“PUSHED” OUT ON MISSION There is a delightful character in the original Dr. Dolittle Tales called the “Pushmi-Pullyu.” It is a beast with two identical halves, with a head at each end. No matter which direction the beast walks, one end is the “push me” and the other is the “pull you.” Today’s feast is a bit like that in the life of the church. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, it is the ascension of Christ that calls for the Holy Spirit, which consequently sends or “pushes” the church out on its mission. This is the mes-sage that we hear from the angels today as they tell the friends of Jesus not to look up into the clouds, but to get busy. It is the message of Jesus himself in Matthew’s Gospel, as he sends them out to baptize. He also tells them, “I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). And it is this message, confident in faith that Jesus has ascended to shouts of joy, that “pulls” us along to our final destiny. The life of the faith-ful disciple, sent into the world on mission, will one day know the same risen, ascended glory. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
“EMPUJADOS” A LA MISIÓN Hay un personaje encantado en Las historias del Dr. Dolittle llamado “Pushmi-Pullyu” [equivalente a Mempu-jas-Tehalo]. Es una bestia con dos mitades idénticas, con una cabeza en cada extremo. Sea cual fuera la dirección en que camina la bestia, un extremo “empuja” y el otro “hala”. La fiesta de hoy refleja algo parecido en la vida de la Iglesia. En el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, es la Ascensión de Cristo la que llama al Espíritu Santo, quien a su vez envía o “empuja” a la Iglesia a realizar su misión. Tal es el mensaje que hoy oímos decir a los ánge-les cuando dicen a los amigos de Jesús que no se queden mirando hacia las nubes, sino que se pongan en acción. Es el mensaje del mismo Jesús en el Evangelio según Mateo, cuando los envía a bautizar: “yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo” (Mateo 28:20). Y es este mensaje, con fe llena de confianza en Jesús que ha ascen-dido con gritos de gozo, el que “nos empuja” hacia nues-tro destino final. La vida del discípulo fiel, enviado al mundo con su misión, es la que un día conocerá la misma gloria resucitada y ascendida. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

St. Mary School “It is not enough that you love the young, they must know they
are loved." - St. John Bosco
Celebrating Our Patroness May is the month of Mary! "May Crowning" is a Catholic tradition that oc-curs in the month of May and it recognizes Mary as Queen of heaven and earth. This Marian celebration is one of the defining aspects of being Catho-lic. Wherever there is faith, there is the example of Mary because she lived by faith as the Scripture reminds us. “In our observance of the Marian month we should take into account the season of the Liturgical Year which largely cor-responds with the fifty days of Easter. Our pious exercises could emphasize Our Lady's participation in the Paschal mystery and in Pentecost with which the Church begins” (from www.catholicculture.org). Our devotion to Mary as our Blessed Mother full of mercy and love is a priority in the educational growth of each student. All families are encouraged to participate in this dis-play of honor and affection to the Mother of God and the patroness of our School and Parish. While we cannot celebrate together this year, families can
still honor Mary in their homes by having their own May Crowning. Praying the rosary and/or the Litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary as a family is another way of celebrating Mary. May we look to Mary for strength and love during these difficult times we are facing. May we use her life and example to stay firm to our faith and know that God will always be with us.
Fundraising: COVID 19 In order to secure the safety and well being of out stu-dents, families and personnel, St. Mary School continues to provide distance learning to students. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has not provided a date as to when in-person instruction will resume. The Superintendent of Catholic School, along with Archbishop Gomez, are con-sulting with public health officials in order to analyze when it will be safe to do so. While in-person instruction is not happening, teachers continue to provide lessons, assignments and support to students. Teachers continue to assess student progress and provide virtual, individual-ized support as needed. For this reason, the school contin-
ues to function financially as we must pay staff and regular monthly bills. We understand that many families have lost their jobs or have had hours cut causing financial distress. The school is currently working on raising funds through donations to support families who cannot pay for tuition. We are committed to providing the best possible education and continued support to all our families in the midst of the pandemic and hardship. We are asking anyone who can do-nate to do so via the school website: https://stmaryspalmdale.org (click “Support our School” under the About tab). Do-nations are tax deductible and can now me made on-line. Please call the school office at (661) 273-5555 for more infor-mation. Thank you for helping your parish community! You are all in our prayers.

La riffa del Disneyland ha sido de gran bendición y aportación al ministerio de Jóvenes de la Iglesia de Santa Maria (SMYM). El año pasado esta rifa ayudó a que nuestros jóvenes lideres participaran en cam-pos de crecimiento espiritual y liderazgo. También, nos ayudó a llevar adelante los domingos de noche de jóvenes y los retiros, especialmente el de cam-pamento de verano. Reconociendo la importancia de mantener la epidemia del COVID19 bajo control pospondremos el sorteo de la riffa hasta Mayo 31. Seguiremos con nuestra venta en cuanto nuestro pastor crea que sea conveniente regresar a la nor-malidad en nuestros ministerios. Por favor si tienen una pregunta no duden en comunicarse con Nancy en el ministerio de Jóvenes 661-947-3306. Muchas gracias por su comprensión y por siempre apoyar a la juventud Santa Maria. Our Disneyland raffle has been a great blessing to Saint Mary's Youth Ministry (SMYM). Last year this raffle helped our teen leaders participate in spiritual growth and leadership camps. The raffle also sup-ported our Sunday Youth Nights and retreats, espe-cially our summer retreat. Recognizing the im-portance of keeping the COVID19 epidemic under control we will postpone the drawing until May 31. We will continue our sale as soon as our pastor thinks it is appropriate to return to our ministries. Please do not hesitate to contact Nancy at Youth Ministry 661-947-3306 if you have a question. Thank you very much for your understanding and for al-ways supporting the St. Mary's young church.
SAINT PHILIP NERI (1515-1595) May 26 In a shop near the Vatican, a group of Americans laughed as the shopkeeper showed off his fluent English and latest souvenir, a key ring whose papal portrait, when pressed, activated a recorded blessing. Through the shop window, two clerics scowled disapproval. The shopkeeper grunted, “They’re a very somber order who’ve left the Church. I recognize them.” “By their long robes?” an American asked. “Many in Rome wear robes,” replied the shopkeeper. “It’s their long faces!” When Philip Neri ar-rived in sixteenth-century Rome, there was reason to be somber. Swiss Guards had been massacred on Saint Peter’s steps defending the pope. Parts of Europe were abandoning the Church. But Philip resolved to be an “apostle of joy,” drawing especially the young to Christ—and frequent con-fession and Communion—by his sincere interest in their problems, prayerful example, and gentle humor. His “Oratory,” a movement as well as a place, provided recrea-tion and devotion in a joyful atmosphere of companion-ship, service, and liturgy. Philip Neri challenges each of us to begin improving Church and world by changing our-selves with unfailing joy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. SAN FELIPE NERI (1515-1595) 26 de mayo San Felipe tenía dos libros favoritos: el Nuevo Testa-mento y uno de chistes, sin duda que es el santo del buen humor. Su padre quiso que fuera comerciante, pero una visita a las catacumbas de los mártires transformó su vi-da. Estando en la universidad decidió educar a los jóve-nes y vender todos sus libros para dar el dinero a los po-bres, pues “sólo amar” es lo que cuenta. Se entregó en cuerpo y alma al apostolado juvenil atrayendo jóvenes ricos y pobres al cuidado de los enfermos, servicio en hospitales y vida de oración. Su intimidad con Dios fue tan notable en su sabio consejo que éste fue buscado por obispos y papas; de hecho, fue director espiritual de grandes santos como Ignacio de Loyola y Carlos Bo-rromeo. Fue ordenado sacerdote en 1551 y fundó un ora-torio designado a la instrucción espiritual, al canto y a la caridad. Debido a su santidad y calidad de vida, uno de los papas quiso nombrarle cardenal y le dejó un sombre-ro cardenalicio en su cuarto, pero san Felipe lo utilizó para atrapar la pelota. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J.
