PASTORAL REFLECTIONS �

North American Martyrs Parish thanks all parishioners especially those who worked so hard for the success of the Divine Mercy Prayer Service last Sunday. We had in attendance more than eighty people and we prayed for the Universal Church, our Archdiocese, individual families in our parish and the world. May God bless our North American Martyrs Parish.��

The 11:00am Mass this weekend at St. Isaac Jogues will be our parish farewell Mass with Rev. Fr. John Kyere followed by a reception. Father John served the Ghanaian Catholic Ministry in our parish in his capacity as a Chaplain. The North American Martyrs Parish thanks Fr. John Kyere for his outstanding leadership. We are all encouraged to attend this farewell Mass to grace this memorable occasion. Father John will forever be in our prayers.��

TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA�

LOS DISCIPULOS DE EMAUS��

Estamos en la 3ª Semana de

Resurrección y la Liturgia nos invita

a reflexionar que la Fe Pascual del

cristiano se funda en el encuentro

personal con el Señor Resucitado y

la experiencia comunitaria que

transmite perdón y vida. ��

En el Evangelio de hoy (Lucas 24,

35�48), tiene como trasfondo lo

acontecido en el Camino de Emaús.

Pero su centro no es solamente la

vivencia personal que se tuvo al

reconocer al Señor en la fracción del

Pan, sino también la experiencia de

convertirse en Comunidad de Testigos de la Fe, es decir,

hombres y mujeres que han experimentado juntos el

encuentro con el Crucificado�Resucitado que los

convierte en testigos de la misericordia de Dios. ��

El relato de Lucas comienza presentando el retorno de

los amigos de Emaús al seno de la Comunidad de

Amigos. Los Discípulos están compartiendo con los

demás que su corazón ardía en el camino junto al Señor

y que lo reconocieron al partir el pan. Y en ese mismo

instante Jesús se aparece en medio de ellos

ofreciéndoles su paz. En una mezcla de desconcierto,

asombro y alegría por lo inesperado de su presencia, el

grupo creyó estar viendo un fantasma. � �

Pero Jesús les dice: ¿Por qué se espantan? ¿Por qué

surgen dudas en su interior? Miren mis manos y mis

pies. Soy Yo en persona. Tóquenme y convénzanse: un

fantasma no tiene ni carne ni huesos, como ven que

tengo Yo. Y les mostró las manos y los pies.� �

En su sencillez, este Evangelio une dos tipos de

experiencias: Una, lo experimentado personalmente,

cuando arde el corazón del discípulo por sentirse en la

presencia de Jesús y reconocerlo al partir el pan, que lo

convierte en su amigo, y otra, lo experimentado

colectivamente, cuando se reconoce al Resucitado por

las marcas de la cruz, que hace comprenden el profundo

sentido que la Palabra da a la muerte y a la vida,

convirtiendo al grupo en testigos de su perdón. ��

Así tenemos que la experiencia de Dios es a la vez,

experiencia personal de amistad con Jesús y experiencia

grupal de testigos del perdón y del amor. Una

experiencia que se sustenta en la comunión con el Señor

por la vivencia de la Cruz, en la esperanza que surge del

encuentro con el Resucitado, en la comprensión del

sentido de las Escrituras sobre la Cruz y la Resurrección;�

y en la disposición generosa para comunicar la nueva

vida que se lleva dentro, el perdón. ��

Que el encuentro personal y comunitario con Jesús

Resucitado nos ayude a vivir una auténtica fe y a

comunicar vida y perdón.��

Que Dios los bendiga a todos y bienvenidos a este lugar

de encuentro en nuestro Boletín Semanal.�

Un abrazo, P. Gustavo López�

MASS OF REMEMBRANCE�5:30pm Tuesday, April 24th, St. Thomas the Apostle

Church 872 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford��

The Mass of Remembrance is a time for reflection on the lives of our children who have died from any cause. The causes are numerous but the resulting emotions of pain, longing, and sorrow are the same. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and often overlooked losses is of miscarriage. Too frequently, it is seen as less than other deaths of children, but for those who have experienced miscarriage, it is no less painful. Parents wish these children to be remembered and the Mass of Remembrance provides this opportunity. Please join us in praying for children who have died by miscarriage, abortion, illness, or any cause, and for their families. Refreshments will be served following Mass. For more info call Sister Suzanne Gross, F.S.E. Program Coordinator, Pro�Life Ministry 860�233�8269. �
