Third Sunday of Easter

Do You Love Me?
When they are all together on that morning…and Jesus had made breakfast for everybody (what care) and no one dared speak because they all knew it was the Lord. He’s near Simon and he says to him, very softly, without the others realizing, he says quietly, “Simon, do you love me more than these?” This is the culmination of Christian morality: the beginning and the end of Christian morality. He didn’t tell him, “Simon, you betrayed me. Simon, think how many mistakes you made. Simon, how many betray-als! Simon, just think that you can make the same mis-take tomorrow and the day after. Think how fragile you are, what a coward you are in front of me.” No! “Simon, do yo love me more than these?” He (Jesus) went to the depth of everything, to the bottom of everything; so this bottom of everything pulls everything along with it. And Peter, who loved him, ended up dying like him….
St. Thomas Says, more or less, than man finds his dignity in the choice of what he values most in life and from which he expects the greatest satisfaction.

PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE JUBILEE OF MERCY
Lord Jesus Christ,you have taught us to be merciful like the
heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things;
made Peter weep after his betrayal,
and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!"
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness
in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error:
let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
Them wine, hosts, and tabernacle candle may be offered in honor of a
loved one for a month. THE WINE consecrated and distributed at all Masses today has been offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of Candida Morales. THE CANDLES used today at all Masses have been offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of Eralia Torres.

¿Me Amas?
Cuando estaban todos juntos en esa mañana...y Jesús había hecho el desayuno para todos (qué tipo de atención!) y nadie se atrevía a hablar porque todos sabían que era el Señor. Estando cerca de Simón, le dice en voz muy baja, sin que los demás darse cuenta, “Simón, ¿me amas más que éstos" esta es la culmi-nación de la moral cristiana: el principio y el final de la moral cristiana. Él no le dijo: "Simón, me traicionaste. Simon, piensa cuántos errores que ha realizado. Si-mon, cuántas traiciones! SiSi-mon, sólo piensa que puede cometer el mismo error de mañana y el día después. Piensa lo frágil que eres, lo cobarde que eres en frente de mí ". ¡No! "Simón, ¿me amas más que éstos?" Él (Jesús) fue a la profundidad de todo, hasta el fondo de todo; por lo que este fondo de todo lleva a todo junto con él. Y Pedro, que lo amaba, terminó muriendo como él ....
Santo Tomás dice, más o menos, que el hombre encuentra su dignidad en la elección de lo que más valora en la vida y de la que él espera que la mayor satisfacción.

Oración Para el Jubileo de la Misericordia
Señor Jesucristo,
tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él.
Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conoci-eras el don de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso. Tú has queri-do que también tus ministros fueran revestiqueri-dos de de-bilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Mis-ericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos.
