retreat? Sacred Heart Church in Hallettsville is sponsoring a Young
Adult Retreat at Cathedral Oaks this June 2-5; applications are available at our church entrances. Apply soon!
Graduates’ Masses: We will honor, and bless, our High School and
College graduates at the 9:30 and 11:30 masses next Sunday, May
24. A short reception will be held after each of these masses.
Graduates, bring your cap and gown if you have them; if not, just
come! If you call our office, 672-2945, to let us know you are coming, we can be better prepared.
Parish Goals and Priorities: As a result of a consultative process
throughout the Archdiocese, Archbishop Gustavo, last year on the
Feast of Pentecost, outlined three priorities for the Church of our
Archdiocese:
1) The New Evangelization: Preparing the Good News with joy,
zeal and renewed spirit;
2) Catechesis and Formation: Growing in our Faith and Knowledge
of Jesus Christ; and
¿Esttás entre las edades de 20 y 30, y soltero(a)? La Iglesia Sagrado Corazón en Hallettsville va a conducir un Retiro para Jóvenes
Adultos en Cathedral Oaks el 2-5 de junio; se puede hallar una solicitud en la entrada de la iglesia. ¡Hágalo pronto!
Misas de Graduados: Vamos a honrar y bendecir los graduados de
High School y Colegio en las misas de 9:30 y 11:30 el domingo, mayo 24. Habrá una recepción después de estas misas. Graduados, vengan vestidos en su ropa de graduación si pueden; si no lo tienen, de
todos modos venga! Si llamas a nuestra oficina, 672-2945, para avisarnos sobre su participación, nos ayuda a prepararnos.
Metas y Prioridades Parroquiales: Como resulto de un proceso a
través de la Arquidiócesis, Arzobispo Gustavo, el año pasado en la
Fiesta de Pentecostés, estableció tres prioridades por nuestra Iglesia:
1) La Nueva Evangelización: Preparando la Buena Nueva con gozo,
con entuiasmo y espíritu renovado;
2) Catequesis y Formación
3) Youth and Young Adults: Emerging Disciples of Christ.
3) Jóvenes y Júvenes Adultos: Emergiendo Discípulos de Cristo.
Each parish was given the task of identifying strategies for carrying
out these goals locally. With the assistance of our Pastoral Council,
we have described how we plan to share and participate in this Vision; on the sheet you received with this bulletin. As we go forward,
we invite the interest and participation of all, in these highly crucial
areas.
A cada parroquia se comisionó la tarea de identificar estrategias para
llevar a cabo estas prioridades en el nivel local. Con la ayuda del
Consejo Pastoral, hemos sometido nuestro plan de compartir y participar en esta Visión, en la hoja que reciben con este boletín. Al marcharnos hacia el futuro, invitamos el interés y la participación de todos, en estas areas muy importantes.
