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 />

- Msgr. Michael D. McGraw<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 />

MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES<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 />
