Women’s Council
Members of St. Catherine's
Let us reflect on the beauty of springtime and all the blessings we receive each day. As we enjoy
the splendors of nature and the joy of this Easter Season in this year of Mercy, let us also be mindful
and reflect on how we have been able to be in this moment through our Lord and Saviors sacrifice
for us.
Augustine of Hippo (430-543 A.D) who comments on those who stood at the cross of Jesus:
"As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see
his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the
scars of his resurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made
bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption. Ponder how
great these things are. Let all this be rightly weighed in your mind: as he was
once fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be
fixed in every part of your soul."
Now that you have reflected and meditated on this, enjoy the sounds and sights of this beautiful
springtime, as we move forward in our journey of love and life.
Your SCCCW President,
Rosemary Watson

UNIRSE A LA COMUNIDAD DE CREYENTES
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
¿Qué te ayudará a tener fe? Las lecturas bíblicas de
hoy hablan de la fe y de la duda. Se “escribieron… para
que ustedes crean”, como nos dice hoy el pasaje del
Evangelio de san Juan (20:31). Tiene esto una cierta urgencia. En este Segundo Domingo de Pascua se nos lanza un desafío a unirnos a la comunidad de creyentes –un
sinnúmero de hombres y mujeres que dan testimonio del
poder de la fe de los Apóstoles.
La Iglesia católica es universal, extendida
en diversas naciones y culturas. A través de
los siglos estas culturas han enriquecido la
Tradición de la Iglesia con muchas tradiciones
y devociones que van más allá de su cultura de
origen. La fiesta de la Divina Misericordia es
un buen ejemplo. Viene de una devoción que
nació en Polonia con la Hermana Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) canonizada en el 2000.
La devoción a la Divina Misericordia se
celebra el Segundo Domingo de Pascua y durante todo el año orando la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia. En latinoamérica se ha ido
extendiendo esta devoción desde 1978 cuando
fue aprobada por el Papa Paulo VI. En todas
partes se puede encontrar la imagen de la Divina Misericordia, Jesús de pie con rayos rojos
y blanco-azules que brillan desde su corazón
hacia el mundo. Lleva el lema: Jesús, confío
en ti.
No hay duda que este poder viene de Jesucristo. La
segunda lectura, del libro del Apocalipsis, relata la visión
mística de Juan sobre el Hijo del Hombre, el cual proclama: “Estuve muerto y de nuevo soy el que vive” (Apocalipsis 1:18). El Evangelio reúne a todos excepto a Tomás para ver a Jesús resucitado y recibir de él
el Espíritu Santo. Al igual que Tomás, los que hemos
llegado más tarde debemos tener fe para poder tener
vida.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
3 de abril de 2016
Segundo Domingo de Pascua o
Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
El año pasado en este domingo, el Papa Francisco anunció
este año como Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. San Juan Pablo
II nombró al Segundo Domingo de Pascua “Domingo de la
Divina Misericordia” en respuesta a la devoción de la Divina
Misericordia de santa Faustina Kowalska que ofrece consuelo
espiritual a los corazones en todo el mundo. Pero el Papa Francisco nos desafía a hacer que el consuelo que recibimos como
don lo compartamos con alegría “se nos llama a mostrar misericordia porque la misericordia primero se nos mostró a nosotros”. La expresión más clara del amor misericordioso, dice el
Papa Francisco, es perdonando a quienes nos ofende.
“¡Algunas veces parece difícil perdonar!” él lo reconoce. “Sin
embargo, el perdón es el instrumento que está en nuestras manos frágiles para tener un corazón sereno”. ¿Cuál es la condición necesaria de un amor jubiloso? “Dejar de ir al rencor, la
ira, el coraje, la violencia, la venganza.” Que el Domingo de la
Divina Misericordia este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos
recuerde que Jesús hizo misericordioso nuestro ideal de vida y
discernimiento para nuestra fe. “Dichosos los misericordiosos,
por que ellos mostraran misericordia” (Mateo 5:7).
—Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
La finalidad de esta devoción es recordar
al pecador que la misericordia de Dios es infinita e inagotable. Es una misericordia que debemos imitar para que la paz pueda reinar en
nuestros corazones y en nuestra tierra.
