TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in
today’s scripture readings? Communities of believers
everywhere would support and encourage one another and
be identified as Christians by the way they love each other.
It would be a world with no tears, no death and mourning,
no crying out in pain. “Behold, I make all things new,” we
hear the Son of God say in the second reading from the
book of Revelation (21:5).
Is this world of John’s vision only imaginary? Are these
faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed only a savior’s
dream? Today they are put before us as a worthy goal.
How much closer can we come to this vision of a true
Christian community in our lives today?

As of this date, the St. Mary Church
2016 Mass Intention Book is
completely filled. In order to be able
to continue to offer intentions for the
remainder of 2016, we will now be sending any requests for
intentions and prayers for the living and the deceased to the
Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman, AL.
This is a special ministry of the Sisters and they will pray for
your loved ones during an entire month.
We will still issue cards and are asking for a $5.00 donation for
each intention requested.
Offertory Collection:
April 9/10 $12,618.96
In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives His disciples—
and us—a new commandment: “Love one another.” Good
stewards who spend their time and talents in service to others are
well on their way to fulfilling this commandment.
Next week’s second collection is for the Parish Life Center.
“Mercy will always be greater than any sin, and no one can place
limits on the love of God who is ever ready to forgive.”

VERDADERA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA
¿Te puedes imaginar un mundo tal como nos lo presenta las lecturas bíblicas de hoy? Comunidades de
fieles por todas partes que se apoyan y se animan unas a otras y se identifican como cristianos por el
amor que se tienen unos a otros. Sería un mundo sin lágrimas, sin muerte ni luto, sin gritos de dolor.
"Ahora todo lo hago nuevo", oímos decir al Hijo de Dios en la segunda lectura del libro del
Apocalipsis (21:5).
Este mundo de la visión de Juan, ¿es sólo un mundo imaginario? Y esos fieles seguidores de Jesús por
los cuales él reza, ¿son un mero sueño del salvador? Hoy se presentan ante nosotros como una meta valiosa. ¿Cómo
podemos acercarnos cada vez más a esta visión de una verdadera comunidad cristiana en nuestra vida de hoy?
