Reflexión Semanal
Weekly Reflection
Joyously seeking reconciliation
Gozosamente buscando la reconciliación
Today’s readings and prayers continue last week’s
theme of Reconciliation. In the first reading, Peter invites the early community to repent from their earlier
denial of Christ. He reminds them that if they ask for
forgiveness, “their sins [will] be wiped away.” The responsorial psalm describes the graces God gives to his
children who call upon him, “the light of his countenance will shine upon them, he will put gladness into
their hearts, and [they] will fall peacefully asleep.” In
his letter, John reinforces Peter’s words by reminding
the community that “Jesus Christ, the righteous one,” is
“an Advocate with the Father.” Luke explains Jesus’
role as the advocate when he recounts Jesus’ visit after his resurrection. Jesus walks into the room offering
“Peace.” He shows the disciples that his is indeed a
glorified body and invites them to touch and see,
“because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as
you can see I have.” After he eats he “opens their
minds to understanding the Scriptures.” He exhorts
that “repentance for the forgiveness of sins be
preached in his name to all nations.” All the readings
speak to the power of reconciliation. Jesus knows our
human nature first hand and that we will trip and stumble on our journey of faith. How often do we become
discouraged and crestfallen as we negotiate our daily
lives? Jesus’ Easter gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation renews and brings
many graces and blessings
that fortify us and provide
us the strength and courage
to pray that, “rejoicing now
in the restored glory of our
adoption, we may look forward in confident hope to
the rejoicing of the day of
resurrection” (The Collect).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy continúan el tema
de la semana pasada sobre la Reconciliación. En la
primera lectura, san Pedro invita a la comunidad a arrepentirse de anteriormente haber rechazado a Cristo.
Les recuerda que si piden perdón, “sus pecados serán
perdonados.” En el Salmo responsorial se describe la
gracia que Dios da a sus hijos quienes le proclaman,
“En paz, Señor, me acuesto y duermo en paz, pues
solo tú, Señor, eres mi tranquilidad.” En su carta, san
Juan da fuerza a las palabras de san Pedro al recordarle a la comunidad que “Jesucristo, el justo” es el
“intercesor ante el Padre.” San Lucas explica el papel
de Jesús como intermediario al describir la visita de
Jesús después de su resurrección. Jesús entra en el
cuarto y ofrece la paz. Les demuestra a los discípulos
que su cuerpo verdaderamente esta glorificado y los
invita a que lo toquen y vean, “Un fantasma no tiene ni
carne ni huesos, como ven que tengo yo.” Después de
comer les “abrió el entendimiento para que comprendieran las Escrituras.” Los exhorta a que en su nombre se
había de “predicar a todas las naciones«la necesidad
de volverse a Dios para el perdón de los pecados.” Todas las lecturas hablan del poder de la reconciliación.
Jesús conoce nuestra naturaleza humana por experiencia y que tropezaremos en nuestra jornada de fe.
¿Cuántas veces nos desilusionamos y nos sentimos sin humor al negociar nuestras vidas diarias? En la Pascua Jesús nos regala el sacramento de la Reconciliación, nos renueva y nos
trae la gracia y las bendiciones que nos fortifican y nos dan la fuerza y el valor de decir en la
Oración Colecta que nos regocijamos en la gloria restaurada por la adopción, y podemos esperar confiados en el regocijo de la resurrección.

We serve at College United Methodist Church, 4300

about 150 guests each week. The program is selfsupporting and thus, relies on our dedicated volunteers
along with both monetary and food donations from our
generous parishioners.
The Holiday Food Basket Committee would like to thank
all who made the 2015 Easter Food Baskets event such a
success. The food and monetary donations that were
received as well as the time from volunteers were vital to
the success of the event, and is truly appreciated. We
were able to assist 660 people
who were in need of help over
the holiday season, all receiving food from our parish.
Thank you all for your contributions, and God bless you for
all your generosity.
Next Sunday, April 26, our Sunday second collection will
be donated to the Many Meals program. These funds
will be used to purchase the things required to provide
the meal each week. This includes purchasing the meat
for the main meal each week as well as food and beverage items that are not donated along with paper products, kitchen supplies, cookware, office supplies, monthly facility rental costs, etc.

Celebremos los 50 días de Pascua
Es la Pascua, el paso, la victoria
del Señor. Sabemos, por los
Evangelios, que Cristo se apareció
a sus seguidores durante 40 días y
luego ascendió a los cielos.
Pasados 10 días, los primeros
discípulos recibieron el Espíritu Santo. La Iglesia celebra
este acontecimiento con 50 días de fiesta, de canto, de
esperanza. Es el tiempo del "aleluya", del grito que invita
una y otra vez a alabar y dar gracias al Señor, "porque es
eterna su misericordia”. Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!
