Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things

and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramen-

tally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already thee and unite

myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

Comunión Espiritual

Creo Señor que estás presente en el santísimo sacramento del altar. Te adoro y te amo con todo mi corazón. Te pido

humildemente perdón de mis pecados. Deseo recibirte en mi interior, mas no pudiendo, ahora, sacramentalmente,

ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón, y, como si ya hubieses venido, te adoro, te abrazo y me uno íntimamente

a ti. No permitas que jamás me separe de ti. Amén

PARISH

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER: From Easter to Pentecost, each Sunday’s first reading is a passage from the Acts of

the Apostles. The second part of Luke’s writings, Acts tells of the early Christian church, working to fulfill its mission

to spread the gospel to all the world. It was not an easy task. Persecution, hardships, and disagreements often left the

disciples dispirited and adrift. So if Christians from that time were to hear that “the church throughout all Judea, Gali-

lee, and Samaria was at peace” (Acts 9:31), they might have concluded that their persecutors, such as Saul, who in the

previous chapter of Acts was said to be dragging people out of their homes, so intent was he on destroying the church,

had been defeated, or to use words from the Gospel, had been thrown into a fire and burned. But the Lord did not see

Saul as irredeemable. While the first Christians reacted in fear, Jesus showed mercy. Jesus saw in Saul/Paul a person

with the zeal and talent to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, to bear fruit for the church. As Jesus remains in us

and we remain on the true vine, we too are empowered to bear fruit in answering the call of spreading the Good News.

How do you bear fruit in your words and actions?

We Are Disciples in the Body of Christ is the lesson for the 5th Sunday of Easter during this

period called Mystagogia. The importance of being guided in the new faith for those who

were baptized, Confirmed and received their First Holy Communion is what the Church

does for its neophytes. It is a time of “taking it all in”-- of discerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit which they

have been prayed over to receive and which we all can claim for ourselves. These gifts of wisdom, knowl-

edge, faith, gifts of healing, the working of miracles, the gift of prophesy, the gift of tongues, the gift of

interpretation of tongues, the power of distinguishing spirits are gifts we have and can pray that they will

manifest themselves as we use them for the general good.

During the entire 50 days of Easter, we are reminded of how the first Christians studied, prayed, taught and

shared their possessions with others. We read about our Christian history in the Acts of the Apostles. We

come to understand how our faith began with the Jewish people . . . . . they were the first Christians! Jesus

was of the Jewish faith. Peter himself had earlier denied membership in the new faith . . . . . The Way . . . . . to

non-Jewish people, the Gentiles. Peter came to understand through a vision that nothing can stop God’s will

to bestow grace and redemption upon every race and nation. God’s love and mercy are beyond any code or

system. Even though we struggle to include all people, Jesus doesn’t.

Jesus teaches us that he is the vine and our heavenly Father is the vine grower . . . . . we are the branches. This

is one of the most complete descriptions of oneness found in Scripture. We are so much a part of Jesus and he

is so much a part of us, that apart from him, there can be no life. When we are firmly rooted to Jesus, we can

bear much fruit. As we allow ourselves to be pruned of all that is not helping us to grow in love and under-

standing of Jesus’ love and sacrifice for us, we can bear even more fruit.

The Acts of the Apostles gives us a picture of the young church when it was growing rapidly and coping with

everything which came with it. Paul had just returned to Jerusalem to try to join the disciples, but they were

all afraid of him. They wouldn’t even believe that he was a disciple. Even though there were many struggles

in the early Church’s beginning, Acts teaches us that the growing numbers of believers were at peace with

each other and they worked together against their persecutors.

As we grow in our role of discipleship, the early Christian community

we read about in the Book of Acts can serve as our model for growth.

The difficulties we may encounter as we grow in faith will bring us

closer together in peace instead of dividing us into rival groups. The

peace Jesus calls us to in HIS church is the peace given by the Holy

Spirit.

To be a disciple of Christ is to be a follower of Christ . . . . . . when we

follow him our lives reflect that reality in all we do. Our lives bear the

fruit of what it means to be a Christ follower . . . . . a Christian. Those

who want to follow Christ more closely and prepare to receive the Sac-

raments of the Church can call Janet Ortiz at 505-455-7520.
