Moral Guidelines for Vaccine Use The Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses abortion derived cell lines to make their vaccine therefore: 1. When a choice of vaccine is available, Catholics should use Pfizer or Moderna. 2. If no choice of vaccine is available then the Johnson & Johnson vaccine may be used due to the greater good of

preventing COVID-19. 3. Being vaccinated can be seen as an act of charity that serves the common good. 4. These guidelines com from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faithful and the US Conference of Bishops.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccine do not use an abortion derived cell line for their production unlike Johnson & Johnson.

FEAST OF FAITH The Homily

The ambo, or pulpit, is a special place—it is the place for God’s word. That is why it is not used for all the spoken words of the Mass, even important words like the collects and the blessing. The ambo is only used for the scripture readings, and for the homily and the prayer of the faithful. The homily is part of the Liturgy of the Word. It flows from the readings we have just heard, and helps us to understand the way in which God is speaking to us today. The homily is not a lecture, a catechism lesson, or a speech. It is more like an exhortation; it has an urgency about it, for it calls us to find ourselves in the scripture, to live the faith we profess, to see our world by the light of the Gospel. The homily, in itself a response to God’s word, demands a response from us. There are many styles of preaching and many ways to respond to the scriptures. But whether the homily is weak or strong, an open ear and an open heart can find in it an abundance of spiritual nourishment.

FIESTA DE LA FE ¡Aleluya!

Aunque la asamblea está familiarizada con esa palabra, es bueno recordar el significado: ¡Alaben a Dios! ¡Gloria a Dios! Este vocablo de origen hebreo fue tomado por los cristianos y adaptado a su liturgia, para cantarse, precisamente antes de la proclamación del Evangelio. En su naturaleza más profunda, esta aclamación exige ser cantada, exige movimiento. Movimiento físico y ritual. Estamos sentados, hemos escuchado la promesa de Dios en el Antiguo Testamento, hemos escuchado los escritos apostólicos y, después del debido silencio, la asamblea canta a Dios una alabanza y se pone de pie, como pueblo libre que escuchará el mensaje de su Señor. Alaba a Dios no sólo porque es bueno, sino porque se nos ha dado en el Verbo, que es Cristo y Cristo sigue dándose en su palabra, que es el Evangelio. Este rito “en el cual la asamblea de los fieles recibe al Señor que está por hablar en el Evangelio, lo saluda y confiesa su fe con el canto” (IGMR, 62), constituye la cima de la Liturgia de la Palabra. Porque esto es una oración de alabanza, lo gritamos, lo aclamamos, lo cantamos. ¡Aleluya! ¡Gloria a Dios! ¡Gloria al Señor! ¡Aleluya!

Reflection of the Week

Our readings today teach us what it means to bear fruit as disciples of Christ. We hear in each of our readings that it is from the Lord that good effects will be produced in our lives. In our first reading, we hear about disciples that were preaching the Good News and defending the faith. The work they were doing was “with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.” It was not their work alone, but the work of God. We must ask ourselves, ‘how is God bearing fruit in my life?’ and ‘have I invited the Holy Spirit to work in me?’ The more we try to produce good effects in our lives, the more we will become disappointed if all we are relying on is our own efforts. It is only by inviting the Holy Spirit into our everyday moments that we will see goodness poured out. Jesus clearly tells us how to do this in our Gospel. He says, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit.” We can remain in Christ by staying faithful to His commandments and frequently receiving the sacraments. And our day to day moments should be a reflection of those commitments. That could mean opening our day with a prayer of thanksgiving, smiling at those we see on the street, asking God for help as we begin our workday, praising God in moments of trial, taking time to listen to our spouse after a long day. To remain in Christ means, in all that we do, we do it with the Lord. When we live a life like that — as a branch never separated from its vine — God will produce bountiful fruit in our lives.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus likens our relation-ship with him to a plant with many branches. We, the branches, are called to remain so close to Jesus that we bear fruit, loving one another as Christ loves us. Saul bore the fruit of his faith through powerful witness that drew others to Christ. And the branches that grew into the early Church were extraordinar-ily fruitful. What is the fruit of your faith in Jesus Christ?

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús compara nuestra relación con él usando como ejemplo una planta con muchas ramas. Nosotros seríamos las ramas, y estamos llamados a permanecer tan cerca de Jesús que demos fruto, amándonos unos a otros como Cristo nos ama. Saulo dio el fruto de su fe mediante un testimonio impactante que atrajo a otros a Cristo. Y las ramas que crecieron en la Iglesia primitiva fueron extraordinariamente fruc-tíferas. ¿Cuál es el fruto de tu fe en Jesucristo?

LEARN FROM THE FIRST ONES The story of the early Church that we hear from the Acts of the Apostles during the Easter season is in-structive and inspiring. We learn how the community grew in their understanding of what it means to re-main close to Jesus in the most challenging of situations. They lived in word and deed as Christ had taught and bore the fruit of their faith in their daily decisions, in small ways and in dramatic moments. Faced with Saul who had persecuted Christians and who presented himself as a disciple, Barnabas risked believing Saul’s testimony. Through Barnabas, the community accepted Saul, with increasing numbers of people being led to belief in Christ as a result. We too are called to live in word and deed, taking to heart Christ’s command to love one another, even when it is challenging to do so. We may find inspiration in the way the early believers drew consolation from the Holy Spirit, finding wisdom and strength to keep the com-mandments and do what pleases God APRENDER DE LOS PRIMEROS La historia de la Iglesia primitiva que escuchamos en los Hechos de los Apóstoles durante el tiempo de Pascua es educativo e inspirador. Aprendemos cómo la comunidad creció en su comprensión de lo que significa permanecer cerca de Jesús en las situaciones más difíciles. Ellos vivieron de palabra y de obra como Cristo había enseñado y dieron el fruto de su fe en sus decisiones cotidianas, en pequeños detalles y en momentos dramáticos. Frente a Saulo, que había perseguido a los cristianos y que se presentaba así mismo como discípulo, Bernabé se arriesgó a creer en el testimonio de Saulo. A través de Bernabé, la co-munidad aceptó a Saulo y, como resultado, un número cada vez mayor de personas empezaron a creer en Cristo. Nosotros también estamos llamados a vivir de palabra y obra, tomando a pecho el mandamiento de Cristo de amarnos los unos a los otros, incluso cuando sea difícil hacerlo. Podemos inspirarnos en la forma en que los primeros creyentes se consolaron con el Espíritu Santo, encontrando sabiduría y fuerza para cumplir los mandamientos y hacer lo que de agrada a Dios.
