3 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales, Jesus says, This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one s life for one s friends. (John 15:12-13) The love that Jesus speaks of is the love of generosity, self-giving, and sacrifice. To love as Jesus loves is to pour out one s life for the sake of others. Jesus teaches us that we find true meaning in life through being instruments of God s mercy, compassion, forgiveness, care, consolation and love in this world. Today is Mother s Day, a day set aside to honor in a special way the women in our lives who reflect God s love and care. We give thanks for our mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers and other women who have nurtured and guided us in countless ways. On this special day, we pray for all mothers. We ask that the Lord reward them for their many sacrifices, and that He continue to shower his blessings upon them. Let s show them how them how much we cherish them, and how much we appreciate all that they do. Happy Mother s Day! God s Blessings, Fr. Jim Schuerman Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales: Jesús nos dice: Este es mi mandamiento: que se amen los unos a los otros como yo los he amado. Nadie tiene amor mas más grande a sus amigos que el que da la vida por ellos. (Juan 15:12-13) Jesús está hablando del amor de generosidad, entrega, y sacrificio. Amar como Jesús nos ama significa dar la vida por otros. Jesús está ensenándonos que podemos amar de verdad siendo instrumentos de la misericordia, la compasión, el perdón, la ternura, y el consuelo de Dios en este mundo. Hoy es el Día de las Madres, un día para honrar de una manera especial a las mujeres en nuestra vida, quienes son para nosotros reflexiones del amor de Dios. Demos gracias a Dios por nuestras madres, abuelas, bisabuelas, y las otras mujeres que nos muestran un amor maternal. En este día especial, oremos por todas la madres. Que Dios las pague por sus muchos sacrificios y continúe bendiciéndolas. Que les mostremos nuestro amor y agradecimiento hoy y siempre. Feliz Día de las Madres! Que Dios los bendiga!
