On this fifth Sunday of Easter, we continue glorifying the risen Christ. Gradually, Christ approaches his Ascension into heaven. Hence, He promised us a place with him in his kingdom if we persevere in our faith and love for one another.

In today’s first reading, Paul encourages us to remain faithful in our mission as disciples of Jesus Christ. He reminds us that: “We all have to experience many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God.” In other words, our suffering as Christians is the steppingstone to our victory. If we do not lose our faith during times of persecution and hardships, we shall be victorious. Therefore, love for the Word and love for one another must sustain us as we march toward the kingdom of God.

En este quinto domingo de Pascua, continuamos glorificando a Cristo resucitado. Gradualmente, Cristo se acerca a su Ascensión al cielo. Por eso, nos prometió un lugar con él en su reino si perseveramos en nuestra fe y amor mutuo.

En la primera lectura de hoy, Pablo nos anima a permanecer fieles en nuestra misión como discípulos de Jesucristo. Nos recuerda que: “Todos tenemos que experimentar muchas tribulaciones antes de entrar en el reino de Dios”. En otras palabras, nuestro sufrimiento como cristianos es el peldaño hacia la victoria. Si no perdemos la fe en tiempos de persecución y dificultades, saldremos victoriosos. Por lo tanto, el amor a la Palabra y el amor mutuo deben sostenernos en nuestra marcha hacia el reino de Dios.

The Senior Group of St. Katharine Drexel Parish emerged as a response to the growing immigration from Latin American countries to the United States. From the beginning, the idea was to create a space for communication among people of the same age group who were facing problems of loneliness and maladjustment, stemming from their migrant conditions, having to leave behind their homes, friends, and communities. Often, their only connection to the world was through their children and grandchildren, many of whom had already settled in the U.S. long before.

From its inception, the group has been very successful in achieving its goals specifically, in forming a team centered around sharing, support, confidentiality, and friendship. It became a great source of encouragement to successfully navigate the challenging process of aging while migrating, in a healthy way.

Currently, the group is made up of women over 65 years old, with an average age of 75, and the oldest being 95. Most of them came to live in the U.S. due to the urgent need to leave their countries, without having made any prior life planning. While the majority of the group members are Venezuelan, there are also women from Peru, Colombia, Chile, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and other Spanish-speaking countries.

We meet for two and a half hours every Thursday at 11 a.m. During these meetings, we typically engage in recreational activities and discuss a variety of topics of interest (personal, family-related, and collective) mostly related to health, but also covering cultural, technological, and social aspects. All topics are intended to foster empathetic sharing of our life experiences.

We also address topics related to acquiring the tools necessary to continue making life decisions responsibly, as Christian individuals. The goal is to add quality of life as we increase in years.

We feel great satisfaction and pride in being members of the Senior Ministry of our parish. We are aware and committed to the individual and collective need and responsibility we have in achieving a healthy aging process physically and spiritually at this stage in our lives.

We recognize and are grateful that we have a physical space, and recognize our parish is giving us the opportunity to continue growing as Christian individuals in the most vulnerable stage of our lives.

With God, we can always say,
"this life is worth living!".

El Grupo Senior de la Parroquia St. Katharine Drexel surgió como una propuesta ante la creciente inmigración de países de Latinoamérica a los Estados Unidos. Desde el inicio, la idea fue conformar un espacio de comunicación entre personas del mismo grupo etario quienes confrontaban problemas de soledad y desadaptación derivados de sus condiciones de migrantes, al tener que dejar atrás sus casas, amigos, y grupos de pertenencia, siendo su única conexión con el mundo, sus hijos y nietos, muchos de ellos ya instalados con bastante anterioridad.

Desde sus inicios el grupo tuvo mucho éxito en el logro de sus objetivos, específicamente, en lo que corresponde a la conformación de un equipo de intercambio, acompañamiento, confidencialidad y amistad, convirtiéndose en un gran incentivo para avanzar con éxito durante el difícil proceso de tener que migrar y envejecer a la vez, de manera saludable.

En la actualidad, el grupo está conformado por señoras mayores de 65 años, con una edad promedio de 75 años, siendo la edad máxima, 95 años. La mayoría se vinieron a vivir a USA, ante la inminente necesidad de tener que salir de sus países, sin una programación previa de vida adecuada. La mayoría de las integrantes del grupo son de nacionalidad venezolana, pero también asisten señoras de Perú, Colombia, Chile, Nicaragua, Republica Dominicana etc, todas de habla hispana. Nos reunimos, durante dos horas y media, los jueves a las 11 am. En estas reuniones acostumbramos a realizar actividades recreacionales, también, discutimos diferentes temas de interés (personales, familiares y colectivos), en su mayoría sobre contenidos de salud, así como aspectos culturales, tecnológicos y sociales. Todos, tópicos orientados a compartir de manera empática nuestras vivencias.

Cabe mencionar que también estamos abordando temas relacionados con la adquisición de las herramientas necesarias para seguir tomando decisiones de vida, con responsabilidad, como personas cristianas. El objetivo es agregar calidad de vida al mayor número de años.

Sentimos gran satisfacción y orgullo por ser miembros del Ministerio Senior de nuestra parroquia. Estamos, conscientes y comprometidas de la necesidad y responsabilidad, tanto, individual como grupal, que tenemos para lograr un proceso de envejecimiento saludable, físico y espiritual, en esta etapa de nuestras vidas.

Reconocemos y agradecemos, que mucho más que un espacio físico, nuestra parroquia nos está brindando la oportunidad de seguir creciendo como personas cristianas en la etapa de mayor vulnerabilidad de nuestras vidas.

Con Dios, siempre podremos decir,
"esta vida, merece ser vivida ¡".

Liturgical Catechesis: The Parts of the Mass | Issue 12 / 40

The first reading is usually taken from the Hebrew Bible, but in the Easter season, it is taken from the Acts of the Apostles.

If we pay attention to the readings, it becomes clear that the church has made a special effort to relate the material in the first reading to the material in the Gospel reading.

The second reading is usually taken from letters written by the apostles to the early Christian communities and is meant to instruct us in the Christian life.

In some cases, the second reading will be related to the others, but in most cases, it speaks to us independently.

Catequesis Litúrgica: Las partes de la Misa | Edición 12 / 40

La primera lectura suele tomarse de la Biblia hebrea, pero en el tiempo pascual se toma de los Hechos de los Apóstoles.

Si prestamos atención a las lecturas, queda claro que la Iglesia ha hecho un esfuerzo especial por relacionar el material de la primera lectura con el material de la lectura del Evangelio.

La segunda lectura suele estar tomada de cartas escritas por los apóstoles a las primeras comunidades cristianas y tiene por objeto instruirnos en la vida cristiana.

En algunos casos, la segunda lectura estará relacionada con las otras, pero en la mayoría de los casos, nos habla independientemente.

As the humidity and heat intensify in South Florida, it’s easy to understand why people reach for lighter clothing. But we must remind that when we come to Mass, we are not going to the beach or the mall we are entering into sacred worship, standing in the presence of the Living God.

Some might say, “But Father, at least they’re coming to Mass,” and there is truth in that. We are always grateful to see people in the pews. But presence is only the beginning of participation. How we present ourselves at Mass, including how we dress, speaks volumes about how we understand what is happening. If the Eucharist is truly the source and summit of our faith if it is Christ Himself we receive then our outward reverence should reflect the inward reality.

Modesty isn’t just about avoiding scandal or preventing distraction though those are important reasons, especially in a mixed and intergenerational congregation. Modesty is ultimately about humility. It’s about recognizing that we are in a sacred space, participating in a sacred mystery. Just as the priest vests for the altar, the faithful, too, should consider how they clothe themselves for the Lord’s house. We dress not to impress but to express reverence.

This doesn’t mean people must wear formal or uncomfortable clothing, especially in the heat. One can dress appropriately and still be comfortable. What’s needed is a spirit of respect respect for the sacred liturgy, respect for fellow worshippers, and respect for one’s own dignity. Our choices in clothing should not be a cause of distraction, discomfort, or more seriously a source of temptation or scandal to others.

The way we dress for Mass is part of our offering. It’s one more way we give glory to God. Just as we would dress with care to meet someone important, how much more should we be mindful when coming before the King of Kings?

Con el aumento de la humedad y el calor en el sur de Florida, es fácil entender por qué la gente busca ropa más ligera. Pero debemos recordar que cuando asistimos a misa, no vamos a la playa ni al centro comercial; entramos en el culto sagrado, en la presencia del Dios vivo.

Algunos dirán: «Pero Padre, al menos vienen a misa», y hay razón en ello. Siempre agradecemos ver gente en las bancas. Pero la presencia es solo el comienzo de la participación. Nuestra presentación en la misa, incluyendo nuestra vestimenta, dice mucho de cómo entendemos lo que está sucediendo. Si la Eucaristía es verdaderamente la fuente y la cumbre de nuestra fe si es a Cristo mismo a quien recibimos, entonces nuestra reverencia externa debe reflejar la realidad interna.

La modestia no se trata solo de evitar el escándalo o las distracciones, aunque estas son razones importantes, especialmente en una congregación mixta e intergeneracional. La modestia, en definitiva, se trata de humildad. Se trata de reconocer que estamos en un espacio sagrado, participando en un misterio sagrado. Así como el sacerdote se viste para el altar, los fieles también deben considerar cómo se visten para la casa del Señor. Nos vestimos no para impresionar, sino para expresar reverencia.

Esto no significa que debamos usar ropa formal o incómoda, especialmente con el calor. Se puede vestir apropiadamente y aun así estar cómodo. Lo que se necesita es un espíritu de respeto: respeto por la sagrada liturgia, respeto por los demás fieles y respeto por la propia dignidad. Nuestras elecciones de ropa no deben ser causa de distracción, incomodidad ni, lo que es más grave, fuente de tentación o escándalo para los demás.

La forma en que nos vestimos para la Misa es parte de nuestra ofrenda. Es una forma más de dar gloria a Dios. Así como nos vestiríamos con esmero para recibir a alguien importante, ¿cuánto más debemos ser conscientes al presentarnos ante el Rey de reyes?

Guest Speaker: John Pisula

President JRP Insurance Alliance, MBA CPCU

Presenting: Prudently Protecting Your Family


After graduating from college looking to teach and coach sports, John soon entered the insurance industry, and now has over 35 years of unique expertise in this field. He also developed his desire for teaching, by being a corporate trainer for 12 years, and more recently teaching Risk Management & Insurance at Broward College.

John has always taken a “highly principled” approach to his work. Whether as a claim representative, or as an independent sales agent with C & C Insurance since 2013, he makes sure to work for the best solutions for his clients. Whether it’s general liability for business insurance, a condo master policy, or homeowner’s and auto insurance, that means advising clients, and prospective clients, not only on the proper coverages, but explaining why the coverages are really important.

John has always been highly involved in community activities. From the Knights of Columbus, to the Alzheimer’s Association, to community boards, John follows his parents’ footsteps of being a Catholic centered individual, working to give back to his community, in a God loving way.
