Fourth Sunday Of Easter
Palabra de Dios Predicada a Todo el Mundo,
Sin Fronteras
Pablo y Bernabé habían predicado a los judíos el
mensaje de Jesucristo, pero se dieron cuenta que los judíos habían cerrado sus corazones al mensaje de ellos. No querían reconocer que Jesús cumplió la profecía del Antiguo Testamento.
Pablo y Bernabé iniciaron la apertura hacia “los de fuera.”
Ellos, que no fueron testigos de la Pascua, tenían mucha fe en
Jesús y querían llevar su mensaje de fe a todos que lo deseaban
escucharlo.
Se puede oír tal anuncio, pero sin la interiorización de la fe, el
anuncio puede quedar sin recepción, sin aceptación, sin credibilidad por falta de un arraigo espiritual. Los paganos o gentiles
aceptaron el mensaje; ¡muchos llegaron a escucharlo dos sábados seguidos! El Espíritu Santo les tocó a los paganos y les
abrió los oídos; qué alegría tuvieron. Pero los judíos resistieron
la prédica de Pablo, y aun perseguían y expulsaron a Pablo y
Bernabé de Antioquía. Podemos ver que Pablo y Bernabé dieron más atención a su prédica a los gentiles. Sí, la Palabra de
Dios es para todo el mundo, no importa su origen o si son judíos
o cristianos o sin una religión.
Me hace pensar en cómo estoy cuando alguien está compartiendo su conocimiento de
Jesucristo y el evangelio en la
vida. A veces estoy súper
atenta y otras veces por preocupaciones, cansancio, prejuicios y distracciones no estoy
prestándole toda mi atención.
Eso puede pasar a cada uno
de nosotros, pero ¿qué podemos hacer para que el evangelio de Jesucristo nos toque? Dios nos invita a creer y si estemos
dispuestos a abrirnos a la Palabra, el Espíritu Santo nos ayudará
a tener fe y estar atentos. Si alguien no acepte el evangelio que
ustedes comparten con él, vayan a otro para hablarle de la vida
de un cristiano y quién es Jesús y qué ha hecho y dicho Jesús.

Dear Parish Family,
Parenting is not easy, as I am sure many of you realize. As
parents, my husband and I always wanted what was best for
our children. We were there to guide or “shepherd” our
children from the moment they were born. As they grewup, we began to see them slowly detach themselves from us,
because they felt they were able to guide themselves.
But our children still turn to us for guidance, especially
when they are struggling with some difficulty in their life.
Don’t get me wrong, they share with us their happiness as
well, but it is at the difficult times they turn back to us to
seek our love and guidance. Our children know that if they
“fall” we are always here to help them get back up on their
feet and offer guidance if they want it.
Jesus, our good shepherd, is very much like a parent. He is
always there for us to love and guide us to become what He
wants us to be. But there comes a time when we want our
independence from Jesus, we want to do things our way
even if it’s against the will of God. By our desire to do
things our way, we bog ourselves down in sin. But we
reflect and return to God to seek once again His
forgiveness and shepherding.
Let’s not turn away from the shepherding of Jesus for it is
only through Him that we can obtain salvation in this world.
Let us listen to His voice through the daily reading of His
word in sacred scripture, through the voices of those here
to shepherd us: our Pope, our Bishop, our Priest, and lay
ministers whom have heard the voice of God and been led to
minister to God’s people. Let us listen to Jesus’ voice in the
silence of our prayer, in order that we may hear where
Jesus , our good shepherd, is guiding us.
Have a wonderful week.
Peace & Love to all, June
