LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind and heart to hear the Word of God. Take time to read the Mass Readings for Sunday, April 28, 2024
As you read the scriptures, take note of a word or phrase that stands out to you. God has prepared this for you. Let the word or phrase that stood out become your invitation to dialogue with God. Allow the word or phrase to wash over you and permeate your thoughts. Spend some quiet time in prayer asking Jesus to reveal what he wants to reveal to you through these readings.
Un mensaje del p. Carlos
En este V Domingo de Pascua, la liturgia nos invita a permanecer unido al Señor, alimentándonos de su Palabra y Vida para dar abundantes frutos como verdaderos discípulos.
Por eso, el Evangelista Juan nos invita a permanecer en Cristo. Permanecer en el Resucitado consiste en permanecer en su amor. No se trata de una permanencia simplemente afectiva y emocional. Es la permanencia práctica y eficaz que crea y sostiene una relación interpersonal. Una relación no se sostiene porque digamos diez veces al día te quiero mucho, sino cuando se afianza un compromiso con la vida y el bien del otro.
Permanecer en Cristo es también someternos a las tijeras de Dios que poda en nosotros todo aquello que impide el crecimiento y la riqueza de una relación que supera toda frontera. La permanencia regala consistencia, fortalece el sí de nuestra autenticidad y solidez, y hace posible la estabilidad en algo. Ser estables no es estar quietos y sin modificar nada. Ser estable es poder involucrarnos, comprometernos y perseverar en aquello con que nos hemos comprometido.
Las comunidades, las familias y los pueblos saben de Pascuas. Saben de pascuas porque saben de amor. Aparentemente, cuando acontece la Pascua, nada cambiará y el mundo seguirá igual. Pero nosotros, los cristianos, tenemos la certeza de que lo esencial ha cambiado y desde nuestra raíces en el corazón de la tierra, nos resulta más cercano el cielo porque hemos resucitado a una vida nueva, dichosa y plena.
La pascua es la fuerza de Dios para que nos arriesguemos a lo nuevo. El Resucitado nos invita en tiempo pascual a abrir las ventanas de la cabeza, del corazón y de la vida. Que el aire nuevo nos sacuda, que renueve los rincones de penas y rencores archivados, que cambie el aroma de nuestra casa porque el Resucitado nos llenará de esperanza y amor. Nos regala ojos nuevos y una nueva manera de entender todas las cosas.
La resurrección es dejarnos armar por Dios para hacer de su mensaje algo que dé muchos frutos, dejemos que nos pode siempre que Él quiera, para que demos más frutos. Paz y Bien.
