Please inscribe the names of non-parishioners (e.g. family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers) in the prayer intention book found in the church vestibule. Please inscribe their name only once as their needs will be remembered at Masses throughout the year. If you are hospitalized or homebound and would like to receive Communion, please call Pat & Gary Boylan at 941-204-7837. You may also contact someone from the Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy who will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy or other prayers with you. Please call Lillian Pente at 843-705-7170. Many enduring images of Church come to us from the New Testament. One is Paul’s image: “The Body of Christ.” Another comes from our gospel today: “The Vine and the Branches.” Both are metaphors of living organisms. For both, Christ is the most important element. Christ is the head of the Body and the symbol of authority and purpose. Christ is the vine that brings life and nutrients to the branches that produce fruit. Anyone who has visited a winery knows the significance of the vine. If it’s cut, the branches wither and the crop fails. Why is it important to have both images? John’s image reminds us that the Church can’t survive if it’s separated from Christ. We can live only if we remain in Christ so that the power of grace can continue to infuse us with everything we need to bear the fruit of love, compassion and mercy. Paul’s metaphor keeps us humble. Regardless of how this Body is structured, Christ is the true head; we are to submit ourselves to obedience to him regardless of how important we are in this world. We also know we belong as a community to Christ and in communion with one another. There are many parts to the Body and many clusters of fruit on the vine. To leave either is to separate ourselves from Christ. That’s why praying together each week is so important. It reminds us who we are and whom we belong to. Let us offer praise for this vine and for this Body into which our baptism has called us. MARY KATHARINE DEELEY [email protected] St. Gregory the Great Adoration Society “Would you not spend one hour with Me?” Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks for the many blessings we have received. This hour in peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament can also be an opportunity to pray for our friends and family who are sick or just need our prayers. Christ instituted this Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18). Our wish is to have someone present for each of the 24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation and reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry. Please be generous with your time and sign up for one hour of adoration. If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for just one hour per week please call John Klinger 7577454 or send an email to [email protected]. ADORACIÓN QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA PARA DAR FRUTO “Hijos míos: No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras”. Las palabras de Juan nos llegan hoy cuando el pasaje del Evangelio nos presenta con la gran imagen del viñedo y las ramas. Jesús usa la imagen como un aviso a los que se han empezado a distanciar de la senda del Señor. Esto sucede cuando amamos a Dios y a otros “con palabras o dichos” y no con “la verdad y las obras”. ¿Qué significa para nosotros “permanecer en Cristo”? El Señor nos da un ejemplo con la extensión de la metáfora. Si permanecemos en él, daremos mucho fruto. Como ramas sacamos la fuerza de Cristo que es la viña. Esa fuerza nos facilita dar fruto hacer el trabajo de los verdaderos discípulos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Primera lectura — Bernabé explica a los discípulos en Jerusalén la conversión de Pablo (Hechos 9:26-31). Salmo — Bendito sea el Señor. Aleluya (Salmo 22 [21]). Segunda lectura — Dios nos ordena que creamos en el nombre de Jesucristo y que nos amemos como él nos ama (1 Juan 3:18-24). Evangelio — Los que viven en Jesús y Jesús vive en ellos producen mucho fruto (Juan 15:1-8). LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Martes: Miércoles: Jueves: Viernes: Sábado: Domingo: Hch 14:5-18; Sal 115 (114):1-4, 15-16; Jn 14:21-26 Hch 14:19-28; Sal 145 (144):10-13ab, 21; Jn 14:27-31a Hch 15:1-6; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Jn 15:1-8 Hch 15:7-21; Sal 96 (95):1-3, 10; Jn 15:9-11 Hch 15:22-31; Sal 57 (56):8-10, 12; Jn 15:12-17 Hch 16:1-10; Sal 100 (99):1b-3, 5; Jn 15:18-21 Hch 10:25-36, 34-35, 44-48; Sal 98 (97):1-4; 1 Jn 4:7-10 o 1 Jn 4:11-16; Jn 15:9-17 o Jn 17:11b-19 QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA 3 DE MAYO DE 2015 No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras. — 1 Juan 3:18 Durante la Última Cena, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles: “Yo soy la vid, ustedes son los sarmientos” (Juan 15:5). Jesús añade que los sarmientos (ramas) que permanecen en él, dan mucho fruto. Según la agricultura, la vid es una parra, es decir, una planta perenne de ramas frondosas. Una parte importante de la vid son las hojas. Es obvio que una vid tiene hojas, pero Jesús no las menciona, prefiere enfocarse en los sarmientos. Las partes de la vid son las raíces, tronco, sarmientos, hojas, flores y fruto. Según esta división Jesús sería el tronco, pero él dice ser la vid completa. Esta es una imagen de la unidad que Jesús quiere entre sus seguidores. Recordemos que Jesús celebra la Última Cena con sus discípulos. La comunidad de discípulos unidos a Jesús formamos la vid. Los sarmientos o ramas conducen agua y minerales a las hojas, flores y frutos, y son útiles en tanto estén unidos a la vid. Lo mismo vale de los cristianos, discípulos de Jesús. Son ellos y ellas los que hacen presente y le dan vida a Jesús en el mundo de hoy. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
