ubilee Year of Mercy
April 24, 2016 • Fifth Sunday of Easter • Jubilee Day for Youth
This Sunday’s “Youth Jubilee” previews July’s World Youth Day in Krakow. Its theme from Matthew
5:7, “Blessed are the merciful,” echoes Pope Francis’ warning that “the practice of mercy is waning in
the wider culture.” In countercultural witness, therefore, “the time has come,” says Francis, “for the
Church to take up the joyful call to mercy once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the
weaknesses and struggles of our brothers and sisters.” Jesus affirms the same in today’s Gospel. “As I
have loved you, so you also should love one another” (John 13:34). Francis concludes, “The Church’s
very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love.” Jesus too asserts, “This is
how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). Thus mercy
“makes young” the Church, the world, and everyone. “Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life
and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope” (Misericordiae Vultus, 10).

Marriage Encounter
In today’s Gospel Jesus commanded his disciples to love one
another as He had loved them. Do we reflect this love in our
lives and relationships, especially our marriage relationship?

are April 29-May 1, 2016 at St. Francis Retreat Center, San Juan
Bautista, CA; July 15-17, 2016 at St. Anthony’s Retreat Center,

THE ALPHA BABY BOTTLES ARE HERE!
Pick up a baby bottle and help change lives by taking part in the

loose change (bills and checks welcome too!), and bring it back
on Fathers’ Day. Easy – and combined with others throughout
SLO County, you will be helping ALPHA support those facing the
challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood. The healthy and
happy babies we helped over the past year are a tangible witness
to how ALPHA is changing lives in our community.
ALPHA ‘s central office is located at 11549 Los Osos Valley Road, Suite 104

Care for Creation
Consider this advice from Pope Francis’ encyclical on
Care for Creation: “…Give thanks to God before and after
meals. I ask all believers to return to this beautiful and
meaningful custom. That moment of blessing, however
brief, reminds us of our dependence on God for life; it
strengthens our feeling of gratitude for the gifts of creation;
it acknowledges those who by their labours provide us with
these goods; and it reaffirms our solidarity with those in
greatest need.”

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
Readings For This Week
Listen and remember through Word and Bread
April 24, 2016
Fifth Sunday of Easter
While Jesus was with his disciples
at the Last Supper, he pointed
toward his future glory following
his death and resurrection where
he would be reunited with his
Father in heaven. He also gave the
disciples a command: to love one
another. But the disciples didn’t
have to figure out how to do this on
their own. Jesus told them to love
one another in the same way he had
loved them.

This Sunday is the retreat
for second year sacramental
preparation on the topic of
Eucharist. Remember to bring
your banners.
Another way to keep celebrating
the Easter season – take an
Emmaus walk. Read Luke 24: 1335 before you go. Then take a walk
someplace that has meaning for
your family and imagine you are
walking with Jesus.

Words of wisdom:
“Be still and know that I am God”
Psalm 46:10
There is stillness in our days that
allows us to regroup and assess our
needs for the coming season. It is
nice to have this down time until the
crowds of summer once again visit
our fair city.
We are in the midst of the
Communion season and have many
Communion sets, gifts and books
available. There are also many
of our own beautiful hand-made
Rosaries, bracelets other related
items. Our staff is happy to help
you in any way we can. If you are
looking for a special gift or just
looking you are always welcome.
We are here to serve you 7 days a
week – from 9 - 5 pm.

erdadera 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?

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
24 de abril de 2016 • Quinto Domingo de Pascua
Día Jubilar de la JuventudJ
Este domingo “Jubilar de la Juventud” es una
muestra de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud
el mes de julio en la ciudad de Cracovia. El
tema de la Jornada es “Bienaventurados
los misericordiosos”, haciendo eco a
la advertencia del Papa Francisco de
que “la practica de la misericordia
está disminuyendo ampliamente en la
cultura”. Como testigo contracultural, por
lo tanto, “el tiempo ya llegó” dice el Papa
Francisco, “para que la Iglesia aumente la
invitación alegre a la misericordia una vez más,
regresar a los orígenes, cargar las debilidades
y dificultades de nuestros hermanos y hermanos”. Jesús
afirma lo mismo en el Evangelio de hoy. “Así como yo los
he amado, así también ámense los unos a los otros” (Juan
13:34). El Papa Francisco concluye “la misma credibilidad
de la Iglesia es vista en cómo muestra misericordia y amor
compasivo”. Jesús acierta al decir “en esto conocerán todos
que son mis discípulos, si aman los unos a los otros” (Juan
13:35). Por lo que la misericordia “hacejoven” a la Iglesia, al
mundo y a cada persona. La misericordia es la “fuerza que
resucita a una vida nueva e infunde el valor para mirar el
futuro con esperanza” (Misericordiae Vultus, 10).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El primero de mayo es reconocido como el día mundial
del trabajo y conmemora seis mártires de Chicago,
quienes fueron fusilados en 1886 cuando la policía trató de
impedir una pelea campal durante una huelga de obreros.
Curiosamente esta fecha no es reconocida por Estados Unidos
pero sí por muchos países latinoaméricanos. En 1954, el
Papa Pió XII apoyó los derechos del obrero incluyendo a san
José Obrero en el calendario cristiano. Esta fiesta celebra y
recuerda la doctrina social de la Iglesia católica, una doctrina
que insiste que: “El mensaje cristiano no aparta a las personas
de la edificación del mundo, ni les lleva a despreocuparse del
bien de sus semejantes, sino que les impone esta colaboración
como un deber” (Gaudiam et Spes 34).
Es justo conmemorar a san José como obrero en el día
mundial del trabajo, porque este santo varón nos recuerda
que al trabajar uno colabora con Dios en la creación continua
del mundo y de la humanidad. El trabajo no sólo es derecho
humano es una responsabilidad que se debe tomar con amor
al prójimo.
