May God grant this family the strength they need to cope with the loss of their loved one.

Let us keep them in our prayers.

My dear Parishioners, Who doesn’t like something new? Newness about any-thing—anyone —is attractive. Whether it is clothing or a job or a relationship, it’s something we get excited about. I suppose it is because newness fills us with joyful hope. Things are going to be different now when we experience newness; things are going to be better. When I was growing up, Easter was a time for new clothes that we’d wear for the first time to Mass on Easter Sunday morning. Easter, the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection from the dead, was the most perfect of all times to dress up in something new. It still is today. But the dressing up should not be limited to our clothing but focus more importantly on our very persons. For through his passion, death and resurrection, Jesus Christ brings new life to all who believe in him. The Scriptures we read during the Easter season are filled with that kind of newness. We are urged to get rid of the old self and put on the new; to set aside what-ever hinders us from enjoying a deeper relationship with Christ and our neighbor and open ourselves to a new and more exciting, more challenging way of life. This is something we can’t do by ourselves; it is some-thing that the risen Christ accomplishes in us but not without our wanting and willing it. In today’s Second Reading from the Book of Revelations we hear that “The One who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’” (21:5) Some scripture scholars tell us that this does not refer to things but to people. The im-plication being that heaven is not so much a dwelling place but a state of being—”an atmosphere created by the relationships among the saints with one another and with God.” The newness that comes from God never wears out but intensifies throughout eternity. But it has its beginnings here in time in the life of each one of us. If we are one with the Lord who makes all things new, then, we necessarily have to share in that creative task by bringing newness into the lives of others. Easter sea-son — a good time to ask ourselves in this regard: How am I doing? —Fr. Jerome, C.P.

QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA 19 DE MAYO DE 2019

Quinto Domingo de Pascua

Meditemos con la Palabra. “Yo, Juan, vi un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva …, vi la ciudad santa, la nueva Jerusalén..: Ésta es la morada de Dios con los hombres” Ap.21, 1-5 Amar como él nos ama. La comunidad cristiana es signo del cielo nuevo y de la tierra nueva de la cual habla el Apocalipsis. Pero, ¿qué tipo de signo? ¿En qué se debe notar que somos la semilla de la nueva creación? El Evan-gelio de Juan nos presenta a Jesús despidiéndose de sus discípulos y les deja un mandamiento nuevo: Ámense los unos a otros como Yo les he amado. Otra señal del amor de Dios es perdonar a los hermanos –y perdonarme– somos débiles. Vivir el perdón y la reconciliación en el trabajo, en la familia, en la comunidad cristiana es la mejor forma de dar testimonio del amor que nos hace Uno. También está el amor de Dios en aquellos que pasan la vida entera sirviendo a los pobres, enfermos, huérfanos, marginados y moribundos en todos los rincones de la tierra. Tenemos muchos santos en nuestra Iglesia Católica. Recor-demos a San Felipe Neri, fundador del Oratorio, se dedica-ba a educar en la fe a niños y adolescentes pobres que reco-gía de la calle y los llevaba a su casa o a la parroquia para atenderlos en sus necesidades materiales. Con frecuencia tuvo que pedir limosna para poder mantener a sus mucha-chos. En una ocasión, recibió una agria respuesta de parte de un señor muy rico. Como el santo sabía que ése hom-bre poseía bastantes riquezas, insistió y volvió a tocar la puerta de la casa. El señor salió molesto y furioso, lo insul-tó y lo escupió en la cara. San Felipe, sin inmutarse, se lim-pió el rostro y le dijo: "Bien, eso ha sido para mí…Y qué me das para mis muchachos? Propósito. Pidamos al Señor la gracia de asemejarnos cada día más a Él, amando a los demás como Él nos amó a no-sotros hasta el punto de entregar su vida y derramar toda su sangre por nosotros. Si somos cristianos, procuremos vivir como Él vivió. En esto conocerán que somos discípu-los suyos. Para la reflexión. ¿Qué signo crees que es el que nos distin-gue como cristianos? ¿Qué tendríamos que hacer en nuestra comunidad para dar mejor testimonio? ¿Y en nuestra familia? ¿Y en el trabajo?

P. Luis Lopez-Galarza, C.P.
