TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION With the Easter season well under way, we now resume our survey of the sacrament of the sick. The pastoral care of the sick will be misunderstood if we start from the vantage point of the sickroom. Begin with the Sunday assembly, from which the sick person has been separated by the crisis of illness, and whose absence is given expression in prayer and service. The goal is to extend the consolation of the Lord’s presence at the table to those who are apart from it, and for the assembly to enfold them in prayer. Secondarily, the goal is to teach people what the Church desires for all those who are sick. Seeing ministers dispatched to the sick from Mass every Sunday might help a caregiver realize that their dear one can also receive Communion. Witnessing the anointing of a woman facing surgery might help another person to overcome hesitation and ask for the sacrament’s healing and strength. Society’s impulse may be to marginalize the sick, but the tradition of our community is to see them at the center of our life. When Roman persecutors ordered St. Lawrence the Deacon to hand over the jewels of the church, he assembled a motley crew of the sick and the infirm and announced with all humility, “Behold, my lord, the treasures of the church of Christ.” —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAVORING THE EXPERIENCE One of the wonderful things about vacations is the time we spend two or three weeks afterward savoring the experience, sharing vacation photos and memories with our family and friends. This kind of reflection puts us back in touch with the original experience and reminds us of the relaxation and wonder the vacation afforded us. Today, on the Third Sunday of Easter, the Church blesses us with reminders of what we celebrated two Sundays ago. All three readings are reflections on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ. One of the threads running through these reflections is that the purpose of the Lord’s suffering, death, and resurrection was to save us, to forgive our sins. We are given fifty days to ponder this reality—fifty days to savor the experience of Christ’s dying and rising for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Church of the Incarnation
Domingo 19 de Abril de 2015. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios En las apariciones de Cristo resucitado el saludo: Paz a vosotros se repite casi constantemente. Es como un regalo espléndido que Cristo quiere dejar a los suyos para que éstos lo vayan transmitiendo de generación en generación. La paz constituye, hoy más que nunca, la suprema aspiración del hombre. Todos hablan de la paz. Todos desean la paz. Lo malo es que no todos desean lo mismo. Muchos, cuando piden la paz, no desean sino mantener sea como sea el orden establecido. Otros, cuando defienden la paz, están defendiendo su situación privilegiada. Los más, si desean la paz, se contentan con que los dejen tranquilos. Quizá, por eso, para una inmensa mayoría el ideal de la paz es el cementerio. Allí, dicen, se descansa en paz, Pero, ¿no creen ustedes que esa paz de los muertos no es aplicable a los vivos? Por eso, si hemos de trabajar por la paz, tendremos que desnudarnos de nuestro prejuicio (paz= "aquí no pasa nada") para ponernos de acuerdo en una paz más dinámica, más amplia: una paz que alcance a todo el hombre, a todos los hombres. Esa paz, la que Cristo ha traído a este mundo, no se realiza en un mero tratado de no-agresión, ni se conquista a costa de millones de muertos o para beneficio de muchos vivos. Esa paz ha de instalarse primero en el corazón de cada uno. Resulta ingenuo pensar que ya no hay violencia, sólo porque no se oyen tiros por las calles. Y resulta simplón confiar la paz a unas cláusulas firmadas multilateralmente. El virus de la violencia, como el que hace imposible la paz, anida en el corazón del hombre: el egoísmo, la injusticia, el orgullo, la arrogancia, el afán de dominio, la venganza, la intransigencia e intolerancia. Es en nuestro interior donde hay que hacer la paz, para que podemos vivir todos en paz. P. Jairo

Tercer Domingo de Pascua 19 de abril de 2015 Sólo tú, Señor, eres mi tranquilidad. — Salmo 4:9
Oración de Paz Señor, hazme un instrumento de tu paz; donde haya odio, ponga amor; donde hay ofensa, perdón; donde hay duda, fe; donde hay desesperanza, esperanza; donde hay tinieblas, luz; donde hay tristeza, alegría. Oh Divino Maestro, que no busque yo tanto. Ser consolado como consolar. Ser comprendido como comprender. Ser amado como amar. Porque dando se recibe. Perdonando se es perdonado. Y muriendo a si mismo se nace a la vida eterna. (San Francisco de Asís)

|10 SABOREA LA EXPERIENCIA Una de las cosas maravillosas sobre las vacaciones es que después de nuestro regreso nos pasamos dos o tres semanas saboreando la experiencia, compartiendo las fotos y recuerdos con nuestra familia y amistades. Esta clase de reflexión nos vincula nuevamente a la experiencia original y nos hacer volver a vivir el descanso y las maravillas que la vacación nos proporcionó. Hoy, el Tercer Domingo de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da la bendición de unos recordatorios de lo que celebramos hace dos domingos. Las tres lecturas son reflexiones del significado de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo. Uno de los hilos que unen a estas reflexiones es que el propósito del sufrimiento, la muerte y la resurrección del Señor fue para salvarnos y perdonar nuestros pecados. Tenemos cincuenta días para contemplar esta realidad –cincuenta días para saborear la experiencia de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo por nosotros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
UNA PRUEBA, POR FAVOR El grupo de los once no parece estar tan deseoso de tener a Jesús entre ellos como estaban los discípulos de Emaús. Jerusalén probablemente seguía siendo un lugar peligroso para ellos estar. Después de todo, la historia que escuchamos hoy había ocurrido sólo unos días después de la muerte de Jesús. En vez de ver a Jesús como un compañero de viaje, a pesar de su saludo de “Paz”, se aterrorizan y necesitan una prueba de que es él, parecida a la de Tomás en el Evangelio de Juan del domingo pasado. Aunque se alegran al saber que es él, Lucas nos dice que les dio una prueba adicional, comiendo delante de ellos. Lo más importante, él les encarga que sean testigos de que él es el cumplimiento de la Escritura hebrea. Nuestro leccionario omite hoy los versos siguientes, que nos dicen que Jesús fue llevado al cielo ese día, el día de la resurrección; y que sintieron tal fuerza después de haber sido testigos de su presencia resucitada, que pudieron ir a Jerusalén, hasta el mismo Templo, para proclamar su mensaje de júbilo. Nosotros hoy, debemos seguir sus pasos, permitiendo que la presencia del Cristo resucitado nos envíe al mundo a proclamar su Buena Nueva con alegría.
