Living Our Faith
In today’s gospel, we get a rare glimpse into Jesus’ relationship with God the Father. We see his level of intimacy and dedication to the Father’s will, as well as his eternal love for all who follow him. He gives the apostles instructions that this good news is to be preached in his name to all nations. What a wondrous thing that God loves us so much he has claimed us through our baptism and given us his son as our mediator? How even more wonderful that he has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us as individuals and as church, and to be our advocate? We always have God in our corner. As we journey to Pentecost next week this is a great opportunity to reflect on all God does for us to help us live as good disciples here on earth, and ultimately join him in eternal life. Jesus tells us that it is there for all who follow him. We need only to say ‘yes’ and open our hearts to his will. May 17, 2015

Viviendo Nuestra Fe
En el evangelio de hoy, recibimos un destello de la relación de Jesús con Dios Padre. Vemos Su entrega y dedicación total a la voluntad de Su Padre, así como el amor eterno que le tiene a todos que lo siguen. Jesús instruye a los apóstoles que esta buena nueva debe ser predicada a todas las naciones en el Nombre de Jesús. Que maravilloso que nuestro Dios Padre nos ama tanto que nos ha adoptado por las aguas del bautismo y nos ha dado a Su Único Hijo para interceder por nosotros. Aun mas maravilloso que nos ha dado el Espíritu Santo para guiarnos individualmente y como Iglesia, y para ser nuestro abogado. Siempre tenemos a Dios con nosotros. En cuanto caminamos hacia el día de Pentecostés reflexionemos en todo lo que Dios ha hecho por nosotros para ayudarnos a vivir como discípulos aquí en la tierra, y ultimadamente para vivir con El eternamente en el cielo. Jesús nos dice que todo esto puede pertenecer a todos los que lo siguen. Solo necesitamos decir un ‘si’ a Dios y abrir nuestros corazones a Su voluntad.
