Divine Mercy Sunday
“Padre Bill”
“The Blessing is for Us”
“La Bendición es para Nosotros”
El Evangelio de San Juan nos presenta hoy a Jesús
entregando a sus discípulos el Espíritu Santo. Jesús los
saluda con el saludo de los judíos “Shalóm” …un saludo
de paz. Les muestra sus heridas y son comisionados
….…con el poder del Espíritu Santo son enviados a
continuar la misión de Jesús. Pero, uno de ellos está
ausente; y, al regresar al grupo, Tomás tiene dificultad
creyendo los que los demás le cuentan.
Esa duda es borrado cuando Jesús regresa el próximo
domingo, e invita a Tomás a tocar sus heridas. Para Juan, y
para nosotros, el momento importante es esta narración no es el
recibir el Espíritu Santo, no la crisis de fe de Tomás. El
momento importante es cuando Jesús ofrece su bendición a
nosotros: “Dichosos los que creen sin haber visto.” Esta
bendición es para nosotros. Que sigamos celebrando nuestra fe
pascual y las bendiciones que nos trae, y esas bendiciones que
debemos estar llevando al mundo que nos rodee.
Today’s Gospel of St. John presents the narrative
of the Jesus bestowing the Holy Spirit upon his disciples. Jesus greets them with the Jewish greeting
“Shalom” ..a greeting of peace. They are shown his
wounds and they are commissioned …….empowered
with the Holy Spirit that are sent to continue his mission. But, one of them was missing; and, upon his
return, Thomas has a hard time believing what the others are
telling him.
That doubt is erased when Jesus returns on the following Sunday, and he invites Thomas to touch his wounds. For
John, and for us, the important moment in this narrative is not
the bestowing of the Holy Spirit or Thomas’s crisis of disbelief. The important moment is when Jesus offers his blessing
on us: “Blessed are those who have not seen and have
believed.” The blessing is for us. May we continue to celebrate our Easter faith and the blessings it brings to us, and
WHAT WE BELIEVE
(this article explains one aspect of our Catholic Faith)
The Real Presence
The risen Lord is present in the preaching of the Word, in the assembly of the faithful who make up his Mystical body,
in the administration of all the sacraments, in the person of the one who is administering the sacraments.
But the Church recognizes a very special presence of the risen Lord in the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist.
It calls this presence “the real presence.”
What makes it more “real” than the other ways in which Christ is present to his Church?
The substance, or the essence of the bread and wine are changed into the Body and
Blood of Christ. The appearances of the bread and wine remain the same before and
after their consecration. We can use our senses to identify the look, feel, taste, smell of
bread. But our senses cannot see, feel, taste or smell the underlying substance or
essence of the bread, the “bread-ness”of it.
After the consecration the “bread-ness” is no longer there.
The appearances remain the same.
Our senses cannot perceive any difference.
But the “bread-ness” the substance or essence of bread, is gone.
What we experience with our senses is the eating of bread; what we receive is the presence of the risen Christ.
It’s the real sacramental presence of this risen Lord.

"
cho días después, estaban reunidos los discípulos a puerta
cerrada y Tomás estaba con ellos.
Jesús se presentó de nuevo en medio
de ellos y les dijo: "La paz esté con
ustedes". Luego le dijo a Tomás:
"Aquí están mis manos; acerca tu
dedo. Trae acá tu mano, métela en mi
costado y no sigas dudando, sino
cree".
- Jn 20, 26-27

Leccionario I © 1976 Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano.
Put your finger here and see my
hands, and bring your hand and put
it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and
said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
Jesus said to him, "Have you come to
believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen
and have believed."
- Jn 20:27b-29
