Third Sunday of Easter
April 18, 2021 You alone, O Lord,
bring security to my dwelling. — Psalm 4:9
*********************************************************************** FULFILLMENT It is interesting that during the Easter season, when we do not hear a reading from the Old Testament, it becomes so important. This is particularly true today. Peter’s speech begins with a prayer formula familiar to Jews: “The God of Abraham . . .” (Acts 3:13). It likewise contains the potent phrases “Holy and Righteous One” and “mouth of all the prophets” (3:14, 18). Peter was stating in no uncertain terms that the law, psalms, and prophets had been fulfilled in Christ. This is reinforced by Jesus himself in the Gospel passage, when he states that everything in the scriptures (to the early Christians “the scriptures” were what we call the Old Testament) had to be fulfilled. Above all, Jesus and Peter both emphasize that we are witnesses to all of this, and are sent forth to bear witness to it in the world. The Latin Missa, from which our word “Mass” comes, means “sent” (as in “mission”). As we leave Mass today, let us remember to be witnesses to all that has been fulfilled in the risen Christ. *********************************************************************** READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Acts 6:8-15; Ps 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30; Jn 6:22-29 Tuesday: Acts 7:51 — 8:1a; Ps 31:3cd-4, 6, 7b, 8a, 17, 21ab; Jn 6:30-35 Wednesday: Acts 8:1b-8; Ps 66:1-3a, 4-7a; Jn 6:35-40 Thursday: Acts 8:26-40; Ps 66:8-9, 16-17, 20; Jn 6:44-51 Friday: Acts 9:1-20; Ps 117:1bc, 2; Jn 6:52-59 Saturday: Acts 9:31-42; Ps 116:12-17; Jn 6:60-69 Sunday: Acts 4:8-12; Ps 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28, 29; 1 Jn 3:1-2; Jn 10:11-18 *********************************************************************** NATURE’S LESSONS Believe one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in books. The trees and the rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the masters.
—St. Bernard of Clairvaux
MARTYRDOM It is not the suffering but the cause that makes the martyr.
—English proverb

Tercer Domingo de Pascua
18 de abril de 2021 Sólo tú, Señor,
eres mi tranquilidad. — Salmo 4:9
************************************************************************ CUMPLIMIENTO Es interesante que durante el tiempo de Pascua, cuando no escuchamos la lectura del Antiguo Testamento, se vuelve tan importante. Esto es particularmente cierto hoy. El discurso de Pedro comienza con una fórmula de oración familiar a los judíos: “El Dios de Abraham...” (Hechos 3:13). Asimismo contiene las poderosas frases “Santo y Justo” y “boca de todos los profetas” (3:14, 18). Pedro estaba declarando sin lugar a dudas que la ley, los salmos y los profetas se habían cumplido en Cristo. Esto se ve reforzado por el mismo Jesús en el pasaje del Evangelio, cuando dice que todo en la Escritura (para los primeros cristianos “la Escritura” era lo que hoy llamamos el Antiguo Testamento) tenía que cumplirse. Por encima de todo, Jesús y Pedro hacen hincapié en que somos testigos de todo esto, y somos enviados a dar testimonio en el mundo. La palabra missa en latín, significa “enviado” (como “misión”). Al salir de la misa de hoy, recordemos ser testigos de todo lo que se ha cumplido en Cristo resucitado. ************************************************************************ FIESTA DE LA FE El Salmo Responsorial El Salmo es parte integral de la Liturgia de la Palabra y por lo tanto no debe omitirse. No es un “canto de meditación” y, como parte de la Liturgia de la Palabra, ha de cantarse o proclamarse “desde el ambón o desde un sitio oportuno” (IGMR, 61). En la naturaleza misma del Salmo está el que se cante, de hecho, son cantos que reflejan situaciones muy concretas de la vida del pueblo de Israel, no sólo de victoria, o de alabanza, sino de tristeza, abandono e incluso, de enojo. Aunque la Instrucción para el uso del Misal Romano permite que se recite, el mismo documento pide que se recite “de manera adecuada para que favorezca la meditación de la Palabra de Dios”. El canto del mismo, puede ser de dos maneras: responsorial o directa. Aun así, la Ordenación General de las Lecturas de la Misa prefiere que sea responsorial a fin de que la gente “comprenda el sentido espiritual del Salmo”. Este momento de la liturgia no es “la hora del aficionado”, sino un momento clave, precedido por el silencio, para dejar que la palabra de Dios habite en nosotros con toda su riqueza (Colosenses 3:16).
