APRIL 24, 2016 FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
DEAR PARISHIONERS and VISITORS:
Monday, April 25 is the feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist. Scripture scholars tell us that there are two reasons whyMark’s Gospel is of great importance. First, it is the earliestof all the gospels, probably written about AD 65. Second, itembodies the record of what Saint Peter preached and taughtabout Jesus. . . so it has a fascinating source of informationabout the life of Jesus.
There are some characteristics that are special to Mark’sGospel:1) Mark never forgot the divine side of Jesus. He begins hisGospel with the declaration of faith “the beginning of thegospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God.”2) at the same time Mark gives us a very human picture ofJesus. . that he got tired and wanted to rest ( Mk 6.31). Sowe get a very real set of snapshots of Jesus in action . . vividand engaging because Peter the Apostle was there and Markrecords it.
What is helpful to us to appreciate more deeply JesusChrist is to read Mark’s Gospel in one sitting. . . that takesone hour or so because it is the shortest of the four Gospels.
To ponder for a few minutes God’s over-arching plan ofsalvation through the window of St Mark’s entire Gospel ishighly recommended.

Les doy un mandamiento nuevo
¿ Cómo se define “ nuevo “ a un mandamiento que ya
era conocido desde el Antiguo Testamento (Lev 19,18)
? Aquí puede sernos útil la distinción entre viejo y
antiguo. ¿ Un nuevo mandamiento o antiguo ? Se
puede decir que lo uno y lo otro. Antiguo según la letra,
porque ya había sido dado desde hacía tiempo; nuevo
según su Espíritu, porque sólo con Jesús ha sido
proporcionada también la fuerza de ponerlo en práctica.
La Palabra en tu vida
En nuestra sociedad existen cristianos que dicen seguir
a Cristo pero no a su Iglesia. Eso no es lo que nos
enseña el Maestro divino. Necesitamos ser cristianos
coherentes. Señor Jesús, ayúdanos a poner en práctica
tus mandamientos.
Reflexión
“ Un corazón misericordioso no quiere decir que sea un
corazón devil. Quien quiera ser misericordioso debe
tener un corazón fuerte, cerrado a la tentación y abierto
a Dios. Un corazón que se deja traspasar por el Espíritu
a fin de dar amor a través de los senderos que guían a
sus hermanos y hermanas . . . “ S.S. Papa Francisco.
+ + + + +
“Jesus, I want to know you more. Show me your
majesty, your love, and your joy. Let the knowledge of
you remove my anxieties and fears.”

years.

Motto: “Nothing is small in the service of
God.”
Thanks, Gio, for proclaiming the W ord with
confidence, sincerity and joy!
Stewardship Reflection
In today’s Gospel, we return to the Last Supper to hear Jesus’
new commandment to love one another. Good stewards, as
the recipients of God’s unending love, take this commandment
seriously. Though we are reminded of his love throughout the
year, it Jesus’ actions and works during the feast of Passover
that show the extent of his love and the way we too can live a
life of stewardship: “... love one another. As I have loved you,
so you also should love one another” (John 13:34). Can we
accept this commandment from Jesus? Are we able to
embrace this kind of discipleship? Can we humbly offer
ourselves in loving service to one another? www.catholicstewardship.com
