SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES

Sunday, May 4th: Third Sunday of Easter
Monday, May 5th: Cinco de Mayo
Saturday, May 12th: St. Damien de Veuster



Today's Gospel has some surprises for the disciples going to Emmaus. The first is that Luke tells us Jesus appeared to them,
"but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him" (Luke 24:16). Now I don't think Jesus was wearing glasses like Clark
Kent. More likely, they were prevented by their lack of faith. They knew that Jesus had died, so this man who looked familiar
couldn't be him. All they had heard was that Jesus' body was missing from the tomb. Luke says they were debating, as if they
couldn't decide what to believe. That leads to the second point. No, they were not surprised that the stranger could quote
scripture. Most Jewish men were familiar with the scriptures, but they were amazed at how Jesus explained them. Even the
disciples had not thought of them as predicting Jesus' suffering and death. Yet they seem to know the truth of what Jesus
was saying. Their hearts were burning with the fire of the Holy Spirit, who helped them to understand the new meaning of
scripture. Their story can help us, too. If you find you are not always able to see Jesus in the people or events of your life,
you may need to stretch your faith. One way to do that is to discuss it with others. The two disciples were stretching their
faith as they discussed what they had heard. Even better, debate it with someone who doesn't believe. (Remember to keep
it friendly.) You may not convince them to change, but your faith will grow as you learn to express it. Another way to stretch
your faith is to read and pray over the scriptures. Ask what God is trying to tell you in them. The disciples on the way to Em-
maus began to see how Jesus fulfilled the promises found there. Passages that may have been mysterious before began to
become clear when applied to Jesus. Ask God to help you see Jesus in other people. Receive Jesus in Communion as often as
you can (at least once a week). Trust him and expect to see Jesus both in the people around you and in the changes that
come into your life. The more you look for Jesus, the easier it is to see him.

Walk with us, Lord, along the road of resurrection!
Explain for us, so slow to believe, the things that Scripture says of you.
Break the bread of the Eucharist with us whenever we share our lives with our brothers and sisters.
Stay with us each time night approaches and the daylight fades in our hearts!
From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss

Do you enjoy gardening?
Corpus Christis Rose Garden
needs some helping hands
Help needed to keep the rose garden blooming. Roses need to
have the spent blossom removed so new blossoms will follow
quickly. About one hour a week, a pair of clippers and gloves is
all that is needed. I will train that person for the task.
Contact Ben Manfre at 949-360-9242 or
Chris Bonk at 949-916-5314.

Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32
How often do we take the time to see what Jesus wants from us? Are our prayers always petitions, asking Jesus to do things for
us? If so, thats a one-sided relationship. Living our faith means developing a personal relationship with Jesus. So, just like any
friendship with another person, there is give and take, each side listening to other and helping each other out. Take time in silence
to listen to what Jesus is saying to you.

A Message from the Diocese of Orange and The State Bar of California

The Diocese of Orange is working with The State Bar of California in an effort to protect our parishioners
and local immigrant communities from fraudulent and predatory immigration and naturalization service
offerings tied to federal Immigration Reform.

Luis J. Rodriguez, State Bar president, has made this fraud prevention project one of his priorities,
which the diocese supports. Mr. Rodriguez states in a memo released to partner organizations:


Please be aware that at this time there is no Immigration Reform. Do not give your hard-earned
money to a lawyer or notary public for this purpose. It is against the law for them to take money
for Immigration Reform because it does not exist at this time.

If you have given money to a lawyer or notary public for this purpose, please immediately report
them to The State Bar of California and we will work to get your money back. You can file a report
by calling toll-free 1-866-879-4532 or visit us at Calbar.org/espanol.
