He is in their midst. They followed him, whether they were hungry or thirsty, fatigue or sick… their focus was on Jesus. They listen to him and his words were magical, so heavenly, comforting, encouraging, above all life giving but Jesus knew that it is also equally important to feed them not only the word of God but also the bread for the body. Feeding Five thousand men, beside women and children is just impossible for the disciples so they approached Jesus and requested him to dismiss the crowd. And Jesus commanded them to give them some food. We come to the Church like the crowd who followed Jesus. We come and listen to him because his words are life giving, but he is also aware that we are hungry not with the material food but with spiritual food. So he feeds us with his body and blood. Thus Jesus said, “Do not labor for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life which the Son of man will give you.”(Jn6:27) He gives us his own body. It is the Sacrament of communion not the sacrament of the Crowd, journey in his footsteps, our unshakable faith in him, our eternal food. In the Gospel, Jesus asks the help from the disciples, likewise, Jesus asks the priest to celebrate Eucharistic celebration. In Jesus command, priest invites the people to sit down and hear the word of God and trusting in his word. Jesus anticipated the Eucharistic celebration by blessing five loaves and two fish. He took the bread and fish Said blessing, Broke them and, Gave them to his disciples to distribute. In the second reading (1Cor11:23-26) St. Paul gives an accurate description of last supper, that is how Jesus blessed the five loaves and two fish and it is how Jesus blessed the wine and bread at the last Supper. It is considered as the oldest account of the last Supper in the Scripture. We long for these real foods that sustain our life, Church’s life and we follow his path, with service, sharing and giving. Little we are but we share becomes wealth. We experience the power Love. Eucharist is the heart of the liturgy and our Christian life, if we remove our heart from our body, how can it be possible that we continue to live? Jesus is the Eucharist at the center of our lives. Is it possible that the Church exists without the Eucharist? He desires that we live each day with him making center of our lives, and the center our Church.

Praise is an important aspect of raising a confident child. When you praise a child, not only do you raise their selfesteem and self-concept but you increase their overall selfworth. One thing you can do is focus on the child and describe what you see. For example, you can say: “You are so patient. That means a lot to your little brother.” For more tips on praising children please email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227. 2016-2017 Registration: Sunday, June 5th 9:00AM-12:00PM Parish Hall _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elevación de la autoestima a través de elogios Los elogios son tan importantes para un niño, así como lo es la comida y el albergue. El elogio es un aspecto importante para criar a un niño seguro de sí mismo. Cuando se elogia a un niño, no sólo se eleva su autoestima y autoconcepto, sino que se aumenta su autovaloración en general. Una cosa que se puede hacer es enfocarse en el niño y describir lo que ve. Por ejemplo, usted puede decir, “Tú eres tan paciente. Eso significa mucho para tu hermanito”. Para más consejos sobre elogios a los niños, por favor enviar un correo electrónico a jvienna@laarchdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7227. al (213) 637-7227. ● Requirements: First Holy Communion ● Baptism Certificate Being in 1st grade or higher as of August 2016 ● $60 per year Confirmation Baptism and Communion certificate Being in 9th thru 11th grade as of August 2016 ● $200 per year ● ● We will no register any one without their proper certificates.

Pearson (347-8407) Mon-Fri, Noon School/Adult Volunteers 5 Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios 29 de Mayo del 2016 Noticias del Programa de Corpus Christi El Evangelio de Lucas 9: 11-17) describe la multitud o multitud que seguía a Jesús. Él está en medio de ellos. Le siguieron, si eran hambre o sed, fatiga o enfermo ... su atención se centró en Jesús. Lo escuchan y sus palabras eran mágicas, tan celestial, reconfortante, alentador, sobre todo, que da vida, pero Jesús sabía que también es igualmente importante para ellos alimentar no sólo la palabra de Dios, sino también el pan para el cuerpo. La alimentación de cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños es simplemente imposible para los discípulos para que se acercaron a Jesús y le pidieron que despedir a la multitud. Y Jesús les ordenó que darles algo de comida. Llegamos a la Iglesia como la multitud que siguió a Jesús. Llegamos y escuchar a él, porque sus palabras son vida que da, pero también es consciente de que no tenemos hambre con la comida material, pero con alimento espiritual. Así que nos alimenta con su cuerpo y sangre. Así, Jesús dijo: "Trabajad, no por la comida que perece, sino por el alimento que permanece para la vida eterna, que el Hijo del Hombre os dará." (Jn6: 27) Él nos da su propio cuerpo. Es el Sacramento de la comunión no es el sacramento de la multitud, el viaje de sus pasos, nuestra fe inquebrantable en él, nuestra comida eterna. En el Evangelio, Jesús pide la ayuda de los discípulos, del mismo modo, Jesús pide al sacerdote para celebrar la Eucaristía. Al mando de Jesús, sacerdote invita a la gente a sentarse y escuchar la palabra de Dios y confiando en su palabra. Jesús anticipó la celebración eucarística al bendecir cinco panes y dos peces. 1. Tomó el pan y los peces 2. Dicha bendición, 3. los partió y, 4. les dio a sus discípulos para distribuir.

Kristy Karrel, Karen Karrel, Dave Karrel and Emerenciana Valencia, Mary Ann Torres, Sylvia Herrera, Leti Gonzalez, David Hunsicker, Pablo Rendon, Raymunda Cortes En la segunda lectura (1Cor11: 23-26) St. Paul da una descripción exacta de la última cena, así es como Jesús bendijo los cinco panes y los dos peces, y es cómo Jesús bendijo el vino y el pan en la última cena. Se considera como la cuenta más antigua de la Última Cena en la Escritura. Tenemos mucho tiempo para estos alimentos reales que sustentan nuestra vida, la vida de la Iglesia y seguimos su camino, con el servicio, compartir y dar. Poco somos pero compartimos convierte en riqueza. Experimentamos el amor de potencia. Eucaristía es el corazón de la liturgia y de nuestra vida cristiana, si quitamos el corazón de nuestro cuerpo, ¿cómo puede ser posible que continuamos viviendo? Jesús es la Eucaristía en el centro de nuestras vidas. ¿Es posible que exista la Iglesia sin la Eucaristía? El desea que vivimos cada día con él haciendo centro de nuestras vidas, y el centro de nuestra Iglesia.
