Members of God’s Family

Sixth Sunday of Easter (Year A)

“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.” John 14:18–20

The feeling of being an orphan—of longing for belonging—reflects a deeper spiritual reality Jesus addressed with His disciples in today’s Gospel. Those with close families are truly blessed, as a supportive family fosters personal growth and a sense of identity. When one is orphaned, the absence of these natural bonds can leave a lasting sense of loss. Yet even the strongest earthly family relationships point to a greater truth: our ultimate belonging is found in God’s family. Jesus understood the sense of loss His disciples would feel after His Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension. When He said, “In a little while the world will no longer see me…” He was preparing them for His physical departure through the Ascension. But He reassures them: “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you…you will see me, because I live and you will live.” Initially, the disciples struggled to grasp the meaning of these words. Only after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit did they begin to understand. The same promise Jesus made to them applies to us today. Though we were not among those who witnessed His earthly presence, we too have a longing for His nearness—a longing to belong, to be loved, and to find our place within a family. This longing is fulfilled supernaturally through the gift of faith and our incorporation into God’s divine family, the Church. Faith is the key to this relationship. It is more than intellectual belief; it is the acceptance of a personal revelation from God and a choice to live according to that revelation. Jesus promises that those who love Him and obey His commandments will experience His presence and that of the Father. This experience begins through faith, which is a gift by which God communicates Himself to us, revealing His love and will. It is both certain and mysterious, a knowledge that leads us to divine hope and sustains us in the pursuit of God’s will. Faith also unites us with one another. Through faith, we are no longer orphans but brothers and sisters in Christ. Our natural longing to belong finds its ultimate fulfillment in God’s glorious family, which begins on earth and is perfected in Heaven. Reflect today on the desire in your heart to belong, to be loved, and to be part of a family. Recognize that this longing finds its ultimate fulfillment in the family of God. Though we await the fullness of this communion in Heaven, we can experience it even now. Commit yourself to respond to Jesus’ invitation by embracing your place in His family through prayer, the sacraments, and daily acts of love. Recognize that He is in the Father, we are in Him, and He is in us. Embrace this reality, allowing the gift of faith to draw you more deeply into the divine family to which we are called. My revealing Lord, deep within my soul I long for You and desire to be one with You and Your Father through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Please reveal Yourself to me so that I can know You, live according to Your commandments, and flourish in Your grace. May my membership in Your family of faith, through the Church, begin now and become perfected in Heaven. Jesus, I trust in You.

Pray with the Pope: May 2026

The Pope’s Intention May 2026

Pope Leo, in his prayer intention for this month, invites us to pray so that no one is deprived of necessary food and so that we learn to live with greater responsibility, recognizing that the goods of the earth are a gift intended for everyone. He also encourages us to awaken a new conscience, capable of giving thanks, sharing, and caring, promoting a culture of solidarity.

We are in need of ushers, lectors, cantors, sacristans, and more! Our Masses have grown significantly, and we are looking for helping hands and generous hearts from both our English and Spanish communities. We need help maintaining our worship spaces, as well as caring for our parish grounds and office.

We are also forming a ministry for the sick and homebound. This team will spend time with them, offer prayers, and provide companionship, ensuring our most vulnerable members stay connected to their parish family.

If you are interested, please sign up on the list located on the table near the church entrance, or contact the parish office. Thank you for your active service!

Despite the demands of everyday life, God speaks to us, prompting us to serve others, to love more deeply, and to give generously. The ABCD is a way to respond to that call. When we give together, we become a light in the darkness and hope to the hopeless. Join us in this mission. Together, let us do good and seek peace through our support of the ABCD.

We live in a world longing for peace, hope, and healing. The ABCD is how we, as a united Church, bring that light to others. It is not just a charitable effort it is a sacramental expression of God’s love, reaching every corner of our Archdiocese. Let us walk together in generosity. Every gift matters. Join us in supporting the ABCD today.

The Church is not a building, it is a community bound by faith and love. Through the ABCD, we support one another in Christ’s name. We feed, we visit, we teach, we protect. And we do it together. If you haven’t yet made your gift, we invite you to take part in this mission of mercy by making a gift to the ABCD today.

As we hear the Beatitudes proclaimed today, we are reminded that the Kingdom belongs to those who uplift others. Your gift to the ABCD is a Beatitude in action feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and offering dignity to the poor. Let us walk this blessed path together. Do good and seek peace by making a gift to the ABCD today.

Saint Henry

CATHOLIC PARISH

Drawn together by our common bonds of Faith, Hope and Love, we strive to serve God and one another as members of a parish under the Patronage of Saint Henry.

With ardent faith we celebrate the Eucharist, sharing the mystery of Christ's presence in our Holy Communion.

Compelled by the love of Christ, we reach out beyond the walls of our church and minister, not only to members who are unable physically to attend and participate actively in the Liturgy, but also to people near and far, who need our services.
