May 26, 2019 Page 5THE GIFT OF PEACE
“There arose no little dissension and debate.” Did that happen at work this week? Most of us can recall run-ins with coworkers, even with the boss. Did it happen while socializing with friends? Go easy on poli-tics, religion . . . even sports. At home? Even the most peaceful household experiences a little “give and take” now and then. So where was it that “there arose no little dissension and debate?” That tumultuous conflict occurred among our first Christian ancestors, disrupting the community life of the early church. But today’s Acts of the Apostles shows how beautifully the Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus in today’s Gospel, helped the church achieve a grace-filled resolution. What evolved was that “reconciled diversity,” often encouraged by Pope Francis and even envisioned in today’s Revelation passage; and a wondrous experience of Jesus’ promised Gospel gift: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The question of whether circumci-sion is necessary for salvation (Acts 15:1-2, 22-29). Psalm — O God, let all the nations praise you! (Psalm 67) Second Reading — John envisions the holy city, the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23) or Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20. Gospel — Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you (John 14:23-29) or John 17:20-26.
SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Sixth Sunday of Easter Monday: St. Augustine of Canterbury; Memorial Day Wednesday: St. Paul VI Thursday: The Ascension of the Lord (unless transferred to Sunday) Friday: Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saturday: St. Justin; First Saturday
EL DON DE LA PAZ “Surgieron no pocos desacuerdos y deba-tes”. ¿Pasó eso en el trabajo esta semana? Muchos de noso-tros pueden recordar algunos roces con compañeros de tra-bajo, incluso con el jefe. ¿Pasó también mientras socializa-ba con amigos? Evita hablar de política, religión . . . incluso de deportes. ¿En casa? Incluso el hogar más pacífico experimenta un poco de “estira y afloja” de vez en cuando. Entonces ¿dónde fue que “surgieron no po-cos desacuerdos y debates”? Ese tumultuoso conflicto ocu-rrió en medio de nuestros primeros hermanos cristia-nos, interrumpiendo la vida de la comunidad de la Iglesia primitiva. Pero en los Hechos de los Apóstoles muestra cuán bello es el Espíritu Santo, prometido por Jesús en el Evange-lio de hoy, que ayudó a la Iglesia a lograr una decisión llena de gracia. Lo que evolucionó fue que la “diversidad recon-ciliada” frecuentemente animada por el Papa Francisco e incluso previstas en el pasaje de hoy del Apocalipsis y una experiencia maravillosa del don de Jesús prometido por Jesús: “La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy.”
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — La cuestión de si los gentiles necesita-ban ser circuncidados (Hechos 15:1-2, 22-29). Salmo — Que te alaben, Señor, todos los pueblos Aleluya (Salmo 67 [66]). Segunda lectura — Juan tiene una visión de la ciudad santa, la nueva Jerusalén (Apocalipsis 21:10-14, 22-23) o Ap 22:12-14, 16-17, 20. Evangelio — El Espíritu Santo nos enseñará todo (Juan 14:23-29) o Jn 17:20-26.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Tristemente una vez que muchos latinoamerica-nos llegan a los Estados Unidos es difícil regresar a sus tierras de origen, ni siquiera para visitar. Por esta razón, muchos pueblos latinoamericanos han construido santuarios a sus vírgenes y santos patro-nes en tierra estadounidense. De esta manera buscan estar cerca al suelo que les trajo a luz, que les nutrió con frutas, verduras, flores, cantos, costumbres y tradiciones. En Miami el pueblo cubano ha construido una ermita dedicada a la Virgen de la Caridad del Co-bre, cuya capilla del Santísimo fue bendecida en la fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor. Debajo de su altar principal se guarda una piedra hecha con tierra de las distintas provincias de Cuba. Es bello el hecho, porque de esta manera todo cubano que se acerca al altar del Señor puede estar cerca de su terruño aun-que sea solo por un momento. Que hay en la tierra que nos llama tanto a noso-tros los latinos. Será que el libro del Génesis tiene razón, Dios forma toda persona del polvo y el co-razón latino anhela la tierra de la que fue sacado.
NEW ALTAR SERVERS NEEDED FOR ALL MASSES
To serve the Mass is an honor that requires competent and dedicated altar servers. So, we are once again recruiting new
altar servers, beginning with children at the fourth grade level, who attend, public, private or parochial school, or who are home-schooled. This ministry is an opportunity for our
children to learn more about the Mass and to assist the priest and deacon help the faithful in the pews become more
prayerful and active participants in the liturgy. Please prayer-fully consider and then discuss this ministry with your chil-
dren.
A NOTE FROM THE PARISH OFFICE: If you have moved or changed your phone number since registering with our parish, please let the rectory know so we can keep accurate records and get in touch with you when needed. Also, if you are not receiving envelopes and would like to, please call the rectory. Our number is 201-342-6300.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Why is it still Easter? The lilies have long since faded. The roots of our tradition of fifty days of rejoic-ing from Easter to Pentecost lie in the seven-day rhythm of the Jewish week, drawn from the six days of creation plus a Sabbath day. A favorite name for the Lord’s Day among our ancestors in the faith was “The Eighth Day,” meaning that in Christ a break-through to a new humanity was achieved. With that inner architecture, it makes sense to see Pentecost as a week of weeks, forty-nine days plus one, again signal-ing that a new age has begun in Christ and the out-pouring of his Spirit. The Jewish appreciation for Pen-tecost gave rise to the Jubilee year, the fiftieth year, when debts were released and prisoners set free. To-day, the character of our Easter Sundays is conveyed by joyful Alleluias and the rite of sprinkling at Mass. Long ago, people expressed this joy by suspending all rules of fasting and by never kneeling at liturgy. These customs all point to our conviction that time is holy. There is an elegant balance to the Christian year: forty days of Lenten fast and discipline give way to fifty days of unrestrained rejoicing. That’s why it is still Easter!
Hospital Visits We want to remind you that if you or a member of your family is in the hospital and would like a visit,
please call the rectory. Due to privacy laws the hospital cannot contact the parish directly. We want to visit all who are sick and this is the only way we
can find out who is hospitalized.
