ST. JOAN OF ARC - Saint Joan of Arc
ST. JOAN OF ARC APRIL 24TH ,2016 Message from Father Nelson: Dear brothers and sisters, God’s love is radical. Jesus was a radical. Christians are called to be radical. But be aware that it is not that kind of radicalism based on unmerciful and closed hearts and minds. It is not the radicalism of some people that seems more like psychological issues than the real love of God. God’s love radicalism lays on Jesus’ cross and resurrection. God gave up everything for us, He wants to take us back to him. Jesus’ love was radical, all of his words and actions were proof of the love he has for his father. In this context we can understand better why Jesus called us not only to be good, because that is not enough; he called us to be perfect, as God our Father is perfect. In Jesus, by accepting him as our Lord and savior, and by proclaiming our faith to others, we unite ourselves to Jesus, and in that unity we also become one with the Father. We have come to know the Father through the Son. God is love, radical love. As a result, we have no option but to be love for one another. Saint Therese of the Child Jesus understood this perfectly: “O Jesus, my love, at last I have found my calling: my call is love. Certainly I have found my place in the Church, and you gave me that very place, my God. In the heart of the Church, my mother, I will be love, and thus I will be all things, as my desire finds its direction.” Dear family of Saint Joan of Arc, our vocation as individuals, and as community, is to be love. God’s call is to love and in that love to redeem this world so needed of love. We are called to bring the light of Christ over all humankind by the way we live. We certainly must live by the commandments of God that is no other thing than radical love for him and all his children. Are you taking this commandment seriously? Are you loving radically, even your enemy? Are you loving with purity of intention? Are you giving up your pride and selfishness for the sake of love? Are you asking God for love without bringing that love to others? Love unceasingly, love without fatigue, love without reservation, love without seeking to be repaid. Love, just love. That way you will be perfect and pleasing to God.

As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." (JOHN 13:34) It is easy to love someone when they love us back. But it takes courage to love someone when we feel unappreciated, used or feel our opinion doesn’t matter. It takes courage to “love my neighbor” when he/she may be someone I don’t like, someone I don’t know or someone who doesn’t look like me.

Que, como yo os he amado, así os améis también vosotros los unos a los otros." (Juan 13:34) Es fácil amar a alguien que nos ama. Pero hay que tener valor para amar a alguien cuando nos sentimos poco apreciados, utilizados o cuando sentimos que nuestra opinión no es importante. Hay que tener valor para "amar a mi vecino" cuando puede ser alguien que no nos guste, alguien que no conocemos o alguien que no se parece a nosotros.

Con amor y paciencia podemos hacerles entender a los niños acerca del buen comportamiento dentro de la Iglesia. Ayúdemonos unos a otros y mejoremos en nuestro respeto por la casa de Dios.
