WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS – MAY 11, 2014
Today, throughout the Church we celebrate World Day of Prayer for vocations. Pope Francis’ message to
us on this day, “A vocation flows from the heart of God and blossoms in the good soil of faithful people.
I turn now to those who are well disposed to listen to the voice of Christ that rings out in the church and
to understand what their own vocation is. I invite you to listen to and follow Jesus, and to allow
yourselves to be transformed interiorly by his words, which are ‘spirit and life’.”
Visit of Bishop Andrew Nkea,
Co-adjustor Bishop of Mamfe Diocese, Cameron
On Sunday, May 18, Fr. Maurice’s Bishop will be celebrating the Family Mass and the 5:30 Mass. There
will be a special collection at those Masses for the needs of the Mamfe Diocese. We welcome Bishop
Nkea and are grateful to him for the presence of Fr. Maurice in our parish community.
PARKING
Parking is always a challenge at St. Ignatius. With the demolition of More Hall across the street from the
church, there will be fewer parking space available. We recommend that you give yourself a little more
time when coming on Sunday mornings/evenings. You may always park in the Commonwealth Avenue
Garage, or on the Brighton Campus. The walk to church will benefit your body as well as your soul.

Queridos Parroquianos,
Es este Día de las Madres, quisiera agradecer a todas las madres que ofrecen a sus niños un
ejemplo de amor sin condiciones. Pienso en mi madre que tiene casi 99 años. Le agradezco por
taodo lo que me ha dado en mi vida. Encontré este poema tan linda que expresa la belleza de
está relación entre madre y hijo.
Cuenta una antigua leyenda que a un niño que estaba por nacer, le dijo Dios;
-Me dicen que me vas a enviar mañana a la tierra; pero ¿Cómo viviré tan pequeño e indefenso
como soy?
-Entre muchos angeles escogí uno para ti, que te estará esperando; él te cuidará.
-Pero dime; aquí en el cielo, no hago más que cantar y sonreír, eso basta para ser feliz.
_Tu ángel te cantará, sonreirá todos los días y tu sentirás su amor, y serás feliz.
-Y ¿Cómo entender que la gente me hable, si no conozco el extraño idioma que hablan los
hombres?
-Tu ángel te dirá las palabras más dulces y más tiernas que puedas escuchar, y con mucha
paciencia y cariño te enseñará a hablar.
-Y ¿Qué haré cuando quiera hablar contigo?
_Tu ángel te juntará las manitas y te enseñara a rezar.
-He oído que en la tierra hay hombres malos, ¿Quién me defenderá?
-Tu ángel te defenderá, aún a costa de su propia vida.
-Pero estaré triste porque no te veré más Señor.
-Tu ángel te hablará de Mí y te enseñará el camino para que regreses a mí presencia, aunque Yo
siempre estaré a tu lado.
En ese instante, una paz reinaba en el cielo pero ya se oían voces terrestres, y el niño presuroso,
repetía suavemente:
-Dios mío, si ya me voy dime su nombre, ¿Cómo se llama mi ángel?
-Su nombre no importa, tú solo le dirás: Mamá!!!
Durante el mes de mayo, honramos a la Virgen Santissima, Madre de Jesús. Les invito a rezar el
Rosario juntos en honor de Maria después de la Misa, el 18 de maío.
Que Dios los bendiga a todas las madres de nuestra comunidad.
Padre Bob
