LA IMPORTANCIA DE VER PARA CREER EN LA
EVANGELIZACIÓN CRISTIANA
1.- Los discípulos se llenaron de alegría al ver al Señor. Nos
dicen los evangelios que los discípulos quedaron desconcertados
y llenos de miedo después de la muerte de Jesús. No habían
entendido las palabras que Jesús, antes de morir, les había dicho
sobre su resurrección. Cuando la Magdalena les dijo que había
visto a Jesús, no la creyeron. Sólo después de que ellos mismos le
vieron, estando reunidos en una casa, con las puertas cerradas por
miedo a los judíos, se llenaron de alegría y creyeron. Lo mismo le
pasó a Tomás; sólo creyó cuando se vio ante él y pudo comprobar
con sus propios ojos que Jesús tenía en las manos las marcas de
los clavos, y el costado llagado. Fue el ver lo que les llevó a
creer. La importancia de ver para creer fue grande y decisiva para
los discípulos del Señor. Lo mismo sigue pasando hoy día para la
mayor parte de la gente, aunque se trate de otras maneras de ver.
Una fe rutinaria en Jesús y en su evangelio se puede adquirir por
la simple tradición oral, pero una fe viva y transformadora en el
Cristo resucitado sólo se adquiere mediante una visión personal,
mediante un encuentro vivo y profundo con el Jesús resucitado.
Y sigue siendo verdad que para llegar a este encuentro vivo y
profundo con Jesús tiene mucha importancia lo que vemos, sea
con los ojos del cuerpo, o con los ojos del alma. Sobre todo, lo
que los demás ven en el comportamiento de los que nos
llamamos cristianos y decimos ser discípulos de Cristo. Creer con
fe viva sin haber visto es lo menos frecuente. Por eso, los
cristianos debemos actuar de tal manera que los que nos vean se
sientan animados a creer en el Jesús en el que nosotros decimos
creer. Porque, si ven que decimos una cosa, pero hacemos otra,
no nos creerán.
2.- Los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurrección del
Señor Jesús con mucho valor. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles
se nos dice que fue el modo de vida que llevaban los primeros
cristianos lo que animaba a los no creyentes a seguirles. No era
tanto lo que oían decir a los apóstoles, sino lo que veían que los
apóstoles hacían. Era el ver, más que el oír, lo que animaba a la
gente a seguir a los apóstoles. San Agustín, que fundamenta su
Regla en este pasaje de los Hechos, lo primero que recomienda a
sus monjes es que vivan como vivían los primeros discípulos de
Jesús, sin tener nada propio, sino poniéndolo todo en común: “no
consideréis nada como propio, sino tenedlo todo en común…, no
con criterios de igualdad, porque no todos tenéis idéntica salud,
sino conforme a la necesidad de cada cual. Pues así leéis en los
Hechos de los Apóstoles: tenían todas las cosas en común y se
distribuía a cada uno según su necesidad”. La Iglesia cristiana,
nuestro Iglesia, debe tener esto siempre muy en cuenta: que la
gente vea que vivimos como verdaderos hermanos. Si no nos ven
así, no creerán en nosotros, por muchas bellas palabras que les
digamos.
3.- En esto consiste el amor a Dios: en que guardemos sus
mandamientos. “Obras son amores y no buenas razones”;
“dímelo hilando”; “el mundo actual necesita más testigos que
predicadores”. Es fácil decir con palabras que amamos a Dios,
pero es difícil demostrarlo con nuestras obras. Cristo nos dio un
solo mandamiento, un mandamiento nuevo: que nos amemos
como él nos amó. Si intentamos cumplir este mandamiento de
Cristo somos buenos cristianos, si no hacemos todo lo posible por
cumplirlo no somos buenos cristianos y no podemos decir que
amamos de verdad a Dios. Él dice que ama a Dios, pero no ama a
sus hermanos es un mentiroso, nos dice san Juan. La mejor
prueba de nuestro amor a Dios es nuestro amor a los hermanos,
es el cumplimiento del mandamiento nuevo de Jesús. Si el mundo
ve que los cristianos queremos amarnos como Cristo nos amó,
creerá en nosotros y, consecuentemente, creerá en el Cristo en el
que nosotros decimos creer. La mejor manera que tenemos los
cristianos para convertir nuestro mundo a Cristo es cumplir el
mandamiento nuevo que él nos dio. ¡Que el cumplimiento del
mandamiento nuevo de Jesús, sea la mejor prueba de nuestro
amor a Dios!

Thank You from the St. Vincent de Paul Society
St. Joseph's Table Event - those involved in planning, making or
donating food, serving, set up/clean up and also all who attended
the event – this event reinforced how generous our parish is
towards helping those in need.
The month of March was quite a busy month. Our Parish's

Pack 140 Wolves/Den 10 for the large donation of
non-perishable food to the SVdP Pantry which was a result of
their nutrition activity.
The students from Faith Formation and School, Youth Ministry,
the Scouts and adult volunteers for their help on the weekend of
March 7/8 for the bag distribution and on March 15/16 at the
truck for the clothing/housewares collection.
Also to the parish groups that served soup and bread to those
who came to pray the Stations of the Cross on Fridays
during Lent.
On all of these occasions, there were donations gladly given,
whether of time, talent or treasure that will be used to assist those
in need. Thanks to all. Happy Easter to all!

COMMUNITY NEWS
FRIENDS OF THE RESURRECTION GET-TOGETHER
SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2015 FROM 9 -11 AM AT
ST. SCHOLASTICA'S CHURCH, WOODRIDGE, IL
If you are looking for more hope in your life and are impressed by the Resurrectionist who has
been ministering in your parish, then, come to the next Friends of the Resurrection
Get-Together on Saturday, April 25 from 9 -11 am at St. Scholastica's Church.
Friends of the Resurrection is an informal group of parishioners from parishes staffed by the
Congregation of the Resurrection in the Joliet Diocese. We pray together in the context of
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for blessings on the ministry of Resurrectionists
throughout the world and listen to a great speaker.
Our speaker for this next session is the dynamic Rev. Paul Sims, C.R., Ph.D, professor of
education at Concordia University. Father Paul's talk is entitled “Conversion, a Resurrecting
Experience.” He will share with us how the experience of conversion inspired three young men to found the
Congregation of the Resurrection.
After the talk and Benediction, please join us at the parish for a light lunch. There is no cost for this event and there is
nothing to commit to – yet. Our hope is that eventually we will form an association of Friends of the Resurrection in the
Joliet Diocese.
Everyone is welcome including children and young adults. No reservations necessary. Please come!
St. Scholastica's Church is located at 7800 Janes Ave., Woodridge, Il (On Janes, a few blocks South of 75th Street.).
The following parishes in the Joliet Diocese are served by the Congregation of the Resurrection:
St. Pius X (Lombard); Holy Trinity (Westmont); St. Mark (Wheaton); Immaculate Conception (Morris); and
St. Scholastica (Woodridge).
The St. Pius X bulletins are paid for by these advertisers; please thank them by supporting their businesses.
