A Spiritual Testament<br />
Today’s Gospel might be referred to as the “Last Will and Testament <strong>of</strong> Jesus.”<br />
The passage contains five things Jesus speaks <strong>of</strong>:<br />
1. The Holy Spirit will teach us a deeper truth <strong>of</strong> God. The Holy Spirit will keep us right when<br />
unbidden danger flashes into our minds.<br />
2. Jesus <strong>of</strong>fers us the gift <strong>of</strong> Peace which never by itself means the absence <strong>of</strong> trouble but rather<br />
he <strong>of</strong>fers us a peace that comes from a shared life with Jesus.<br />
3. He speaks <strong>of</strong> his Destination. I will go back to the Father – freed from the limitations <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />
If you really love me, you will be glad for me.<br />
4. Jesus speaks <strong>of</strong> his <strong>St</strong>ruggle. The cross was his last battle with the power <strong>of</strong> evil.<br />
5. He speaks <strong>of</strong> His Vindication. The cross was seen as his humiliation and shame but time proved<br />
obedience to God, and his love for all in his life found their highest expression in the cross.<br />
Bringing the Message Home<br />
Jesus speaks not only to his disciples 2,000 years ago, but he also speaks to us. We carry in our person the same worries as<br />
those <strong>of</strong> the past. Will we find love - a job - purpose in life - a healthy life - and the fear that accompanies most <strong>of</strong> these worries.<br />
Jesus <strong>of</strong>fers us the Spiritual Testament <strong>of</strong> his life – tells us not to fear – gives us his peace and the Holy Spirit to enlighten us.<br />
What a loving gift – open your heart and receive what God <strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
May God Bless You<br />

YOUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN BOCA RATON
SUN-DAYS/ STORM-DAYS APPEAL!<br />
Torrid days and torrential storms lie ahead. And as the temperature climbs,<br />
our Offertory Collections decline due to vacations and part-time parishioners.<br />
Here’s the deal on our appeal. We need to keep our AC running, our electric<br />
bills paid, our hurricane protection up-graded, and our Food Pantry full. So,<br />
we thank the faithful in advance for an extra dollar or two per week to get<br />
us through spring and summer. That’s the price <strong>of</strong> a six pack, or the<br />
savings on a back to school sale. Or if you can<br />
make it more: a few dollars saved from a<br />
Memorial Day weekend sale. And because<br />
hardship never goes on vacation, the good stewards<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong> <strong>Joan</strong> are also keeping the Food Pantry stocked,<br />
and helping to pay AC bills for our out -<strong>of</strong> -funds<br />
families. If everybody does a little, that adds up<br />
to a lot. So, for this Sun-Day and every Sun-Day<br />
giving is a cool thing to do. Thank You!<br />
- Brother Seward<br />
God bless!<br />

27 TH ANNUAL INTERFAITH CELEBRATION<br />
ST. JOAN OF ARC/TEMPLE BETH EL<br />
Last weekend, our parish and Temple Beth El continued our long history <strong>of</strong> faith and educational activities to strengthen our<br />
inter-community relationship, mutual understanding and respect. We thank our guest speaker Fr. Robert Leavitt S.S.,the past Rector<br />
President <strong>of</strong> Saint Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland who at both the Shabat service on Friday and at Sunday Mass,<br />
helped us understand the meaning <strong>of</strong> Covenant in Judaism and <strong>Catholic</strong>ism. For many years Fr. Leavitt has been involved in<br />
Jewish/<strong>Catholic</strong> dialogue and has a keen interest in fostering ecumenical understanding and cooperation. For both <strong>of</strong> our faiths, the call<br />
<strong>of</strong> God and our response to it is critical. We are both peoples <strong>of</strong> the Covenant and share a common respect for Abraham and Moses.<br />
For <strong>Catholic</strong>s, the life, death and resurrection <strong>of</strong> Jesus constitutes another most important phase <strong>of</strong> our Covenant relationship with God.<br />
Together as <strong>Catholic</strong>s and Jews, we seek to be faithful to our Covenant relationship and to the living out <strong>of</strong> its implications. Since its<br />
inception back in 1986, our two Congregations have grown in mutual understanding, and the love we share for God's Holy Word.<br />
We here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Joan</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arc</strong> extended a warm welcome and Shalom (Peace) with our neighbors across the street from Temple Beth El.<br />

DIOCESAN SERVICES APPEAL<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> Diocesan Services Appeal recently<br />
launched in parishes across the Diocese <strong>of</strong> Palm<br />
Beach. There are many ministries and programs<br />
supported by this annual appeal. Because <strong>of</strong><br />
the DSA, and your generosity, the Diocese can<br />
continue to support the many aspects <strong>of</strong> our<br />
larger <strong>Church</strong>, including the 53 parishes and<br />
missions, and our 19 schools. The DSA is the<br />
primary source <strong>of</strong> funding for the Diocese,<br />
providing more than 70 percent <strong>of</strong> the annual<br />
operating income. The strength <strong>of</strong> our diocese<br />
comes from us recognizing God’s gifts and sharing<br />
a portion <strong>of</strong> these gifts for building up the Kingdom<br />
<strong>of</strong> God. Please contribute to the Diocesan Services<br />
Appeal and help us meet our Parish Goal.<br />
As you all know, implementation <strong>of</strong> Our Journey Forward <strong>St</strong>rategic Plan has<br />
gradually started. This implementation <strong>of</strong> our Plan will require the collaboration<br />
<strong>of</strong> many parishioners with the Six Goal Champion Teams. In this bulletin you will<br />
notice a Journey Forward Goal number next to every event, task or program<br />
that points-out a pertinence to one <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Joan</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arc</strong>’s Goals:<br />
Please consider your role in working with Ministry Leaders, parish staff and<br />
many <strong>of</strong> your fellow parishioners to create a future that will be energized<br />
by the Holy Spirit and responsive to God's will.<br />
Emails indicating interest in volunteering should be sent to:<br />

SAINT OF THE DAY<br />
ST. JOSEPH THE WORKER<br />
Feast Day was May 1, <strong>2013</strong><br />
<strong>Catholic</strong> saints are holy people and human<br />
people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint<br />
the <strong>Church</strong> honors responded to God's invitation<br />
to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each<br />
one <strong>of</strong> us to be a saint.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical<br />
calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the<br />
Husband <strong>of</strong> Mary. The second is May 1—<br />
Joseph, the Worker.<br />
“Saint Joseph is a man <strong>of</strong> great spirit. He is<br />
great in faith, not because he speaks his own<br />
words, but above all because he listens to the<br />
words <strong>of</strong> the Living God. He listens in silence.<br />
And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the<br />
readiness to accept the Truth contained in the<br />
word <strong>of</strong> the Living God,” Pope John Paul II had<br />
once said.<br />
There is very little about the life <strong>of</strong> Joseph<br />
in Scripture but still, we know that he was the<br />
chaste husband <strong>of</strong> Mary, the foster father <strong>of</strong><br />
Jesus, a carpenter and a man who was not<br />
wealthy. We also know that he came from the<br />
royal lineage <strong>of</strong> King David.<br />
We can see from his actions in scripture<br />
that Joseph was a compassionate man, and<br />
obedient to the will <strong>of</strong> God. He also loved<br />
Mary and Jesus and wanted to protect and<br />
provide for them.<br />
Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus'<br />
public life, at his death, or resurrection, many<br />
historians believe Joseph had probably died<br />
before Jesus entered public ministry.<br />
Joseph is the patron <strong>of</strong> many things, including<br />
the universal <strong>Church</strong>, fathers, the dying and<br />
social justice.<br />

V I DOMINGO DE PASCUA, CICLO C:<br />
HUMILDAD PERSONAL Y CONFIANZA EN DIOS<br />
Él es el agarradero firme en cada momento, a<br />
cualquier edad y en toda circunstancia. La humildad<br />
personal y la confianza en Dios van siempre juntas.<br />
Él es la fortaleza y la seguridad en medio de<br />
tanta debilidad como encontramos a nuestro alrededor<br />
y en nosotros mismos. El cristiano tiene puesta<br />
en Dios su esperanza y, porque conoce y acepta su<br />
propia debilidad, no se fía mucho de lo propio. Sabe<br />
que en cualquier empresa deberá poner todos los<br />
medios humanos a su alcance, pero conoce bien que<br />
ante todo debe contar con su oración; y reconoce y<br />
acepta con alegría que todo lo que posee lo ha<br />
recibido de Dios. La humildad no consiste tanto en el<br />
propio desprecio –porque Dios no nos desprecia,<br />
somos obra salida de sus manos–, sino en el olvido<br />
de sí y en la preocupación sincera por los demás. El<br />
olvido de sí es una condición indispensable para la<br />
santidad: solo entonces podemos mirar a Dios como<br />
a nuestro Bien absoluto, y tenemos capacidad para<br />
preocuparnos de los demás.<br />
EL SANTO PADRE DEFIENDE<br />
EL MATRIMONIO<br />
Están en juego la identidad y la supervivencia<br />
de la familia: papa, mama, e hijos. Está en<br />
juego la vida de tantos niños que serán discriminados<br />
de antemano privándolos de la maduración<br />
humana que Dios quiso se diera con un<br />
padre y una madre. Está en juego el rechazo<br />
frontal a la ley de Dios, grabada en nuestros<br />
corazones. No seamos ingenuos: no se trata<br />
de una simple lucha política; es la pretensión<br />
destructiva al plan de Dios. No se trata de un<br />
mero proyecto legislativo (este es solo el instrumento)<br />
sino una “movida” del padre de la<br />
mentira (el diablo) que pretende confundir y<br />
engañar a los hijos de Dios.<br />

“Los obispos de los Estados Unidos, reconociendo el valor del sacrificio espiritual y corporal en la vida de la Iglesia animan a todos los fieles a<br />
hacer ayuno y abstinencia todos los viernes por la intención de la protección de la vida, el matrimonio, y la libertad religiosa.”<br />
LA INTIMIDAD EN EL HOGAR<br />
La casa desde siempre ha sido una preocupación para todos, tener un lugar seguro,<br />
donde protegerse y descansar, la casa es la prolongación espacial de nuestro<br />
cuerpo. La vivienda tiene un carácter protector, estar en paz, estar<br />
protegido, cuidado, ser acogido, estar amparado, es un lugar de compañía. Construimos<br />
nuestras casas como una forma de proyectar espacialmente nuestra intimidad,<br />
es el lugar donde se comparten intimidades, donde se crece.<br />
¿Cómo son nuestras casas ¿Son lugares que cumplen tanto para nosotros mismos<br />
como para nuestros hijos estas características<br />
Existen casas que empujan hacia fuera y casas que atraen; existen casas sin<br />
pudor y casas donde se vive el respeto a la intimidad de otros. Cuidemos de<br />
nuestras casas para que tengan un carácter armónico y acogedor, el decorado de<br />
nuestras casas es como un test proyectivo de nuestra intimidad. La casa debe<br />
ser un lugar ordenado, digno, limpio, donde den ganas de quedarse, estar, entretener<br />
y compartir.<br />
<strong>MAY</strong>O ES EL MES DE MARIA<br />
En América Latina una manifestación de<br />
la capacidad de amar se traduce en la<br />
piedad popular que se mantiene muy<br />
viva en tantos países de América, con<br />
una devoción a la Madre de Dios que es<br />
a la vez tierna y recia, y que entraña una<br />
actitud muy enriquecedora para la humanidad<br />
entera. Todo esto es un gran<br />
don para la Iglesia.<br />
