SUMMER SEMINARIAN AT ST. JEROME

I am Jude Tadeo Friday, fourth born of eight brothers and no girls and studying for the Archdiocese of Tororo, Uganda. Born into a Catholic family. I have been in the Seminary since 2009 when I joined the minor (high school) seminary. I was admitted to Notre Dame Seminary last year in August. I have completed my first Year in Theology. I will be staying at the Seminary until I finish my studies at NDS before I go back to my Diocese in Uganda where I will be ordained as a Priest. Pray for me and I will keep you all in prayers. THANKS.

THE CHURCH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, MAY 24TH, IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY.

THE CHURCH OFFICE WILL REOPEN ON TUESDAY, MAY 25TH 2020.

“PUSHED” OUT ON MISSION There is a delightful character in the original Dr. Dolittle Tales called the “Pushmi-Pullyu.” It is a beast with two identical halves, with a head at each end. No matter which direction the beast walks, one end is the “push me” and the other is the “pull you.” Today’s feast is a bit like that in the life of the church. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, it is the ascension of Christ that calls for the Holy Spirit, which consequently sends or “pushes” the church out on its mission. This is the message that we hear from the angels today as they tell the friends of Jesus not to look up into the clouds, but to get busy. It is the mes-sage of Jesus himself in Matthew’s Gospel, as he sends them out to baptize. He also tells them, “I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). And it is this message, confident in faith that Jesus has ascended to shouts of joy, that “pulls” us along to our final destiny. The life of the faithful disciple, sent into the world on mission, will one day know the same risen, ascended glory.

SEMINARISTA DE VERANO EN SAN JERÓNIMO Mi nombre es Jude Tadeo Friday, soy el número cuatro de ocho hermanos varones y estoy estudiando para la Arquidócesis del Tororo, Uganda. Nací en una famila católica. Ingresé al Seminario desde 2009 cuando me uní al seminario menor (escuela secundaria). Fuí admitido en el Seminar-io de Notre Dame en agosto del año pasado y he completado mi primer año de teología. Estaré en el seminario hasta que termine mis estudios en NDS antes de volver a mi diócesis en Uganda, donde seré ordenado sacerdote. Oren por mí y los mantendré a todos en mis oraciones. GRACIAS.

LAS OFICINAS DE LA IGLESIA ESTARÁN CERRADAS EL DÍA LUNES 24 DE MAYO EN HONOR A LOS CAÍDOS.

LAS OFICINAS REABRIRAN EL DÍA MARTES DE 25 DE MAYO, 2020

“EMPUJADOS” A LA MISIÓN Hay un personaje encantado en Las historias del Dr. Dolittle llamado “Pushmi-Pullyu” [equivalente a Mempujas-Tehalo]. Es una bestia con dos mitades idénticas, con una cabeza en cada extremo. Sea cual

fuera la dirección en que camina la bestia, un extremo “empuja” y el otro “hala”. La fiesta de hoy refleja algo parecido en la vida de la Iglesia. En el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, es la Ascensión

de Cristo la que llama al Espíritu Santo, quien a su vez envía o “empuja” a la Iglesia a realizar su misión. Tal es el mensaje que hoy oímos decir a los ángeles cuando dicen a los amigos de Jesús que no se

queden mirando hacia las nubes, sino que se pongan en acción. Es el mensaje del mismo Jesús en el Evangelio según Mateo, cuando los envía a bautizar: “yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo” (Mateo 28:20). Y es este mensaje, con fe llena de confianza en Jesús que ha ascendido con gritos de gozo, el que “nos empuja” hacia nuestro destino final. La vida del discípulo fiel, enviado al

mundo con su misión, es la que un día conocerá la misma gloria resucitada y ascendida Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

I REAVEALED YOUR NAME Transitions are not easy, and take a great deal of prepara-

tion. In the second half of today’s Gospel passage, Jesus earnestly prays for his followers, for all those who were mentioned in the reading from Acts. “They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your

word.” This bumbling band of misfits who originally said yes to Jesus’ call were ready. They started out as spiritual infants, as apprentices with entry level positions, but now they were grown. They were the management. Jesus had

taught them all he could. They were ready to take over, and to take his message to all the world. Jesus, the CEO, Jesus

the Cosmic Christ, was ready to pass the baton. It was time for this next phase of ministry to “Go live.” “They are in

the world, while I am coming to you.”

FATHER, GLORIFY YOUR SON The Gospel reading is from a beautiful prayer/message of Jesus to God the Father. Today’s passage has two distinct portions. In the first section, Jesus is summoning courage

and strength as he knows “the hour has come.” He has done everything that he can to glorify God on earth and is

saying that he is ready to return to God, to the glory he had “before the world began.” If one remembers, the Gospel of John starts with “In the beginning was the Word, and the

Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Try to imagine what mixed emotions Jesus must have had at this time. He came, he was human, he did God’s will, he

laughed, he cried, he got angry, he suffered, he had suc-cesses and he had setbacks. He had taken the plan as far as he could. Now it was time to let go. To let someone else take over. On the one hand there must be sorrow and sadness in

letting go, but he is also ready to “come home.” Think of what it is like when you have not seen a parent or family

for a long time. There is much anticipation and excitement, as well as a bit of anxiety. It is hard to fathom where Jesus may be going, and what that reality would even look like. Perhaps it may sound strange, but this author is envision-

ing a second-generation CEO who is giving a farewell speech. He is acknowledging what went before him when the company was founded, what he accomplished during his time there, and now recognizes that it is time for new energy and vision to take the company to the next level.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF

JUAN FAJARDO

PADRE GLORIFICA A TU HIJO La lectura del Evangelio es de un mensaje/oración hermosa

de Jesús a Dios Padre. El pasaje de hoy tiene dos partes distintas. En la primera parte, Jesús está pidiendo valor y

fuerza pues sabe que “la hora ya llegó”. Él ha hecho todo lo que puede para glorificar a Dios en la tierra y dice que está

listo para regresar con Dios, la gloria que él ha tenido “antes de que el mundo existiera”. Si uno recuerda, elEvan-gelio de Juan comienza con “En el comienzo era la Palabra,

y la Palabra estaba con Dios, y la Palabra era Dios”. Trata de imaginar que emociones mezcladas Jesús debió de haber tenido en ese momento. Él vino, fue humano, hizo la voluntad de Dios, rio, lloró, se enojó, sufrió, tuvo éxitos y contratiempos. Había realizado el plan tanto como pudo. Ahora era tiempo de irse. Dejar a alguien que se hiciera

cargo. Por un lado, debía de haber dolor y tristeza al dejar-lo ir, pero también él estaba listo para “regresar a casa”. Piensa en aquellas veces cuando no has visto a uno de tus padres o a un familiar por un largo tiempo. Hay mucha anticipación y emoción, también un poco de angustia. Es

difícil comprender a dónde ira Jesús, y cómo será esa reali-dad. Quizá suene extraño, pero este autor se imagina a un gerente general de segunda generación que está dando un discurso de despedida. Él reconoce lo que fue antes de él, cuando la compañía se fundó, lo que se realizó durante su

tiempo ahí, y ahora reconoce que es tiempo para una nueva energía y visión para llevar a la compañía al siguiente nivel

REVELÉ TU NOMBRE Las transiciones no son fáciles, y requieren de mucha

preparación. En la segunda parte del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús ora fervientemente por sus seguidores, por todos

aquellos que fueron mencionados en la lectura del libro de los Hechos. “Ellos te pertenecen y tú me los diste, y ellos

han guardado tu palabra”. Esta banda de inadaptados que al principio dijeron sí a la llamada de Jesús estaban ya lis-tos. Empezaron como niños espirituales, como aprendices

en trabajos de principiantes, pero ahora ya crecieron. Eran los administradores. Jesús les enseñó todo lo que pudo. Es-taban listos para tomar las riendas, y llevar su mensaje a todo el mundo. Jesús, el Gerente General, Jesús el Cristo

cósmico, estaba listo para pasar la batuta. Era la hora para que la siguiente fase del apostolado o ministerio fuera “En Vivo”. “Ellos sí van a seguir en el mundo, mientras que yo

me voy para estar contigo”.
