CONSECRATION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY May 11-June 13 Do you have a special devotion to Mary?

In this Year of Faith, as we are called to

turn towards Jesus Christ and enter into a

deeper relationship with Him, consider

consecrating yourself to Jesus Christ

through Mary. The Total Consecration to

Jesus through Mary by St. Louis-Marie

de Monfort involves a 33-day preparation

period, which consists of daily readings

and prayers, and culminates with a prayer

of consecration on a Marian feast day.

Both the preparation and the prayer of consecration can be done

individually. Here at IHM, a group of parishioners will begin

the 33-day devotion individually on May 11 and will get

together as a group to do the prayer of consecration on the feast

day of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on June 13 after the 8:30

a.m. Mass. Come and join us!

If you have any questions regarding this devotion or if you

would like to receive a copy of the complete packet of readings

and prayers, please contact Fr. Bill at bhao@ihmatlanta.org or

call 404-636-1418, ext. 242.

To Jesus through Mary! Ad Jesum per Mariam!

RCIA INQUIRY SESSIONS

Are you thinking about becoming Catholic or returning to the Church?

Or perhaps you're just curious about why we do some of the things we do, or

what the Church really teaches on certain subjects. We have a small faith

community that will meet monthly this summer to help you explore these

questions. Join us in the lower level of the church from 7:30-9:00 p.m. You do

not have to register, simply come and explore the basics of Catholic faith in a

friendly, informal setting. Contact Drew Denton (ddenton@ihmatlanta.org) for

more information.

PROCESO DEL RICA PARA ADULTOS Y ADOLESCENTES

El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos (RICA) es el proceso a través del

alguien que conoce desea recibir los Sacramentos de Iniciación o simplemente

quiere aprender más sobre la Iglesia Católica, lo invitamos para que asistan a la

sesión de pre-evangelización del RICA. Los esperamos el 13 de mayo en la

FORMACION EN LA FE

Elija una de las siguientes actividades para seguir reflexionando sobre las lecturas del domingo:

Dios ama, perdona y recibe a todos. Piense en las maneras en que su familia puede amar, perdonar y recibir a los demás. En una hoja de papel, haga tres columnas con los siguientes encabezados: Amor, Perdón y Bienvenida. Sugiera junto con su familia las maneras en que pueden llegar a los demás. Escriban las respuestas debajo de los encabezados apropiados. Peguen el papel en un lugar de su casa en el que pueda destacarse.

Jesús extiende el amor de Dios a todos. Averigüe sobre algún grupo que trabaje por la justicia social en su comunidad. Invite a una persona del grupo para que explique las actividades del grupo a su familia. Decidan si hay alguna manera en que puedan ayudarlos.

Piense en una familia cuya herencia nacional o étnica es diferente de la de ustedes. Hablen con ellos sobre las costumbres y celebraciones de su familia.

ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK

Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings:

God loves, forgives and welcomes everyone. Think about ways that your family can love, forgive and welcome others. On a sheet of paper create three columns with the following headings: Love, Forgiveness and Welcome. Brainstorm with your family ways you can reach out to others. Write the responses under the appropriate headings. Post the paper in a prominent place in your home.

Jesus extends God’s love to all. Find out about a group that works for social justice in your community. Invite someone from the group to explain the group’s activities to your family. Decide if there is a way you can help.

Think of a family whose national or ethnic heritage is different from yours. Talk with them about their family customs and celebrations.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

Acts 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48; 1 John 4:7–10; John 15:9–17 Today’s First Reading may help us examine how we sometimes do not value

those that God values. Peter had thought that the covenant extended only to

Jews, but at this meeting with the Gentile Cornelius, he understands that “God

shows no partiality.” Since the gifts of the Holy Spirit are poured over the

Gentiles, it became apparent that the waters of Baptism should not be withheld.

Considering this reading, we might want to examine ours and our parish’s

attitudes toward others. Do we recognize the gifts of those who are unlike us?

Are we hospitable to all or do we show partiality? Does the leadership in the

parish reflect the diversity of the community?

Understanding that God regards no one with partiality may help us comprehend

how we are to love. In the Second Reading, we see that God sent his Son for all

of us, not just those we consider worthy. Do we approach every person as

though God died so that he or she might have life through Christ?

If God shows no partiality, it is obvious that we should love everyone without

reserve. Christ’s command, the Gospel from John tells us, is to “love one

another as I love you.” Do we love as God loves when we reach out only to

those who are like us or agree with us? We hear in today’s Gospel that God

appointed us “to go and bear fruit that will remain.” How can you extend

yourself to people in your parish, workplace, or community? How can your

parish encourage its members to reach out to those who are unfamiliar to them?

SEXTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA

Hechos 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48; 1 Juan 4:7–10; Juan 15:9–17 La primera lectura nos ayuda a darnos cuenta de que muchas veces no

valoramos a los que Dios valora. Pedro había pensado que la alianza era sólo

para los judíos, pero tras encontrarse con el extranjero Cornelio, entiende que

“Dios no hace distinción de personas”. Dado que los dones del Espíritu Santo se

derraman sobre los no judíos también, no se les pueden negar el bautismo. Con

esto en mente, calibremos nuestras actitudes —y las de la parroquia— hacia los

extranjeros. ¿Cómo apreciamos los dones de los que son diferentes a nosotros?

¿Somos generosos y hospitalarios con toda la gente diferente? ¿Refleja el

liderazgo parroquial la diversidad de la comunidad?

Entender que Dios no hace distinción de personas nos debe decidir a amar. En

la segunda lectura, escuchamos que Dios envió a su Hijo para salvación de

todos, no sólo de aquéllos a los que consideramos dignos. ¿Nos acercamos a

cada persona, conscientes de que Dios murió por ella para que tuviera vida en

Cristo?

Si Dios no hace acepción de personas, resulta claro que debemos amar a todos,

sin excepción. El mandato de Cristo es categórico: “ámense unos a otros como

yo los he amado”. ¿Amamos como Dios ama, o sólo a los que son como

nosotros? Dios nos ha elegido y destinado “para ir y dar frutos que

permanezcan”. ¿Cómo puedes contactar a otras personas en tu parroquia, en tu

trabajo o en el sitio de diversión? ¿Cómo puede la parroquia animar a sus

miembros a acercarse a aquellos que no son tan familiares o conocidos?

STEWARDSHIP

SPACE FOR ADS

May 10: A good planning tool we don’t hear much about is a Lead Trust.

This is a trust that one creates to pay out to a charity now for a number of years and at the end of the period

the assets in the trust will revert to the children or the grandchildren. This can be set up to begin while you

are alive or it can be set up to begin when you have passed. This trust can save families capital gains and

gift taxes. It is a wonderful tool to pass assets to your heirs while currently helping your parish with a

building fund or debt reduction fund. For additional information on these trusts contact your estate

attorney or contact Diane Duquette, the Director of Gift Planning at the Catholic Foundation:

dduquette@cfnga.org or 404-497-9440. There is also information on the Catholic Foundation website:

www.cfnga.org.

THE BLESSING OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS Thank your family and friends for signs of their love and care; remember that the love you experience

in others is a reminder of God’s love; intentionally reach out to friends with whom you lose touch or

those whom you do not see regularly.

- The Stewardship Project, Catholic Life & Faith

SECOND COLLECTIONS

This week’s Second Collection will benefit the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul. Through the generous suppor t of IHM

parishioners, the IHM SVdP conference is able to assist families

with rent, utilities and food. Please be generous in assisting the

needy in our community.

Next week’s Second Collection will benefit the Catholic

Communications Campaign. The CCC allows us to share our

experience of faith, worship, and witness with the world. Your

generosity to this collection is a direct act of witness in itself, as you

facilitate the communication of the gospel message. And

remember, half of your donation stays in the Archdiocese of Atlanta

to support local communications projects.

10 DE MAYO DE 2015 SEXTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA

¡FELIZ DIA DE LAS MADRES!

Padre Celestial, te damos gracias por nuestras madres,

a las que Tú les has confiado el cuidado precioso de la vida humana desde su inicio.

Tú has dado a la mujer la capacidad de participar contigo en la creación de nueva vida.

Haz que cada mujer puede llegar a comprender el pleno significado de esta bendición.

Mira a cada madre que está esperando un hijo, fortalece su fe en tu paternal cuidado y amor para con ella y para su hijo en camino. Dale valentía en tiempos de miedo o dolor,

comprensión en los momentos de incertidumbre y duda,

y esperanza en tiempos de problemas.

Concédele alegría en el nacimiento de su hijo. Bendice a las madres a quienes les has dado

el gran privilegio y la responsabilidad de ser formadoras de un niño o una niña.

Haz que todas ellas puedan fomentar la fe de sus hijos,

siguiendo el ejemplo de María, la Madre de Tu Hijo.

Ayuda a todas las "madres espirituales", quienes están al cuidado de los hijos de otros y asumen su tarea con amor maternal,

que puedan descubrir que engendrar vida es mucho más que dar a luz.

Te pedimos que envíes el Espíritu Santo Consolador a las madres que han perdido hijos, que están enfermos o separados de sus familias, que se encuentran en peligro o problemas

de cualquier tipo. Muéstrales Tu misericordia y dales fortaleza y serenidad.

Colma de tu paz a las madres que ya no están con nosotros,

que disfruten en Tu presencia del fruto de sus esfuerzos en la tierra.

María, Madre del Cielo, intercede por todas las madres, sé su guía y consuelo.

Alcánzales de Dios la Gracia para esta vida y la alegría eterna en la Gloria.

Amén.

familias con el pago de renta, utilidades y comida. Por favor sean generosos

al apoyar a los mas necesitados en nuestra comunidad.
