Lectura, as de Hoy Hechos 5:12-16

Salmo 117:1, 2-4, 13-15, 22-24 Apocalipsis 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19

Juan 20:19-31

Fear is mentioned or implied in all three read-

ings today. In the first reading, people held

back from joining these Christians even though

they held them in high esteem. Jesus tells

John in the second reading, “There is nothing

to fear.” In the gospel, the disciples are hiding

for fear and are assured by the appearance of

Jesus.

There is a tremendous amount of fear in con-

temporary society. Fear leads to paralysis and

disaster. When we are afraid we do rash

things; we are easily manipulated. Easter tells

us that we need not fear death. And if we need

not fear death, what could possibly make us

afraid?

One way of carrying the Easter message is in

the assuaging of fear. Do we try to alleviate

fear when we find it or do we add to it? What

part does fear play in our own life and vision of

the world?

Is our church a fearful or hopeful and confident

community? How can we help one another and

our neighbors to cast out fear in the light of

Easter?

El miedo es mencionado o implícito en las tres lec-

turas de hoy. En la primera lectura, las personas

se abstuvieron de unirse a estos cristianos a pesar

de que los tenían en alta estima. Jesús le dice a

Juan en la segunda lectura: "No hay nada que

temer". En el evangelio, los discípulos se esconden

por temor y están seguros de la aparición de

Jesús.

Hay una tremenda cantidad de miedo en la socie-

dad contemporánea. El miedo lleva a la parálisis

y al desastre. Cuando tenemos miedo hacemos co-

sas apresuradas; Somos fácilmente manipulados.

La Pascua nos dice que no debemos temer a la

muerte. Y si no debemos temer a la muerte, ¿qué

nos puede hacer temer?

Una forma de llevar el mensaje de la Pascua es

aplacar el miedo.

¿Tratamos de aliviar el miedo cuando lo encontra-

mos o lo añadimos? ¿Qué papel juega el miedo en

nuestra propia vida y visión del mundo?

¿Es nuestra iglesia una comunidad temerosa o es-

peranzada y confiada? ¿Cómo podemos ayudarnos

unos a otros y a nuestros vecinos a expulsar el

miedo a la luz de la Pascua?
