PRAYER OF THE WEEK
May 6, 2012, Fifth Sunday of Easter
Almighty ever-living God, constantly accomplish the Paschal
Mystery within us, that those you were pleased to
make new in Holy Baptism may, under your protective
care, bear much fruit and come to the joys of life eternal.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Reflection question:
What does it mean for me to bear fruit for the reign of
God?

From the Pastor
This weekend our second-graders make their First Holy Communion: Chinedum Chike, Rebecca
Gardner, Jonathan Hille, Meegane Konchou, Samuel Kramer, Noah Mangino, Isabela Martins, Ijeamaka
Onuorah, Jennifer Serra, Kayla Wilson, Tyler Wilson, and Tiffany Yang.
Through the instruction they have received from their loving parents and catechists, these children
have come to personal faith in Jesus and his true Presence in the Eucharist.
They are now prepared to render to God the gift of their faith and so be joined to Jesus in Holy Communion
through the sacramental eating of His Body and Blood.
With the Church, they give thanks to God and praise him for making them his own through faith
and baptism.
With the Church, they recall the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus by which they know the
forgiveness of their sins and the promise of eternal life.
With the Church, they offer themselves as a living sacrifice to God in union with Jesus’ sacrifice on
the Cross.
With the Church, they receive Holy Communion and so become sharers in the life of the God, the
Blessed Trinity.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with them always.
Yours in Christ,
Father Walter

Papal Intentions for May
For each month of the year, the Holy Father, Pope Benedict,
XVI, asks the faithful to lift up prayers for very specific issues.
These are called the Papal Intentions of the month.
There is a general intention and an intention focusing on
mission for each month.
For May, the Holy Father has asked us to pray:
That initiatives which defend and uphold the role of the
family may be promoted within society.
- and -
That Mary, Queen of the World and Star of Evangelisation,
may accompany all missionaries in proclaiming her Son Jesus.
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.
The Holy Spirit, as Pope Leo XIII reminded us, is the soul of
the Church: All the activity and service of the members of the
Church, beginning with the supreme participation of the
Blessed Mother in the work of the Church, is vivified by the
Holy Spirit as the body, in all its activities, is vivified by its
soul. The Holy Spirit is the Paraclete, Advocate, and Comforter
which Christ Himself sent to be our consolation in the
sorrowful mysteries of life, our source of moderation in the
joyful mysteries of life, our added principle of exaltation in
the glorious mysteries of life.
So He was for the Blessed Mother; so also He is for the least
of us; so also He is for the rest of the Church, even for those
who are its unconscious but conscientious members.
Wherever there is faith there is the example of Mary, because
she lived by faith as the Scriptures remind us....
If, then, piety is the virtue which binds us to the sources of all
life, to God, to our parents, to the Church, to Christ, certainly
Christian piety binds us, in grateful love, to Mary — or our
acceptance of Christ and of the mystery of our kinship with
Him is imperfect, partial, and unfulfilled.
— Cardinal John Wright
May – The month of Mary
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" (no. 182).
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" (no. 2).
In May of 2002 Pope 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!"
