Join us on Sunday, May 4th, the concluding day of the retreat, for a communal gathering and spiritual conversation. All are invited to attend either at 11:00am or 6:30 pm in the Friary Room. BOOK DISCUSSION On Sunday, May 18th at 11:15 am in the parish office, there will be a discussion of the book Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers by Anne Lamott. According to Booklist, Help, Thanks, Wow is inspiriting, trenchant and funny. “Lamott takes an imaginative do-it-yourself approach to spirituality in her disarming and stirring essays. Unabashedly emotional yet practical and sharply attuned to the absurdities and tragedies of life, she focuses on prayer in this mighty little volume, defining it as ‘communication from the heart to that which surpasses understanding.’ “ CANCER SUPPORT GROUP – OUR LADY HELP OF CHRISTIANS CHURCH The next Faith-Based Cancer Support Group will be at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 5 at Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Newton. Formed through the collaboration of Sacred Heart and Our Lady’s, the group meets the first Monday of each month to provide spiritual, emotional and compassionate support for all those affected by cancer. Following a celebration of the Mass and the Anointing of the Sick (in the church), Fr. John Sassani, Pastor, will then share his thoughts on “Finding God in Every Day Living”. Refreshments will also be served. The church is at 573 Washington Street, Newton, and parking is available in the lot off Adams Street. Enter through the rectory side of the church as it is handicapped-accessible. For questions or more information, please contact Arlene Larsen: 781-899-0213 or aflarsen48@gmail.com or Lorraine Higgins: 617-244-0267 orhiglor1@msn.com, or the parish offices. All are welcome! 1.

COMING UP: May 27th: Shattuck Fourth Tuesday; May 31st: Habitat Build 3. Queridos Parroquianos, Durante la semana pasada estaba escuchando Rezandovoy, y la reflexión sobre el Espíritu Santo me conmovió mucho. Quiero compartirla con ustedes. Nacer del Espíritu no es fácil, no es empresa que podamos acometer solos. Es entrar en una dinámica muy diferente de la que estamos acostumbrados, en la que todo está bajo mi control; todo depende de mí: de mis fuerzas, mi talento, mis creencias, mis normas, mi manera de ver y analizar la realidad. Es ir donde yo sé lo que quiero y marco el rumbo. Nacer del Espíritu es otra cosa, es dejarse llevar por Alguien en quien confiamos plenamente, dejando que nos transforme, nos aliente con su fuerza y nos recree. Es tener los oídos muy atentos para percibir susurros y latidos de vida donde aparentemente solo hay fragilidad y desnudez, aridez y desierto. Nacer del Espíritu nos prepara para captar nuevas señales y aprender a interpretarlas desde otras categorías. Es sobre todo estar dispuestos a marchar con Jesús adonde no pensábamos ir, mirar con Jesús donde antes desviábamos la mirada, acercarse y abrazar con Jesús realidades y personas que antes rechazábamos. adaptación de Jn 3, 5; 7-15, por José Ma Rodríguez Olaizola, sj Tambíen quisiera felicitar a las personas que recibieron el sacramento de la Confirmación este viernes pasado. Vanessa Alvarado, Vilma Herrera, Natalia Ortega, Claudia Perez, Femaris Verdaguer ¡Que el Espíritu Santo las llene con sus siete dones y muchas bendiciones! En el amor de Jesucristo Resucitado, Padre Bob 4. SAINT.
