OLG public Mass re-opening guidelines
1. During the time of the Corona virus pandemic, Archbishop Naumann has given Catholics in the Archdiocese a dispensation from attending in person public Mass. OLG will continue to live stream daily Mass from Tuesday—Friday 6:30 pm Spanish Mass & 7:30 pm English Mass. Sunday Mass live stream 9:00 am English & 11:00 am Spanish beginning on June 7th. 2. Anyone feeling uncomfortable coming back to public Mass knowing the risks involved should stay home, especially those in high risk groups such as people with serious underlying medical conditions & the elderly. 3. Those consciously choosing to take the risk to attend public Mass must wear a mask and bring their personal hand sanitizer and a towel to cover the upper part of the pew in front of you that you will touch during Mass. 4. During consecration time, all people will stand up, or be seated if unable to stand up for long, so that you avoid touching the kneelers. 5. A six feet social distance must be kept from other people. Only those living in the same household can sit together in proximity. 6. Mass cannot last more than 45 minutes as directed by Archbishop Naumann. There will be no congregational singing, only an accompanist & a cantor. 7. People cannot congregate socializing before or after Mass per Archdiocese and CDC guidelines. Please go home immediately after Mass. The Church will be sanitized after mass to be ready for the next group. 8. Holy Communion will be given only in the hand. 9. OLG can only safely accommodate 48 people seated in the pews using every 3rd pew keeping the 6 foot distance in between people to comply with Archdiocesan & CDC guidelines. 10. Access to the church will be only through the main front entrance.

LOS PADRES DE LA IGLESIA Para esta semana quiero compartir con ustedes un her-moso escrito de uno de los Padres la Iglesia. En un pro -ximo artí culo compartiremos a quie nes hacemos refe-rencia con ese tí tulo. Bendiciones para todos y feliz se-mana: La nueva ley de nuestro Señor De la carta llamada de Bernabé
(Caps. 2, 6-10; 3,1. 3; 4,10-14)
“ ...Y, ya que no somos insensatos, debemos comprender el designio de bondad de nuestro Padre. E l nos habla para que no caigamos en el mismo error que ellos, cuan-do buscamos el camino para acercarnos a e l. Por esta razo n, nos dice: Sacrificio para el Señor es un espíritu quebrantado, olor de suavidad para el Señor es un cora-zón que glorifica al que lo ha plasmado. Por tanto, her-manos, debemos preocuparnos con todo cuidado de nuestra salvacio n, para que el Maligno seductor no se introduzca furtivamente entre nosotros y, por el error, nos arroje, como una honda a la piedra, lejos de lo que es nuestra vida.
Acerca de esto afirma en otro lugar: ¿Para qué ayu-
náis -dice el Señor-, haciendo oír hoy en el cielo vuestras
voces? No es ése el ayuno que yo deseo -dice el Señor-, sino
al hombre que humilla su alma. A nosotros, en cambio,
nos dice: El ayuno que yo quiero es éste -oráculo del Se-
ñor-: abrir las prisiones injustas, hacer saltar los cerrojos
de los cepos. dejar libres a los oprimidos. romper todos los
cepos; partir tu pan con el hambriento, vestir al que ves
desnudo, hospedar a los pobres sin techo.
Huyamos de toda vanidad, odiemos profundamente
las obras del mal camino; no viva is aislados, replegados
en vosotros mismos, como si ya estuvierais justificados,
sino reuní os para encontrar todos juntos lo que a todos
conviene. Pues la Escritura afirma: ¡Ay de los que se tie-
nen por sabios y se creen perspicaces! Haga monos hom-
bres espirituales, seamos un templo perfecto para Dios.
En cuanto este de nuestra parte, meditemos el temor de
Dios y esforce monos por guardar sus mandamientos, a
fin de alegrarnos en sus justificaciones. El Señor juzgará
al mundo sin parcialidad. Cada uno recibira segu n sus
obras; el bueno sera precedido de su justicia, el malo
tendra ante sí el salario de su iniquidad. No nos abando-
nemos al descanso, bajo el pretexto de que hemos sido
llamados, no vaya a suceder que nos durmamos en
nuestros pecados y el Prí ncipe de la maldad consiga po-
der sobre nosotros y nos arroje lejos del reino del Sen or. Adema s, hermanos, debemos considerar tambie n este hecho: si, despue s de tantos signos y prodigios como fueron realizados en Israel, los veis ahora abandonados, estemos vigilantes para que no nos suceda a nosotros tambie n lo que afirma la Escritura: Muchos son los lla-mados y pocos los elegidos”. -Fr. Ro mulo
CONFESIONES:
El Sacramento de la Confesio n se celebrara todos los Miércoles de 7 a 8 p.m. en el gimnasio del

Aquellas persoñas que concienzudamente escojan tomar el riesgo de asistir a una Misa en el templo debe de usar un tapa boca y traer su propio alcohol en gel para sus manos al igual que una toalla para cubrir la parte frontal de la banca que puede tocara durante la Misa. 3. Las persoñas ño se coñgregarañ a socializar antes o despue s de la Misa, segu n lo que ordeno el Arzobispo y el guí a de CDC (Centro de Control de Enfermedades Nacional). Esto quiere decir que por favor las personas regresen a sus casas inmediatamente despue s de Misa. La Iglesia sera desinfectada despue s de la Misa para que este lista para recibir al siguiente grupo de feligreses. 4. La Iglesia puede acomodar u ñicameñte a 48 persoñas a la vez, sentadas en las bancas, que estara n separadas por seis pies de distancia y sen aladas por medio de cintas de control, para así seguir las reglas de la Archidio cesis y el CDC. 5.

PARISH NEWS PARISH NEWS GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE
We are hardwired for wholeness and crave it. When something is broken, we want it fixed. If a part of our body is not working properly, we want it healed. How often do we find ourselves saying, “I’m tired of strug-gling with this cold, I can’t wait for my surgery to heal, or I want my treatments to make me better.” Wholeness and healing restore our relationships and make us free to love as we desire. We know very well how our limita-tions, imperfections, and brokenness really limit us. They can easily prevent us from being and doing what we want to do.
Our physical and emotional wounds and maladies are easier to identify. If my back hurts, I feel it and know what part of my body needs attention. If I am feeling in-tense anger, I can identify the emotion and take neces-sary steps to uncover its cause. Being persistent often brings greater and quicker results. But will pursuing and even achieving our physical and emotional healings real-ly be enough? We forget that there is a deeper healing that we seek and desperately need. As we look around at humanity, there are some physical and emotional wounds and scars that cannot be made whole. They are limitations that must remain and, for one reason or an-other, cannot be rectified. Does this mean that the wholeness and healing that my being longs for is not possible for me? Must I settle with less than what God promises?
The answer is no. Ultimately, there is a desire that goes deeper than the physical and emotional. It is a desire that resides in our soul. What we really seek and thirst for is healing and wholeness for our soul. Inner strength, conviction, focus, grounding, love, hope, faith, courage, determination, peace, and connectedness are all words that center us on eternity. They direct us to a presence we discover in our core, which is none other than the presence of God. In God, we are healed. When we are persistent in reaching out to and establishing our rela-tionship with God, real healing and wholeness begin to happen.
There are some limitations and some of our brokenness with which we may simply have to live. This does not mean that we have to abandon our journey to wholeness and healing. If we have done our inner soul work, we have worked toward and acquired what and who we ultimately need and desire.
