My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This weekend marks the end of Deacon Raj DeDerivera’s assignment to help here at Saint Matthew’s during his final year of studies at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park. We are most grateful to Deacon Raj for his wonderful ministry among us and for his generosity of spir-it. Deacon Raj will be ordained Priest for the Diocese of Sacramento on Satur-

day, June 4 at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in our State’s Capital City. We certainly hope that he’ll be able to join us sometime afterward to celebrate Mass with us. Please keep Deacon Raj in your prayers as he enters into these final days of spiritual preparation for Ordination as Priest of Je-sus Christ. Lord God, we pray that you protect and watch over Deacon Raj. Grant him the grace to choose each day to follow you absolutely, faithfully to serve your people, and daily to grow in the image and likeness of your Son. Keep kindled in his heart the fire of evangeliza-tion and total openness to your Holy Spirit. May he yearn to be in the Savior’s Eucharistic presence, have a sincere devotion to our mother Mary and profound love for your Church. Give him the desire to pick up his cross daily for your greater glory in the ministry by which you have chosen to save your people. We ask all this through our Great High Priest, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen. Msgr. J. Talesfore

The Spiritual Works of Mercy The Spiritual Works of Mercy have long been a part of the Christian tradition, appearing in the works of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual well-being of those he ministered to, these Spiritual Works of Mercy guide us to "help our neighbor in their spiritual needs" (USCCA). The seven Spiritual Works of Mercy are listed below. COUNSELING THE DOUBTFUL, INSTRUCTING THE IGNORANT, ADMONISHING THE SINNER, COMFORTING THE SORROWFUL

FORGIVING INJURIES Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God's limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God. ♥ Let go of grudges. ♥ Saying sorry is something we learn as kids, but how often do we really mean it? ♥ Forgiveness transforms hearts and lives. ♥ Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet ♥ Participate in the Sacrament of Penance BEARING WRONGS PATIENTLY Do not be bitter about wrongs done against you. Place your hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of this world and face them with a compassionate spirit. Frustrated with someone? Step away from the situation, take a few deep breaths, pray the Our Father, asking God for patience. PRAYING FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support others. Joining together in prayer for the living and the dead entrusts us all into God's care. ♥ Request a mass intention for a friend or family member who is going through a tough time. ♥ Request a mass intention for a friend or family member who has passed away. ♥ Keep your own book of prayer intentions, writing down the names of those who you are keeping in your prayers. ♥ Ask a friend or family member if there is anything you can pray for them about. Through prayer, entrust your cares and concerns for those around you to God.

OBRAS DE MISERICORDIA ESPIRITUALES Las obras de misericordia espirituales Las obras de misericordia espirituales han sido durante mucho tiempo una parte de la tradición cristiana, que aparece en las obras de teólogos y es-critores espirituales largo de la historia. Al igual que Jesús asis-tió al bienestar espiritual de aquellos a los que atendía a, estas obras de misericordia espirituales nos guíe para "ayudar al prójimo en sus necesidades espirituales" ( USCCA ). Las siete obras de misericordia espirituales se enumeran a conti-nuación. ACONSEJAR AL QUE TENGA DUDA, INSTRUIR AL IGNO-RANTE, CORREGIR AL QUE ESTA EN ERROR,

CONSOLAR A LOS AFLIGIDOS

Esté abierto a escuchar y consolar a los que tienen una pena. Incluso si no estamos seguros de las palabras adecuadas para decir nuestra presencia puede hacer una gran diferencia. ♥ Prestar un oído atento a aquellos que pasan por un momento difícil. ♥ Hacer una comida casera para un amigo que se enfrenta a un momento difícil. ♥ Escribir una carta o enviar una tarjeta a alguien que está sufriendo. ♥ Unos minutos de su día pueden hacer una gran diferencia para alguien que está pasando por un momento difícil.

PERDONAR AL QUE NOS OFENDE Perdonar a los demás es difícil a veces porque no tenemos la misericordia y la compasión sin límites de Dios. Pero Jesús nos enseña que debemos perdonar como Dios perdona, confiando en él para ayudar a mostrar a otros la misericordia de Dios ♥ Dejar de lado los rencores ♥ Pedir perdón es algo que aprendemos como niños, pero ¿con qué frecuencia lo decimos en serio? El perdón transforma los corazones y vidas ♥ Participar en el Sacramento de la Penitencia ♥ Rezar la Coronilla.

TOMAR LOS ERRORES CON PACIENCIA ♥ No te amargues por errores cometidos en tu contra. Coloca tu esperanza en Dios para que puedas soportar los problemas de este mundo y te enfrentes a ellos con un espíritu compasivo. ♥ Frustrado con alguien? Aléjate de la situación, toma unas cuantas respiraciones profundas, reza el Padre Nuestro, pidien-do a Dios paciencia.

REZAR POR LOS VIVOS Y LOS MUERTOS La oración es una de las maneras más poderosas en la que podemos apoyar a otros. Unirse en oración por los vivos y los muertos nos confía en el cuidado de Dios. ♥ Solicitar una intención de misa para un amigo o miembro de la familia que está pasando por un momento difícil ♥ Solicitar una intención de misa para un amigo o familiar que ha fallecido. ♥ Mantenga su propio libro de intenciones de oración, anotan-do los nombres de los que se están manteniendo en sus oracio-nes. Pídale a un amigo o miembro de la familia si hay algo por lo que usted puede orar por ellos USCCB

Stewardship by the Book Today’s reading from Revelation offers a vision of the City of God, the new Jerusalem. “But,” the bishop’s pastoral on stewardship reminds us, : “that ‘life to come’ is in continuity with this present life through the human goods, the worthy human purposes, which people foster now.”

La Administración de Nuestro Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro como Bienes de Dios, según “el Libro” La lectura de hoy del Apocalipsis ofrece una visión de la Ciudad de Dios, la Nueva Jerusalén. “Pero”, la carta pastoral de los obispos sobre la Administración de los Bienes de Dios, nos recuerda, “que ‘la vida venidera’ esta en continuidad con esta vida presente a través de los bienes humanos, los dignos propósitos humanos, que la gente fomenta ahora.”

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Sexto Domingo de Pascua . En documentos oficiales, presentaciones y ho-milías que delinean el propósito del Año Jubi-

lar de la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco explica que la compasión y la comprensión por aquellas perso-nas en situaciones difíciles no es solamente nuestra responsabilidad personal, sino algo que toda la Iglesia oficialmente necesita manifestarse. Hoy el texto de los Hechos de los Apóstoles presenta un ejemplo conmovedor de la Iglesia de los primeros siglos haciendo precisamente eso. El comienzo de una oración al Espíritu Santo asegura a la asamblea que ellos no actuaron solos discerniendo la decisión correcta: “Porque pareció bien al Espíritu Santo y a nosotros”. Y ellos ya eligieron una respuesta compa-siva: “no imponerles mayor carga que estas cosas esenciales” (Hechos 15:28). Sin embargo, que creati-vamente, la mayoría judía puso a un lado los ritua-les establecidos de toda la vida que establecían identidad y expresaban fidelidad a la alianza. Que confianza tan fundamental, la comunidad afirma principios validos universalmente y al mismo tiempo respeta situaciones personales y particulares. ¡Exactamente la gracia por la que el Papa Francisco ora que este Año Jubilar renueve a la Iglesia de hoy! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Sixth Sunday of Easter In formal documents, presentations, and homi-lies outlining the purpose of this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis ex-plains that compassion and understanding for those in difficult situations is not only our individual responsibility, but some-thing the whole Church officially needs to mani-fest. Today’s Acts of the Apostles reading presents a moving example of the early church doing pre-cisely that. Prayerful openness to the Holy Spir-it assures the assembly that they have not acted alone in discerning the correct resolution: “It is

the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us.” And they have chosen the compassionate response: “not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities” (Acts 15:28). Yet how daringly creative—the Jewish ma-jority sets aside lifelong rituals that establish spir-itual identity and express covenant fidelity. How radically trustful—the church affirms universally valid principles while re-specting uniquely local and personal situations. Exactly the grace Pope Francis prays this Jubilee Year will renew in today’s Church! —Peter Scagnelli, Copy-right © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,

Este fin de semana marca el final de la asignación del Diacono Raj DeDeri-vera para

ayudar aquí en St. Matthew durante su último año de estu-dios en el Seminario de San Patricio en Menlo Park. Esta-mos muy agradecidos con el por su maravilloso ministerio entre nosotros y por su genero-sidad de espíritu.

El Diacono Raj será ordenado sacerdote para la Diócesis de Sacramento el sábado 4 de

junio en la Catedral del Santí-simo Sacramento en la capital de nuestro Estado (Sacramento). Por cierto, es-peramos que en algún momen-to después de su ordenación venga a celebrar una misa con nosotros.

Por favor, mantenga al Dia-cono Raj en sus oraciones mien-tras él entra en sus últimos días de preparación espiritual para su ordenación como sacerdote de Jesucristo.

Señor Dios, te pedimos que pro-tejas y cuides del Diacono Raj. Le concedas la gracia de elegir cada día a seguirte a pesar de todo, para servir fielmente a tu gente, y todos los días para cre-cer en la imagen y semejanza de

tu Hijo. Mantén encendido en su corazón el fuego de la evange-lización y la apertura total al Espíritu Santo. Que él anhele estar en la presencia eucarística del Salvador, que tenga una sin-cera devoción a nuestra madre María y profundo amor a tu Iglesia. Dale el deseo de recoger su cruz de cada día para su ma-yor gloria en el ministerio por el cual tu lo has elegido para sal-var a tu gente. Te pedimos todo esto a través de nuestro Gran Sumo Sacerdote, Jesucristo nues-tro Señor.

Amén.

Msgr. John Talesfore
