In this way, it also sums up the whole Easter Octave. As Saint John Paul II pointed out in his Regina Caeli address on Divine Mercy Sunday, 1995: “the whole octave of Easter is like a single day,” and the Octave Sunday is meant to be the day of “thanksgiving for the goodness God has shown to man in the whole Easter mystery.” http://www.divinemercysunday.com/pdf/The_Octave_Day_of_Easter.pdf Date Activities Place Time Sunday 03 Buen Pastor-English Program Pastoral Center Monday 04 Baptismal Talk Pastoral Center 401 Tuesday 05 Rosary Rosario Comunitario N.A.

Page Six Second Sunday of Easter April 3, 2016 Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. — Revelation 1:18a Gospel reading (John 20: 19-31) On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. Brief commentary This Sunday we conclude the Octave of Easter; eight days in which the ‘Day of the Resurrection’ radiates its light in our lives. Every Sunday beyond today is an echo of Easter Sunday, resonating throughout the Church and throughout the universe. The power of Easter vanquishes fear (the Exultet) as evidenced in today’s gospel, as the disciples’ fear is replaced by a greeting of peace from the risen Lord. The fruit of the cross and resurrection is the Gift of the Spirit, breathed upon the disciples as divine life, making them ministers of the reconciliation that Jesus Christ won by his victory. It is the fruit of Divine Mercy that we joyfully celebrate this Sunday, a mercy that ever sustains and strengthens, pardons and restores, enlivens and renews, the Church and the world. The Christian is one who can exclaim, as did the disciples, “We have seen the Lord!” Yet, faith is not without its tests and trials. In Thomas we are able to recognize with humility how in need we all are of God’s grace to ignite and embolden our belief and our faith. In a world that often ignores, or is skeptical of, the Presence of the One who moment by moment wills and sustains our very being, faith empowers us to trust and to give the gift of ourselves to God wholeheartedly. In this “Year of Faith,” declared by Pope Benedict XVI, we have witnessed the historic resignation of a pope and the election of a new Successor of Peter, Pope Francis. With joy and gratitude to God in our hearts, we see how the Church witnesses to the powerful presence of the Risen Lord in her midst, renewing her life and re-confirming her in her evangelical and apostolic mission in the world. This Easter Season the Lord sends his Spirit upon us as he did on his first disciples; he sends each of us as messengers of reconciliation in a world that tends to distance itself from God and from love of neighbor, and he calls us to believe with boldness in the One we call “My Lord and my God!” Happy and blessed Easter of the Resurrection of the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Halleluyah…Jesus Christ is risen, and we have life in his name! Today’s reading offers three significant messages: For our shared or personal reflection: ♦ The gifts of the risen Christ are peace and the Spirit. These dispel fear and doubt. ♦ Empowered by the Spirit of the Risen Lord, the disciples are sent as ambassadors of forgiveness and reconciliation. The Church is at the service of reconciliation through her sacraments – particularly Confession – as well as through her efforts at dialogue among peoples, and in each of her members’ efforts throughout society. ♦ Faith enables us to believe without seeing, and to be intrepid witnesses of the Risen Lord in our Church and world. After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings. 1. What does the presence of the Risen Lord accomplish in my life? 2. How am I being a ‘minister of reconciliation’ in my family, church, workplace, community? 3. How do I witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Y en esto entró Jesús, se puso en medio y les dijo: “Paz a vosotros.” Y, diciendo esto, les enseñó las manos y el costado. Y los discípulos se llenaron de alegría al ver al Señor. Jesús repitió: “Paz a vosotros. Como el Padre me ha enviado, así también os envío yo. “Y, dicho esto, exhaló su aliento sobre ellos y les dijo: “Recibid el Espíritu Santo; a quienes les perdonéis los pecados! quedan perdonados; a quienes se los retengáis, les quedan retenidos.” Tomás, uno de los Doce, llamado el Mellizo, no estaba con ellos cuando vino Jesús. Y los otros discípulos le decían: “Hemos visto al Señor.” Pero él les contestó: “Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos, si no meto el dedo en el agujero de los clavos y no meto la mano en su costado, no lo creo.” A los ocho días, estaban otra vez dentro los discípulos y Tomás con ellos. Llegó Jesús, estando cerradas las puertas, se puso en medio y dijo: “Paz a vosotros.” Luego dijo a Tomás: “Trae tu dedo, aquí tienes mis manos; trae tu mano y métela en mi costado; y no seas incrédulo, sino creyente.” Contestó Tomás: “¡Señor Mío y Dios Mío!” Jesús le dijo: “¿Porque me has visto has creído? Dichosos los que crean sin haber visto.” Muchos otros signos, que no están escritos en este libro, hizo Jesús a la vista de los discípulos. Éstos se han escrito para que creáis que Jesús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, y para que, creyendo tengáis vida en su nombre. Comentario breve Este domingo concluimos la Octava de Pascua, ocho días en que el ‘Día de la Resurrección’ radia su luz en nuestras vidas. Cada domingo siguiente es un eco del Domingo de Resurrección, resonando a través de la Iglesia y a través del universo. El poder de la Pascua vence el temor (el Exultet) como se muestra en el evangelio de hoy, cuando el temor de los discípulos es reemplazado por el saludo de paz del Señor resucitado. El fruto de la cruz y resurrección es el don del Espíritu, respirado sobre los discípulos como vida divina, haciéndolos ministros de la reconciliación que Jesucristo ha ganado por su victoria. Es el fruto de la Divina Misericordia que tan gozosamente celebramos este Domingo, una misericordia que siempre sostiene y fortalece, perdona y restaura, vivifica y renueva a la Iglesia y al mundo. El cristiano es quien puede clamar, tal como los primeros discípulos, “¡Hemos visto al Señor!” Sin embargo, la fe no existe sin sus pruebas y dificultades. En Tomas podemos ver con humildad la necesidad que todos tenemos de la gracia divina para encender y alentar nuestra creencia y nuestra fe. En un mundo que acostumbra a ignorar, o ser escéptico, de la presencia de El, que momento a momento nos crea y sostiene, la fe nos fortalece a confiar y a darnos a Dios de todo corazón. En este “Año de la Fe,” declarado por el Papa Benedicto XVI, hemos presenciado la histórica resignación de un papa y la elección de un nuevo Sucesor de Pedro, el Papa Francisco. Con gozo y gratitud a Dios vemos como la Iglesia experimenta la presencia poderosa del Señor resucitado en su seno, renovando su vida y reconformándola en su misión evangélica y apostólica en el mundo. Esta Pascua el Señor envía su Espíritu sobre nosotros tal como a sus primeros discípulos; y a cada uno nos envía como mensajeros de reconciliación en el mundo que tiende a distanciarse de Dios y de amor al prójimo, y así nos llama a creer con coraje en Quien llamamos “¡Mi Señor y mi Dios!” ¡Feliz y bendita Pascua de Resurrección del Hijo de Dios, nuestro Señor y salvador Jesucristo! ¡Aleluya…Jesucristo es resucitado, y tenemos vida en su nombre! Para la reflexión comunitaria: La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes: ♦ Los dones de Cristo resucitado son la paz y el Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos.
