TIEMPO DE ALEGRÍA

"Acudían asiduamente a escuchar las ense-ñanzas de los apóstoles, vivían en comunión fraterna y se congregaban para orar en común y celebrar la fracción del pan" (Hechos 2:42). La primera línea de la primera lectura de hoy marca la pauta al comenzar esta celebración de Pascua de cincuenta días. Hoy escuchamos las enseñanzas de tres apóstoles -Lucas, Pedro y Juan- que nos recuerdan que, aunque no haya-mos visto a Cristo, estamos llenos de alegría al depositar nuestra creencia en su muerte y res-urrección salvadoras. Cada semana durante el tiempo de Pascua nos reuniremos como co-munidad de fe para hallar fuerzas y apoyo de nuestro Dios y de los demás. Cada semana nos reuniremos para fraccionar el pan y dar gracias en oración, acciones que manifestarán la mis-mísima presencia del Cristo resucitado entre nosotros. Estemos abiertos a los milagros de este tiempo de alegría. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

A SEASON OF JOY

"They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers" (Acts 2:42). This first line of today's first reading sets the tone as this fifty-day celebration of Easter opens before us. Today we lis-ten to the teachings of three apostles--Luke, Peter, and John--who remind us that even though we have not seen Christ, we nonetheless are filled with joy as we place our belief in his saving death and resurrec-tion. Each week during the Easter season we will gather as a community of faith to find strength and support from our God and from one another. Each week we will gather to break bread and offer the great prayer of thanksgiving, actions that will mani-fest the very presence of the risen Christ in our midst. Let us be open to the wonders of this season of joy. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
