A Mother’s Love:
A Choice That Demands
You may not have heard the story of Princess Alice, the second
daughter of Queen Victoria of England. The princess married and
had a child, a baby boy. When the child was four, he came down with a terrible
disease, at the time called black diphtheria. It was highly contagious. There was
no cure and no hope. The doctors and nurses told the princess that she had to stay
away from her son. Her own health was frail. One day, as she stood at the door of
her little boy’s room, she heard him whispering to a nurse, “Why doesn’t my
Mommy hold me and kiss me anymore?” That was more than Princess Alice
could bear. She then did what any loving mother would do. She ran to her son’s
bed, hugged him and kissed him. She had no choice. She had to show her love.
He needed her. Within weeks she came down with the sickness. Both were buried
together.
Today, we celebrate Mother’s Day. It is good that we take the time to remember and thank our mothers who do so much for us. One can only imagine how
much sacrifice a mother does for her family. Her love comes from a dedicated
heart that she gives to her family: a love that overcomes pain, sorrow and hardship
to care for those she has chosen.
Let us pray for all our mothers and do take the time to say, “Mom, I love you.”
Peace,

12 years of age - My Mother doesn’t really know quite everything.
14 years of age - Naturally, Mother doesn’t know that either.
16 years of age - Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 years of age - That old woman? She’s way out of date!
25 years of age - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 years of age - Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
45 years of age - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from John’s Gospel in which Jesus uses the metaphor of the
vine and the branches. In that passage we were told that if we remained in Christ we would bear much fruit.
Today’s Gospel tells us just what that fruit is: love. Today’s second reading and Gospel together create a great
hymn to love. The chorus of this hymn is simple - God loves us so much that Jesus was sent into the world so
that we would have life. The Lord Jesus, who last week told us to remain in him, this week tells us to remain in
his love. In a world marked by division and terrorism, the Lord’s final words in today’s Gospel are a great
challenge: “This I command you: love one another.”

ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS
El domingo pasado escuchamos el familiar pasaje del Evangelio de san Juan en el que Jesús usa el símbolo
de la viña y las ramas. En ese pasaje escuchamos que si permanecemos en Cristo daremos mucho fruto. El
Evangelio de hoy nos dice cuál es ese fruto: el amor. La segunda lectura de hoy junto con el Evangelio crean
un gran himno de amor. El coro de este himno es sencillo –Dios nos ama tanto que envió a Jesús al mundo para que tuviéramos vida. El Señor Jesús que nos dijo la semana pasada que permaneciéramos en él, esta semana
nos dice que permanezcamos en su amor. En un mundo marcado por las divisiones y el terrorismo, las últimas
palabras del Evangelio de hoy son un gran reto: “Esto es lo que les mando: que se amen los unos a los otros”.
