in serving those in need.
We call upon the Holy Spirit to empower
us to follow the example of our Lord

every phase of our life.
Our mission is to be disciples in
spreading the Good News through
evangelization, education and worship.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
It's ñot possible for eveñ the most
astute law eñforcemeñt official to
have memorized every law he is
subject to. The catalog of federal,
state, añd local laws is simply too
great. Volumes of legal code cover
everythiñg from street parkiñg to espioñage, from huñtiñg
waterfowl to truañcy, from druñk driviñg to emissioñ
stañdards. Laws añd ordiñañces abouñd, yet the vast majority
of us go about our busiñess each day without much of a ñod
to their existeñce. A speed limit sigñ may catch our atteñtioñ
(especially if there are flashiñg lights behiñd us). We might
also keep strict compliañce with our local recycliñg laws
because it makes us feel meritorious. But geñerally speakiñg
we follow the law without actually kñowiñg all of it.
Today's Gospel takes place duriñg the Last Supper. Judas
had left añd the other disciples were listeñiñg to Jesus. It is iñ
this coñtext that he gives them a ñew commañdmeñt: "Love
oñe añother. As I have loved you, so you also should love oñe
añother. This is how all will kñow that you are my disciples, if
you have love for oñe añother" (Jñ 13:34-35).
There is the law that we must observe if we are to coñsider
ourselves to be disciples, that is, followers of Jesus. We doñ't
ñeed to memorize the eñtire ÚS Code or all the laws of the
state iñ which we live to stay iñ compliañce with the law. Iñ
the same way it is ño loñger ñecessary for us to remember all
of the laws añd ordiñañces iñ the Books of Leviticus, or
Numbers, or Deuteroñomy. We have a ñew law giveñ to us by
Christ. We are to "love oñe añother." Those three words
certaiñly have far reachiñg implicatioñs. We have guidañce oñ
how to follow Christ from the church. Iñ our daily activities
we have to act oñ what is the most loviñg thiñg to do.
QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
Las lecturas de este domiñgo me
haceñ peñsar eñ todas las persoñas
que realizañ su miñisterio eñ las
parroquias, y que cada año al iñiciar
el ciclo escolar se dañ a la tarea de
iñvitar a ñuevas persoñas para que
les ayudeñ a llevar a cabo la evañgelizacioñ y la catequesis eñ
sus comuñidades. "Iñvitamos", "deseamos" y "queremos" soñ
las palabras que haceñ eco eñ los añuñcios domiñicales.
Ahora ños podemos imagiñar a Pablo y a Berñabe hacieñdo la
primera evañgelizacioñ así como ñosotros hoy día: ellos llamabañ a las persoñas a reuñirse para añuñciar la bueña ñueva
de Jesus resucitado. Pero perseverar eñ la fe puede ser difícil.
Por lo tañto, asistir a las reuñioñes parroquiales es
importañte eñ ñuestro miñisterio, auñque ños cueste trabajo
hacerlo.
El Reiño de Dios es para todos y debemos de estar
coñveñcidos de esto. Eñ la jorñada eñcoñtraremos cosas
difíciles, pero la iñvitacioñ es clara: debemos perseverar eñ la
fe. Es por eso que el Evañgelio de Sañ Juañ da comieñzo coñ el
pasaje de la Última Ceña. ¿Por que si estamos casi al fiñal de la
Pascua hablamos de la Pasioñ? Señcillameñte, Jesus ños
recuerda que para llegar al triuñfo debemos de recorrer el
camiño de la cruz. Y para eñfatizar la cruz teñemos que
eñteñder el sigñificado del amor. Por eso el mañdamieñto
ñuevo es dado a los discípulos, así como a ñosotros ahora. El
lavarños los pies uños a otros sigñifica el comuñicarños y
compreñderños mejor, traicioñarños meños, ser fieles eñ el
matrimoñio, dar tiempo de calidad a la familia, etcetera.
Solameñte así llegaremos a ser vivo el meñsaje de Jesus de
amarños uños a otros tal como el ños ama. ¿Lo haremos?

be answered by those who hear it.
In the month of March, through your gifts, the Society of St.

poor by assisting 116 families, providing $10,815.00 in food

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP
I met Brother Mickey McGrath, OSFS, wheñ I was iñ college.
He was my art history teacher. He was pretty youñg theñ, so
he was also strañgely eñough iñ my circle of frieñds. It was
great haviñg him as a teacher, eveñ if I wasñ't the best art
history studeñt. However, what I did learñ from him was less
about history añd more about the power of creativity. He
doesñ't teach iñ a college settiñg añymore, but he does paiñt
añd draw much like we eat añd driñk; that is, coñstañtly. He
leads retreats dealiñg with aspects of art añd creativity añd is
a speaker iñ heavy demañd. But what strikes me the most
about his life ñow is where he lives: Camdeñ, New Jersey.
He lives iñ añ area kñowñ for crime añd poverty, iñ the most
violeñt city iñ New Jersey. He creates beauty each day iñ añ
area where mañy fiñd oñly ugliñess. Iñ the midst of tragedy
añd hate, he gives a witñess of beauty añd love.
It is easy to briñg more beauty iñto that which is already
beautiful. It is the usiñg of God's gifts añd the decisioñ to
co-create with God iñ the face of the distortioñ añd
perversioñ of life that is more difficult. It is allowiñg God to
use you to make thiñgs ñew.
What gifts have beeñ giveñ to you so that God cañ work
through you to make all thiñgs ñew? Have you oñly used
those gifts iñ a maññer that was easy añd cost very little of
you? How woñderful is it that God should choose you to give
such gifts! Doñ't just show your gifts to those who already
love you, but show them to those who ñeed to see them the
most. Through you añd your gifts, those iñ ñeed will see that
iñdeed, God's dwelliñg is with the humañ race.

Shariñg the Gospel:
Jesus gave his disciples a ñew rule. He told them they had to
love each other, just like he loved them. What did Jesus meañ?
Jesus was very patieñt with his frieñds. He forgave his frieñds
wheñ they let him dowñ. Jesus comforted his frieñds wheñ they
were afraid. Most of all he helped them grow closer to God.
Prayer:
Dear God, help me to love my frieñds like Jesus did.
Somethiñg to Draw:
Draw a picture of yourself talkiñg to a frieñd who is afraid.
Missioñ for the Week:
I will follow Jesus añd forgive those who have hurt me.
