St. Patrick’s Catholic Church Third Sunday of Easter, April 10, 2016
Dear Parish Family:
Seek to love others unconditionally,
as God loves us. This is the focus we
should meditate on today as we seek to
find meaning from the Scripturereadings in today’s mass.
We have all been in a situation where we have
been deeply hurt, or have greatly hurt someoneourselves. Either side of the coin, there are very
powerful emotions. On one side there is remorse
and guilt; on the other, hostility and resentment.
When we end up in such situations, we often timesare tempted to give up on those relationships. We go
into “avoid mode” to protect ourselves from further
damage, or we may have feelings of righteousindignation, becoming stubborn and refusing to
move even slightly toward reconciliation. We may
have a strong urge to give up, to surrender to
despair. Giving up, however, can be the work of thedevil. Giving up was how Satan tempted Jesus when
He was out in the desert, and it was the last
temptation Satan hurled at Jesus as He hung dyingon the cross.
God, however, never gives up on us, even when
we’ve turned our backs on Him or betrayed him.
Peter denied Jesus three times before our Lord’scrucifixion. In today’s Gospel, it is quite clear that
Jesus has not given up on Peter as our Lord offers
him the opportunity to answer our Lord thrice abouthis love for Jesus.
“Unconditional love” is something we’ve all
heard about. We have heard about God’sunconditional love. This type of love is something
we want to give to our children, our spouses and
family members. Too often we fall into attaching
conditions on our “love.” This is why we need to
seek God’s forgiveness today, so we might have the power to forgive others as He has forgiven us.
Without God’s power, unconditional love is hard
and likely not attainable. But with God’s love and power, all things are possible – even loving
unconditionally, even not “giving up” on them.
“Jesus, you are the perfect image of the Father’slove. I praise you with my whole heart, and I
surrender my life to you.”

Querida Familia Parroquial:
Traten de amar a los demás incondicionalmente,
como Dios nos ama. Este es el enfoque en que debemo
meditar hoy en día para tratar de encontrar significadoen las lecturas de la misa de hoy.
Todos hemos estado en una situación en la que no
han herido profundamente, o hemos herido a alguiencon gran medida. De cualquier lado de la moneda son
emociones muy poderosas. Por un lado existe el
remordimiento y la culpa, por otro, la hostilidad y el
resentimiento. Cuando nos encontramos en este tipo desituaciones, a menudo somos tentados a renunciar a esa
relaciones. Tratamos de “evitar" la situación para
protegernos de daños mayores, o podemos tener
sentimientos de indignación, llevándonos a ser tercos ynegándonos a tomar un solo movimiento hacia la
reconciliación. Podemos tener un fuerte deseo de darno
por vencido, para entregarnos a la desesperación.Renunciar, sin embargo, puede ser obra del diablo.
Renunciar fue cómo Satanás tentó a Jesús cuando estab
en el desierto, y fue la última tentación que Satanásarrojó a Jesús mientras él colgaba y moría en la cruz.
Sin embargo, Dios nunca se da por vencido con
nosotros. Ni siquiera cuando lo traicionamos o le damo
volteamos nuestra espalada. Pedro negó a Jesús tres
veces antes de la crucifixión de nuestro Señor. En elEvangelio de hoy, es bastante claro que Jesús no ha
renunciado a Pedro. Nuestro Señor le ofrece laoportunidad de responder tres veces por su amor a
Jesús.
"El amor incondicional" es algo que todos hemos
oído hablar. Hemos oído acerca del amor incondicionade Dios. Este tipo de amor es algo que queremos dar a
nuestros hijos, a nuestros cónyuges y familiares. A
menudo caemos en querer fijar condiciones para nuestr
"amor". Es por esto que tenemos que buscar el perdón
de Dios en la actualidad, para que podamos tener el poder de perdonar a otros como él nos ha perdonado.
Sin el poder de Dios, el amor incondicional es difícil y probablemente no alcanzable. Pero con el amor y el
poder de Dios, todo es posible - incluso amar
incondicionalmente, y hasta no “renunciar” a ellos.
" Jesús, tú eres la imagen perfecta del amordel Padre. Te alabo con todo mi corazón,
y yo entrego mi vida a ti”.

yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you willstretch out your hands, and someone
else will dress you and lead youwhere you do not want to go." He said this signifying by
what kind of death he would glorify God. And when hehad said this, he said to him, "Follow me." - Jn 21:18-19

7/8
If we ask for God’s forgiveness,
God is ready - no, eager - to give it to us.
One of the best ways to experience God’s forgivenessis to go to confession. For many people, this is not an
easy choice. We tend to be lax about encountering our
own failings, and telling them to someone else-
especially in an official capacity - can be embarrassing
and uncomfortable. Yet the priest in the confessional is
speaking Jesus' words of absolution to us – withoutrancor, without judgment, and with every hope that
our cleansing will help us become more aware of
God’s love within us.
The
Doors
of Mercy are Open
Ponder How long has it been since my lastconfession? Am I ready to go and
hear God’s forgiving words?
Pray Lord, help me find the courage to meet You in the confessional so
that I may be healed and forgiven for all the ways I have neglected
You when I have neglected others. And, help me to do better. Amen.
