Dear Friends: As much as we cherish and celebrate the gifts that God has given us, there is always something more that is just beyond our grasp and even our ability to understand or appreciate it. Part of the joy of our faith is the sense of "already-but-not-yet" presence of Jesus and the abiding gift of his Holy Spirit in our hearts. Jesus is present among us in the Church, and we encounter him in the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy: in the Mass and the other sacraments. At the same time, however, we long for more and we are promised more, and Jesus' words in the Gospel, confusing as they sometimes are, speak to our sense of longing and hope for what he promises is yet to be.
This weekend Fr. Carlos and I are speaking in our homilies about the celebration of the Liturgy and our engagement and participation in it as a means of more deeply participating in our life in Jesus. Our full, conscious and active participation in Mass is a means of communicating our acceptance of what Jesus bestows on us in the liturgy and what he promises us for the future. Over the next
various aspects of our celebration of the Liturgy and how we can "get the most out if it," though we come to Mass more to give of ourselves - our praise and thanks to God - than we do to get anything. The amazing gift we receive in return is far greater than what we give, but such is the way of God, who blesses us despite our weakness and unworthiness.
Let us approach the Lord with gratitude for his blessings, and let us strive to give our whole selves, which
part. The word LITURGY means "public work"... the Mass is our "work" of praising God, and God's work of saving us and making us holy. Each of us has to do our part... praying, listening, singing, receiving, giving praise. May each of us be blessed and enriched as we get caught up in this work, this "marvelous exchange" between God and his people.
God's peace to you this week,

About Our Sacristans: Suzanne Luthy
I am Suzanne Luthy, a 15-year-old freshman at Franklin High School. At Franklin, I am in the biomed program and in the Science National Honor Society. Playing
track have helped me meet a lot of people in school. Currently, I am working toward earning my Gold
Award in the Girl Scouts. St. Joseph Parish has always been a comfortable place for me. When I was younger,
became an altar server to have the chance to take an active part in the mass each week. As an altar server I saw the sacristans working behind the scenes. I started to watch them care for the church and I knew I wanted to step into that job. For the past year, I have enjoyed being a sacristan, as well as, continue to altar serve. Everyone at St. Joseph is friendly and appreciative of the help; their support has encouraged me to be active in our parish and I feel blessed to be a part of this faith community.
Plan to make casseroles!Casseroles for Our Daily Bread will be collected on Sat., May 14. Please bring the frozen casseroles to the church parking lot be-tween 8:30 and 9 a.m. Last month we collected 117 casseroles, cash, and pantry items from 84 parishioners. Approximately 700 clients are served each day at Our Daily Bread. For many people, this is the only meal they receive for the day.

Celebración de PRIMERA EUCARISTÍA es el sábado, 14 de mayo a 10:30 a.m. en la Iglesia para todos aquellos que se han preparado este año.
Queridos Amigos:Por más que apreciamos y celebramos los regalos que Dios nos dado, siempre hay algo fuera de nuestro alcance y ni siquiera nuestra abilidad de entender o apreciarlo. Parte del gozo de nuestra fé es el sentido de “listo pero aun no” la presencia de Jesús y los dones del Espriritú Santo en nuestros corazones. Jesús está presente entre nosotros en la Iglesia, y lo encontramos en la Celebración de la Sagrada Liturgia; en la Misa y en otros Sacramentos, al mismo tiempo, sin embargo queremos más y prometemos más y las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio, confusos como alguna veces son, nos habla a nuestros sentido de anhelo y esperanza que los que promete todavia está por venir.
nuestras homilias acerca de la celebración de la Liturgia y nuestros compromisos y participación más profunda y tener presente a Jesús en nuestras vidas. Nuestro total, consiente y activa participación en la Misa, nuestra aceptación de lo que Jesús nos otorga en la Liturgia y que nos promete para el futuro.
el boletin árticulos de varios aspectos de nuestra celebración de la Liturgia y como podemos enriquecernos de ellos. Pensamos que venimos a Misa para dar más de nosotros…nuestro agradecie-miento y alabanza a Dios… Pero no conseguimos nada. Los dones maravilloso que recibimos en retornos son más grandes de los que damos.. Como siempre Dios nos bendice a pesar de nuestras debilidades y sin merecerlos.
Acerquémonos al Señor agradeciéndole por todas las bendiciones y hagamos el esfuerzo de entregarle todo, que a veces implica
“trabajo público”.. La Misa es nuestro “trabajo” alabando y agra-deciendo a Dios, y el trabajo de Dios es salvarnos y haciéndonos santos. Cada uno de nosotros tenemos que hacer nuestra parte.. orando, escuchando, cantando, recibiendo, adorando. Que cada uno de nosotros sea bendecido y enriquecido mientras trabajemos juntos, Dios y nosotros.
Padre Rick
Sixth Sunday of Easter
Today’s Readings: Acts 15:1–2, 22–29; Psalm 67:2–3, 5, 6, 8; Revelation 21:10–14, 22–23; John 14:23–29. The mes-sage this Sunday continues the theme from last week and begins to prepare us for the celebration of the Ascension. Again, this story appears before the Passion, but we see it now in light of the Resurrection and the promises of Christ. This Gospel can be looked at in three sections. In the first section, Jesus asserts that those who love him will keep his Word. What is his Word? If we have fallen in love with Christ, how can we not love like him? We must heed his actions and his teaching. In the second part of the passage, Jesus foretells the coming of the Holy Spirit who will teach us and guide us on the path to remain faithful to the Word.
We received the Holy Spirit in Baptism and, lovingly, the Spirit continues to draw us into the heart of Christ. The third section promises us Christ’s peace, which will remove all fear so that we can go forth into the world and witness to the love of Christ. The love that enveloped us in Baptism is a radical love that transforms our hearts to see the world through a new lens. We are called to attend to the poor, the sick, the out-casts. Who are these children of God in your community? Are you aware that God dwells within you? How does God’s Word call you to live? Spend some time with the word love this week and create a piece of art that depicts its meaning and your relationship with Christ.
Peace of ChristO God of All Nations,you became incarnate to free us from
the burden of sinand to show us profound love.We humbly praythat we may receive the peace the world
cannot give,a peace that calms fearful heartsand opens us to heed your holy Word.May the Advocate teach us your waysand awaken within us a love for Jesus,
your Son.May your Holy Spirit sustain our faith,keep us safe, and bestow upon us perfect joy.Grant us fortitude and perseveranceso that we may be heralds of the
peace of Christ.And on that final day,may you welcome us at the eternal feast.Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This Week at HomeMonday, May 2, 2016Memorial of St. AthanasiusToday, the Church remembers St. Athanasius, who fought against the Arian heresy to uphold the teaching that Christ was fully human and fully divine. He suffered many hard-ships in his ministry, but he persevered and remained faithful to Christ. You might want to reflect today on the teachings in the Nicene Creed. Today’s Readings: Acts 16:11–15; Psalm 149:1b–2, 3–4, 5–6a and 9b; John 15:26 —16:4a.
Tuesday, May 3, 2016Feast of Sts. Philip and JamesThe Scriptures do not tell us much about James the Lesser except that he was called by Jesus to be among the Twelve. Philip is mentioned a few times, and we know from today’s Gospel that it took him a while to realize who Jesus was. Do you continue to strive to realize who Jesus is? What does Jesus mean to you? Today’s Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:1–8; Psalm 19:2–3, 4–5; John 14:6–14.
Wednesday, May 4, 2016Our GuideAs we approach the celebration of the Ascension of the Lord, the Gospel reminds us that the Holy Spirit will guide our steps until Jesus returns in glory. Allow the Spirit to breathe life into you. In the coming days, find a prayer or hymn to the Holy Spirit, and pray it. Today’s Readings: Acts 17:15, 22 —18:1; Psalm 148:1–2, 11–12, 13, 14; John 16:12–15.
Thursday, May 5, 2016Solemnity of the Ascension of the LordWe are witnesses to the Paschal Mystery. Like the Apostles, Jesus has blessed us and sent us on mission to share the Gospel to the ends of the earth. He promises to send his Spirit upon us to guide us in this great mission. Jesus remains with his Church in the power of the Holy Spirit. Read over
today’s Gospel, pausing and meditating on the phrase, “And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.” Today’s Readings: Acts 1:1–11; Psalm 47:2–3, 6–7, 8–9; Ephesians 1:17–23 or Hebrews 9:24–28; 10:19–23; Luke 24:46–53.
Thursday of the Sixth Week of EasterThe Gospel reveals that Jesus is going away but will return. We know that Jesus ascends into heaven and will return on that final day to reign in glory. That final day seems far off, but even now, we should be living in a manner that prepares us for Jesus’ Second Coming. Since Aquila and Priscilla are mentioned in the First Reading, take some time to research their story. Today’s Readings: Acts 18:1–8; Psalm 98:1, 2–3ab, 3cd–4; John 16:16–20.
Friday, May 6, 2016SquabbleThough the Jewish community rose up against Paul, we see in the First Reading that the political leader saw this as a squabble over titles and doctrines. We still squabble over titles and doctrines. Let us pray for peace within the Church and that the Holy Spirit remain our guide. Today’s Readings: Acts 18:9–18; Psalm 47:2–3, 4–5, 6–7; John 16:20–23.
Saturday, May 7, 2016StudyBy study and knowledge of Scripture, Apollos attests that Jesus is the Christ. The Word of God transformed his heart and inspired him to share the news that Jesus is Lord. Our psalm today invites us to give praise for this truth. Consider how the study of Scripture has helped you develop a deeper love for Christ. Does the proclamation of the Word at Mass rouse your heart and lead you, like Apollos, to share the Word? Today begins the Novena to the Holy Spirit as we approach Pentecost. Find this prayer and share it with friends and family as the Church calls upon the Spirit. Today’s Readings: Acts 18:23–28; Psalm 47:2–3, 8–9, 10; John 16:23b–28.

Praying with Body, Mind, and Voice
In the celebration of Mass we raise our hearts and minds to God. We are creatures of body as well as spirit, so our prayer is not confined to our minds
and hearts. It is expressed by our bodies as well. When our bodies are engaged in our prayer, we pray with our whole person. Using our entire being in prayer helps us to pray with greater attentiveness.
During Mass we assume different postures—standing, kneeling, sitting—and we are also invited to make a variety of gestures. These postures and gestures are not merely ceremonial. They have pro-found meaning and, when done with understand-ing, can enhance our participation in the Mass.
STANDINGStanding is a sign of respect and honor, so we stand as the celebrant who represents Christ enters and leaves the assembly. From the earliest days of the Church, this posture has been understood as the stance of those who have risen with Christ and seek the things that are above. When we stand for prayer, we assume our full stature before God, not in pride but in humble grati-tude for the marvelous things God has done in creat-ing and redeeming each one of us. By Baptism we have been given a share in the life of God, and the posture of standing is an acknowledgment of this wonderful gift. We stand for the proclamation of the Gospel, which recounts the words and deeds of the Lord. The bishops of the United States have chosen standing as the posture to be observed for the reception of Communion.
KNEELINGIn the early Church, kneeling signified penance. So thor-oughly was kneeling identified with penance that the early Christians were forbidden to kneel on Sundays and during the Easter season, when the prevailing spirit of the Liturgy was one of joy and thanksgiving. In the Middle Ages kneeling came to signify homage, and more recently this posture has come to signify adoration, especially before the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It is for this reason that the bishops of this country have chosen the posture of kneeling for the entire Eucharistic Prayer.
SITTINGSitting is the posture of listening and meditation, so the congregation sits for the pre-Gospel readings and the homily and may also sit for the period of meditation fol-lowing Communion. All should strive to assume a seated posture during the Mass that is attentive rather than merely at rest.
PROCESSIONSEvery procession in the Liturgy is a sign of the pilgrim Church, the body of those who believe in Christ, on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. The Mass begins with the procession of the priest and ministers to the altar. The Book of the Gospels is carried in procession to the ambo. The gifts of bread and wine are brought forward to the altar. Members of the assembly come for-ward in procession—eagerly, attentively, and devoutly—to receive Holy Communion. We who believe in Christ are moving in time toward that moment when we will leave this world and enter into the joy of the Lord in the eternal Kingdom he has prepared for us.
MAKING THE SIGN OF THE CROSSWe begin and end Mass by marking ourselves with the Sign of the Cross. Because it was by his death on the Cross that Christ redeemed humankind, we trace the Sign of the Cross on our foreheads, lips, and hearts at the beginning of the Gospel, praying that the Word of God may be always in our minds, on our lips, and in our hearts. The cross reminds us in a physical way of the Pas-chal Mystery we celebrate: the death and Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
BOWINGBowing signifies reverence, respect, and gratitude. In the Creed we bow at the words that commemorate the Incarnation. We also bow as a sign of reverence before we receive Communion. The priest and other ministers bow to the altar, a symbol of Christ, when entering or leaving the sanctuary. As a sign of respect and reverence even in our speech, we bow our heads at the name of Jesus, at the mention of the Three Persons of the Trinity,
at the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and at the name of the saint whose particular feast or memorial is being observed (see GIRM, no. 275).
GENUFLECTINGAs a sign of adoration, we genuflect by bringing our right knee to the floor. Many people also make the Sign of the Cross as they bend their knee. Traditionally, Catholics genuflect on entering and leaving church if the Blessed Sacrament is present in the sanctuary of the Church. The priest and deacon genuflect to the tabernacle on entering and leaving the sanctuary. The priest also genuflects in adoration after he shows the Body and Blood of Christ to the people after the consecration and again before inviting the people to Holy Communion.
ORANSThe priest frequently uses this ancient prayer posture, extending his hands to his sides, slightly elevated. Orans means “praying.” Early Christian art frequently depicts the saints and others standing in this posture, offering their prayers and surrendering themselves, with hands uplifted to the Lord, in a gesture that echoes Christ’s outstretched arms as he offered himself on the Cross.
PROSTRATINGIn this rarely used posture, an individual lies full-length on the floor, face to the ground. A posture of deep humil-ity, it signifies our willingness to share in Christ’s death so as to share in his Resurrection (see Rom 6). It is used at the beginning of the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday and also during the Litany of the Saints in the Rite of Ordination, when those to be ordained dea-cons, priests, and bishops prostrate themselves in humble prayer and submission to Christ.
SINGING“By its very nature song has both an individual and a communal dimension. Thus, it is no wonder that sing-ing together in church expresses so well the sacramental presence of God to his people” (United States Confer-ence of Catholic Bishops, Sing to the Lord, no. 2). As we raise our voices as one in the prayers, dialogues, and chants of the Mass, most especially in the Eucharistic
Prayer, as well as the other hymns and songs, we each lend our individual voices to the great hymn of praise and thanksgiving to the Triune God.
PRAYING IN UNISONIn the Mass, the worshiping assembly prays in one voice, speaking or singing together the words of the prayers. By saying the same words at the same time, we act as what we truly are—one Body united in Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism.
BEING SILENT“Silence in the Liturgy allows the community to reflect on what it has heard and experienced, and to open its heart to the mystery celebrated” (Sing to the Lord, no. 118). We gather in silence, taking time to separate our-selves from the concerns of the world and enter into the sacred action. We reflect on the readings in silence. We may take time for silent reflection and prayer after Holy Communion. These times of silence are not merely times when nothing happens; rather, they are opportunities for us to enter more deeply in what God is doing in the Mass, and, like Mary, to keep “all these things, reflect-ing on them” in our hearts (Lk 2:19).
CONCLUSIONThe Church sees in these common postures and ges-tures both a symbol of the unity of those who have come together to worship and also a means of fostering that unity. We are not free to change these postures to suit our own individual piety, for the Church makes it clear that our unity of posture and gesture is an expres-sion of our participation in the one Body formed by the baptized with Christ, our head. When we stand, kneel, sit, bow, and sign ourselves in common action, we give unambiguous witness that we are indeed the Body of Christ, united in body, mind, and voice.
