For the past six weeks, we have walked with the risen Lord, and next week we will celebrate his Ascension into heaven. Jesus’ Ascension obviously marked the end of his earthly life. However, we never walk alone. Jesus continues to be present to us in all times and all places by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus also is present to us through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Jesus gives us the gift of himself – body, blood, soul and divinity – that we might grow in faith and holiness of life. This is the 2nd week that some of our children will receive their 1st Communion for the first time ever. What a touching moment to see a child receiving our Lord into their hearts! I would like to congratulate our first Communicants on this occasion and also their parents for their support. Thank you to all the Catechists who prepared the children for such beautiful celebration! Back to our reflection, it is easy to understand why the disciples didn’t want Jesus to leave them. They were afraid, and they had had no idea what they would do next. But Jesus told them, “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid”. It was time for him to return to the Father. He assured them, “The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything”. They would never walk alone. A few days later, he ascended in their sight. For the next nine days they prayed, and on the feast of Pentecost, their prayers were answered. The Holy Spirit descended upon them with tongues of fire. Filled with the same Spirit, they went out and preached the good news of Christ’s resurrection. In that moment, a confused gathering of ordinary, faithful Jews – who had little if any formal education – became the Church. And the world was never the same. Contact the Parish office to arrange for baptismal preparation. Baptisms are celebrated monthly except during Lent. Spanish Prep Class: 1st Mon at 7 pm; Baptism: 3rd Sat at 10 am English Prep Class: 2nd Mon at 7 pm; Baptism: 4th Sat at 10 am Weddings Arrangements need to be made at least six months in advance. Call the Parish office. Rosary The Rosary is recited daily after the 8 am Mass and before the 5:30 pm Mass on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Hispanic Community has a Rosary Hour every Monday at 6 pm in the Rectory Chapel. Welcome We welcome visitors and newcomers to St. Clare Parish. We encourage new parishioners to register as parish members and become active in our parish community. Registration forms are available at the Parish Office and in the Church vestibule. You may also fill out the form below. bringing billions of people to the light of Christ. This is the most amazing accomplishment in human history, and it began with a few courageous people who took the risk and followed Jesus. It continues today. The Spirit is among us and goes forth with us. How does Jesus respond? He loves us, and he never abandons us. We are each “the beloved disciple” in his eyes, and he fills us with the grace of the Holy Spirit. A little more than seven weeks ago, many Catholics around the world prayed for nine days, from Good Friday until Divine Mercy Sunday. This novena is a recent practice, a gift from our Lord to Saint Faustina Kowalska that was highly commended by Saint John Paul II. But the practice of nine days of prayer dates back to the birth of the Church, when the Apostles prayed for the Holy Spirit to come to them as Jesus promised. I commend this novena to you today. Beginning this Friday, pray each day for the Holy Spirit who dwells in the Church to fill you with graces so that you may have the courage to become the witness and proclaim the Gospel. Filled with this grace, the Church has gone around the world, Fr. Tad We are the Church – quite likely as average as the first disciples of Jesus, and, without him, every bit as confused. We, at times, deny him as Peter did. We, at times, doubt him as Thomas did. We, at times, might wish him to rain fire on our enemies, as James and John did. We, at times, panic at the first sign of trouble, as all the Apostles did. A WARM WELCOME TO ALL WHO WORSHIP WITH US Whether you are a parishioner of long standing or new to the parish, if you are not registered, we invite you to do so as soon as possible. If there are changes to your status, please let us know. Please fill in the details below and place in the offertory basket or mail to the Parish Office.

Read between the lines describing the radiant city, and we find that the greatest beauty revealed is the beauty of perfect symmetry and order, a city founded on the faith of the twelve tribes of Israel and the Twelve Apostles, lit only by the glory of God. The first reading and the Gospel are linked to this idealized descrip on of the New Jerusalem. In both we read of distress and disturbance countered by the gi of peace. “[M]y peace I give to you,” Jesus assures his disciples at the Last Supper (John 14:27). In keeping with that gi , the apostles and elders, in the reading from Acts, decide not to disturb the peace of new Gen le believers. The undue burden of circumcision will not be imposed on them.

Aleluia! Assim se inicia a missa de hoje na Antífona de Entrada. No Evangelho de hoje é o próprio Jesus que diz-nos: “Se Me amasseis, ficarieis contentes por Eu ir para o Pai, porque o Pai é maior do que Eu.” Nas duas frases a alegria é mencionada como uma forma de vida de cada cristão. Jesus através do Pai revela-nos que a Sua Palavra deve ser proclamada com alegria. Viver condicionados pelo desespero, tristeza, solidão, zanga e ódio; é não estar em condições de Evangelizar; porque para proclamar a Boa Nova do Evangelho não é necessário gritar mas viver adentro dos nossos esforços em sintonia com a vontade de Deus. É assumindo e acreditando que Deus nos quer felizes e a alegria que Jesus nos fala “grita bem alto” segundo o nosso modo de viver. Querer o bem ao ourto, não virando as costas aos que necessitam da vossa ajuda, respeitando os usos e costumes daqueles que não são como nós, entregar-se de todo na vivencia dos sacramentos e da família; tudo isso fala mais alto do que as palavras que possam sair da garganta. Mais ainda nos afirma Jesus sobre a alegria é a Sua afirmação de que o Pai nos enviará o Seu Espírito Santo o Paráclito pelo qual este mesmo Espírito nos assitará a viver adentro desse estado de alegria e de confiança de sermos filhos de Deus e predestinados a sermos herdeiros do Reino. O amor de Deus manifesta-se em grande pelo modo que Ele nos ama, pelo modo alegre que nos quer e o Seu Espírito de Alegria está connosco. Quem ama alegremente está em paz e estar em paz é tal e qual como Jesus nos diz no Evangelho de hoje: “Deixovos a paz, dou-vos aminha paz” A paz de Jesus não é como a paz fictícia que o mundo nos oferece mas a paz que nos dá a alegria de sermos cristãos filhos de Deus e por Ele amados com alegria. Festival Anual de Saint Clare’s Este ano a nossa paroquia irá celebrar o seu festival anual no fim de semana de 13-15 de Abril próximo. As missas das 9, 10:30 e 12 horas serão suprimidas para dar lugar a uma só missa ás 11:00 hoas da manhã. Também nesta missa e pela primeira vez se fará a coroação á família do Mordomo pois que neste dia é também a Festa do Pentecostes. É do interesse de toda a nossa comunidade participar neste festival adentro do possivel. Neste festival havera comidas de vários paises como nos anos anteriores no Sábado á tarde. Façam o possível de marcar presença neste festival pelo qual of fundos angariados no mesmo servem para a manutenção da nossa paróquia e da nossa Escola. Grupo Coral Português Hoje o nosso grupo coral esta a ajudar a dignificar a festa do Senhor Santo Cristo do South San Francisco. Para o efeito e com a ajuda da Madalena Dias e Teresa Neves participem o quanto possivel na animacao da musica na nossa missa. Um Santo e Alegre Domingo para todos!! Boletín Parroquial Español El Don de la Paz Se nos ofrece una visión distinta en la segunda lectura de hoy, una visión de la Nueva Jerusalén, “que descendía del cielo, resplandeciente con la gloria de Dios” (Apocalipsis 21:10). Si buscamos el significado detrás de la descripción de la radiante ciudad, vemos que la belleza mayor que se revela es la belleza de una perfecta armonía y orden, una ciudad fundada en la fe de las doce tribus de Israel y los doce Apóstoles, alumbrada únicamente por la gloria de Dios. La primera lectura y el Evangelio también van conectados a esta descripción idealizada de la Nueva Jerusalén. En ambos leemos como la angustia y los altercados se contrarrestan con el don de la paz. “Mi paz les doy”, les asegura Jesús a sus discípulos en la Última Cena (Juan 14:27). De acuerdo con ese don, los apóstoles y presbíteros, en la lectura de los Hechos, deciden no alterar la paz de los nuevos creyentes gentiles. No han de imponerles la excesiva carga de la circuncisión. — Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. El Festival ya está aquí.
