Welcome the Visiting Madonna
While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross,
perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful
is to turn to the Blessed Mother for
guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As
human beings, we can’t do everything. But the
Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do
wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate
prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that
every family may experience visitation for one week from our
Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of
peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family
with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If
you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting
Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email
him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Lenny & Joyce Recchia at the 5:00 PM Mass.

A Prayer for Hurricane Season
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble
voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your
order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the
Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger
over which we have no control. During this hurricane season,
we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies
whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to
refuse to heal with the passing of time.
O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to
plead with your Son on our behalf, so that we are spared from
the calamities common to this area, and animated with a true
spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine
Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less
eternity awaits us. Amen.
EVANGELIZATION
R.C.I.A.
The Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults
The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual conversion
and growth, over time, in one’s relationship with God and the
Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into the
Catholic Church. If you’re interested in exploring a relationship
with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic Church;
becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into the Catholic
Church through the celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process, please
contact Deacon Bob at the Church Office.

success of the school and remember: you are always welcome to come and visit us!
The teachers and staff would like to extend a huge thank you to Ms. Sheila Durante as she retires from her

Ms. Durante will be greatly missed by everyone and we wish her the very best as she begins her new
adventure. OLSS parishioners are invited to join us on Thursday, May 26th, at 10 AM in the school hall for our

FIESTA DE LA SANTISIMA TRINIDAD
FIESTA DE LA SANTISIMA TRINIDAD:
PADRE, HIJO Y ESPIRITU SANTO.
(San Juan 16,2-15).
Queridos Hermanos:
Este Domingo celebramos la gran Fiesta de Dios en tres personas distintas:
Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo: Tres personas distintas pero un solo Dios
verdadero. Esta verdad de fe nos envuelve en el gran Misterio de
Dios. Reflexionemos sobre algunos puntos importantes:
1. Jesús parte de este mundo para estar con el Padre Celestial. Los apóstoles se
llenan de tristeza cuando saben que Jesús va a morir, entonces ellos creen que
con la muerte de Jesús, todo llegará a su fin. Sin embargo Jesús les insiste
diciendo: "Me voy a la Casa de mi Padre...Conviene que Yo me vaya...Yo les
enviaré El Espíritu Santo...El les enseñará todo...". Pues para enviar el Espíritu
Santo, es importante que antes, Jesús haya dado la prueba última y definitiva de
amor: Morir por nosotros. El muere por amor. El muere porque nos amó hasta el extremo. Entonces el Espíritu
Santo, ayudará a los Apóstoles a amar de la misma manera como Jesús nos ha amado.
2. Respuesta del Espíritu Santo a la persecución de los Apóstoles y de todos los demás cristianos. El mundo se ha
dado la autoridad así mismo, y ha condenado a Jesús como un criminal. Entonces el Espíritu Santo; abre de nuevo
el proceso para pronunciar una sentencia contraria: Quienes hicieron de jueces son los culpables y el Condenado
tenía razón. El sistema político y religioso de la época de Jesús, no acepta lo que está sucediendo: Los Apóstoles
comienzan a predicar y el número de cristianos empieza a crecer admirablemente. Por lo tanto; comienza la
persecución de los cristianos, que ha perdurado hasta nuestros días. Pero El Espíritu Santo, sigue fortaleciendo con
amor y valentía a todos los cristianos que son asesinados por creer en Jesús. Por esta razón; la mayoría de cristianos
que son asesinados, mueren dando gracias a Dios, al derramar su sangre por amor a Jesucristo. El Espíritu Santo,
continua ayudando a la Iglesia en su tarea evangelizadora, pues todavía falta mucho por hacer. El Espíritu Santo
guiará a la Iglesia siempre, y El nos llevará a la verdad completa.
3. El gran Misterio de Dios. Para muchos quienes se llaman cristianos, tienen un concepto erróneo de Dios. Para
ellos, Dios es un ser nebuloso, gris, sin rostro, un ser escondido, frío e indiferente. Y si les decimos a ellos, que
Dios es Trinidad, quizá no les ayudará a clarificar su fe y quedarían más confundidos. Sin embargo, Jesús nos
invita a todos, a dejarnos iluminar por el Espíritu Santo, para que podamos abrir el entendimiento a la acción de
Dios. Jesucristo nos quiere introducir en el gran Misterio de Dios. Misterio no significa oscuridad; sino
profundidad de amor y vida. Dios es vida, amor y comunión de personas. Dios no es alguien lejano a nosotros. El
está en lo más profundo e íntimo de nuestro ser. En El, vivimos, nos movemos y existimos. Creer en la Trinidad de
Dios: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo; nos ayudará a entender que Dios es comunidad de personas y por lo tanto, es
Comunidad de Amor. Dios es Amor.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a entender el gran
Misterio de Dios: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo; y así, podamos vivir en
comunidad y amor como verdaderos hijos de Dios.
Dios los bendiga.

MARÍA NOS LLEVA AL CORAZÓN DE SU HIJO
Jesús amó tanto a su madre que sus últimos
pensamientos en la cruz fueron para ella. Nos la entregó
como madre nuestra y quiere que la honremos.
“Debemos considerar a María el camino por el que
llegamos a Cristo y así la persona que encuentra a María
necesariamente encontrará a Cristo también” (Mense
Maio, Beato Papa Pablo VI).
Por su “sí”. Sin comprender por completo las intenciones de Dios,
aceptó sin dudarlo convertirse en su madre. Su “sí” hizo posible que
Dios se hiciera humano y fuera crucificado para lograr nuestra
salvación. Seguir el ejemplo de María implica decir “sí” a lo que Dios
pida. Por su sacrificio. ¿No estaría siempre agradecido a alguien
que entregó a su hijo para que usted y sus seres queridos pudieran
vivir? María amaba a su extraordinario hijo y sufrió indeciblemente
cuando él se sacrificó por nosotros. Rezar el Rosario con
regularidad nos recuerda la vida de Jesús y el deseo de su madre
de acercarnos al corazón de su hijo.
