Can you imagine people of this world being “of one heart and mind” as was the first community of believers? Today’s First Letter of John seems to hold the key to how this can be accomplished. Keeping God’s commandments and loving all of God’s children seems to be the start of being “of one heart and mind.” We live in a world that stresses differences— differences among religions, among races, between genders, and among economic classes. Today we are summoned to focus on what we all share in common on this fragile planet of ours. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:32-35). Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting (Psalm 118). Second Reading — The victory that conquers the world is our faith (1 John 5:1-6). Gospel — Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed (John 20:19-31). LET US PRAY We commend to your prayers our parishioners who are sick at this time and for those who have died, especially Leticia Ayala. Christ departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find him. For he departed, and behold, he is here. —St. Augustine SAINT JOSEPH PARISH CATHOLIC SCHOOL Sunday, 04/12 Friday, 04/17 Saturday, 04/18 7:00 am 8:30 am 8:00 am 8:00am Ralph Brosi † Lawrence Frontella † Mary Belloni † George Karkas † If you would like to offer a Mass please contact the Office.

Recall a recent argument or disagreement and discuss how the conflict was resolved. Consider whether the conflict was resolved peacefully, in the spirit of Jesus. If not, discuss alternatives that might be tried in the future. Recall that we have each received Jesus' gift of the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit helps us to be people who forgive others and seek peace.

La primera carta de san Juan que leemos hoy es la clave que nos dice cómo podemos lograrlo. Si guardamos los mandamientos de Dios y si amamos a todos los hijos de Dios parece ser la base de poder tener un “un solo corazón y una sola alma”. Vivimos en un mundo que recalca las diferencias –ya sean entre religiones, razas, géneros y clases. Hoy se nos pide que nos enfoquemos en lo que tenemos en común en este frágil planeta que ocupamos. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — La communidad de los creyentes compartía todo con el mismo amor (Hechos 4:32-35). Salmo — La misericordia del Señor es eterna. Aleluya (Salmo 118 [117]). Segunda lectura — Si alguien cree que Jesús es el Enviado, ése ha nacido de Dios (1 Juan 5:1-6). Evangelio — Felices los que creen sin haber visto (Juan 20:19 -31).
