STEWARDSHIP / CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Gratitude in Action: Our Way of Life / Gratitud en Acción: Nuestra forma de Vida
The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity
and the result of the love that exists between Father and
Son. Of the three Divine Persons, He is the One Who
gives life to the Church.1
Through the Liturgy, the Holy Spirit dispenses gifts to the
faithful. Powers or charisms, such as miracles, prophecy
and tongues, is one type given and used primarily for the
sanctification of others.1
The second type is primarily for the sanctification of the
person receiving the gift. These gifts are those with which
we are most familiar: wisdom, understanding, counsel,
fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. The
reception of these gifts helps us better discern and
embrace the will of God.1
The Holy Spirit, working through each of us, can do so
much if we allow Him to enter our being, take control of
our will, and direct our every thought, word and deed.
Come Holy Spirit! This is the second of three
presentations facilitator, Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS, will
make during our Parish Mission.
During this time, Tracy will remind us of the basics of
EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP: Reflections for the
Journey, which include being Mindful, Prayerful,
Grateful, Gracious, Committed and Accountable.
What happens when we give up our will and give in to the
will of God?
Tracy comments that God, in the person of the Holy Spirit,
came upon an early Church to provide tremendous
strength in the face of great trials. He then queries what it
might look like today if we, as Church, were to “truly”
give in to the Spirit?
During this second presentation, Tracy will focus on
Ignatian and Salesian spiritualities, approaching them in
everyday language. He will also explore the four primary
actions of everyday stewardship living: sharing, service,
sowing, and surrender.
“Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all
be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may
be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but
what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all
that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always
may be holy. Amen.” (Laudate: Prayer to the Holy Spirit)

El Espíritu Santo es la tercera persona de la Santísima
Trinidad y el resultado del amor que existe entre el
Padre y el Hijo. De las tres Personas Divinas, Él es el
que da vida a la Iglesia.1
A través de la Liturgia, el Espíritu Santo entrega dones a
los fieles. Los poderes o carismas, tales como los
milagros, la profecía y las lenguas, son un tipo dado y se
usan principalmente para la santificación de otros.1
El segundo tipo es principalmente para la santificación
de la persona que recibe el regalo. Estos dones son
aquellos con los que estamos más familiarizados:
sabiduría, comprensión, consejo, fortaleza, conocimiento,
piedad y temor del Señor. La recepción de estos dones
nos ayuda a discernir y abrazar mejor la voluntad de
Dios.1
El Espíritu Santo, trabajando a través de cada uno de
nosotros, puede hacer mucho si le permitimos que entre
en nuestro ser, tomar el control de nuestra voluntad y
dirigir todos nuestros pensamientos, palabras y hechos.
¡Ven, Espíritu Santo! Esta es la segunda de las tres
presentaciones que hará el facilitador, Tracy Earl
Welliver, MTS, durante nuestra Misión Parroquial.
Durante este tiempo, Tracy nos recordará los conceptos
básicos de LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DE TODOS
LOS DÍAS: Reflexiones para el viaje, que incluyen ser
Atento, Orar, Agradecido, Amable, Comprometido y
Responsable.
¿Qué sucede cuando renunciamos a nuestra voluntad y
cedemos ante la voluntad de Dios?
Tracy comenta que Dios, en la persona del Espíritu
Santo, llegó a una iglesia primitiva para proporcionar
una fuerza tremenda ante las grandes pruebas. Luego
pregunta cómo se vería hoy si nosotros, como Iglesia,
“cediéramos” verdaderamente al Espíritu.
Durante esta segunda presentación, Tracy se centrará en
las espiritualidades ignaciana y salesiana, abordándolas
en el lenguaje cotidiano. También explorará las cuatro
acciones principales de la corresponsabilidad diaria:
compartir, servir, sembrar y rendirse.
“Respira, oh Espíritu Santo, que todos mis pensamientos
sean santos. Actúa en mí, oh Espíritu Santo, para que mi
obra también sea santa. Dibuja mi corazón, oh Espíritu
Santo, que amo, pero lo que es santo. Fortaléceme, oh
Espíritu Santo, para defender todo lo que es santo.
Guárdame, entonces, oh Espíritu Santo, para que
siempre pueda ser santo. Amén.” (Laudate: Oración al
Espíritu Santo)
Pastor’s Message by Father Oscar Martin Picos
What is this apparition?
Jesus greets His disciples with great
cordiality. It is the greeting of every day, as
if nothing has happened. He shows them His
hands and His side as an effective form of
identification.
The wounds of Jesus are marked even in His resurrection,
a good sign for the converts whose wounds of the past are
still present but already converted into resurrection. The
wounds no longer hurt; they only show that the body that
suffered death is now perpetuated in eternal life.
Just seeing the Lord fortifies the faith of the apostles. The
Scripture tells us they are glad to see the Lord (John: 20).
Happiness overwhelms fear. Some people call themselves
Christians, but their lives are enveloped by fear rather
than the joy that comes from God. Instead of sharing the
joy of the Resurrection, they spread the fear that they
carry inside
themselves.
Thomas is not there.
What has happened
to Thomas? Does he
not share the fear of
the other apostles?
Is he perhaps the
only brave one who
is not afraid to go
out?
Thomas does not
value the testimony
of the other apostles.
He refuses to believe what he did not see. In our faith
community, some people are absent from our celebrations
and worship. Like Thomas, they cannot believe what they
do not see. They ask for proof when they have been
unable to open the door and be with the others.
After eight days, Jesus returns to appear on a Sunday. The
doors are still closed. This time, Thomas is there with the
other disciples. Jesus greets them and addresses the
doubter directly, responding word by word to the
distrustful apostle. Thomas is not an unconverted man. He
has sufficient faith to follow Christ. What he lacks is
enough faith to accept the testimony of others and believe
in the Lord’s Resurrection without seeing the palpable
evidence himself. Ashamed, he exclaims, "My Lord and
my God!" What has happened to Thomas is that he was
slow to believe. Now, his doubt has been transformed into
a confession of explicit and sincere faith.
(continued on page 5)
¿Cómo fue esta aparición?
Jesús les saluda con mucha cordialidad; es el saludo
de todos los días como si nada hubiese pasado. Les
enseña las manos y el costado como eficaz forma de
identificación.
Las heridas de Jesús quedaron marcadas incluso en su
resurrección. Buena señal para los convertidos cuyas
heridas del pasado siguen estando presentes, pero ya
reconvertidas en resurrección. Las heridas que están
presentes en la nueva condición ya no duelen, sólo
están demostrando que realmente aquel cuerpo que
sufrió la muerte se perpetúa ahora en la vida eterna.
Nada más ver al Señor la fe de los apóstoles quedó
robustecida. Dice la Escritura que "ellos se alegraron
de ver al Señor." (v.20). De nuevo la alegría desbanca
al miedo. Hay algunos que se dicen cristianos y viven
rodeados de miedos y son enemigos de la alegría que
viene de Dios. Más que cristianos padecen de
cristianismo. Más que la alegría de la resurrección son
anunciadores del miedo que llevan dentro.
Tomás no estaba. ¿Qué ocurrió con Tomás? ¿Tomás
no tenía miedo de salir a la calle? ¿No participaba del
temor de los demás apóstoles? ¿Fue quizás el único
valiente?
En nuestras parroquias hay personas alejadas de
nuestras celebraciones y cultos, son los descendientes
de ese Tomás que no quiere o no puede creer sin
evidencias más que palpables. Esas personas piden
pruebas cuando en realidad no han sido capaces de
abrir la puerta y estar con los demás. Tomás no
valoraba el testimonio de todos los otros; se
consideraba a sí mismo o muy prudente o
excesivamente superior. Pensaba que los demás eran
demasiado crédulos.
A los ocho días vuelve de nuevo Jesús a aparecerse un
domingo. Las puertas seguían cerradas.
Esta vez estaba Tomás entre ellos. Jesús les saluda y se
dirige directamente al que dudaba. El Maestro le
responde palabra por palabra al apóstol desconfiado.
Aquél seguidor de Jesús no pensemos que era un
inconverso. Tomás tenía una calidad suficiente de fe
como para estar siguiendo a Cristo, pero lo que le
faltaba era fe para dar crédito al testimonio de otros.
Avergonzado exclama: "¡Señor mío y Dios mío!"
Ahora la duda se ha vuelto confesión de fe explícita y
sincera. Lo que le pasó a nuestro apóstol es que fue
lento en el creer.

Remembering our Deceased Loved Ones
During May, we will transition remembrance of our
deceased loved ones from the Sanctuary Candle to Our
Blessed Mother. A candle will burn perpetually near Our
Mother’s statue, Our Lady of Grace, in the Sanctuary.
Those of you who have reserved a specific week during
the early part of May to remember a loved one will be
offered another time of your choice to reschedule your
remembrance. Please call the parish office at 673-2604
to make rescheduling arrangements. We appreciate your
patience while we undergo this transition.
Once the transition is complete, we will continue to pray
for the repose of the souls of our deceased loved ones at
each Mass seeking the intercession of Our Lady of Grace.
Please plan to continue to remember in this very special
way those you have loved, who have now passed away
and are no longer with us. May they now rest in the
peace of God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

(continued from page 3)
At times in my life, the doors of my heart and soul have
been closed by distrust and fear, not of the Jews but of
God. The Lord does not want to leave me alone. He
enters without asking permission. He calms me with a
profound greeting of peace and speaks to me. I have no
escape. I try to excuse myself, not wanting to see that
the Lord is so close to me that I can clearly see His
wounds and His Resurrection. He greets me again....
I, a modern Thomas, am slow to believe.... I only ask
You, Lord, despite my slowness, to enter even though I
have my doors closed. You can do it and I want You to
do it. My Lord and my God! Remind me of Your
presence and Your Resurrection even though the doors
of my inner self are closed.
The story of Thomas is that of many believers. We want
to see to believe, when in reality we must believe to see.

Hay veces que en mi vida tengo las puertas de mi
corazón cerradas por la desconfianza y por el miedo,
no a los judíos, sino a mi conciencia, a Dios. El Señor
no me quiere dejar solo y entra sin pedir permiso; me
saluda con ese saludo profundo de paz, y me habla
ahora a mí. No tengo escapatoria. En cambio me
excuso a mí mismo no queriendo ver que el Señor está
tan cerca de mí que puedo ver con claridad sus heridas
y su resurrección. Me saluda de nuevo... Yo, cual
moderno Tomás, sigo lento en el creer... Sólo te pido
Señor que a pesar de mi lentitud, entra sin miedo a mi
vida aunque yo tenga mis puertas cerradas, Tú puedes
hacerlo y yo deseo que lo hagas.
¡Señor mío y Dios mío! Recuérdame tu presencia y tu
resurrección aunque las puertas de mi yo estén
cerradas.
Creo que la historia de Tomás es la de muchos
creyentes que esperamos ver para creer, cuando en
realidad tendríamos que creer para ver...
