Second Sunday of easter

segundo domingo de PASCUA

Second Sunday of Easter:

“Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believed,” Jesus says in today’s Gospel. For those who have not seen to believe, however, we must be good stewards of our faith, living it joyfully and sharing it generously. Then, in our time too, “men and women in great numbers” will be “added to the Lord.”

Segundo Domingo de Pascua:

“¡Felices los que no han visto, pero creen!” dice Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy. Sin embargo,para que crean los que no han visto, tenemos que ser buenos administradores de nuestra fe, viviéndola alegremente y compartiéndola generosamente. Entonces, en nuestro tiempo también, “cantidad de hombres y mujeres llegaban a creer en el Señor, aumentando así su número.”

In today’s Gospels, Jesus says to the Apostles “Peace be with you, as the Father has sent me, so I send you.” He breathed on them and said “Receive the Holy Spirit”. With these words, Jesus is also instructing us to go forth as he did and to love and serve His people. Thomas was not with the apostles and did not believe that Jesus had appeared. When later Jesus appeared again, Thomas was with them, but still doubting, he needed to check Jesus’ wounds to believe. And Jesus said “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. Are we like Thomas? Or do we truly believe? How has Easter and the Resurrection changed your life? For our newest recipients (Neophytes) of the Sacraments of Initiation, this Easter season is a time of reflection; 1) on the Sacraments they have received and 2) time to discern how they are being called to use their special talents and gifts in God’s community which will bring them closer to Jesus. It will become a period of further under-standing that to “BELIEVE IS TO SEE”. Please keep our Neophytes in your prayers. For information on RCIA, please call The Faith Formation Office @ 433-2777, ext. 138 or Martin Schott 521-9079.
