LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera Lectura — Llevados ante el sanedrín, los
apóstoles dieron testimonio de Jesucristo
(Hch 5:27-32, 40b-41).
Salmo — Te alabaré, Señor, eternamente. Aleluya (Salmo
30(29)).
Segunda Lectura — En su visión Juan ve todo en el cielo
y en la tierra rindiendo honores y gloria al que está en el
trono y al Cordero (Apocalipsis 5:11-14).
Evangelio — Jesús se aparece a los discípulos cerca del
mar de Tiberíades (Juan 21:1-19 [1-14]).
PRO-LIFE CORNER - When the sperm unites with the egg, fertilization has taken place; this has long been the accepted scientific term
for pregnancy. In 1965, in order to disguise the fact that The Pill is an abortifacient, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists changed the definition of pregnancy from "fertilization" to the "time of implantation." This change covers up the fact that a little baby
dies due to a chemical abortion. The baby dies because it cannot attach itself to a thinned out uterine wall.
Third Sunday of Easter
April 10, 2016
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches,
Wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessings.”
“Digno es el Cordero, que fue inmolado, de recibir el poder y la riqueza,
La sabiduría y la fuerza, el honor, la gloria y la alabanza.”
— Revelation 5:12

REFLECTIONS
REDEMPTION
Do you remember Peter on the night Jesus was arrested? He claimed he had never heard
of Jesus. Today we are called to join Peter in testifying to the name of Jesus as he does in the
first reading, and in proclaiming our love for him as Peter does in the Gospel passage. The
powerful imagery of John’s vision in the second reading from the book of Revelation shows us
the company we keep when we have faith in the name of Jesus. We join all living creatures,
“countless in number” from “heaven, earth, under the earth, in the sea; everything in the universe” (Revelation 5:11, 13). The dignity and majesty described in each reading are in stark
contrast to the dark and pitiful image of Peter and the other apostles at the time of Jesus’
arrest, trial, and crucifixion. What a relief that we can all be redeemed so completely!
REDIMIDOS
¿Recuerdas a Pedro la noche que arrestaron a Jesús? Insistía en que nunca había oído de
Jesús. Hoy estamos llamados a unirnos a Pedro en dar testimonio del nombre de Jesús como
lo hace en la primera lectura, y a proclamar nuestro amor a él tal como lo hace Pedro en el
pasaje del Evangelio. La poderosa imagen de la visión de san Juan en la segunda lectura del
libro del Apocalipsis nos enseña la comunidad a la que pertenecemos cuando tenemos fe en
el nombre de Jesús. Nos unimos a todos los seres vivientes “miles y millones” en “el cielo,
sobre la tierra, debajo de ella y en el mar, y todo lo que hay en ellos” (Apocalipsis 5:11, 13).
La majestad y dignidad expresadas en cada lectura están en profundo contraste con la oscura
y miserable imagen de Pedro y los otros apóstoles en los momentos en que Jesús era arrestado, juzgado y crucificado. ¡Qué alivio que todos podemos ser tan totalmente redimidos!
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Divine Mercy Prayer Group for their recent
donation of $114 to the parish.
Deseamos dar las gracias al Grupo de Oracion de la Divina Misericordia por su donación de @114 a la igleisa.
