By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. John 15:8

From Our Pastor, Fr. Fausto ... My Dear Friends,

In today’s Gospel, the life of Jesus (the “Amazing Grace”) is the vital lymph running from the vine to the last minuscule branch and leaves, giving them sustenance and life; Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. When we (branches) are cut off from Jesus (vine) through mortal sin, we die! We’ll come back to life when the branch is grafted back to the vine, and the sooner the better. The more conscious we become of our branching into Jesus, the more observant we become of Jesus’ inspirations and commandments in our daily thoughts and actions. Consequently, the more saintly our lives will become, and we will be more effective as recruiters of others toward Jesus, our light.

Sometimes we, Jesus’ followers, joyfully get together on Sundays to achieve our close encounter with Jesus. But then we find so much difficulty in radiating and sharing the powerful inner presence of Jesus with people around us throughout the week. The cares and stress of our daily life make us forget such closeness with Jesus, but still all of us Catholics bring with us a special presence of the Trinity: we are bearers of God’s light, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

This weekend we will have the annual collection for the Catholic Home Missions. There are 88 home mission dioceses in the United States. These dioceses are unable to fund basic and essential pastoral works such as catechesis, seminary formation, and lay leadership training, and are unable to attend to the unique needs of the communities they serve. With your support, the Catholic Home Missions Appeal helps to ease the struggle and form vibrant faith communities. Please help strengthen the Church at home. Be generous in this appeal.

Thank You dear parishioners for your generous response to the 2018 Catholic Faith Appeal. Our goal this year is $340,000, and we need your help. As of now, only 14% of registered families in our parish have pledged or given a one-time gift. All your donations, big and small, help St. Martha meet, and maybe exceed, this number. We need to pray for the continued success of this campaign. Your gift to the Catholic Faith Appeal supports the Peace and Social Justice Office, which coordinates parishioners from throughout the Diocese to advocate for peace and social justice. Some of their activities include: advocating for fair wages and protecting our fragile environment. Thank you again for your generosity!

This Tuesday is the beginning of the most beautiful month of the year, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us honor her memory with a daily sacr ifice to practice self-control and to follow Jesus more closely. The ancient friars used to say “Ad Jesum per Mariam,” - let us reach Jesus with the help of Mary - whose statue will remain in the sanctuary throughout the month, reminding us to pay homage to her with a daily rosary. In my Catholic school, when I was young, all of us pupils had to write little notes with our daily sacrifices and put the notes in a box. Then these notes were burned in front of the statue of Mary at the end of the month, to signify that now all those prayers and sacrifices went up to

heaven and were written in the Book of Life. Let us make our month of May truly special, not letting a day pass without a special homage to Our Mother in Heaven, and to her Son Jesus; the Rosary is a favorite prayer.

Our beloved Pope Francis has written an Apostolic Exhortation: “Gaudete et Exsultate” (Exult and Rejoice). The following are some excerpts: • In the church, holy yet made up of sinners, you will find

everything you need to grow toward holiness. The Lord has bestowed on the church the gifts of Scripture, the sacraments, holy places, living communities, the witness of the saints and a multifaceted beauty that proceeds from God’s love.

• You too need to see the entirety of your life as a mission. Try to do so by listening to God in prayer and recognizing the signs that he gives you. Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision you must make so as to discern its place in the mission you have received.

• It is not healthy to love silence while fleeing interaction with others, to want peace and quiet while avoiding activity, to seek prayer while disdaining service. Everything can be accepted and integrated into our life in this world and become a part of our path to holiness.

• The presence of constantly new gadgets, the excitement of travel and an endless array of consumer goods at times leave no room for God’s voice to be heard. We are overwhelmed by words, by superficial pleasures and by an increasing din, filled not by joy but rather by the discontent of those whose lives have lost meaning.

• Holiness does not make you less human, since it is an encounter between your weakness and the power of God’s grace.

• When somebody has an answer for every question, it is a sign that they are not on the right road. They may well be false prophets who use religion for their own purposes, to promote their own psychological or intellectual theories.

• Nor can we claim to say where God is not, because God is mysteriously present in the life of every person in a way that he himself chooses, and we cannot exclude this by our presumed certainties. Even when someone’s life appears completely wrecked, even when we see it devastated by vices or addictions, God is present there.

• It is not easy to grasp the truth that we have received from the Lord. And it is even more difficult to express it. So we cannot claim that our way of understanding this truth authorizes us to exercise a strict supervision over others’ lives.

• In the church there legitimately coexist different ways of interpreting many aspects of doctrine and Christian life; in their variety, they “help to express more clearly the immense riches of God’s word.”

• When some of them tell the weak that all things can be accomplished with God’s grace, deep down they tend to give the idea that all things are possible by the human will, as if it were something pure, perfect, all-powerful, to which grace is then added.

• Not infrequently, contrary to the promptings of the Spirit, the life of the church can become a museum

piece or the possession of a select few. This can occur when some groups of Christians give excessive importance to certain rules, customs or ways of acting. The Gospel then tends to be reduced and constricted, deprived of its simplicity, allure and savor.

• The beatitudes are like a Christian’s identity card. So if anyone asks, “What must one do to be a good Christian?” the answer is clear. We have to do, each in our own way, what Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount.

• Our defense of the innocent unborn, for example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate, for at stake is the dignity of a human life, which is always sacred and demands love for each person regardless of his or her stage of development. Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery and every form of rejection.

• Christians too can be caught up in networks of verbal violence through the internet and the various forums of digital communication. Even in Catholic media, limits can be overstepped, defamation and slander can become commonplace, and all ethical standards and respect for the good name of others can be abandoned.

• Let us acknowledge our weakness but allow Jesus to lay hold of it and send us too on mission. We are weak, yet we hold a treasure that can enlarge us and make those who receive it better and happier. Boldness and apostolic courage are an essential part of mission.

• Like the prophet Jonah, we are constantly tempted to flee to a safe haven. It can have many names: individualism, spiritualism, living in a little world, addiction, intransigence, the rejection of new ideas and approaches, dogmatism, nostalgia, pessimism, hiding behind rules and regulations.

• So if we dare to go to the fringes, we will find him there; indeed, he is already there. Jesus is already there in the hearts of our brothers and sisters, in their wounded flesh, in their troubles and in their profound desolation. He is already there.

• We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea. This mistake would lead us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable. The devil does not need to possess us. He poisons us with the venom of hatred, desolation, envy and vice. When we let down our guard, he takes advantage of it to destroy our lives, our families and our communities.

• Those who think they commit no grievous sins against God’s law can fall into a state of dull lethargy. Since they see nothing serious to reproach themselves with, they fail to realize that their spiritual life has gradually turned lukewarm. They end up weakened and corrupted.

• Discernment, then, is not a solipsistic self-analysis or a form of egotistical introspection but an authentic process of leaving ourselves behind in order to approach the mystery of God, who helps us carry out the mission to which he has called us for the good of our brothers and sisters.

Next Sunday we will have our wonderful volunteers at the doors of the Church collecting for Caritas. Last month they collected $4,400 at our church doors. Please be generous to our needy people here in Sarasota.

We would like to congratulate all those who made their Confirmation on April 19:

SHARE THE JOURNEY PART 2

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Now, Pope Francis is calling us to share a journey with our neighbors – all our neighbors, not only those who live

near us, look like us, speak like us or pray like us. Our neighbors include many of the world’s most vulnerable people: migrants and refugees fleeing war, poverty and persecution, people who seek nothing more than basic needs and a path forward. Just like us, they are children of God, deserving of dignity and love. We as a church are answering the Pope’s call to encounter and walk with these migrants and refugees in support and solidarity. How Do Refugees Contribute?

1. Refugees must pay back the cost of their travel to America through a loan arrangement with the International Organization for Migration, a U.S. Department of State contractor. Flight costs range from $1,500-$9,000. The U.S. is the only resettlement country that requires refugees to pay for their transportation. Source: MRS

2. The MRS resettlement agency network of over 80 affiliates hire employment specialists to prepare refugees for the job market. Eighty five percent of refugees get a job and are self-sufficient within six months of arrival. Source: MRS Refugee Research Blog

3. Refugees find work far earlier in the U.S. than in other countries and start businesses at a quicker pace than the U.S.-born population. Sources: Chmura Economics & Analytics; MPI

Quinto Domingo de Pascua 29 de abril de 2018 No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras. - 1 Juan 3:18

SARMIENTOS VIVOS El Evangelio y la segunda lectura para este Quinto Domingo de Pascua hacen hincapié en la necesidad de que permanezcamos en Cristo y él permanecerá en nosotros. Esta vida compartida está representada en la imagen de la vid que tiene muchos sarmientos. Nos convertimos en sarmientos vivos de la vid, en miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo por el Bautismo, la Eucaristía y la Confirmación, por los sacramentos que nos hacen compartir la vida de Dios. La primera carta del apóstol san Juan describe el fruto de esta vid como el amor activo al prójimo: “Y este es su mandamiento: que creamos . . . y que nos amemos unos a otros” (1 Juan 3:23). En la primera lectura de los Hechos contamos con un ejemplo de una persona que participa de la vida de Cristo en la persona de san Pablo. El audaz testimonio de Pablo, incluso a riesgo de perder su propia vida, es prueba para todos de que el Espíritu del Señor resucitado verdaderamente lo llena de vida y da fruto en él. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
