+ Pastor’s Corner + Who belongs to the heart of God? Everyone who loves is begotten of God and has knowledge of him. The one without love has known nothing of God, for God is love. Love, then, consists in this: not that we have loved God, but that he has loved us and has sent his Son as an offering for our sins.” All people with upright hearts live in the memory of the Lord Jesus. Peter explains in the first reading today, “God does not show partiality, but whatever their race, he welcomes people who worship him and do what is just” (Acts 10: 34 - 35).

How many modern “Centurians” like Cornelius, today, still belong to the heart of God, but do not belong to the Church? And how many Christians, who belong to the Church, find themselves not belonging to the heart of God? Love is the acceptable gift, the acceptable sacrifice the binds us together with God, who sacrificed himself through His Son for our sake.

Today and everyday we celebrate the love of God in our midst! Today, let us honor our young parishioners who are receiving their very first Holy Communion. Today is a very special day for them, for they shall receive the gift of love in a unique way as they “taste and see the goodness and love of the Lord.” In our Faith, we are strengthened in love by the participation of the Holy Eucharist and partaking of his sacrificial love for us by the reception of Holy Communion. May we receive Holy Communion as if it were our First Holy Communion, our Last Holy Communion and our only Holy Communion.

Blesssings and love, Fr. Tim ¿Quién pertenece al corazón de Dios? Todo el que ama es engendrado por Dios y tiene conocimiento de él. El que no tiene amor no ha conocido a Dios, porque Dios es amor. El amor, entonces, consiste en esto: no es que hayamos amado a Dios, sino que Él nos ama y ha enviado a su Hijo como ofrenda por nuestros pecados. "Todas las personas con corazones rectos viven en la memoria del Señor Jesús. Pedro explica en la primera lectura de hoy: «Verdaderamente comprendo que Dios no hace acepción de personas, sino que en cualquier nación el que le teme y practica la justicia le es grato». (Hechos10: 34-35).

¿Cuántos "centurianos" modernos como Cornelio, hoy en día, todavía pertenecen al corazón de Dios, pero no pertenecen a la Iglesia? ¿Y cuántos cristianos, que pertenecen a la Iglesia, se encuentran que no pertenecen al corazón de Dios? El amor es el regalo aceptable, el sacrificio aceptable que nos une a Dios, quien se sacrificó a sí mismo a través de su Hijo por nuestro bien.

¡Hoy y todos los días celebramos el amor de Dios en medio de nosotros! Hoy, honremos a nuestros jóvenes feligreses que están recibiendo su Primera Sagrada Comunión. Hoy es un día muy especial para ellos, porque recibirán el don del amor de una manera única, ya que "prueban y ven la bondad y el amor del Señor". En nuestra fe, somos fortalecidos en amor por la participación de los Santa Eucaristía y participar de su amor sacrificial por la recepción de la Sagrada Comunión. Que recibamos la Sagrada Comunión como si fuera nuestra Primera Comunión, nuestra Última Comunión y nuestra Única Comunión.

Bendiciones y amor, Padre Tim

A rch b ish op Gregory, Bishop Shlesinger, and Bishop Konzen ask that you join them for this year’s Eucharistic Congress at the Georgia International Convention Center, June 1st and 2nd.

Let’s allow Jesus to transform us, so we can become His hands and feet to go out into the world and spread the Good News.

Cada año el Congreso Eucarístico reúne a católicos de toda la arquidiócesis y del país para celebrar la presencia viva y visible de Jesús en la Eucaristía.

El tema del Congreso Eucarístico 2018 proviene de Juan 17:21, “Que todos ellos estén unidos” ¡Abramos nuestros corazones a nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Permitamos que Jesús nos transforme para que podamos convertirnos en Sus manos y Sus pies, y así poder salir al mundo y difundir la Buena Nueva.
