Reflexión Semanal
Weekly Reflection
Thriving under the Gardener’s care
Dar fruto con el cuidado del Jardinero
Today’s readings and prayers center on the metaphor
of the vine and the branches which speaks to Jesus’
relationship with us. In biblical times this imagery
would be readily understood due to the agrarian lifestyle of the people. In our twenty-first century setting,
many of us marvel at the handiwork of a “green
thumb.” In the gospel, Jesus describes God the Father
as the premier gardener, who cares for the vine, Jesus.
Branches grow from this loving care. We are these
branches and our lives testify to the yield produced
when we live in the truth of Christ. In his letter, John
references this concept by explaining “that love must
be shown in deed and truth.” In the reading from Acts,
Paul gives us a personal example by referencing “the
pruning” he received on the road to Damascus. While
listening to the story, the people, knowing Paul’s past,
are suspicious of him but he speaks out “so boldly” and
with such fire in the name of Jesus that the people
come to believe. Just as God nurtured and cultivated
Paul so he does for each of us. John records Jesus
saying to the apostles, “You have already been pruned
because of the word I spoke to you.” This is our reality
as well. We have received the word of God at our baptism. We must continue to be
responsive to God and heed
Jesus’ words: “Just as a branch
cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so
neither can you unless you remain in me.” With this understanding in mind, we come together as the responsorial
psalm suggests and praise God
“in the assembly of his people”
bearing witness to his cultivating care.
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy se centran en la
metáfora de la viña y sus frutos, símbolo de nuestra
relación con Jesús. En los tiempos bíblicos, esta imagen se entendía muy bien, porque la vida del pueblo
era agrícola. En el siglo veintiuno, muchos de nosotros
nos asombramos con el trabajo de alguien que es buen
jardinero. En el Evangelio, Jesús describe a Dios Padre como el mejor de los jardineros, quien cuida de su
viña, Jesús. De este amor, crecen los sarmientos. Nosotros somos esos sarmientos y nuestras vidas son el
testimonio de lo que se produce cuando vivimos en la
verdad de Cristo. En su carta, san Juan hace referencia a este concepto, al explicar que el amor se demuestra “de verdad y con obras.” En la lectura del libro de
los Hechos, san Pablo nos da un ejemplo personal al
hablar de cómo Dios lo “podó” en el camino de Damasco. Al escuchar su historia, el pueblo duda de sus palabras porque conocen el pasado de Pablo, pero habla
con tanta convicción y con tanto ardor en nombre de
Jesús, que el pueblo le cree. Así mismo Dios nos nutre
y nos cultiva para que demos frutos igual que Pablo. San Juan escribe que Jesús les dijo a los apóstoles, “Ustedes ya están [podados] por las palabras que
les he hablado.” Esta es también nuestra
realidad, por medio de nuestro bautismo,
hemos recibido la palabra de Dios. Nuestra continua respuesta a Dios es hacer caso a las palabras de Jesús quien nos dice,
“Como el sarmiento no puede dar fruto por
sí, si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco
ustedes, si no permanecen en mí.” Este es
el pensamiento que al entenderlo da frutos,
con el cual nos reunimos y por el cual podemos decir las palabras del Salmo, “El
Señor es mi alabanza en la gran asamblea.”

DID YOU KNOW?
Adults are responsible for reporting abuse
When any adult has reason to suspect that a child is being or has been abused, he or she has a moral (and often
legal) responsibility to report suspicions to civil authorities. Reporting suspected abuse takes courage. Adults
who take a stand for children and make the call are often
responsible for saving a child from terrible torment. Learn
more about how to identify and report suspected abuse
by reading chapter 9.8.1 of the Administrative Handbook for the Archdiocese of
Los Angeles. Go to: http://handbook.laarchdiocese.org/chapter-9/section-9-8/

Celebremos los 50 días de Pascua
Es la Pascua, el paso, la victoria del

discípulos recibieron el Espíritu Santo. La Iglesia celebra
este acontecimiento con 50 días de fiesta, de canto, de
esperanza. Es el tiempo del "aleluya", del grito que invita
una y otra vez a alabar y dar gracias al Señor, "porque es
eterna su misericordia”. Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!

¿Sabía Usted?
Los adultos son responsables de
reportar el abuso
Cuando cualquier adulto en nuestra comunidad sospecha
de que un menor esté siendo o haya sido abusado, tiene
la obligación moral (y muchas veces también legal) de
reportar su sospecha a las autoridades civiles. Reportar
una sospecha de abuso exige valentía. Sin embargo,
cuando un adulto toma esta decisión y hace el reporte,
con frecuencia salva a un menor de un tormento terrible.
Para saber más cómo identificar y reportar sospechas de
abuso, lea el capítulo 9.8.1 del manual administrativo de
la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. El manual lo puede

Kindred Hearts Ministries Presents: The Gift
of Listening – A Gift of Love
In a world full of technology, quick text replies and much
talk, we attend to what it means to foster listening skills in
effective communication. Real listening is more than
hearing; it is being present to the other in ways that communicate, “What you have to say is important to me because I respect you and you are important to me.” We
listen with mind, heart, soul and body! We will explore
various aspects of listening including how we listen to
God and how God listens to us. Please join Sister Regina Robbins on Wednesday, May 6, 7:00 – 8:30 PM at
Notre Dame Center, 1776 Hendrix Avenue, Thousand
Oaks, CA 91360. TO REGISTER: Please contact Sister
Marie Paul Grech at
