Queridos amigos:
Ya ha pasado casi un mes desde nuestra celebración de Semana Santa y Pascua. Desde entonces, muchos me han preguntando y me han escrito algo sobre lo que mencioné acerca de la “vida eucarística” en la Misa de la Cena del Señor el Jueves Santo. En aproximadamente un mes celebraremos la fiesta del Corpus Christi –Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo– y a nuestro alrededor, de parroquia en parroquia, celebramos muchas primeras comuniones, así que parece un buen momento para reflexionar sobre este tema.
La celebración de la Primera Comunión en una parroquia proporciona una excelente oportunidad para que reflexionemos sobre el gran don que se nos da en la Eucaristía. ¿Quiénes somos para merecer tan grande don? La respuesta es simple: somos los amados de Dios. Somos aquellos que, pese a no merecer nada, hemos recibido el tremendo don de Dios mismo real y verdaderamente presente, ¡así de grande es su amor por nosotros!
Observe pope’s 60th anniversary: And pray for all priestly vocations
This is the time of year when new priests and deacons are normally ordained. It naturally follows that many priests and deacons also celebrate their anniversaries of ordination.
We know many married couples, too, who are observing wedding anniversaries. Isn’t it wonderful to see couples married 25, 40, 50, and even 60 years or more who are still happy and in love with each other?
It’s just as nice to see priests and deacons who continue to be happy in their service to the Church. We are so fortunate to have these happy, holy men willing to give their lives to follow Christ and serve His people.

What is Eucharistic living?
Dear Friends,
Already it’s been about a month and a half since our celebration of Holy Week and Easter. Since that time, many have asked me to write here a bit of what I mentioned with regard to “Eucharistic living” during the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday.
Is conceal carry proposal necessary?
The right to bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by the Wisconsin Constitution.
But that right, like many others, is not absolute and may be regulated to a certain extent. One such regulation is our state’s current ban on carrying concealed weapons.
Proposal up for consideration
Wisconsin is nearly alone in that regard. For some time this fact has fueled a desire to join other states in permitting citizens to carry a concealed weapon (CCW). Such legislation has passed twice in recent years only to be vetoed by Governor Doyle.
David Johannes to be ordained to diaconate
MADISON — David Johannes will be ordained to the transitional diaconate by Bishop Robert C. Morlino on Friday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel at the Bishop O’Connor Catholic Pastoral Center in Madison.
Johannes has attended St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Colo., for the past six years.
His home parish is the Cathedral Parish in Madison. Johannes graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he was active in the Knights of Columbus at St. Paul’s University Catholic Center. He served as grand knight of the UW council, which won the Most Outstanding College Council Award at the national level for two years.
Through the Knights of Columbus, Johannes became involved as a volunteer with the Apostolate to the Handicapped of the Diocese of Madison. He became a server and commentator on the weekly television Masses sponsored by the apostolate on Channel 3.

Queridos amigos:
Las lecturas del pasado fin de semana incluyeron el hermoso recuento de los Apóstoles cuando eligieron a sus “ayudantes” en su misión de caridad y justicia, y yo también tengo el gozo de acudir este viernes al altar y ordenar, al diaconado transitorio, a David Johannes, quien es simplemente un gran candidato y quien será un diácono y sacerdote sobresaliente.
En el otoño, Dios mediante, Mark Miller también será ordenado diácono en la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma. Él y David serán ordenados sacerdotes juntos en un año. Por favor recen por estos dos grandes jóvenes que asumen ahora su diaconado y llegan al año final de preparación para el sacerdocio.
