GOOD NEWS REFLECTION: THE REDEMPTIVE POWER OF CHRIST
Now that we are a renewed people -- an Easter people -- the scriptures at Mass remind us of the stark difference between living a redeemed life and living in sin. The first reading for this Sunday says:
"Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away." The second reading says: "Those who say, 'I know him', but do not keep his commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them." And the Gospel reading says: "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name...." We are all liars in some way every day, professing our faith with our lips but not always in our behaviors. Our actions often say that we do not truly believe what we say about Christ's love. Our worries might be saying that we do not truly believe that God cares about each and every situation.
Our decisions say that we do not truly believe that Jesus knew what he was talking about when he commanded us to love our enemies and do good to those who hurt us. Our moral relativism says that we do not truly believe he was smarter than us when he gave us his commandments. How loudly do your actions preach the truth about Jesus?
Many of us undervalue what Jesus has done for us, thinking that his death and resurrection is enough to get us into heaven; we neglect the need to humble ourselves under the reality of the need for daily redemption. God is not expecting perfection from us on this side of heaven's gate. What he does want, however, is our desire to become more and more like Christ every day. As long as we're continually examining our lives and educating ourselves about how we can improve, and as long as we follow through by doing what is necessary to produce changes, God is very pleased with us.
What sinful tendencies still enslave you? What will you do this week to turn these over to Christ and his redemptive power? What do you do to stay in touch with your need for Christ and his redemptive power? How do you rely on the resurrected life of Christ to overcome sinful tendencies and enter into victorious Christian living? © 2021 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com.

REFLEXIÓN DE LAS BUENAS NUEVAS: EL PODER REDENTOR DE CRISTO
Ahora que somos un pueblo renovado -- un pueblo Pascual-- las escrituras en Misa nos recuerdan la cruda diferencia entre una vida redimida y una vivida en pecado. La primera lectura de este domingo dice: "Arrepiéntete, pues, y conviértete, para que tus pecados sean borrados." La segunda lectura dice: "Aquellos que dicen, 'lo conozco', pero no guardan sus mandamientos son mentirosos, y la verdad no está en ellos. "Y la lectura del Evangelio dice: "Así está escrito que el Cristo sufriría y resucitaría de entre los muertos al tercer día y el arrepentimiento, el perdón de pecados sería predicado en su nombre..."
Todos somos mentirosos de alguna manera todos los días, profesamos nuestra fe con nuestros labios, pero no siempre con nuestros comportamientos. Nuestras acciones a menudo dicen que realmente no creemos lo que decimos sobre el amor de Cristo.
Nuestras preocupaciones podrían estar diciendo que realmente no creemos que Dios se preocupe por todas y cada una de las situaciones. Nuestras decisiones dicen que realmente no creemos que Jesús sabía de lo que estaba hablando cuando nos mandó a amar a nuestros enemigos y a hacer el bien a aquellos que nos hacen daño. Nuestro relativismo moral dice que realmente no creemos que Él era más inteligente que nosotros cuando nos dio sus mandamientos. ¿Qué tan fuerte predican tus acciones la verdad acerca de Jesús?
Muchos de nosotros menospreciamos lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros, pensando que su muerte y resurrección es suficiente para llevarnos al cielo;
descuidamos la necesidad de humillarnos bajo la realidad de la necesidad de redención diaria. Dios no está esperando nuestra perfección en este lado de la puerta del cielo. Sin embargo, lo que sí quiere, es nuestro deseo de ser más como Cristo cada día.
Mientras estemos continuamente examinando nuestras vidas y educándonos sobre cómo podemos mejorar, y mientras sigamos adelante haciendo lo que sea necesario para producir cambios, Dios se complace en nosotros. ¿Qué tendencias pecaminosas todavía te esclavizan? ¿Qué harás esta semana para entregar esto a Cristo y su poder redentor? ¿Qué haces para estar en contacto con tu necesidad de Cristo y su poder redentor?
¿Cómo confías en la vida resucitada de Cristo para superar las tendencias pecaminosas y entrar en la vida cristiana victoriosa? © 2021 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Impreso con

PATIENCE: POPE FRANCIS REFLECTION ON 1 CORINTHIANS 13
Being patient does not mean letting ourselves be constantly mistreated, tolerating physical aggression or allowing other people to use us. We encounter problems whenever we think that relationships or people ought to be perfect, or when we put ourselves at the center and expect things to turn out our way. Then everything makes us impatient, everything makes us react aggressively. Unless we cultivate patience, we will always find excuses for responding angrily. We will end up incapable of living together, antisocial, unable to control our impulses, and our families will become battlegrounds. That is why the word of God tells us: “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice” (Eph 4:31). Patience takes root when I recognize that other people also have a right to live in this world, just as they are. It does not matter if they hold me back, if they unsettle my plans, or annoy me by the way they act or think, or if they are not everything, I want them to be.
Love always has an aspect of deep compassion that leads to accepting the other person as part of this world, even when he or she acts differently than I would like.
Love is at the service of others. The next word that Paul uses is chrestéuetai. The word is used only here in the entire Bible. It is derived from chrestós: a good person, one who shows his goodness by his deeds. Here, in strict parallelism with the preceding verb, it serves as a complement. Paul wants to make it clear that “patience”
is not a completely passive attitude, but one accompanied by activity, by a dynamic and creative interaction with others. The word indicates that love benefits and helps others. For this reason, it is translated as “kind”; love is ever ready to be of assistance.
Throughout the text, it is clear that Paul wants to stress that love is more than a mere feeling. Rather, it should be understood along the lines of the Hebrew verb “to love”; it is “to do good”. As Saint Ignatius of Loyola said,
“Love is shown more by deeds than by words”. It thus shows its fruitfulness and allows us to experience the happiness of giving, the nobility and grandeur of spending ourselves unstintingly, without asking to be repaid, purely for the pleasure of giving and serving.

MOTHER’S DAY NOVENA
Our annual Mother’s Day Novena will begin on Sunday, May 9th. Deceased and living mothers may be enrolled in this novena. Novena envelopes are in the boxed sets that our registered parishioners receive.
Extra envelopes for those who need them are on the shelves by the front center doors of the church.
PACIENCIA: PAPA FRANCISCO ENSENANZA SOBRE 1 CORINTIOS 13
Tener paciencia no es dejar que nos maltraten continuamente, o tolerar agresiones físicas, o permitir que nos traten como objetos. El problema es cuando exigimos que las relaciones sean celestiales o que las personas sean perfectas, o cuando nos colocamos en el centro y esperamos que sólo se cumpla la propia voluntad. Entonces todo nos impacienta, todo nos lleva a reaccionar con agresividad. Si no cultivamos la paciencia, siempre tendremos excusas para responder con ira, y finalmente nos convertiremos en personas que no saben convivir, antisociales, incapaces de postergar los impulsos, y la familia se volverá un campo de batalla. Por eso, la Palabra de Dios nos exhorta: «Desterrad de vosotros la amargura, la ira, los enfados e insultos y toda la maldad» (Ef 4,31).
Esta paciencia se afianza cuando reconozco que el otro también tiene derecho a vivir en esta tierra junto a mí, así como es. No importa si es un
estorbo para mí, si altera mis planes, si me molesta con su modo de ser o con sus ideas, si no es todo lo que yo esperaba. El amor tiene siempre un sentido de profunda compasión que lleva a aceptar al otro como parte de este mundo, también cuando actúa de un modo diferente a lo que yo desearía.
Sigue la palabra jrestéuetai, que es única en toda la Biblia, derivada de jrestós (persona buena, que muestra su bondad en sus obras). Pero, por el lugar en que está, en estricto paralelismo con el verbo precedente, es un complemento suyo. Así, Pablo quiere aclarar que la «paciencia» nombrada en primer lugar no es una postura totalmente pasiva, sino que está acompañada por una actividad, por una reacción dinámica y creativa ante los demás. Indica que el amor beneficia y promueve a los demás. Por eso se traduce como
«servicial». En todo el texto se ve que Pablo quiere insistir en que el amor no es sólo un sentimiento, sino que se debe entender en el sentido que tiene el verbo
«amar» en hebreo: es «hacer el bien». Como decía san Ignacio de Loyola, «el amor se debe poner más en las obras que en las palabras»[106]. Así puede mostrar toda su fecundidad, y nos permite experimentar la felicidad de dar, la nobleza y la grandeza de donarse sobreabundantemente, sin medir, sin reclamar pagos, por el solo gusto de dar y de servir.
NOVENA DEL DIA DE LAS MADRES Nuestra novena anual del Dia de Las Madres comenzara el domingo, 9º de Mayo. Madres difuntas y madres vivas pueden ser inscritos para esta novena.
Sobres para la novena se encuentran en las cajas de sobres que reciben nuestros feligreses inscritos. Hay sobres para los que los necesitan en ambos lados de la puerta al salir de la misa.
