May 13 2018 Page 5ENVIADOS PARA VIVIR EN EL MUNDO
En las lecturas de hoy escuchamos dos relatos diferen-tes sobre los que son enviados. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles Pedro guía a la asamblea en oración para que el Señor elija y designe a la persona que reemplazará a Judas entre los Doce. En el Evangelio Jesús reza por que los discípulos que eligió sean consagrados o santificados. Jesús no le pide a su Padre que proteja a los discípu-los del mundo, sino que los envía al mundo. Aunque pensemos que las personas santas están alejadas del mundo, no podemos escuchar las lecturas de hoy sin comprender que las personas santas elegidas por Dios son enviadas a vivir en el mundo, en donde pueden reve-lar el amor de Dios que santifica al mundo entero.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Los Apóstoles eligen a Matías para remplazar a Judas y seguir con doce miembros (Hechos 1:15-17, 20a, 20c-26). Salmo — El Señor puso en el cielo tu trono (Salmo 103 [102]). Segunda lectura — La persona que vive en amor vive en Dios y Dios vive en ella (1 Juan 4:11-16). Evangelio — “Padre, cuida en tu nombre a los que me has dado para que sean uno” (Juan 17:11b-19).
LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Hch 1:15-27, 20-26; Sal 113 (112):1-8; Jn 15:9-17 Martes: Hch 20:17-27; Sal 68 (67):10-11, 20-21; Jn 17:1-11a Miércoles: Hch 20:28-38; Sal 68 (67):29-30, 33-36ab; Jn 17:11b-19 Jueves: Hch 22:30; 23:6-11; Sal 16 (15):1-2a, 5, 7-11; Jn 17:20-26 Viernes: Hch 25:13b-21; Sal 103 (102):1-2, 11-12, 19-20ab; Jn 21:15-19 Sábado: Hch 28:16-20, 30-31; Sal 11 (10):4, 5, 7; Jn 21:20-25 Domingo: Vigilia: Gn 11:1-9 o Ex 19:3-8a, 16-20b o Ez 37:1-14 o Jl 3:1-5; Sal 104 (103):1-2, 24, 35, 27-30; Rom 8:22-27; Jn 7:37-39 Día: Hch 2:1-11; Sal 104 (103):1, 24, 29-31,34; 1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13 o Gal 5:16-25; Jn 20:19-23 o Jn 15:26-27; 16:12-15
LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Séptimo Domingo de Pascua; Día de las Madres; Jornada Mundial de la Comunicaciones Sociales Lunes: San Matías Martes: San Isidro Jueves Ascención del Señor en el calendario juliano Viernes: San Juan I Sábado: Día de las Fuerzas Armadas; Vigilia de Pen-tecostés; Shavuot (celebración
COMMISSIONED TO LIVE IN THE WORLD In today’s scriptures we hear two different stories about commissioning. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter leads the assembly in prayer that the Lord will choose and commission the person to replace Judas among the Twelve. In the Gospel Jesus prays that his chosen disci-ples might be consecrated, or made holy. Jesus does not ask his Father to keep the disciples separate from the world, but instead sends them out into the world. While we might think that holy people are set apart from the world, we cannot hear today’s scriptures without realizing that God’s holy, chosen people are commissioned to live in the midst of the world, where they can reveal the love of God that makes the entire world holy.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Matthias was added to the eleven apostles (Acts 1:15-17, 20a, 20c-26). Psalm — The Lord has set his throne in heaven (Psalm 103). Second Reading — If God so loved us, we also must love one another (1 John 4:11-16). Gospel — Holy Father, keep them in your name, so that they may be one just as we are one (John 17:11b-19).
READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Acts 1:15-27, 20-26; Ps 113:1-8; Jn 15:9-17 Tuesday: Acts 20:17-27; Ps 68:10-11, 20-21; Jn 17:1-11a Wednesday: Acts 20:28-38; Ps 68:29-30, 33-36ab; Jn 17:11b-19 Thursday: Acts 22:30; 23:6-11; Ps 16:1-2a, 5, 7-11; Jn 17:20-26 Friday: Acts 25:13b-21; Ps 103:1-2, 11-12, 19-20ab; Jn 21:15-19 Saturday: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31; Ps 11:4, 5, 7; Jn 21:20-25 Sunday: Vigil: Gn 11:1-9 or Ex 19:3-8a, 16-20b or Ez 37:1-14 or Jl 3:1-5; Ps 104:1-2, 24, 35, 27-30; Rom 8:22-27; Jn 7:37-39 Day: Acts 2:1-11; Ps 104:1, 24, 29-31, 34; 1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13 or Gal 5:16-25; Jn 20:19-23 or Jn 15:26-27; 16:12-15

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In Ireland and the United Kingdom, Mother’s Day is over. “Mothering Sunday” was on the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Long ago, people were freed from work to travel on this day to the parish where they were baptized, their “Mother Church.” Often, people were reunited with their mothers on this day. Employers would release their work-ers and servants for this visit. The American celebration, while based on this custom, really has to do with an anti-war movement of mothers in Civil War times. They cru-saded for better sanitary conditions for their sons. When President Wilson instituted the first Mother’s Day in 1912, it was a day to fly the flag in honor of mothers whose children had died in battle. Knowing the tradition is a good balance to our celebration today. We can enfold in prayer the mothers who have suffered the loss of their children in war.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El día 15 de mayo los campesinos de Ichocán, Perú adornan sus yugos, y las puertas de sus casas con el fruto de sus cosechas en honor a san Isidro Labrador. Muchos países Latinoamericanos celebran esta fiesta. En un conti-nente donde la agricultura es tan importante no hay que sorprenderse de la importancia de este santo español del siglo XII. Además san Isidro se parece a mucha gente de Latinoamérica: es de padres campesinos, de familia pobre y religiosa, no fue a la escuela, quedó huérfano y se em-pleó como peón de campo, ayudando en la agricultura. Se casó con María la cual también llego a ser santa. Tuvieron un hijo. Los tres fueron reconocidos como pia-dosos y generosos. Gracias a Dios, la santidad se encuen-tra en todo tipo de persona. Los casados y padres y ma-dres de familia también llegan a ser santos. Después de su muerte en 1130 se descubrió que su cuerpo estaba mila-grosamente incorrupto. En 1622 el Papa canonizó a este humilde campesino junto con algunos grandes religiosos como santa Teresa, san Ignacio y san Francisco Javier.
May is the month of Mary the Blessed Mother. Pray the Rosary for the peace in the world.

“Dear children, All that my Son, who is the light of love, has done and does, He has done out of love. Also you, my children, when you live in love and love your neighbors, you are doing the will of my Son. Apostles of my love, make yourselves little; open your pure hearts to my Son so that He can work through you. With the help of faith, be filled
with love. But, my children, do not forget that the Eucharist is the heart of faith. This is my Son who feeds you with His Body and strengthens you with His Blood. This is a miracle of love: my Son who always comes anew, alive, to bring life back to souls. My children, by living in love you are doing
the will of my Son and He lives in you. My children, my motherly desire is for you to always love Him more, be-
cause He is calling you with His love. He is giving you love so that you may spread it to all those around you. As a
mother, through His love, I am with you to speak the words of love and hope to you-to speak to you the eternal words
that are victorious over time and death-so as to call you to be my apostles of love. Thank you.
PASTOR’S DESK—ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR
The gospel takes us back to Holy Thursday evening when Jesus, realizing that his life is also most over, celebrates his farewell meal the Last Supper- with his disciples. The fol-lowing day, Good Friday, would see him suffering a most terrible death on the cross. As we listen to his prayer on the night before he died, we see that his thoughts were on how helpless his friends would be without him. He voices his concern for their welfare knowing that because of their mis-sion they will encounter opposition and hatred in the world. He gives them assurance and prepares them to cope with life after he has gone to the Father. Jesus did not pray that they would be spared these trials and sufferings but that they would remain faithful spite of opposition. These parting words of Christ are meant for us just as much as they were for the apostles. We have been taken into this prayer of Jesus, as he has chosen us to share in his work and make even the smallest of our acts of compassion important. Our calling is to be missionaries dedicated to the truth of God’s word, by the way we live and by our behavior. It is not an easy pathway to travel, but God has not left us to carry out that great endeavor with our own strength. If we place our lives in his hands, he will equip us with the quali-ties of mind, heart and character which are necessary for the task. Often on occasions when we run into difficulties in life, we think God has abandoned us. It would be helpful in times of trouble if we could remember that God did not offer a release from problems, but the ability to cope with them, provided we turn to him for comfort and help. What we have to do is to humbly admit to him that we cannot manage on our own. Only by turning to the wounded Jesus on the cross can we properly face our problems. With his power we can turn despair into hope, sorrow into joy and hatred into love. All that matters is to be one with the living God, feeling his presence like a great reassurance and a deep calm in the heart.
El evangelio nos lleva de vuelta a la tarde del Jueves Santo cuando Jesús, dándose cuenta de que su vida ya ha termina-do, celebra su comida de despedida, la Última Cena, con sus discípulos. Al día siguiente, Viernes Santo, lo vería sufrir una terrible muerte en la cruz. Mientras escuchamos su ora-ción la noche antes de su muerte, vemos que sus pensamien-tos estaban en cuán indefensos estarían sus amigos sin él. Él expresa su preocupación por su bienestar sabiendo que debi-do a su misión encontrarán oposición y odio en el mundo. Él les da seguridad y los prepara para enfrentar la vida después de haber ido al Padre. Jesús no rezó para que se salvaran de estas pruebas y sufrimientos, sino que permanecerían fieles a pesar de la oposición. Estas palabras de despedida de Cristo son para nosotros tan-to como lo fueron para los apóstoles. Hemos sido llevados a esta oración de Jesús, ya que nos ha elegido para compartir su trabajo y hacer que incluso el más pequeño de nuestros actos de compasión sea importante. Nuestro llamado es ser misioneros dedicados a la verdad de la palabra de Dios, por la forma en que vivimos y por nuestro comportamiento. No es un camino fácil para viajar, pero Dios no nos ha dejado llevar a cabo ese gran esfuerzo con nuestra propia fuerza. Si ponemos nuestras vidas en sus manos, él nos equipará con las cualidades de la mente, el corazón y el carácter que son necesarios para la tarea. A menudo, cuando nos topamos con dificultades en la vida, creemos que Dios nos ha abandona-do. Sería útil en tiempos difíciles si pudiéramos recordar que Dios no ofreció una liberación de los problemas, sino la ca-pacidad de enfrentarlos, siempre que recurramos a él en bus-ca de consuelo y ayuda. Lo que tenemos que hacer es admi-tirle humildemente que no podemos arreglárnoslas solos. Solo volteando hacia Jesús herido en la cruz podemos en-frentar nuestros problemas de manera apropiada. Con su poder podemos convertir la desesperación en esperanza, la tristeza en alegría y el odio en amor. Todo lo que importa es ser uno con el Dios viviente, sintiendo su presencia como un gran consuelo y una profunda calma en el corazón.
