Reflection
from Fr. Irenaeus
The Acts of the Apostles gives a vivid account of
the life of the early Christians. In the days before
his passion and death, Christ prayed for the unity
of the disciples and all Christians. Christ knew
that with unity, they would be able to surmount all
opposition and difficulties and successfully
propagate the good news. When the apostles
started preaching the good news after the
resurrection of Christ and the descent of the Holy
Spirit, they were opposed, criticized, and even
imprisoned, all to discourage them from
preaching the risen Christ and converting people
to the Christian faith. But the disciples were not
discouraged. They remained firm and resolute in
fulfilling the mission entrusted to them. They
were able to do this by the power of the Holy
Spirit and their unity.
The Acts of the Apostles recounts that the early
Christians lived in love and unity. They were
united in one mind and heart and did everything
in common. The love and unity they had was
practically demonstrated and reflected in their
generosity, kindness and concern for one
another. Those that were rich among them gave
generously so that the needy among them would
adequately be cared for and have their needs
met. The early Christian community knew what it
means to be Christians. They did not just talk
about love but lived it. It was this practical love
and unity among them that inspired and drew
many people to join them as Christians. By their
unity, they stood tall and carried on the mission in
the face of opposition, threats and other attempts
to discourage them.
We see this spirit in our parish community. We
are part of a Christian community where people
know each other and have concern for one
another. Parishioners are not just content with
attending mass and other parish activities but
interact with one another and are involved in
various ministries of service for the good of the
parish and the benefit of fellow parishioners. This
is indeed the kind of Christian community Christ
prayed for and which the apostles and early
Christians maintained. In this parish, we truly live
like the early Christian community and fulfill the
mandate of Christ to live in unity and love.
Thank You
I wish to give a very special thank you to all of
our parishioners who donate food to the food
pantry on a regular basis. Please be sure to
check the dates on all cans and packages so
we are not giving food that is out of date.
Thank you and may God bless us all. Deacon
Marty.
The Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship Appeal
If you are prepared, please make your
donation soon. You may deposit it in the
collection basket or mail it to the Archdiocesan
Office. So far, 149 parishioners have pledged
over $33,000 and paid over $24,000,
continuing the good start we made in the
beginning.
The size of your gift is less
important than the fact that you make a gift.
We would like to increase our percent
participation this year. Please join us. Your
generosity is greatly appreciated.

3er DOMINGO DE PASCUA.
LECTURAS PARA EL DIA DE HOY:
1 Lectura: Hch 3,13-15.17-19: Mataron al
autor de la vida, pero Dios lo resucitó.
2 Lectura: 1Jn 2,1-5: Él es víctima de
propiciación por nuestros pecados
Evangelio: Lc 24,35-48: El Mesías
padecerá y resucitará al tercer día.
“Mirad mis manos y mis pies; soy yo mismo”
Abril 19-2115
Para ser testigos, por tanto, del auténtico Cristo, es
urgente que los discípulos aprendan en primer
lugar a reconocer su Cuerpo marcado por la
pasión. Precisamente, un autor antiguo nos hace la
siguiente recomendación: «Todo aquel que sabe
que la Pascua ha sido sacrificada para él, ha de
entender que su vida comienza cuando Cristo ha
muerto para salvarnos». Además, el apóstol tiene
que comprender inteligentemente las Escrituras,
leídas a la luz del Espíritu de la verdad derramado
sobre la Iglesia.
ANUNCIOS:
Hoy, el Evangelio todavía nos sitúa en el domingo
de la resurrección, cuando los dos de Emaús
regresan a Jerusalén y, allí, mientras unos y otros
cuentan que el Señor se les ha aparecido, el
mismo Resucitado se les presenta. Pero su
presencia es desconcertante. Por un lado provoca
espanto, hasta el punto de que ellos «creían ver un
espíritu» y, por otro, su cuerpo traspasado por los
clavos y la lanzada es un testimonio elocuente de
que se trata del mismo Jesús, el crucificado:
«Mirad mis manos y mis pies; soy yo mismo.
Palpadme y ved que un espíritu no tiene carne y
huesos como veis que yo tengo».
«Haz brillar sobre nosotros la luz de tu rostro,
Señor», canta el salmo de la liturgia de hoy.
Efectivamente, Jesús «abrió sus inteligencias para
que comprendieran las Escrituras». Es del todo
urgente. Es necesario que los discípulos tengan
una precisa y profunda comprensión de las
Escrituras, ya que, en frase de san Jerónimo,
«ignorar las Escrituras es ignorar a Cristo».
Pero esta compresión de la palabra de Dios no es
un hecho que uno pueda gestionar privadamente,
o con su congregación de amigos y conocidos. El
Señor desveló el sentido de las Escrituras a la
Iglesia en aquella comunidad pascual, presidida
por Pedro y los otros Apóstoles, los cuales
recibieron el encargo del Maestro de que «se
predicara en su nombre a todas las naciones».
