Dear Families:
As a celebra on of the resurrec on of Jesus, Easter brings us a sense of euphoria and well-being. However, we must remember that Chris anity is essen ally a balance. This Sunday will remind us that being a Chris an has its moments of joy, but also mes of sadness and pain.
The first reading refers to the persecu on of the apostles in the early church. A er Jewish authori es had them flogged, ordering them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, the apostles le the Sanhedrin, “...rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name...” (Acts 5:40-41)..
In today's Gospel, Jesus reveals himself to Peter, at the Sea of Tiberias, and then tells him of his impending violent
demise: "When you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this to signify the means by which Peter would die, and thereby glorify God. (Jn 21:18-19).
The cateche cal instruc on for this Third Sunday of Easter is that the future glory that awaits us, for being incorporated with the risen Christ, does not exempt us - rather requires us - to struggle and suffer, here on earth. To partake in the
resurrec on and glorifica on of Christ, we first have to partake in his crucifixion. As St. Paul teaches us: "All who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Tim 3:12).
Some mes, because the world disagrees with us, and other mes because we have to disagree with the world, the world takes advantage of the failures of Church members to shake and discredit her, thus, causing much grief to men and women of good will who love the Church and, who by loving the Church, love Christ. O en, we must speak up as firmly as the apostles did before the Sanhedrin: "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).
Do not be afraid. "He has made his dwelling among us..." (John 1:14), and with us: "I am with you always, un l the end of the ages" (Mt 28:20). He is always present in his Church and in each and every one of us, when we receive him sacramentally in the Eucharist (Communion). Let us say it with faith as did the disciples of Emmaus: "... stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over...So he went in to stay with them...".
(Luke 24:1-35)
May Jesus dwell in your hearts and in your families.

: Acts 5:27.32, 40b-41; Rev. 5:11-14; John 21:1-19 [1-14]
Psalm 30
Tercer Domingo de Pascua 1 ero de Mayo del 2022
Hechos 5:27-32, 40b-41; Apo 5:11-14; Juan 21:1-19 [1-14]
Salmo 30 [29 ] Queridas familias:
Resurrección de Jesús, la Pascua (Easter), nos trae una sensación de euforia y bienestar; pero hemos de recordar que el cris anismo es esencialmente equilibrio. Este domingo nos va a recordar que ser cris ano ene sus momentos de alegría y también los momentos de tristeza y dolor.
La primera lectura se refiere a la persecución de los apóstoles en el comienzo de la Iglesia, cuando las autoridades judías los azotaron, aunque ellos salían del Tribunal “contentos de haber merecido aquel ultraje por el nombre de
Jesús” (Hechos 5:40ss).
Y en el evangelio de hoy, tras la entrega del Primado a Pedro en la aparición junto al mar de Tiberíades, Jesús le anuncia su futura muerte violenta. “Cuando eras joven te ceñías e ibas donde querías; pero, cuando seas viejo, extenderás las manos, otro te ceñirá y te llevará a donde no quieras. Esto dijo aludiendo a la muerte con que había de dar gloria a Dios” (Jn 21:18s).
La enseñanza catequé ca de este tercer domingo de Pascua es que la gloria futura que nos espera por estar incorporados a Cristo resucitado no nos exime – antes bien nos exige – luchar y padecer aquí en la erra. Para llegar a ser como el Cristo resucitado y glorioso, hay que ser antes como el Cristo crucificado y paciente. Como enseña San Pablo: “Todos los que quieran vivir piadosamente en Cristo Jesús, sufrirán persecuciones” (2Tim 3:12).
Unas veces, porque el mundo nos llevará la contraria; otras, porque tendremos que llevársela nosotros al mundo. ¡Cómo se aprovecha el mundo de los fallos de miembros de la Iglesia para zarandearla y despres giarla, y así, causar dolor a los hombres y mujeres de buena voluntad que aman a la Iglesia, pues amándola, aman a Cristo! A menudo tendremos que decir con firmeza como los apóstoles ante el Sanedrín (el Consejo de autoridad de los judíos): “Hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres” (Hechos 5:29).
No tengamos miedo, “El ha fijado su enda entre nosotros” (Jn 1:14), y con nosotros “estará todos los días hasta el fin del mundo” (Mt 28:20). Está siempre presente en su Iglesia y en cada uno de nosotros de forma sacramental cuando lo recibimos en la Eucaris a (Comunión). Digamos con fe como los discípulos de Emaus (Lc 24:1-35) “…quédate con nosotros porque atardece y el día ya ha declinado. Y entró a quedarse con ellos”.
Que Jesús esté en sus corazones y en sus familias.
Padre Celestino, Párroco
