NOTRE DAME CHURCH HOUSTON, TEXAS APRIL 10, 2016 From the Deacon A pastor sneaked away from having to perform church services early one Sunday morning to go fishing. He told everyone that he was sick. But then he caught the largest fish he had ever seen. Sadly, he could tell no one about it. It was a different story for the disciples. Their giant haul of 153 fish was the greatest fish story of all time. The good news for them was that they could tell everyone. In fact, we are still talking about the great haul of fish more than 2,000 years later. But theirs was a story that almost never happened. St. John in his gospel points out that when the disciples went fishing, they did so at night and their individual efforts at catching any fish failed miserably. But with the dawn, there was Jesus standing on the shore. He is the light that dispels all darkness. With Jesus in command, upon his orders, the disciples cast their nets once more into the waters and the catch of fish was so enormous that their nets were close to breaking. Christ brings hope and makes all of our endeavors successful. On our own, like the disciples, we oftentimes labor in vain. Operating in the dark, we fumble and find ourselves unable to function well. Jesus brings new light into our lives. His words have authority and hold the keys to success. We find comfort knowing that God is with us and we find reassurance that we do not have to do everything on our own. With God in charge, we can always be assured of success. Within the story of today’s Gospel lies a secondary message. St. John records that there were 153 fish caught in the nets of the disciples. It has been noted that the unique number (153) of fish caught in the net represents the diversity and the great number of peoples in the world. The Church’s mission is to reach out to all peoples with the message of Jesus Christ. It is a universal message. Each of us has a part to play in spreading the good news. We need not possess unique skills for this mission. Jesus took simple fishermen and common people to spread the news of salvation to the world. As people baptized into the Catholic faith, we become a part of that same calling to be the voice of Jesus to all we meet. Jesus says the same words to us that he spoke to Peter and the disciples: “Follow me.” May we always follow in his light and know that with Jesus in command, we cannot fail.

Victoria THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Del Diácono EN NUESTRA PARROQUIA Un pastor se escapó de dar servicios un Domingo por la mañana para ir a pescar. Le dijo a todos que estaba enfermo. Pero, luego el atrapó el pez más grande que hubiera visto, tristemente, no le podia contar a nadie. Domingo 10 de Abril- TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA --1:00 p.m. Misa en Español-Iglesia Lunes 11 de Abril- Fue una historia diferente para los discípulos. Su redada gigante de 153 peces, fue la historia de pescar más grande de todos los tiempos. La buena noticia para ellos, es que ellos si la podrían contar a todos. De hecho, todavía estamos hablando de esa gran pesca más de 2,000 años después. Martes 12 de Abril- Pero su historia era algo que casi nunca sucedió. San Juan en su evangelio señala que cuando los discípulos salieron a pescar, lo hicieron de noche y que en sus esfuerzos individuales de agarrar cualquier pez fallaron miserablemente. Pero al amanecer, allí estaba Jesús parado en la orilla. El es la luz que dispersa toda la oscuridad. Al mando de Jesús, los discípulos echaron sus redes una vez más a las aguas y la redada de peces fue tan enorme que sus redes casi se reventaban. Jesucristo trae esperanza y hace que todos nuestros intentos sean un éxito. Nosotros mismos, al igual que los discípulos, a veces trabajamos en vano. Procedemos en la oscuridad, nosotros titubeamos y nos encontramos incapaces de funcionar bien. Jesús nos trae luz a nuestras vidas. Sus palabras tienen autoridad y tienen las llaves al éxito. Encontramos alivio sabiendo que Dios está con nosotros y encontramos Consuelo que no tenemos que hacer todo por nosotros mismos. Con Dios a cargo, siempre estaremos seguros del éxito. Dentro de la historia del Evangelio de hoy tenemos un mensaje secundario. San Juan anotó que fueron 153 pescados en las redes de los discípulos. Se ha notado que ese número tan único (153) de pescados representa la diversidad y el gran número de personas en el mundo. La misión de la Iglesia es de alcanzar y llevar a todas las gentes con el mensaje de Jesucristo. Es un mensaje universal. Cada uno de nosotros tiene una parte que jugar para difundir las buenas nuevas. No necesitamos poseer talentos especiales para esta misión. Jesús tomó pescadores sencillos y gente común y corriente para difundir las buenas nuevas de la salvación al mundo. Cómo gente bautizada dentro de la fe Católica, nosotros llegamos a ser parte del mismo llamado para ser la voz a todos los que encontremos. Jesús nos dice las mismas palabras que él les habló a Pedro y los discípulos: “Sígueme.” Ojalá que siempre sigamos en Su luz y sabremos con certeza que con Jesús a cargo, nosotros no podemos fracasar.

REFLEXIÓN DE MAYORDOMIA Que a través de la oración busquemos que Dios nos guíe en nuestras decisions diarias de gastos y donaciones. “Pedro se entristeció porque Jesús le dijo por tercera vez’ ¿Tú me amas?’ y él le dijo, “Señor, tú sabes todo; tú sabes qu yo te amo’. Jesús le dijo, ‘Apacienta mis ovejas.” Juan 21: 17 Todos nosotros somos retados a mostrar nuestro amor por Jesús “apacentando Sus ovejas.” A través de sus oraciones pídale a Dios que le indique como utilizar major su tiempo, talento y riquezas para asistir a aquellos que se encuentren pasando necesidades. Recuerde que dar es un acto de adoración y ayuda al avance de la misión de su parroquia y de la Iglesia en su conujnto.
