NEW! Fr. Bob’s Bible Study Is

Back!

Have you ever wondered what the Bible

has to say about mercy? How does the

notion of mercy differ from the Old to the

New Testament? Does it differ from

comfort, pity or compassion? The Holy

Bible offers a panorama of mercy in the

Books of Moses, the Wisdom Literature

and the Prophets. The New Testament

also has rich teachings from the mouth of

Jesus himself regarding mercy!

Details: Every Tuesday beginning April 19

to May 24 at 9:15 AM. Evening sessions

at 7:00 PM. Each meeting is in the church.

Bring your Bible’s and come on out.

Scripture Reflections First Reading Acts of the Apostles 5:12-16 Responsorial Psalm Psalm 118:2-4,13-15,22-24 Second Reading Revelation 1:9-11a,12-13,17-19 Gospel Reading John 20:19-31 Background on the Gospel Reading Today's reading, from the Gospel of John, is proclaimed on the second Sunday of Easter in each of the three Sunday Lectionary cycles. This should alert us to the significance of the encounters with the resurrected Jesus described in this reading. This Gospel combines two scenes: Jesus' appearance to his disciples after his Resurrection and Jesus' dialogue with Thomas, the disciple who doubted. Part of the mystery of Jesus' Resurrection is he appeared to his disciples not as a spirit but in bodily form. We do not know this form exactly. Earlier in John's Gospel, when Mary of Magdala first encountered the risen Jesus, she did not recognize the figure standing before her until Jesus spoke. In Luke's Gospel, the disciples walking on the road to Emmaus did not recognize Jesus until he broke bread with them. We know from today’s readings, Jesus, in his resurrected body, was no longer bound by space; he appeared to the disciples in spite of the locked door. Yet, on this resurrected body, the disciples still observed the marks of his Crucifixion. In today's Gospel, Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of peace and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus also commissions his disciples to continue the work he has

begun. As Jesus was sent by God, so too does Jesus send his disciples. This continuity with Jesus' own mission is an essential element of the Church. Jesus grants the means to accomplish this mission when he gives his disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit binds us together as a community of faith and strengthens us to bear witness to Jesus' Resurrection. Jesus' words to his disciples also highlight the integral connection between the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness and reconciliation are gifts to us from Jesus. With the grace of the Holy Spirit, we can share these with others. This is another essential aspect of what it means to be Christ's Church. The Church continues Jesus' ministry of forgiveness and reconciliation. Thomas, the disciple who doubts, represents the reality of the Church that comes after this first community of disciples. All but the first disciples of Jesus must believe without seeing. Like Thomas, we may doubt the news that Jesus, who was crucified and buried, appeared to his disciples. It is part of our human nature to seek hard evidence that the Jesus who appeared to the disciples after his death is, indeed, the same Jesus who was crucified. Thomas is given the opportunity to be our representative who obtains this evidence. He gives witness to us that the Jesus who was raised is the same Jesus who died. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are among those who are blessed for we have not seen and yet have believed. Source: Loyola Press

Treasures from our Traditions

We return to our reflections on the rites of marriage with a brief consideration of reforms from the Council of Trent. When the Protestant Reformation took hold, the fairly recent achievements of the Church and the sacrament of marriage were reviewed with a critical , reforming eye. In general , Protestants returned to an earlier view that marriage was a civil matter, although some said that the civil society had to be in harmony with Christian teaching. In the Catholic Church, the Council of Trent took the question up in 1563, and decided to shore up its teaching on the sacramentality of marriage. They identified many threats, including secret marriages and easy divorces. So they enacted laws that still govern our practice today: to be valid , marriage consent must be exchanged in the presence of a priest and two witnesses. Ever since Trent, marriages must be announced three weeks in advance to the community and recorded in a register. In some places in the world , the "banns" are still posted in the public square. In the United States, parishes sometimes publish the "banns" in the bulletin. Anyone who has ever watched a soap opera has seen the standard minister announcing gravely, "If anyone present sees any reason why these two should not be married . . .." This drama has no place in the Catholic liturgy, but Protestants who broke with us before Trent edited this cliff-hanger out of our public prayer.

We have been celebrating the Year of Mercy and reading about the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. To help you better understand, please read the piece below from Fr. Alexander Castillo from the Diocese of Oakland to truly appreciate this “extraordinary” time.

What is a Jubilee? Where did they originate?

When we hear the word jubilee, we realize the word seems close to joy. The word comes from the Latin 'jubilaeus' which refers to a feast or celebration time. The word also has a more ancient origin: the Hebrew 'yobhel,' meaning 'ram's horn.'

Why is the word jubilee associated with a ram's horn? Because these horns were used as trumpets to announce the beginning of special celebrations. When they heard the 'yobhel,' they knew a special time of joy was about to begin. (Leviticus 25: 9).

Jubilees are rooted in the Old Testament. In the book of Leviticus (25: 8-17; 23-25) we see how the Lord asks the people of Israel to celebrate this special time each 50 years. This was a time in which the earth was left to rest (those who know agriculture refers to this as leaving fields to fallow), but it was above all an occasion for forgiveness, reconciliation and freedom.

We do not know how faithfully jubilees were held in the Old Testament times, but it was clearly an ideal of a celebration like would bring joy, heal wounds and return

peace. Here today we find the origin of the jubilees in the Catholic Church.

It should be noted that the purpose of jubilee festivities was not only 'food and dance,' but there were times of strong reconciliation with the Creator and with each other.

'The Jubilee year is characterized by four social provisions ... the rest of the land (Lev 25: 11-12), the liberation of slaves (Lev 25: 10 and Deuteronomy 15: 12-14), forgiveness of debts (Deuteronomy 15: 1-4) and redemption (repayment) of property (Lev 25, 13.23-24). These provisions, from the Law of Moses were certainly revolutionary, founded on faith in God the creator and liberator, who is the only master of everything, and therefore on the incomparable dignity of man and his rights. '(Joan Galtés, 'Live the Jubilee,' from 'Celebrate,' vol. 57 (fourth edition) Barcelona: Center of Pastoral Liturgy, 1999. pp 7-9).

This beautiful tradition of celebrating jubilees was reborn in the Church by Pope Boniface VIII in the 14th century. Later on, several popes defined the most appropriate periods in which to have celebrations. It was Pope Paul II in the 15th century who finally set them every 25 years.

Since then, every 25 years we have an 'ordinary' jubilee. As in our Liturgy, when we speak of Ordinary Time, the word 'ordinary' does not mean 'unimportant' or 'common.' It actually refers to 'order,' to something 'regular' or 'consistent.' Every

25 years then, is the 'normal time' for the Church to have a celebration of joy, grace.

But the Church also has other jubilees, called 'extraordinary,' those that are called by a Pope in special moments and for exceptional reasons, even if has not been a 25 year interval.

For example: The last ordinary jubilee the Church was the Jubilee Year 2000, under the guidance of Pope St. John Paul II. At that time, we had three years of preparation. I'm sure some still remember them: one year dedicated to the Father, one to the Son and another to the Holy Spirit. Even more: at the end of the jubilee, the pope wrote a letter, 'Novo Millennio Ineunte ' ('At the beginning of the new millenium') in which he invited all Christians to 'put out in to the deep,' firm in faith, hope and love.

The last extraordinary jubilee was also called by Pope St. John Paul II in 1983, celebrating 1950 years of redemption. How was that date calculated? Using as the point of reference the Year 33 as the moment of our Redemption (the year our Lord Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead). Pope Pius XI had called for an Extraordinary Jubilee of Redemption 50 years earlier, in 1933, with the same theme. Source: Fr. Alexander Castillo http://jubileeofmercy-eb.org/page/understanding-the-jubilee/
