GOOD NEWS REFLECTION: HOW TO BE A GOOD FRIEND OF JESUS

Servanthood is the mark of true Christian living. Jesus emphasized this during the Last Supper, saying that he came not to be served, but to serve, and that likewise we should serve one another. In his parables, he often referred to believers as "servants" of the Kingdom. But in this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus says that he wants us to be his friends, not his slaves. Is he contradicting himself? Not at all! Friends serve because they care. Slaves serve because of duty and the fear of

punishment. Jesus said, "If you keep my

commandments, you will remain in my love." Do we hear this as a friend or as a slave? Slaves are afraid of what will happen if they fail to keep God's commandments; they are self-protective. Friends are eager to find out what God commands, because they view the commandments from the perspective of love, as opportunities to serve; they are other-oriented. Jesus said, "This is my commandment: Love one another the way I love you." It is the supreme commandment; call it the Commandment of Friendship. He says, "You know how I love you, my friends: I openly share with you everything that the Father tells me." His friends realize that what he shares (through scripture and through the Church) reveals our opportunities to

love. Every commandment is rooted in

love. Every Church teaching is based on scriptures that help us know when and how to love. When we fail to obey, do we lose God's love? Never! Do we lose our place in his love? Yes. By living outside of his commandments, we feel unloved even while being loved. This is slavery. We are enslaved by fear or by false beliefs or by our wounds that have caused us to think that we're not loved enough. God's commandments then feel confining, and if we try to escape, we commit rebellion. Those who do not rebel accept their slavery and obey dutifully in the hope of winning God's love. Friends, on the other hand, know that God always loves them, and in this love, they are free to serve one another joyfully. Are you obeying God like a slave or his best friend? Do you eagerly and happily jump into doing the will of God or do you complain about it? Do you ever want to escape from God's will? What will you do this week to become more aware of his friendship? What raises our relationships with God from slavery into friendship? Describe the differences between obeying out of duty and obeying out of love. How do you define friendship with God? © 2021 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Printed by permission.

REFLEXIÓN DE LAS BUENAS NUEVAS: CÓMO SER UN BUEN AMIGO DE JESÚS

Servicio es la marca de la verdadera vida cristiana. Jesús lo enfatizó durante la Última Cena, diciendo que no vino a ser servido sino a servir, y que nosotros deberíamos hacer lo mismo unos con otros. En sus parábolas, se refería a menudo a los creyentes como "sirvientes" de su Reino. Pero en la lectura del Evangelio de este Domingo, Jesús dice que quiere que seamos sus amigos, no sus esclavos. ¿Se está contradiciendo a sí mismo? ¡Para nada! Los amigos se asisten porque se preocupan. Los esclavos sirven porque es su deber y por temor al castigo. Jesús dijo: "Si guardan mis mandamientos, permanecerán en mi amor." ¿Escuchamos esto como amigo o como esclavo? Los esclavos temen lo que sucederá si fracasan al guardar los mandamientos de Dios; se autoprotegen. Los amigos están ansiosos por saber qué manda Dios, porque ven los mandamientos desde la perspectiva del amor, como oportunidades para servir; están orientados hacia los demás. Jesús dijo: "Este es mi mandamiento: ámense los unos a los otros como yo los amo a ustedes." Es el mandamiento supremo; llámalo el Mandamiento de la Amistad. Él dice: "Ustedes saben cómo los amo, mis amigos: comparto con ustedes todo lo que el Padre me dice." Sus amigos se dan cuenta que lo que comparte (a través de las escrituras y a través de la Iglesia) revela nuestras oportunidades para

amar. Cada mandamiento está enraizado en el amor. Cada enseñanza de la Iglesia está basada en escrituras que pueden ayudarnos a saber cuándo y cómo amar. Cuando fracasamos al obedecer, ¿perdemos el amor de Dios? ¡Nunca! ¿Perdemos nuestro lugar en su amor? Sí. Viviendo fuera de sus mandamientos, no nos sentimos amados, aún mientras somos amados. Esto es esclavitud. Estamos

esclavizados por el temor o por falsas creencias o por nuestras heridas que nos hacen pensar que no somos amados lo suficiente. Entonces, los mandamientos de Dios parecen limitarnos y si tratamos de escapar, cometemos una rebeldía. Aquellos que no se rebelan, aceptan su esclavitud y obedecen por obligación con la esperanza de ganarse el amor de Dios. Los amigos, por otra parte, saben que Dios siempre los ama, y que en este amor, son libres de servirse unos a otros

alegremente. ¿Obedeces a Dios como esclavo o como su

mejor amigo? ¿Saltas ansiosa y alegremente hacia la voluntad de Dios o protestas por ella? ¿Alguna vez quieres escapar de la voluntad de Dios? ¿Qué harás esta semana para ser más consciente de su amistad? ¿Qué levanta nuestras relaciones con Dios desde la esclavitud hacia la amistad? Describe las diferencias entre obedecer por obligación y obedecer

MOTHER’S DAY NOVENA

Our annual Mother’s Day Novena begins today,

Sunday, May 9th_{. Deceased and living mothers may be}

enrolled in this novena. Novena envelopes for those who need them are on the shelves by the front center doors of the church.

FOR CHURCH IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN

EUROPE

Next week we will take up the Collection for the

Church in Central and Eastern Europe. This

Collection supports the Church in more

than 25 countries that still struggle to recover from

former communist rule. Funds from this Collection

support pastoral care, catechesis, building

renovations, and seminary formation. Your support

restores the Church and builds the future in this

region

. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the Collection next week. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/ccee.

Many countries transitioning from the former communist regimes in Eastern Europe continue to be stricken by

poverty.

In Albania, a country that experienced a

particularly harsh form of communism, many young

women facing extreme poverty succumb to

misleading promises of marriage or work

opportunities, drop out of school, and travel abroad.

Separated from their families, they often find

themselves in the difficult circumstances of

domestic violence or even forced prostitution

. The Catholic Church of Albania, which is being restored after the fall of communism, is at the forefront of helping young women overcome these risks through tuition support, the arts, faith activities, and culinary workshops that prepare them for work that allows them to support themselves and to contribute to their family budgets.

With support from the Collection for the Church in

Central and Eastern Europe, the Laura Vicuña

Center and the Rogationist Fathers’ high school

has provided education, skills training, and brighter

futures to 13 young women from the town of Tale.

When you participate in the collection, you help to

make education and life opportunities a reality for

at-risk youth, such as the young women in Tale,

and you provide a witness of the faith to a

recovering region. More information about the

collection and the projects it supports can be found

at www.usccb.org/ccee.

NOVENA DEL DIA DE LAS MADRES

Nuestra Novena Anual del Día de las Madres comienza este domingo, 9º de mayo. En esta novena pueden ser inscritas las madres vivas o difuntas. Los sobres para la novena pueden ser encontrados en la parte de atrás y central de la entrada de la iglesia.

PARA LA IGLESIA EN EUROPA CENTRAL Y ORIENTAL

La próxima semana realizaremos la Colecta para la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental. Esta colecta apoya a la Iglesia en más de 25 países que aún siguen luchando para recuperarse del antiguo régimen comunista. Los fondos de esta Colecta financian el cuidado pastoral, la catequesis, la renovación de sus edificios y la formación de seminaristas. El apoyo de ustedes restaura la Iglesia y construye el futuro en esa región. Por favor, en oración, consideren cómo pueden dar su apoyo a la Colecta la próxima semana. Para más

información, entren a: www.usccb.org/ccee. Muchos

países que están en transición por los antiguos regímenes comunistas en Europa Oriental continúan siendo afectados por la pobreza. En Albania, un país que vivió una forma particularmente dura del

comunismo, muchas mujeres jóvenes que enfrentan una pobreza extrema, sucumben ante las falsas promesas de matrimonio o de oportunidades de trabajo, dejando de estudiar y viajando al extranjero. Al estar separadas de sus familias, a menudo se encuentran en unas penosas situaciones de violencia doméstica e, incluso, hasta se ven forzadas a prostituirse. La Iglesia Católica en Albania, la cual está siendo restaurada luego de la caída del comunismo, está a la vanguardia ayudando a estas jóvenes a superar esos riesgos, apoyándolas con la matrícula, con las artes, con actividades de fe y con talleres de cocina que las preparan para trabajar, lo cual les permite mantenerse ellas mismas y contribuir a su presupuesto familiar. Con el apoyo de la Colecta para la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental, el Centro Laura Vicuña y la escuela secundaria de los Padres

Rogacionistas, les ha brindado educación, capacitación en habilidades y mejores futuros a 13 mujeres jóvenes del pueblo de Tale. Cuando ustedes participan en la Colecta, están ayudando a hacer realidad la educación y las oportunidades de vida para jovencitas en riesgo como las jóvenes en Tale y, a la vez, ustedes están dando testimonios de fe a una región que aún está camino a la recuperación. Pueden encontrar más información sobre la colecta y sobre los proyectos que ésta apoya en www.usccb.org/ccee.
