PENTECOST SUNDAY

May 15, 2016

FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR...

PENTECOST “As the Father sent Me, so I am sending you”

John 20:21Dear brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel Lesson, it is the evening of the first Easter Sunday. The terrified Apostles are hiding behind closed doors. They fear for their lives. Jesus has been crucified. They wor-ry that they’ll be next; that Jesus’ enemies are coming. But their fear is misguided because Jesus is coming!

“The doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,” the Apostle John tells us. “Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them: ‘peace be with you...as the Father sent Me, so I am send-ing you...receive the Holy Spirit.” And “the disciples were filled with joy!”

On this Day of Pentecost, Jesus comes to us. He is in our midst now, saying to each of us, “Peace be with you...as the Father sent Me, so I am sending you...receive the Holy Spirit.” And, hopefully, we who struggle from day-to-day with our fears and anxieties, are filled with joy.

What happened to the New Testament Christians was that when Jesus came into their midst they experienced God’s Presence in a new and intense way—-so over-whelming, so fulfilling, so healing, they couldn’t con-tain it within themselves. They had to get the Good News out to the whole world.

John the evangelist tells us that Jesus last words to His disciples included this instruction:

As the Father sent Me, so I am sending you.

As the Father sent Jesus, so He is sending us now.

Our world is full of misery and fear and ignorance. Our plain Christian duty is to do all we can to make the little corner of our influence less miserable and fearful and ignorant than it was before we came into it. Our duty to live for our own happiness of all. Our happiness is do-ing God’s will.

The Spirit of the Lord is in you! Go and preach the Good News.

DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTES

Mayo 15, 2016

DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PARROCO…

PENTECOSTES

“Como el Padre me ha enviado, así también los envío yo” Juan 20:21

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, en el Evangelio de hoy es en

el anochecer del día de la resurrección. Estando las puertas cerradas de la casa donde se encontraban los discípulos por miedo a los judíos. Los discípulos temían por sus vidas. Je-

sús había sido crucificado. Ellos temían ser las próximas víctimas. Los enemigos de Jesús podrían venir por ellos en

cualquier momento. Pero el que vino a ellos fue el mismo Jesús. “Jesús se presentó en medio de ellos y les dijo: “La

paz este con ustedes. Como el Padre me ha enviado, así tam-bién los envió yo. Después de decir esto, soplo sobre ellos y les dijo: Reciban el Espíritu Santo.” Y los discípulos se lle-

naron de gozo.

En este día de Pentecostés, Jesús viene también a nosotros. El está en medio de nosotros diciéndonos a cada uno, “La paz

este con ustedes...Como el Padre me ha enviado, así también los envío a ustedes...reciban el Espíritu Santo.” Yo les deseo

de todo corazón que si entre nosotros se encuentra alguien luchando diariamente con temores y ansiedad también hoy

nos llenemos de gozo.

Lo que sucedió con los primeros discípulos, cuando Jesús se presento en medio de ellos, experimentaron la presencia de

Dios de una manera nueva. Lo experimentaron de una mane-ra tan intensa y profunda, tan sanadora y liberadora, que no pudieron contenerlo dentro de ellos. Tuvieron que salir al

mundo a proclamar la Buena Noticia.

Juan el Evangelista nos dice que las últimas palabras de Jesús a sus discípulos en ese maravilloso encuentro incluyo unas

instrucciones claras:

Como el Padre me envió, así los envió yo a ustedes.

Como el Padre envió a Jesús, así nos envía a ti y a mi ahora.

Nuestro mundo esta lleno de dolor y miseria, miedo e igno-

rancia. Nuestro deber como cristianos es hacer todo lo que podamos por transformar esa pequeña esquina de nuestra influencia menos dolorosa y miserable, menos temerosa e

ignorante que cuando lleguemos a este mundo. Nuestro deber de ser felices en este mundo está siempre ligada a la felicidad

de los demás. Dios desea que todos sus hijos e hijas seamos plenamente felices. Nuestra felicidad debe ser siempre hacer

la voluntad de Dios.

¡El Espíritu del Señor esta sobre nosotros! ¡Vayamos al mun-do a predicar la Buena Nueva!

Padre Miguel Ceja

15/05/2016 CHÚA NHẬT CHÚA THÁNH THẦN

HIỆN XUỐNG – C Ga 20,19-23

kHAO KHÁT CHÚA THÁNH THẦN

Nói xong, Đức Giê-su thổi hơi vào các ông và bảo: “Anh em hãy nhận

lấy Thánh Thần.” (Ga 20,22)

Suy niệm: Có một ngày các linh mục đồng loạt xách va-li rời khỏi giáo xứ; giáo dân gia nhập các đoàn thể Công giáo chỉ để mua vui; mỗi lần cầu nguyện, các Ki-tô hữu cảm thấy khó khăn vì Thiên Chúa với họ thật ngàn trùng xa cách và xa lạ; Đức Giê-su chỉ là một nhân vật của quá khứ, xa xưa; các sách Tin Mừng với những dòng chữ chết khô, đọc mãi chẳng thấy một sức mạnh nào; các tu sĩ hoạt động trong các bệnh viện, trại phong... chán nản trước các công việc nhàm chán mỗi ngày; Giáo hội như một bảo tàng viện gồm những nghi thức cũ kỹ lạc hậu... Đó là một ngày không có Chúa Thánh Thần. May mắn thay, ngày ấy đã không xảy ra! Vì từ ngày Hiện xuống trên các tông đồ, Chúa Thánh Thần luôn ở mãi trong thế giới. Mời Bạn: Ghi nhớ lời của Charles Spurgeon, một nhà truyền giáo nổi tiếng của Mỹ: “Nếu chúng ta không có Thánh Thần, chúng ta nên đóng cửa các nhà thờ. Nếu các giáo sĩ không có Thánh Thần, tốt hơn họ đừng rao giảng Lời Chúa và giáo dân nên ở nhà mà ngủ”. Thế nhưng, có Thánh Thần, mọi sự đã đổi khác. Bạn có nhận ra sự hiện diện âm thầm và mạnh mẽ của Thánh Thần trong đời bạn không?
