We Christians do not always reflect the image of Christ to the
people we encounter in our everyday lives. Today’s Gospel
from John 13:31-35, gives us the bottom-line on Christian
discipleship. “I give you a new commandment: love one
another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one
another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if
you have love for one another.”
This weekend is our Saint Vincent de Paul Society
monthly door collection. Your donations are dedicated to
directly helping those in need in our Holy Trinity parish
community, and as needed, assist to our neighboring St. Vincent de
Paul conferences. Please consider giving generously.
The challenge in this passage is so huge that for many of us it is
easier to put it in the too hard basket and move on to lesser
challenges. What is Jesus asking us to do? He is asking us to
love everyone, even the Judases in our lives, with the same selflessness, understanding and forgiveness that he offers each and

This week let our prayer be that everyone we meet will see the
radiance of Christ shining through us and know that we are, in
fact, disciples of Jesus the Christ.
We pray that the power of
the resurrection of Jesus
may be seen among us:
in compassion, kindness and patience,
in the love that binds us together,
in the courage to forgive
and be forgiven.
We pray Our God,
for the world in which your Son
lived, died and was raised;
may the whole world
be made new in him,
to your praise and glory.

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
24 de abril 2016
Quinto Domingo de Pascua
El Impacto de la Vida Cotidiana. El comienzo de la Pascua es una
noticia explosiva, conmovedora, capaz de remecer el universo: "Cristo
ha resucitado. ¡Él vive!" Esta certeza embriagante se parece a una
declaración de amor, cuando el corazón que se había achicado por la
incertidumbre de pronto se siente con derecho de expandirse con el
gozo. Y lo mismo que en una declaración de amor existe un poco el
riesgo de dejarse llevar por esa embriaguez y suponer que las dificultades simplemente se han esfumado y que de repente todo será sencillo, expedito y feliz. Sigamos la comparación. Los días pasan y las
mismas personas que hace poco sentían que se reventaban de gozo
descubren que no pocas asperezas y trabajos están todavía por delante.
Por decir algo, el hecho de que se amen puede hacer llevadero que
haya que pagar impuestos, pero los impuestos siguen siendo algo tal
vez enojoso de preparar y de pagar. Algo parecido nos cuenta con
hermosa pedagogía el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, como se
ve bien en la primera lectura de hoy. Es verdad que Jesús vive. Es
verdad que su vida nos da vida y fuerza y gozo. Pero también es verdad que "hay que pasar mucho para entrar en el reino de Dios." Vivir
la Pascua, entonces, no es vivir de ilusiones. No es imaginar un mundo
rosado o un jardín de delicias, sino comprender que aunque esta tierra
sigue siendo tierra de sembradío, la cosecha está asegurada y el amor,
La Mirada Fija en la Meta. Y sin embargo, así como hay que ser
"realistas," es preciso vivir en la saludable y bella tensión de la esperanza. Las realidades y dificultades de cada día nos pueden ir desgastando, como también sucede a las parejas y familias que sienten que su
amor se desgasta y anquilosa con la rutina. Por eso es necesario saber
levantar la mirada de cuando en cuando para recordar hacia dónde va
el camino y para sonreír con las caricias que nuestro Padre Dios sabe
darnos incluso mientras vamos caminando. Una de esas caricias es el
libro del Apocalipsis. Mucha gente lo ve sólo como un libro "terrible,"
como una colección de cuadros surreales que cautivan y marean la
vista. En realidad, el Apocalipsis es el gran Manifiesto de la Esperanza
Cristiana. Es un canto colmado de certeza. Es una poesía que se eleva
de en medio de la rutina que asfixia o la persecución que paraliza. A
ver, ¿quién no se pone en movimiento para ir hacia esa mansión de la
que no se nos habla en la segunda lectura: Ésta es la morada de Dios
con los hombres: acampará entre ellos. Ellos serán su pueblo, y Dios
estará con ellos y será su Dios. Enjugará las lágrimas de sus ojos. Ya
no habrá muerte, ni luto, ni llanto, ni dolor. Porque el primer mundo
ha pasado? Caminar en la esperanza no es caminar en la irrealidad.
Caminar en la amargura no es caminar en la realidad. Lo real tiene su
arista de dolor pero tiene también su música propia, la que le dio Cristo muriendo en realidad para, en realidad, resucitar.
El Amor es lo más parecido a la presencia de Cristo. A medida que se
acerca la fiesta de la Ascensión y van avanzando con prisa estos días
del tiempo pascual es inevitable preguntarnos por la presencia de
nuestro Amado, nuestro Señor Jesús. El primer día de la Pascua, la
Magdalena corrió a buscarlo, y en esa prisa de amor estábamos todos
representados porque a todos nos hace falta Él, pues sólo Él es
Maestro del Amor que no muere.El evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que
ese amor de Él es tan visible como Él mismo. Escuchemos de nuevo:
"Hijos míos, me queda poco de estar con vosotros. Os doy un mandamiento nuevo: que os améis unos a otros; como yo os he amado,
amaos también entre vosotros." La partida de Cristo y el mandamiento
del amor están relacionados. Uno no puede amar como Cristo sin
Cristo, y por ese el que ama como Cristo es presencia de Cristo.
Amén.

are formed providing an uplifting Christian community

renewal weekend, every church event will feel like coming home.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them—Matthew 18:20
Spiritual Growth
At the heart of every renewal weekend is God’s faithful
and unending love. Regardless of whether you are
deeply rooted in your faith or merely beginning your
walk with the Lord, Christ Renews His Parish is a journey of spiritual growth.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you—James 4:8

“Behold, your Mother”
John 19:27
There will be a Consecration (or renewal of Consecration) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Ceremony on SATURDAY, JUNE 4 at 10:00 AM, the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
This will be a brief ceremony. Either an individual member of the parish, an entire family,
ministry or group, may consecrate themselves to Our Blessed Mother. This holds much power
spiritually. When we ask Mary to be our Mother by consecrating/entrusting ourselves to her, we
place ourselves under Her care and protection, and allow her to embrace us even more closely.
On June 4 there will be sheets of paper available for you to fill out with your name and/or the
names of the people, ministry, or group that you wish to entrust to her. A binder will be placed
before the statue of our Blessed Mother in the sanctuary. During the consecration ceremony we will process forward to place our sheet
of paper in the binder.
If you cannot be physically present and are joining us in spirit, you may email names of individuals, families, groups or ministries you
wish to entrust to Our Blessed Mother, and they will be written in the binder for you. When sending this email:
Please put “Consecration to the IHM” in the subject line
List the names/or family name, ministry or group you wish to consecrate (entrust) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Send the email to Terri Thomas at [email protected]

There are wonderful videos that will greatly enrich your 33 day

and enjoy! A digital copy of the book is there as well.
Consider forming a small group or gather your family and do
this preparation together. You will be blessed!
