May 8, 2016
This weekend is both
the Ascension of the
Lord and Mother’s
Day. If you can find a
Hallmark card for both you will be very popular with
your mom!
This Ascension story is at the very end of the
Gospel of Luke. It leads into another Ascension story
at the very beginning of the Acts of the Apostles.
Again, Luke wrote both thus the symmetry between
them.
Today the risen Lord Jesus Christ is explaining to
his disciples that “the Christ would suffer and rise
from the dead on the third day and that repentance,
for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his
name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalem.”
This is now the disciples mission and our mission.
Mother’s know of this mission as they try to keep
their families together by loving and forgiving. How
often does the mother take the first step toward reconciliation in a family dispute? How often do the
mothers seek peace first in the family.
Our first reading from Acts gives us another Ascension story. Here Luke is more concerned about
emphasizing the time of the restoration of Israel. Yet
again the disciples are sent out as “witnesses to the
ends of the earth.” They go in the power of the Holy
Spirit that they will soon receive. It is this power in
the Spirit that will bring people together.
Acts gives us a further point for our consideration. “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there
looking at the sky?” The “two men dressed in white
garments” are giving the disciples a push to get out
and get to work! Do not worry about the coming of
Jesus as he “will return in the same way as you have
seen him going into heaven.”
Sometimes we too get stuck along the road in
life. Our mothers are there at such times to help us to
keep moving forward no matter the circumstances. In
doing so they teach us about the part of the mission
that calls us to persevere. Perseverance can be difficult but essential to proclaiming the Good News with
joy.
Finally today is a great day to thank our
mothers both living and deceased. Our mothers are
not perfect. But they feel deeply the needs of their
family and do their best to faithfully carryout the
mission of the Lord.
Este fin de semana
Del Escritorio
celebramos
la
Del Párroco
Ascensión del Señor y
el día de la Madre!
Entonces una tarjeta para mama que celebra los dos
días!
La cuenta de la Ascensión es al final del
evangelio de San Lucas. Hay otra cuenta de la
Ascensión al comienzo de los Hechos de los
Apóstoles. San Lucas escribió los dos libros y por
eso están ligados.
Hoy el Señor Jesús resucitado esta recordando a
sus discípulos que “el Mesías tenia que padecer y
había de resucitar de entro los muertos al tercer día, y
que en su nombre se había de predicar a todas la
naciones comenzando por Jerusalén.” La misión de
los discípulos y también nuestra misión hoy día.
Las mamas saben de esta misión intentando
guardar la unidad de la familia con amor y perdón.
Cuantas veces la mama toma el primer paso en una
discusión para reconciliar la familia? También, y en
muchos casos, es la mama que traje los niños a la
Iglesia por sus sacramentos y misa.
Los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos da otra historia
de la Ascensión. San Lucas en esta cuenta es mas
preocupada por la restauración de Israel. Aunque
otra vez los discípulos están mandados como
“testigos...hasta los últimos rincones de la tierra.”
Ellos se van en el poder del Espíritu Santo que van a
recibir. Por este poder ellos se van a unir la gente.
El libro de los Hechos nos da otra consideración:
“Galileos que hacen allí parados mirando al cielo,”
dice “dos hombres vestidos en blanco.” Los
discípulos les tocan trabajar para el Reino y que no
se preocupen del regreso de Jesús quien “volverá
como lo han visto alejarse.”
Hay momentos en que nosotros no podemos
avanzar en el camino de la vida. Nuestras mamas
están allá en estos momentos para poder de
animarnos a seguir adelante no importa las
circunstancias. Ellas nos enseñan la perseverancia.
La perseverancia es clave para anunciar el la Buena
Nueva con alegría.
Este fin de semana es un tiempo de dar gracias a
Dios por nuestras madres vivas y muertas. Ellas no
son perfectas. Pero con mucha fe, alegría y algunas
lagrimas las madres cumplen la misión del Señor en
este mundo!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Feliz Día de la Madre!

A Prayer For Mothers
All-loving God,
we give you thanks and praise
for mothers young and old.
We pray for young mothers,
who give life and count toes
and tend to our every need;
May they be blessed with patience and tenderness
to care for their families and themselves
with great joy.
We pray for our own mothers
who have nurtured and cared for us;
May they continue to guide
in strong and gentle ways.
We remember mothers who have separated
from their children because of war,
poverty or conflict;
May they feel the loving embrace of
our God who wipes every tear away.
We pray for woman who are not mothers
but still love and shape us
with motherly care and compassion.
We remember mothers, grandmothers & great
grandmothers
who are not longer with us
But who live forever in our memory
And nourish us with love.
- Amen
