TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Surprisingly, the church moved very slowly in claiming marriage as a focus of attention and care. Nearly everywhere in the Roman world, citizens agreed on how to celebrate marriage. Consent of the man and woman is what made a marriage valid in the eyes of the law, and although there was a traditional ceremony, it was home-based and optional. The ceremony was for showing the social status of the families involved (the procession ideally detoured through crowds), and for reminding the woman of her legal transfer from her father’s control to her husband’s. The “big moment” of the ceremony had nothing to do with vows, but with the bride’s donning the yellow veil with red highlights that was the daily wear of married women. A wedding feast included soothsayers and animal sacrifice to the new household’s gods. Christians found that distasteful, of course, but since marriage was a family matter, they could edit things out. The church was comfortable with this, and sometimes recommended that the couple seek the advice of the bishop. His permission was only required for the marriage of a cleric, or for a marriage Rome didn’t recognize, such as between a free woman and a slave. There was no blessing, no liturgy, no priest. Christians followed the customs of the day, but they knew that custom and relationships were transformed from within themselves by the fact of their baptism. Outwardly, Christians married exactly as their pagan neighbors, but they certainly invested the usual gestures with a dynamic sense of Christ’s presence. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
OUR PRAYER FOR UNITY Last Sunday, we heard the final words Jesus spoke before his ascension into heaven, words recorded by Saint Mark. Today we listen to a portion of what has become known as Jesus’ “final discourse” from John’s Gospel. Once again, the Lord’s words contain a commissioning of his disciples for ministry to the world. One important part of this discourse is Jesus’ prayer for unity: “Keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.” As the Easter season comes to an end, a season that has seen us deepening our awareness of the Paschal Mystery, it is fitting that today we hear this prayer for unity among the Lord’s followers. Let us celebrate the unity we have with other Christians and work together to heed the Lord’s great commission to bring the Good News to our weary world. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Church of the Incarnation
Séptimo Domingo de Pascua 17 de mayo de 2015 Si Dios nos ha amado tanto, también nosotros debemos amarnos los unos a los otros. — 1 Juan 4:11
Domingo 17 de Mayo de 2015. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Toda persona siente en su interior, a la vista de la muerte, el deseo de quedarse en el mundo y dejar en él algo de sí mismo, de marcharse quedándose. Dejar unos hijos que prolonguen y recuerden su memoria, dejar una casa construida, un árbol plantado, una obra de carácter científico, literario o artístico. Jesucristo, en su condición de hombre y Dios, es el único que puede satisfacer plenamente esta esperanza. Él se va, como todo ser histórico. Pero también se queda, y no sólo en el recuerdo, no sólo en una obra, sino realmente. Se ha quedado y se hace presente en sus ministros, que lo representan ante los hombres y lo prolongan con sus labios y sus manos. Cristo es nuestro compañero, siempre está a nuestro lado. Con la Ascensión, los cristianos asumimos la misma tarea del Salvador: consagrar el mundo a Dios en el altar de la historia. Para el cristiano cada día es una liturgia de alabanza y bendición de Dios. No hay ninguna actividad de la vida diaria de los hombres que no pueda convertirse en una ofrenda santa y agradable a Dios. Por el bautismo estamos llamados a confesar ante los hombres la fe que recibimos de Dios por medio de la Iglesia. Ascensión significa que Jesús desaparece aunque siga presente en la comunidad. Toda la vida del cristiano rondará siempre este misterio: acercar a Dios a la humanidad y la humanidad a Dios. No están lejos, están cerca, muy cerca. La cercanía de Dios está en su encarnación. Dios se hace hombre para darnos todas las facilidades para reconocerlo. Ya no podemos decir que la divinidad es algo inaccesible a ejemplo. Jesús se ha hecho uno de nosotros para que seamos capaces de verlo, tocarlo, saber cómo es, cómo es su vida y su corazón, como es su reino. Cada ser humano deberá descubrir el misterio de la encarnación de Dios en su vida, sólo así lo sentirá cercano, hermano, amigo y compañero de camino. Pero la encarnación es un lugar de paso para el gran acontecimiento de la resurrección. Resucitar es vencer a la muerte, abrirnos otras puertas a la existencia en Dios. Resucitar es elevarnos a la presencia definitiva de Dios de donde ya no nos separaremos nunca. Jesús se eleva para establecerse siempre en Dios y abrirnos la puerta haciendo primero Él el camino. Si Jesús no nos abandona en el camino de la vida tampoco nos deja solos en el corto sendero que va de la muerte al Padre. La fe va más allá, mucho más allá del ver. No vemos pero no andamos en la oscuridad. No detectamos físicamente la presencia de nuestro Señor, pero no nos sentimos solos. P. Jairo
Orando con el Misterio de la Ascensión Enhorabuena, Señor, por tu triunfo. Has ascendido y eres lo más alto que existe. Has batido el record absoluto de amor a la humanidad. También a mí me gusta el triunfo, el hacer carrera y el éxito, pero soy muy diferente a Ti. Cuando yo gano, otros pierden. Cuando ganas Tú, ganamos todos. Lo mío suele ser un éxito frente a otros hombres. Lo tuyo es una victoria para todos los hombres. Enséñame, Señor, a no subir a costa de los demás. Enséñame a servir a todos con amor y comprensión. ******************************************** La Virgen María Peregrina de Nuestra Comunidad Todas las familias de nuestra comunidad están invitadas a recibir y acoger a nuestra madre María. Las familias interesadas en recibir la imagen de la Virgen Peregrina y orar el Santo Rosario favor comunicarse con el grupo de la Legión de María de nuestra comunidad.
********************************************

Retiros “La Viña de Raquel” La Viña de Raquel nos ofrece un lugar seguro donde se logra reconstruir y redimir los corazones rotos por motivo de un aborto. Allí se ofrece un ambiente confidencial donde no se le juzga, y donde hombres y mujeres pueden expresarse y reconciliar aquellas emociones que han suscitado después de un aborto, y así comenzar el proceso de renovación y sanación. El próximo retiro en español será: el 31 de Julio al 2 de Agosto, 2015. Para más información llame al 813-500-9785. projectrachel@ccdosp.org o www.rachelsvineyard.org
PROCLAMA EL EVANGELIO LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Jesús se elevó en presencia de los discípulos (Hechos 1:1-11). Salmo — Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura — Dios Padre sentó a Jesús a su derecha en los cielos (Efesios 1:17-23) o Efesios 4:1-13 [1-7, 11-13]. Evangelio — Jesús fue llevado al cielo después de pedir a sus discípulos que fueran por todo el mundo proclamando el Evangelio (Marcos 16:15-20).
Hoy celebramos uno de los dogmas de nuestro Credo: que el Señor ascendió a los cielos. Del Evangelio de san Marcos escuchamos las últimas palabras que Jesús les dirigió a sus discípulos momentos antes de ascender a los cielos. Fueron palabras con un encargo, no menos real para nosotros que para los discípulos de entonces. Jesús nos encarga: “Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el Evangelio a toda criatura”. Para la gran mayoría de nosotros, esto significa que proclamamos el Evangelio con el testimonio de nuestra vida diaria. Cuando tratamos a otros con dignidad y respeto, ayudamos a los menos afortunados que nosotros, actuamos corresponsablemente con los muchos dones que hemos recibido, y nos reunimos como familia de Dios para adorar y alabar al Padre –todas estas son señales de que el Evangelio ha echado raíces en nuestras vidas.
