Reflections ˜ Reflexiones GGospel: John 15:9-17

Anyone who happened to be in a selfish mood when they heard this gospel could not get away from it. Love is everywhere in Jesus' conversation with his friends at the Last Supper. He gives them and us his memorable commandment: "Love one another as I love you." It sounds simple. But he reminds us that loving as he does involves a willingness to "lay down one's life for one's friends." During Lent we saw this love of Jesus in action. Now during the Easter season we rejoice that such love is victorious over sin and death. 1.) How many times does Jesus use some form of the word "love" in this gospel reading? Why do you think he repeats it so often? In what ways does Jesus describe how he loves us? 2.) In what small, ordinary ways do you see members of your family, class, or parish "laying down their lives" for others? Consider how they place the needs and desires of others before what they want. Recall how they sacrifice their own time, talents, and material goods to help others.

Evangelio: Juan 15:9-17 Todo el que ha tenido un deseo egoísta, cuando escucha este evangelio tiene que pensar. Amor es sobre lo que Jesús habla con sus amigos en la última cena. El les da y nos da a nosotros su memorable mandamiento "Amense unos a otros como yo los he amado". Suena simple. Pero él nos recuerda que amar como él incluye tener la voluntad de "dar la vida por sus amigos". Durante la Cuaresma vimos este amor de Jesús en acción. Ahora durante la Pascua nos regocijamos de que tal amor triunfe sobre la muerte. 1.) ¿Cuántas veces Jesús usa la palabra amor y un derivado de ella en esta lectura del evangelio? ¿Por qué crees que la repite con tanta frecuencia? ¿En qué formas Jesús describe como él nos ama? 2.) ¿De qué pequeñez, forma corriente, ves miembros de tu familia, tu escuela o parroquia "dando su vida por sus amigos"? Considera como ellos ponen las necesidades y deseos de los demás antes que sus necesidades. Recuerda como sacrifican su tiempo, talentos y cosas para ayudar a otros.

JEANINE'S STORY

I once saved up all year to attend a workshop. I was standing in the dinner line next to the workshop presenter as she said loudly, "Ah! It's good to be alive!" That set me thinking. For her and for me it is good to be alive. But what about the homeless person sleeping in the park, or the person with cancer and no insurance? What about the family living in a tent in Haiti, the woman in Los Angeles addicted to heroin? What about the hungry children in a Darfur refugee camp? I wish that everyone could have what I do. I am not arrogant enough to propose solutions, but I know I must work for others to have a better life in any way I can, or my gratitude becomes meaningless. If I close the door on my Christianity and my humanity, I become trapped in complacency. Then I am very poor indeed. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

LA HISTORIA DE JUANITA

Una vez ahorré durante todo un año para ir a una conferencia. Me tocó estar al lado de la conferenciante en la línea para cenar y la escuché decir en alta voz: "¡Ah, qué bueno es vivir!" Eso me puso a pensar. Para ella y para mí es bueno vivir pero, ¿y qué de la persona que vive en la calle y que tiene que dormir en un parque o de la persona con cáncer y sin seguro médico? ¿Y qué de la familia que vive en un refugio en Haití o de la mujer en Los Ángeles adicta a la heroína? ¿Y qué de los niños hambrientos en un campamento de refugiados en Darfur? Yo quisiera que todos tuvieran lo que yo tengo; pero aunque no soy tan arrogante como para proponer una solución, sé que debo hacer todo lo que esté a mi alcance para que otras personas tengan una vida mejor, pues de lo contrario mi gratitud es vana. Si le cierro las puertas a mi cristianismo y a mi humanidad, me quedo atrapada en mi autocomplacencia. Entonces sí sería muy pobre. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In ancient Rome, the beautiful month of May was dedicated to the goddess Flora, the patroness of flowers and new life. May 1 was considered the beginning of abundant growth, and a day for public festivals aimed at expelling winter. Even after Christianity took hold, the customs of the pagan feast lingered behind. Long ago, there was a thirty-day devotion to Mary, sometimes called “Lady Month,” which began on August 15. By the eighteenth century, the custom of assigning devotions to months of the year was developing. June, for example, was the month of the Sacred Heart, and October was for the Holy Rosary. Beginning with the Jesuit Order in Rome and spreading throughout the world, May has been celebrated as the month of Mary, the Blessed Mother, for more than two hundred years. That was a welcome remedy to some enduring pagan practices, such as maypole dancing and the crowning of the May Queen. Some historians say that in ancient times the May Queen was actually a human sacrifice. Devoting May to Mary is undoubtedly a better thing to do. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER In the Gospel for the Sixth Sunday of Easter we are met with an extraordinary challenge: Jesus commands us to “love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). The letter from John echoes this command. Of course, we are to love those in our family, those we work with, those we like. But the scriptures make clear that we are also to love those we never notice, those we purposely avoid, and even those we are tempted to despise. In this Sunday’s selection from the Acts of the Apostles Peter shows us how far God’s love extends, and how far our love should extend in response. Peter realizes that God no longer “shows partiality” to the Jews, sharing divine love exclusively with them. Christ has revealed that God’s love extends to all people, and so should ours.

PRIDE What better proof of your pride could you have given than to claim you were not proud? —St. John Climacus

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Durante la Última Cena, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles: “Yo soy la vid, ustedes son los sarmientos” (Juan 15:5). Jesús añade que los sarmientos (ramas) que permanecen en él, dan mucho fruto. Según la agricultura, la vid es una parra, es decir, una planta perenne de ramas frondosas. Una parte importante de la vid son las hojas. Es obvio que una vid tiene hojas, pero Jesús no las menciona, prefiere enfocarse en los sarmientos. Las partes de la vid son las raíces, tronco, sarmientos, hojas, flores y fruto. Según esta división Jesús sería el tronco, pero él dice ser la vid completa. Esta es una imagen de la unidad que Jesús quiere entre sus seguidores. Recordemos que Jesús celebra la Última Cena con sus discípulos. La comunidad de discípulos unidos a Jesús formamos la vid. Los sarmientos o ramas conducen agua y minerales a las hojas, flores y frutos, y son útiles en tanto estén unidos a la vid. Lo mismo vale de los cristianos, discípulos de Jesús. Son ellos y ellas los que hacen presente y le dan vida a Jesús en el mundo de hoy. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

ORGULLO ¿Qué mejor prueba de tu orgullo es que hayas dicho que no eres orgulloso? —San Juan Climacus

ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS En el Evangelio para el Sexto Domingo de Pascua nos encontramos con un desafío extraordinario. Jesús nos dice: “ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado” (Juan 15:12). La carta del apóstol san Juan retoma este mandamiento. Por supuesto, debemos amar a nuestros familiares, nuestros colegas, las personas que nos agradan. Pero la Sagrada Escritura aclara que también debemos amar a los que ignoramos, a los que evitamos deliberadamente e incluso a los que nos sentimos tentados de despreciar. En la selección de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este domingo, Pedro nos muestra hasta dónde llega el amor de Dios y hasta dónde debe llegar nuestra respuesta de amor. Pedro comprende que Dios ya “no hace distinciones” y no comparte su amor divino exclusivamente con los judíos. Cristo ha revelado que el amor de Dios llega a todas las personas y lo mismo debe hacer el nuestro. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
