FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
“After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news in that city and made a
considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
They strengthened the spirit of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the
faith…they appointed elders for them in each church and with prayer and fasting
commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.”
How exciting to trace the steps of Paul in his missionary journeys, discover the fruit of his
ministry, and his care in leaving the growing communities in able hands. He with Barnabas
spent themselves in forming missionary disciples.
Pope Francis is doing the same thing. His visits to Washington, New York and Philadelphia
proclaimed the same mission. His travels to Kenya, Uganda and the Central African Republic
were to produce the same results.
It is time for us to respond to the challenge. Through our own prayer and fasting, we too are
strengthened to do the work of the elders in our own communities. We do not wait for others to
come to us, but we go out to bring the saving message of Jesus to others.
Question: When was the last time you invited someone to return to the practice of the faith, or
told someone why you are a believer?
UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES
SU PALABRA HOY por el Reverendo William J. Reilly
Quinto Domingo de Pascua 24 de abril de 2016
“Después de haber evangelizado esta ciudad y haber hechos numerosos discípulos, volvieron
a Listra, a Iconio y a Antioquía. Confortaron a sus discípulos y los exhortaron a perseverar en
la fe… En cada comunidad establecieron presbíteros, y con oración y ayuno, los
encomendaron al Señor en el que habían creído.”
Qué emocionante seguir los pasos de San Pablo en sus viajes misioneros, descubrir el fruto de su
ministerio, y su cuidado al dejar las crecientes comunidades en hábiles manos. El y Barnabé se
esforzaron formando discípulos misioneros.
El Papa Francisco está haciendo lo mismo. Sus visitas a Washington, Nueva York y Filadelfia
proclamaron la misma misión. Sus viajes a Kenya, Uganda y la República Centroafricana han
producido los mismos resultados.
Es hora de que nosotros respondamos al reto. A través de nuestra oración y ayuno también se nos
fortalece para hacer el trabajo de presbíteros en nuestras comunidades. No esperamos a que otros
vengan a nosotros, sino que nosotros salimos y llevamos el mensaje de Jesús a otros.
Pregunta: ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que invitó usted a alguien a regresar a la práctica de la fe, o le
dijo a alguien por qué es creyente?
