Liturgy of the Day
Liturgia del Día
Today as we gather at God’s invitation, we
hear again Jesus’ commandment to love
one another. Let us be grateful today for a
God who loves us so much, and pray for
the grace to put into action this
commandment of Jesus, whether it be
toward family and dear ones, or toward the
strangers we encounter on the street. Let us
learn to love one another as Jesus has
loved us.
Reunidos hoy por invitación de Dios
escuchamos de nuevo el mandamiento de
Jesús de amarnos los unos a los otros.
Seamos agradecidos hoy por un Dios que
nos ama tanto y oremos para recibir la
gracia de poner en práctica este
mandamiento de Jesús, ya sea hacia la
familia y seres queridos o hacia los
desconocidos que encontremos en la calle.
Aprendamos a amarnos los unos a los otros
como Jesús nos ha amado a nosotros.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Amous Los Unos a Los Otros
Homilía
Después que las “palabras
injuriosas” del domingo pasado
(Hechos 13:45) expulsaron a
Pablo y a Bernabé de Antioquía,
los adversarios los acecharon y
organizaron a una muchedumbre
histérica, que golpeó a Pablo casi hasta el punto de quitarle la
vida. Pero, ¿qué pasa hoy? ¡Pablo regresa! Transformando la
crueldad humana en energía evangelizadora, Pablo le reporta
buenas noticias a la comunidad que lo había despachado a una
misión casi fatal: Dios le había “abierto a los paganos las
puertas de la fe” (Hechos 14:27). La historia de ellos debe
convertirse en nuestra historia: Dios obra en nosotros y a través
de nosotros para vencer la malicia humana con la bondad del
Evangelio.
“Un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva” (Apocalipsis 21:1) vendrán
cuando Dios así lo designe, pero esa belleza en que todos se
regocijarán a plenitud debe comenzar ya desde ahora y mediante
nuestro discipulado. El amor que engalana a la Jerusalén
celestial debe inspirar nuestra entrega a los demás. “La morada
de Dios” con los seres humanos (Apocalipsis 21:3), que se dará
a plenitud algún día, debe atisbarse ya hoy por nuestra práctica
de la caridad hacia el Cristo que reconocemos en aquellos que
servimos. Aunque sólo Dios “enjugará todas [las]lágrimas”, así
como “la muerte, el duelo, la pena y los llantos” (ver Ap. 21:4),
podemos al menos consolar a los afligidos y tratar de aliviar el
sufrimiento de tantos que sufren.
Al anunciar el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia el Papa Francisco
declaró que la credibilidad de la Iglesia depende completamente
de nuestra demostración de un amor misericordioso y
compasivo. La misericordia, dice el Papa Francisco,reaviva a
todos para una vida nueva e infunde en todos la valentía para
mirar hacia el futuro con esperanza. Jesús también reafirma que
hemos de amarnos los unos a los otros “y por este amor
reconocerán todos que ustedes son mis discípulos” (Juan 13:35).
Pregunta de la Semana
¿A quiénes debo mostrarles misericordia esta semana? ¿Cómo
lo haré?

Corpus Christi Celebrates
the Sacrament of
Confirmation
On Friday, April 15, 2016 Corpus Christi
parish celebrated the Sacrament of
Confirmation with 44 candidates being Confirmed in the Holy Spirit.
Bishop Robert J. Guglielmone was present to confer our Class of 2016 and he reminded students that each of
us will face times in our life when we don’t feel qualified, ready or experienced enough to do what God has
called us to do. He instructed the class to take courage, even in the face of criticism, and to go forth doing
God’s work in the world in which we live.
Father Ray and the Religious Education Office would like to thank the parents, guardians and sponsors who
helped prepare the confirmandi. Additionally, we express our most sincere gratitude for all of the hard work,
time and dedication of our volunteer catechists: Jeff Hemming, Lori Long, Amanda Macchio, Trudy Svrcek
and Rob Watts. We also wish to thank Gordon Oswald, Director of Youth Ministry.
