SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
Saturdays from 3-4 PM
or by
appointment
Somerville/Medford, MA.
Easter season is winding down. Last
Thursday we celebrated—40 days after
Easter Sunday—the Ascension of our Lord.
Next Sunday we will celebrate Pentecost, the feast
day of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus insists that he must return to the Father for
good, because his time has a man, his mission as a
man has run its full course.
For Jesus, as for all of us, earthly life has a limited
scope and purpose.
All through Easter time we have been reading from
chapters 14 to 17 of the Gospel according to John.
It is possibly the most important meditation about
Jesus and us that we can read and return to read as
much as possible.
Exactly because we are human, and our most important activities have to be learned and practiced in
time, with patience and dedication, the only way to
really become friends is dedicating time and energy
to a promising relationship.
It is a very familiar and inevitable process.
Friendship, love, family, any important relationships
need time and reasons.
We need time because human knowledge is never
instantaneous. We need reasons because otherwise
why should we invest time and energy in it?
Jesus came to give us his time (his whole life, indeed)
for sure, and most definitely his “energy”, which we
call Holy Spirit.
Too often we find ourselves short of time and energy
to devote to our relationships, the most important
ones included: we see how easy seems to be to fall
out of love with each other, ourselves, God even.
The Holy Spirit is Jesus most important gift: the Spirit
gives us the chance to relate to others, ourselves, and
God with an inexhaustible reserve of energy.
In Jesus’ Spirit we become capable of things unheard
and unexpected. Stephen became capable to repeat
the same sacrifice of Christ.
Many have followed suit since, even today. Maybe we
will never be called to be martyrs in the same sense
of Stephen, but when we take seriously our desire to
love the people we say we love, we certainly wish we
could do anything for them,
In the sacrifice of the martyrs, in the sacrifice of people who truly love someone else there is this promise
of eternity that only the Spirit of Christ fulfills.
Fr. Stefano
