COVID-19 Vaccines & Catholic Morality
(La versión en español sigue al inglés)
Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus tells the parable of the landowner who leases his vineyard to tenants and sends his servants to collect the portion of the harvest that the tenants owe him. The tenants’ rebel against him and kill his messengers and son. This parable points to the failure of Jesus’ own people to accept him. The parable teaches us that God sent prophets, or messengers to teach us how to live as God calls us to live. He sent his son Jesus.
As a family watch video in its entirety than ask each other this question. How is God the owner of the vineyard? God sends people to help us love and obey Him. How do you respond to them?
Family Prayer: God our creator, thank you for making us and sharing your wonderful world with us. Amen

Dear Families,
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus says Heaven is like a rare pearl and so precious we would want to give up everything to have it!
This parable also helps us to realize that to God, we are that pearl. Jesus gave up his very life because he thinks we are precious too.
As a family watch video in its entirety.
The goal of family life is to help each other get to Heaven.
How can you help your family get to Heaven?

Dear Families,
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
This Sunday Jesus tells us a parable. Parables are stories that teach a lesson. He speaks about a sower, a person who plants seeds. This sower throws seeds all over and they land on paths, in rocks and thorn bushes, and on good soil. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is like seed that has been planted on good soil.
As a family, watch video in its entirety, then ask each other. What type of soil do you think your faith is growing in? Do you need to change it? If so, how might you?

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
In this week’s video in the Gospel of John, Jesus prays to the Father for His Disciples. We are His Disciples. What a blessing to know that Jesus prays for us. Jesus is working for, in, and through us.
Thank the Lord for all his works and words. Ask the Lord to show you how to be in the world, but not of the world. Remember to always love one another as He loves you.
As a family, ask each other how are we Jesus’ Disciples? How can you witness to each other that you are a disciple of Christ?
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.

Always, I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
This Sunday’s Gospel of John 20:19-23 takes place on the third day after Jesus died. The disciples were gathered under locked doors for fear of the Jews. Suddenly Jesus appears and said “Peace be with you”. Jesus gave them peace. Jesus is alive! He is Risen!
In the midst of this pandemic, we are experiencing worries, anxieties, problems, disappointments and death. Through emails you have watched videos, read, and live streamed mass in your home re the Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord. Therefore, let us receive His peace, let us rejoice, Jesus is alive, He is risen, He is with us.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and this week’s video is from the Acts of the Apostles. They are gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. Watch the video and take notice of what happens.
Do we at St. Anne’s come from different countries? Do we experience the Holy Spirit at work in our community in many languages? As a family, ask each other how can we proclaim the word of God no matter what language we speak?
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
Siempre, rezo para que este correo electrónico los encuentre a todos bien y orando como familia.
El Evangelio de este domingo Juan 20:19-23 es el tercer día después de la muerte de Jesús. Los discípulos están reunidos bajo puertas cerradas por temor a los Judíos. De repente Jesús aparece y dijo "La paz esté con ustedes". Jesús les dio paz. ¡Jesús está a vivo! ¡Ha resucitado!
En medio de esta pandemia, estamos teniendo experiencias de preocupaciones, ansiedades, problemas, decepciones y muerte. A través de correos electrónicos han visto videos, han leído y transmitidos en vivo las misas en sus casas de la Pasión, Muerte, Resurrección y Ascensión de nuestro Señor. Por lo tanto, recibamos Su paz, regocijémonos, Jesús está vivo, ha resucitado, Él está con nosotros.
Este domingo es domingo de Pentecostés y el video de esta semana es de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Están reunidos en el Cenáculo de Jerusalén. Vea el video y tome nota de lo que sucede.
¿En Santa Ana venimos de diferentes países? ¿Está el Espíritu Santo trabajando en nuestra comunidad en muchos idiomas? Como familia, pregúntense mutuamente ¿cómo podemos proclamar la palabra de Dios sin importar qué idioma hablemos?
Que la paz del Señor este siempre con ustedes.
