Meditation:
“How tremendous are your deeds, (O Lord), Alleluia!”
My brothers and sisters, we are getting closer to the
celebration of Pentecost. In just two weeks we’ll celebrate
Pentecost, and with this Feast the Easter Season comes to an end.
This Sunday’s Liturgy of the Word calls us to admire
God’s deeds. The Psalm says “Shout joyfully to God, all
the earth, sing praise to the glory of his name; proclaim
his glorious praise. Say to God, “How tremendous are
your deeds””. Truly God’s deeds are admirable. Let us
begin by reflecting upon our own lives, we are God’s masterpiece, set apart from the creation of the universe and
angels. We are precious in His eyes. How does your heart
react to these words? What do you feel when you hear, “I
am God’s masterpiece”? Do you believe you are God’s
masterpiece? If you do, you can say with confidence, I am
God’s masterpiece, and admirable deed of His hands, more precious than all of creation. God created man and woman
with the goal of sharing with us His divine life, beauty,
wisdom, will, love, mercy, everything that He is. We are a
product of His hands, and everything God makes is
precious. When you look at yourself in the mirror, shout
God’s beauty saying: I am a wonderful work of God.
The Easter Season is perfect for meditating and
admiring the deeds God has done through Christ Our Lord.
God’s beauty and our admiration for it stems from His
Love. Jesus offered up His life to ransom ours. We owed
God a debt, and Jesus paid it off with His death and resurrection. We are free and safe from the darkness of sin.
Now we are sons and daughters of Light and Truth. The
grace of the Resurrection makes us even more precious. If
we live this grace in our day to day life, it perfects us and
makes us like Christ because He is God’s work par
excellence.
When Jesus returned back to Heaven, he didn’t want to
leave us unprotected. HE asked the Father to send His
Spirit of Love to be with us and remind us everything that
Jesus had taught us. “And I will ask the Father, and he will
give you another Advocate to be with you always.” The
Advocate is the Holy Spirit, the paraclete, the consoler.
The Holy Spirit walks with us in our everyday life. He calls us to always live in Love, because love perfects us, it
makes us more compassionate, merciful, generous and
helpful. The practice of these graces fills us with love, joy,
and hope. This is the spirit of Easter as we reflect on the
effect of the Resurrection, the new life we receive through
Jesus Christ.
Living the Spirit of the Resurrection means living our
life through the power of the Holy Spirit, for He was
always present during Christ’s life. Let us remember that,
at His baptism, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus. At
the beginning of his ministry, HE proclaimed that the
Spirit of God was upon Him. This same Spirit dwells in each one of us, the baptized. He stays with us the same
way he stayed with Jesus through his life and ministry.
God the Father sent His son Jesus to the world so the work
of His hands could reclaim the beauty of His grace. What
is it that makes us precious and admirable? God’s grace
that we receive in each sacrament, starting at the sacrament
of baptism. The grace we receive through the sacraments can be compared to the lotion we apply to our face, it
makes our skin soft, luminous, and beautiful. The grace of
the Resurrection gives us the beauty of new life.
The first Christian communities teach us to reflect upon the beauty of new life by preaching that Christ is alive and
He lives in our heart. We see the example of Philip in the
first reading. The beauty of Philip’s life was in preaching
with his life and ministry that jesus was alive, and many
people received new life in the form of a miracle or
freedom from unclean spirits in Jesus’ name. “the crowds
paid attention to what was said by Philip when they heard
it and saw the signs he was doing.” This all brought great
joy to the community. The deeds that Philip was able to perform were thanks to the action and power of the Holy
Spirit in his life. We could ask ourselves, how is Philip
different from us today in the preaching of the Word and
the miracles he performed in the name of Jesus Christ? Our
faith in God. Do we genuinely believe in God, in His
power? Nowadays we sometimes place our trust in things that are not God. Modern technology attacks our
intelligence and will and makes us prone to darkness rather
that to the light of Truth.
Let us always remember that the deeds of the Lord are
admirable. We began this meditation analyzing our life, realizing that we are a wonderful work of God. When we
meditate upon the Word of God, we find God’s beauty and
we see ourselves enveloped in that divine beauty. The
work of the Resurrection is the Father’s work par
excellence by which He blesses us with new life, hope and
joy. Alleluia!

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION CELEBRATIONS It is with great sadness and with much prayer, that the decision to postpone our celebrations of First Holy Communion has been made:
1. The First Holy Communions that were scheduled for April 25 and May 2 have been cancelled.
2. The rehearsals/parent meeting set for April 21 and April 28 have been cancelled as well.
At this time, new dates have NOT been set for the celebrations, but we are looking at dates later in the summer. Once we do set the dates, you will receive a letter from the parish letting you know the day and time of the new rehearsal and the new celebration. If you are planning to move out of the area before August 1, please let me know and I can create a letter for you to give to your new parish so that your child may make their First Holy Communion there. Please know we are looking at dates and as soon as possible we will let you know. Thank you for understanding and I share in your disappointment. For questions in English: Stephanie at [email protected] For questions in Spanish: Eduardo at [email protected]

PRIMERAS COMUNIONES
Es con gran tristeza y con mucha oración, que se tomó la decisión de posponer nuestras celebraciones de las Primeras Comuniones:

2. Los ensayos/reuniones de padres fijados para el 21 de abril y el 28 de abril también han sido cancelados.
En este momento, NO se han fijado nuevas fechas para las celebraciones, pero estamos viendo fechas más tarde en el verano. Una vez que fijemos las fechas, recibirán un aviso de parte la parroquia informándoles el día y la hora del nuevo ensayo y la nueva celebración. Si usted está planeando mudarse de la zona antes del 1 de agosto, por favor hágamelo saber y puedo crear una carta para que usted entregue a su nueva parroquia para que su hijo pueda hacer su Primera Comunión allí. Por favor, sepa que estamos viendo las fechas y tan pronto como sea posible se lo haremos saber. Gracias por entender y comparto su sentimiento de decepción.

We entrust all of God’s family, especially the church in Western Washington, into your immaculate hands. With your son Jesus’ gentle power you can undo any knot in our church, and in the lives of believers who entrust themselves to your care.
Today I especially entrust to you [mention request / Coronavirus here], and I ask that—through your intercession, and that of St. James, our guardian angels, and the faithful in our archdiocese—we may be free from every spiritual and temporal ill, and be safely led to encounter your son’s merciful, sacred heart.

D e l e s c r i t o r i o d e l P . J o s é
Meditación:
“Las obras del Señor son admirables, aleluya”
Mis hermanos y hermanas nos acercamos a la celebración de Pentecostés. En dos domingos celebraremos Pentecostés y con esta fiesta concluimos el tiempo de Pascua.
La liturgia de la Palabra de este domingo nos invita a admirar las obras del Señor. Dice el salmo, “Que aclame al Señor toda la tierra. Celebremos su gloria y su poder, cantemos un himno de alabanza, digamos al Señor: Tu obra es admirable.” En verdad las obras del Señor son admirables. Podemos comenzar a meditar en nuestra vida; somos la obra maestra de Dios, aparte de la creación del universo y de los ángeles. Somos preciosos-as a sus ojos. ¿Qué suscitan estas palabras en tu corazón? ¿Qué sientes al escuchar: “soy obra maestra de Dios”? ¿Crees que eres una obra maestra de Dios? Si lo crees, puedes decir, soy una obra maestra y admirable de Dios, más preciosa que la creación entera. Dios ha creado al hombre y a la mujer con el fin de compartir con nosotros su vida divina, su belleza, su inteligencia, su voluntad, su amor, su misericordia, con todo lo que Él es. Somos hechura de sus manos, y todo lo que Dios hace es precioso. Cuando te veas en el espejo, proclama la belleza de Dios, diciendo: soy obra maravillosa de Dios.
El tiempo de Pascua es ideal para meditar y admirar las obras que Dios ha realizado a través de Cristo nuestro Señor. El elemento de la belleza y admiración de Dios es su Amor. Por amor, Jesús ofreció su vida en rescate de la nuestra. Teníamos una deuda con Dios y Jesús la ha pagado con su Muerte y Resurrección. Somos libres y salvos de la oscuridad del pecado. Ahora somos hijos e hijas de la Luz y de la Verdad. La gracia de la Resurrección nos hace todavía más preciosos. Si la vivimos todos los días, nos perfecciona y nos hace semejantes a Cristo porque Él es la obra de Dios por excelencia.
Jesús al regresar al cielo no quiso dejarnos desamparados. Pidió al Padre que enviara su Espíritu de Amor para que nos acompañara y nos recordara todo lo que Jesús nos enseñó. “Rogaré al Padre y Él les dará otro Paráclito para que esté con ustedes siempre”. El Paráclito es el Espíritu Santo, el abogado, el consolador. El Espíritu Santo nos acompaña en nuestro diario vivir. Él nos invita a vivirnos siempre en el Amor porque el amor nos perfecciona, nos hace ser más compasivos, misericordiosos, generosos y serviciales. El ejercicio de estas gracias nos llena de vida, de alegría, de esperanza. Este es el espíritu de la Pascua al meditar la obra de la Resurrección, la nueva vida que recibimos en Cristo Jesús.
Vivir el Espíritu de la Resurrección es vivir nuestra vida en el poder del Espíritu Santo, ya que Él estuvo siempre presente en la vida de Cristo. Recordemos que, al ser bautizado, el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre Jesús. Después al inicio de su ministerio, proclamó que el Espíritu de Dios estaba sobre Él. Este mismo Espíritu habita en cada uno de nosotros, los bautizados. Nos acompaña como acompañó a Jesús en su vida y ministerio. Dios Padre envió al mundo a su Hijo Jesús para que la obra de sus manos recuperara la belleza de su gracia. ¿Qué nos hace preciosos y admirables? La gracia de Dios que recibimos en cada sacramento, comenzando por el sacramento del bautismo. La gracia que nos llega por los sacramentos es como la crema que nos ponemos en la cara, que suaviza la piel, la embellece, la hace tierna y lucida. La gracia de la Resurrección nos da la belleza de la nueva vida.
La primera comunidad cristiana nos enseña a meditar en la belleza de la nueva vida, es decir, proclamar que Cristo está vivo y vive en nuestro corazón como lo manifestaron los primeros cristianos. Tenemos el ejemplo de Felipe en la primera lectura. La belleza de Felipe fue proclamar con su vida y ministerio que Jesús estaba vivo y en su nombre muchos recibían la nueva vida a través de un milagro o liberación de espíritus inmundos. “La multitud escuchaba con atención lo que decía Felipe, porque habían oído hablar de los milagros que hacía y los estaban viendo”. Todo esto despertó gran alegría en esa comunidad. Las obras que realizaba Felipe eran por la acción y el poder del Espíritu Santo en su vida. Nos podríamos preguntar: ¿Qué hace diferente a Felipe de nosotros hoy en día con respecto a la proclamación de la Palabra y los milagros que realizaba en nombre de Cristo Jesús? Nuestra fe en Dios. ¿Realmente creemos en Dios, en su poder? Hoy en día ponemos nuestra fe en otras cosas que no son Dios. El mundo de la tecnología bombardea la inteligencia y la voluntad del hombre que no hace inmune a la oscuridad y no a la luz de la Verdad.
Recordemos siempre que las obras del Señor son admirables. Comenzamos esta meditación pensando en nuestra vida, que somos una obra maravillosa de Dios. Meditar la Palabra de Dios nos lleva a encontrar la belleza de Dios y vernos sumergido en esa belleza divina. La obra de la Resurrección es la obra por excelencia del Padre que nos bendice con nueva vida, esperanza y alegría. Aleluya.

A WAITING HARVEST Vocation Awareness
Signs of a Vocation to Priesthood
and Characteristics of a Good Candidate
O Jesus, Our Eternal Pastor, Deign to look with merciful eyes Upon this part of your loving flock.
Lord, we need a large number of priests, and men and women consecrated to the religious life. Multiply vocations, And sanctify more and more our priests, And those consecrated in the religious life.
We ask you all this through the Immaculate Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, your sweet and holy Mother.
Jesus give us priests according to your heart.
Jesus, savior of all people, save them, save them!
For information on becoming a Religious Priest Missionary of the Holy Spirit or a Diocesan Priest contact one of the following people: Serra Club: Arthur Adams
Priests: Fr. Jose Ugalde, M.Sp.S. Fr. Jesus Sanchez, M.Sp.S.
12. A good candidate for diocesan priesthood should be joyful and have a good sense of humor. Part I .
Dealing with fallen human nature (our own and others’) can be frustrating at times, so a priest must have a sense of humor. He needs to be able to laugh at himself and to be joyful in the Good News of Jesus Christ, even as he is dealing with the sad realities of sin and death. The human personality of the priest is very important because it is the bridge to Christ. Priests who never laugh and smile are not attractive to people and they are often deemed unapproachable. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “I might have become a clergyman had not so many clergymen I knew looked and acted so much like undertakers.”
I read once that the average adult laughs approximately seventeen times per day, but the average child laughs over two hundred times per day. I feel sure that this is at least one of reasons why our Lord Jesus exorted us to become like little children in order to enter the kingdom of God. As a vocation director, I often said, “In the job description for priests, joy is required.” Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta writes in the
Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity: “Joy is a net of love by which we can catch souls for God.”
We call the Gospel the Good News of Jesus Christ. A priest should act as if the news he proclaims truly is good! He is a messenger of the best news that the world has ever known:
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life, John 3:16.
In my role as vice rector of a seminary, sometimes it is necessary to call a man into my office for a chat. If a man is extremely intense, never smiles or laughs, and walks around in his own tightly-wound world, rarely looking up and meeting the eyes of those around him, I will call this man in and say, “As vice rector, I have some very important and sophisticated theological advice for you.” “Yes, father, what is it?” I say, “Chill out! And do it now!”
From the Book
“To Save a Thousand Souls” Fr. Brett A. Brannen
This week please pray for Br. Jesus Romo, M.Sp.S.
He is a Brother in formation with the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit. Originally from
Kent, WA, he is taking Theology I classes at the Oblate
School of Theology in San Antonio, TX
Sixth Sunday of Easter, 05/17/2020 | SETON Sunday News | 9
As we all know, the “social distancing” practices and suspension of gathering for Mass have created unique challenges to the way we practice our faith.
Nothing is more important than all of us taking the necessary steps to protect and ensure the health and well-being of our families, friends, neighbors, as well as our parish.
Although we are physically separated from the Eucharist---our church is alive and still on mission.
This year our parish share of the Appeal is $151,672. If we exceed this goal, all excess payments received will come back to us and we will put that towards recovery of lost offertory donations.
In addition, this year 10% of all the funds collected through the ACA (excluding our rebate) will be placed into a special Parish Solidarity Fund at the Archdiocese.
In this way, your donations will help us, but will also help other parishes recover.
The reality is that many of your fellow parishioners may not be able to participate this year, so your support is more important than ever.
Be assured of my gratitude for your gift –whatever the amount— and of my continuing prayers for you and your loved ones!
Fr. Jose Ugalde MSpS
