even the strongest faith is of no use without works.

News From The Streets…
A Mother’s Prayer
By Mary Martha Primerano
Great to be out again serving your people Lord! While
visiting the people on Jefferson St. (who live in homes
that will soon be demolished) we met a young man named
Elwood (not his real name). We discovered after talking
with Elwood, that he grew up in this neighborhood. After
receiving clothing and a bag of groceries, Elwood sat quietly listening to the daily devotional that was read, and
then asked us what church we attended. He was surprised
to hear that it was the same church he had attended as a
young boy with his mother—the Catholic Charismatic
Center (formally known as St. Nicholas). He remembers
going upstairs to attend the prayer meetings held at the
old church site. When we heard this, we felt like we were
talking to a lost brother-our brother in Christ. We told him
we would like to invite him to Mass as our guest. He said
he would like that. Luke 15 speaks of things that were lost.
The lost sheep, the lost coin, and then the lost son. We
are told that the 99 healthy sheep were left to go after the
1 lost sheep. Today that lost sheep would be Elwood.
Imagine his mother’s heart when her son shares with her
that he will be visiting The CCC. I suppose this is why
God has us return to the same neighborhood. There are
lots of treasures in there, diamonds in the rough if you will.
Matthew 13:45: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a
merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found the
pearls of great value, he went away and sold everything he
had and bought the field where it was found. God is still in
the people business.

PAGINA 6 DOMINGO DE PASCUA , “DE LA RESURRECCIÓN DEL SEÑOR” COLOR BLANCO
“ ÉSTE
LA
DE
20 DE ABRIL DEL 2014
ES EL DÍA DEL TRIUNFO DEL SEÑOR. ALELUYA”
ALEGRÍA
PASCUA
Si queremos, no habrá un solo instante de nuestra
existencia que pueda librarse de la alegría
esplendorosa de Pascua. El verdadero cristiano es
incapaz de vivir al margen de la alegría. Por Cristo
se ha visto introducido e instalado en la alegría,
entregado a la alegría. En su vida no puede ya
existir el fracaso: ni el pecado, ni el sufrimiento, ni la
muerte son para él obstáculos insuperables. Todo
es materia prima de redención, de resurrección, ya
que en el centro mismo de su pecado, de sus
sufrimientos y de su muerte le espera Jesucristo
vencedor. Por eso los mayores sufrimientos y las
mejores alegrías pueden coexistir, íntimamente
unidos en el lecho de una misma vida.
Pero sentimos tantas tentaciones de resistir. Aceptar
creer en la alegría es casi aceptar a renunciar a
nosotros mismos, a nuestra experiencia, a nuestra
desconfianza, a nuestras quejas. Y nuestra alegría es
la medida de nuestro apego a Dios, a la confianza,
a la esperanza, a la fe. Nuestra negativa a la dicha
es nuestra negativa a Dios. Dios ocupa en nuestras
vidas el mismo lugar que la alegría.
Los padres de la Iglesia decían que no hay más que
un solo medio para curar la tristeza: dejar de
amarla. Creer en Dios es creer que Él es capaz de
hacernos felices, de darnos a conocer una vida que
deseamos prolongar por toda la eternidad. Porque,
para muchos de nosotros, la cuestión difícil no está
en saber si tienen fe en la resurrección, sino en
saber si sienten ganas de resucitar, no en esta
pequeña vida nuestra, egoísta, dolorosa y ciega. Si
esto hiciera, el prolongar indefinidamente esa vida,
sería más un castigo que una recompensa.
Por eso, la fe en la resurrección no puede brotar
más que de un amor verdadero. Cristo nos ha
dado a conocer ese amor que no pasa: “La fe y la
esperanza pasarán, pero la caridad vive para
siempre”.
Nuestra fe, nuestra esperanza de resucitar para
nosotros y para los demás, depende
estrechamente de nuestra capacidad de
resurrección, están a la medida de nuestra fuerza
de amar.
Para que podamos experimentar una vida de amor
y de fe, tenemos que morir a nuestras faltas, a
nuestras tristezas y a nuestros resentimientos.
• No existe Pascua para nosotros, si no
aceptamos morir en esa zona de nuestra propia
alma en la que estamos demasiado vivos: en
nuestras agitaciones, nuestros temores,
nuestros intereses, nuestro egoísmo. Y si no
aceptamos resucitar en esa zona en la que
estamos demasiado muertos: resucitar a la paz,
a la fe, a la esperanza, al amor y la alegría.
• No existe Pascua sin una buena confesión: un
morir a nosotros mismos, a nuestros caprichos
que son nuestros pecados, para resucitar a la
voluntad de Cristo, que es amor, esperanza,
renovación, cariño.
• No existe Pascua sin una comunión pascual: un
salir de nuestras costumbres, de nuestro pan y
nuestra vida, para saborear otro pan, otra vida,
un pan de la sinceridad, de entrega a los
demás, una vida de amor, de fe y de alegría.
Eso es la fiesta de Pascua: un cambio de vida, un
pasar de esta vida nuestra a otra admirable,
maravillosa, que será nuestra vida para siempre, en
la casa del Padre celestial.
Meditemos un momento en silencio.
¡Qué así sea!
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu
Santo.
Amén.

LA PALABRA EN TU VIDA
A la luz de la solemnidad más grande de la iglesia y todo
el universo, hoy debemos estar más serenos y felices,
“por qué si hemos muerto con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con Él” (Rom. 6, 8).
¡CRISTO VIVE!
¡CRISTO ESTÁ CON NOSOTROS!
¡CRISTO NOS DA VIDA NUEVA!
