  • Reflections ~ Reflexiones GGoossppeell:: LLuukkee 2244::3355--4488 This reading from Luke's Gospel could be called "The Ghost Story That Wasn't." Two disciples who had just met the risen Jesus on the road are telling their story to the other disciples. Then right in the middle of their story, Jesus appears and says, "Peace be with you." The frightened disciples think they are seeing a ghost. Jesus has to show them his wounds and even eat a piece of fish to prove that he is real. The good news is so good that the disciples find it hard to believe at first. Because they are still not sure what to make of him, Jesus explains how he has fulfilled the Scriptures by his suffering, death and resurrection. In his name, they will go out to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins for all people.

    1.) The two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus also did not recognize Jesus until they shared a meal with him. How does the gospel say they came to know him? How do we know him in that same way?

    EEvvaannggeelliioo:: LLuuccaass 2244::3355--4488 Esta lectura del Evangelio de Lucas puede llamarse "La historia del fantasma que no era fantasma". Dos discípulos que se encontraron con el Señor resucitado en el camino contaban la historia a otros discípulos. Cuando contaban la historia se aparece Jesús diciendo: "La paz sea con ustedes". Los aterrados discípulos piensan que han visto a un fantasma. Jesús tiene que mostrar sus heridas y comer un pedazo de pescado para probar que él es real. La buena nueva es tan fabulosa que los discípulos encuentran difícil creerla. Como no saben que hacer, Jesús les explica como en él se cumple la Escritura, sufriendo, muriendo y resucitando. En su nombre ellos predicarán el arrepentimiento y el perdón de los pecados a todo el mundo.

    1) ¿Por qué crees que los discípulos, de la época y ahora, no siempre entienden la Escritura? Piensa en una vez en que tuviste una experiencia "Eureka", de captar realmente lo que significa la palabra de Dios. ¿Cómo fue?

    Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco HHEE IISS RREEAALL Fundamental to us as Christians is our belief that Jesus Christ really died on the cross, that he was truly raised from the dead, and that he will return at the end of time as he promised. It is clear from today's Gospel reading that the risen Jesus was not a disembodied spirit, or an illusion of the grief-stricken disciples. On that first Easter the disciples, as witnesses to Jesus' death, were overwhelmed with joy to see him risen to new life. When Jesus appeared among them he told them he was no ghost, and to prove his reality invited them to touch his hands and feet. Then he asked for a piece of baked fish and ate it in front of them. After this reassurance Jesus went on to explain to them once more how his death and resurrection were foretold in the scriptures. At this point he did not pose complicated questions to test their understanding; instead, he gave them a task: to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins "to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem" (Acts 24:49). Stop and think. This is not "Give a few hours of your time, and we'll consider you've done your part." What Jesus was giving them was an all-consuming, life-long mission. They were his chosen followers, his disciples, but now the time for learning was over. They must become apostles, the ones sent on a mission. Every time we come together to celebrate the Eucharist, we are offered the love of God through word and sacrament. We are reminded of God's saving deeds and wonderful promises, and we are given food for the journey. Finally, we are urged to go forth to love and serve the Lord. What mission is Christ calling you to fulfill, that only you can do? CCooppyyrriigghhtt ((cc)) 22001111,, WWoorrlldd LLiibbrraarryy PPuubblliiccaattiioonnss.. AAllll rriigghhttss rreesseerrvveedd..

    ÉÉLL EESS RREEAALL Es algo fundamental para nosotros los cristianos creer que Jesús verdaderamente murió en la cruz, que verdaderamente él resucitó de entre los muertos y que él vendrá al final de los tiempos tal como lo prometió. Queda muy claro en el Evangelio de hoy que Jesús resucitado no era un espíritu sin cuerpo ni ilusiones de unos discípulos apesadumbrados. En esa primera Pascua los discípulos, que habían sido testigos de la muerte de Jesús, se llenaron de gozo ahora por verlo glorioso en una vida nueva. Cuando Jesús se les apareció les dijo que él no era un fantasma y para probarlo los invitó a que tocaran sus manos y sus pies. Después les pidió un pedazo de pescado y lo comió delante de ellos. Una vez tranquilos, Jesús les empezó a explicar una vez más cómo su muerte y resurrección habían sido predichas en las Escrituras. A estas alturas Jesús no les hizo preguntas complicadas para probar el entendimiento de ellos, sino que más bien les dio una tarea: ir a predicar el arrepentimiento y a perdonar los pecados "a todas las naciones, comenzando por Jerusalén" (Hechos 24:49). Esta tarea no fue: "den unas pocas horas de su tiempo y ya habrán hecho su parte". Lo que Jesús les estaba dando era una misión absorbente y de por vida. Ellos eran sus seguidores escogidos, sus discípulos, pero ahora el tiempo de aprendizaje se había terminado. Ellos deben hacerse apóstoles, enviados a una misión. Cada vez que nos reunimos para celebrar la Eucaristía se nos ofrece el amor de Dios por medio de la palabra y el sacramento. Además se nos recuerda la acción salvífica de Jesús, sus maravillosas promesas, y se nos da el alimento para el camino. Por último, se nos encomienda la tarea de ir a amar y servir a Dios. ¿Qué misión te encomienda el Señor, que sólo tú puedes llevar a cabo?

    Throughout the Easter season, all three of the Sunday readings are taken from the New Testament—the Christian scriptures. Together they explore what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the One who fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish scriptures. Today’s selections refer to our human weakness, yet they emphasize the forgiveness and peace that are available to those who put their faith in “Jesus Christ the righteous one” (1 John 2:2). In the Acts of the Apostles Peter invites everyone to “repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away” (Acts 3:19). The First Letter of John calls Jesus Christ “expiation for our sins” (1 John 2:2). Finally, in the Gospel Jesus greets the disciples with “Peace” and urges them to preach “repentance, for the forgiveness of sins” (Luke 24:47). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

    TTRREEAASSUURREESS FFRROOMM OOUURR TTRRAADDIITTIIOONN There are many ways in which religious communities are organized. Some have a central authority in a congregation, and others have a “rule” that is shared by all the members, but are a kind of federation of independent houses. Sometimes, congregations with distinct histories and ministries decide to merge. Several years ago, one of the largest mergers on record took place. Seven independent congregations of Dominican women religious, most in the Midwest, are now one new congregation enfolding more than seven hundred members spanning thirty-six states. The oldest of the founding groups, the so-called “Kentucky Dominicans,” began as a frontier community in 1822. Other communities have European roots. To get to this historic moment, the sisters spent many years in conversation, and approved the new structure by a two-thirds majority vote. This was then ratified by the Holy See. The merger allows the sisters to pool their resources in order to be more effective in ministry. They are living the Paschal Mystery, experiencing Christ’s dying and rising in an inspiring way. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

    CCRREEEERR EENN JJEESSUUCCRRIISSTTOO Durante todo el Tiempo Pascual, las tres lecturas del domingo son tomadas del Nuevo Testamento, la parte cristiana de la Sagrada Escritura. Juntas exploran qué significa creer que Jesús es el Cristo, aquél que cumplió las profecías de la Sagrada Escritura judía. Las selecciones de hoy aluden a nuestra debilidad humana; sin embargo, hacen hincapié en el perdón y la paz que son posibles para quienes tienen fe en “Jesucristo, el Justo” (1 Juan 2:2). En los Hechos de los Apóstoles, Pedro nos dice a todos “arrepiéntanse y conviértanse, para que se borren sus pecados” (Hechos 3:19). La primera carta del apóstol san Juan dice que Jesucristo es “víctima de expiación por nuestros pecados” (1 Juan 2:2). Por último, en el Evangelio, Jesús saluda a los discípulos diciéndoles: “Paz” y los insta a predicar “la necesidad de volverse a Dios y el perdón de los pecados” (Lucas 24:47). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

    TTRRAADDIICCIIOONNEESS DDEE NNUUEESSTTRRAA FFEE En 1563 el Concilio de Trento estableció que todos los católicos debían recibir la comunión por lo menos una vez al año, de preferencia, durante el Tiempo de Pascua, los 50 días desde la Pascua Florida a la Pascua de Pentecostés. En Chile los sacerdotes en siglos pasados llevaban la Eucaristía a todos aquellos que no pudieron asistir a Misa en la Pascua Florida. Comenzando con el Segundo Domingo de Pascua y acompañados de huasos (vaqueros) quienes los protegían de bandidos llevando el Sacramento en cálices de plata por toda la región. Esto llegó a llamarse Cuasimodo, en base a la frase inicial de la Misa del Segundo Domingo de Pascua: Quasi modo géniti infantes (Casi como recién nacidos). Hoy día la fiesta también es conocida como “correr a Cristo,” por el hecho de llevar a Cristo en carretas decoradas por las calles de los pueblitos mientras los niños corren por delante gritando “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” De esta manera los niños anuncian la venida de Cristo, algo que todo cristiano debería hacer con hechos y palabras todos los días de año. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
