.Hello Friends,

May 24th, I was ordained to the priesthood at Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral. Many of you were in attendance. The six year priestly formation program has been a transformative experience in my life. Although, I am a "baby" priest, just one month old, I already experience the joy and fruits of my vocation. My first month as a priest has mainly involved celebrating the Sacraments. I celebrated masses of Thanksgiving at St. Anthony in Artesia where I am from originally and St. Elenor in Ruidoso where I lived as an adult. The past two weekends I celebrated all the Masses at St. Elenor and their missions St. Jude while the pastor was on retreat. I have had the opportunities to celebrate the Anointing of the Sick and the Sacrament of Penance too. I began at St. Albert the Great Newman Parish on June 17th as the Associate Pastor, and I am enjoying ministering here and meeting all of you. I am excited about serving this parish community. Thank you for your prayers and support while I was a seminarian and Deacon and I ask for your continued prayers. Know that you are in my prayers too.

Estimados Amigos,

El 24 de mayo fui ordenado sacerdote en la Catedral del Corazon Immaculado de Maria. Muchos de ustedes asisteron. El programa de formacion sacerdotal de seis anos ha sido una experiencia transformadora en mi vida. Aunque soy un sacerdote "bebe", de apenas un mes de edad, ya experimento la alergria y los frutos de mi vocacion. Mi primer mes como sacerdote ha consisido principalamente en celebrar los Sacramentos. Celebre Misas de Accion de Gracias en San Antonio en Artesia, donde soy originalmente y Santa Leonor en Ruidoso, dondde vivi de adulto. Yo tambien celebre y concelebre misas de unes a viernes en esas parroquias.  Los ultimos do fines de semana celebre todos las misas en Santa Leonor y su mision  San Judas mientras el pastor  estaba de retro espirititual. He tenido oportunidades de celebrar tambian  la Uncion de los enfermos y el sacramento de la penitencia. Comence en el Centro San Alberto Gran Newman el 17 de Junio como Pastor Asociado,y estoy disfrutando ministrando aqui y reuniendome con todos ustedes. Estoy emociaonadod por servir a esta comunidad parroquial. Gracias por sus oraciones y apoyo mientras you era seminarista y diacono y sus oraciones continuas. Esta en mis oraciones.

The most holy body and blood of christ

Hello friends,

Today we celebrate our faith in the Eucharist as the Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As we were met with a great mystery last week in the  Feast of the Holy Trinity, Today we celebrate another great mystery: the real presence of Jesus under the form of bread and wine in the Eucharist. I honestly think this mystery is more difficult for many people to accept than the mystery of the Trinity. Yet it is clearly expressed in all four gospels and in St. Paul's letters to the Corinthians.Although the Last Supper account in John's gospel does not include the institiution of the Eucharist, Josh's gospel gives us much epxanded teaching on the Eucharist

Hello friends,

This weekend, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. It has been 50 days since Easter, hence the name Pentecost. It is a day to think of the fire of God's Holy Spirit dwelling within us.

In today's first reading, a selection from the Acts of the Apostle's, you heard the words: "When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit..." the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, is like a wind, like a flame. The Spirit can present itself to you like a strong wind or gentle breeze. Like fire, the Spirit can bring you light and warmth. "Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love." Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the Earth". Each one of you today, all of us together, can be filled with the Holy Spirit. We can be fired up and ready to renew the face of the Earth. At least we can be fired up to renew our small portion of the earth with love.

Hola amigos,

Este fin de semana celebramos el domingo de Pentecostes. Le llamamos Pentecostes porque han pasado ya cincuenta dias desde el domingo de Resurreccion. Asi que este dia es sobre el Espiritu Santo que viene a hacer su morada en nosotros mismos.

En la primera lectura de los Hechos de los Apostoles, escuchamos las palabras: "El dia de Pentecostes, todos  repente se oyo un gran ruido que venia del cielo, como cuando sopla un viento fuerte, que resono por toda la casa donde se encontraban. Entonces aparecieron lenguas de fuego, que se distribuyeron y se posaron sobre ellos; se llenaron todos del Espiritu Santo..." El Espiritu Santos, la tercera Persona de la Santisima Trinidad es como un viento, como una llama. Ya sea como viento o como una brisa suave, el Espiritu Santo se hace presente. Como fuego, el Espiritu puede traer luz y calor. "Ven, Espiritu Santo, Llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor. Envia, Senor, tu Espiritu. Que renueve la faz de la Tierra
