Reflection: (reflection by Sr. Louise Alff, OSF)
There is a story about Jesus returning to heaven after the Ascension. As the angels gathered around, overjoyed at seeing him again, they were deeply moved by his scarred hands and feet. They asked Jesus: "Do all of
the people on earth now know of your unconditional love for them?" "No", said Jesus, "not everyone. But I have asked my disciples to tell others, and they in turn will tell others and eventually everyone will know of God's great love for them." Realizing what fickle people those "earthlings" were, the angels anxiously asked: "But what if they don't tell each other? What if they forget? What if they just keep the good news to themselves? Surely, you have another plan?" "No", said Jesus "that is my only plan. I'm counting on them." Two thousand years later, Jesus still has no other plan and is counting on us. You and I are to share our faith like the believers of the early Church. In today's gospel Jesus breathed on the apostles and sent them out. That same Holy Spirit was breathed on us at Baptism and Confirmation. Today is the birthday of the Church and feast day of all Christians, for it marks the day we were empowered to share our faith to be an evangelizer The word ANGEL is in this word. An angel is a messenger from God. God's message is one of peace, justice, dignity, truth, forgiveness, understanding and love. Any time you bring a face to those words you are evANGELizing. How are others to know of God's love? For you and me to share the message. This is Jesus' plan, He has no other.
So we ask ourselves:
Do we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, first received at Baptism & strengthened at Confirmation, to evangelize others in both word & action? xDo we celebrate our faith by spreading the Gospel of Jex
Reflexión: (reflexión de sor Louise Alff, OSF)
Hay una historia acerca de Jesús volver al cielo después de la Ascensión. Como los ángeles reunidos alrededor, muy contento de verlo una vez más, se sintió profundamente conmovido por su marcada las manos y los pies. Se le preguntó a Jesús: " ¿todos
los pueblos de la tierra ahora sabemos de su amor incondicional a ellos?" "No", dijo Jesús, "no todo el mundo. Pero yo les he dicho a mis discípulos para decirles a los demás, y, a su vez, les diga a los demás y finalmente todos saben de el gran amor que Dios siente por ellos." dándose cuenta de lo que las personas inconstantes los "terrícolas" eran, los ángeles le preguntó ansiosamente: "Pero, ¿qué ocurre si no te dicen los demás? ¿Qué pasa si se olvidan? Lo que si se mantiene la buena noticia a sí mismos? Sin duda, ustedes tienen otro plan?" "No", dice Jesús, "que es mi único plan. Estoy contando con ellos." Después de dos mil años, Jesús todavía no tiene otro plan y está contando con nosotros. Usted y yo a compartir nuestra fe como los creyentes de la Iglesia primitiva. En el evangelio de hoy Jesús sopló sobre los apóstoles y los envió. Ese mismo Espíritu Santo sopló sobre nosotros en el Bautismo y la confirmación. Hoy es el cumpleaños de la Iglesia, y día de la fiesta de todos los cristianos, ya que marca el día en que nos estaban facultados para compartir nuestra fe para ser evangelizador. La palabra ángel es en esta palabra. Un ángel es un mensajero de Dios. Mensaje de la Palabra de Dios es uno de la paz, la justicia, la dignidad, la verdad, el perdón, la comprensión y el amor. Una vez que lleve un rostro a esas palabras que están evangelizando. ¿Cómo son otros a saber del amor de Dios? Para usted y para mí para compartir el mensaje. Este plan es Jesús, no tiene otra.
Así que nos preguntamos:
¿que buscamos la guía del Espíritu Santo, recibió por primera vez en el Bautismo y fortalecidos en la confirmación, a evangelizar otros tanto en palabra y acción? x¿Celebramos nuestra fe en el Evangelio de Jesucristo? x
