What happened to Jesus’ disciples when Jesus died? The Christian community

was formed. Even though the situation was totally difficult, the new community was

taking shape because of three things: faith, unity and sharing. The old adage “In unity

there is strength” did not disappoint.

As described by Luke, the new Christian community was vibrant. They were

one and they helped each other by sharing what they have so that they would be able

to give what each one needed. Christ was a community builder. After his resurrection,

the same community building character has made the new Christian community

survive the difficult situations and then the vibrant community grew exponentially

due to the witnessing of these vibrant Christian communities.

Did the vibrant community grow naturally? No. It grew from the work of the

Holy Spirit that was moving the disciples to do what they were commissioned to do and the faithful followed

them. The unity and solidarity that served as a magnet to keep adding new members were the outward mani-

festations of that movement.

Christ had always challenged the status quo in order that the righteousness of God would be revealed.

The Christian community was always charged to do that. Jesus had done that because he was faithful and

obedient to the Father and He listened to the guidance of the Spirit. Only through openness to the movement of

the Holy Spirit and faithfulness to the Church teachings would the Christian community be able to do that

charge successfully.

The vibrant community that was growing rapidly had met many challenges. One of them was getting

distracted by their former ways. Many times, the community was misled by their personal interests which led

them to disagree. They had resolved many issues with the guidance of the Holy Spirit working through their

leaders. Those who believed in the work of the Holy Spirit stayed. Those who failed to recognize the inspira-

tion of the Holy Spirit fell back to their previous life.

The work of the Holy Spirit is a mystery that continues to awe us. He is there perpetually moving us to

do just as Jesus commanded us: “Love one another as I have loved you.”

o0o

One of the admirers of Christ was Mahatma Gandhi. When he was a student in South Africa, he read

the Bible and was inspired by the Jesus character. He thought, Jesus would be an effective antidote to the caste

system in India. He was inspired to learn more about the Christian faith. He decided to visit a local Christian

church. He was shown the door and told he could only attend Mass for black people. He left the church and

never returned.

There are two sides to this story:1) Is Christ our way to provide solutions to our human problems?

2) Do we build a church of communion?

o0o

Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us of the unlimited mercy of God. In St. Faustina’s encounter with

Jesus, she saw the saving work of baptism and Eucharist. Jesus, who was sacrificed, has the power to cleanse

us of our sins and strengthen us from the temptations of the world. The water and blood that flowed out from

the side of Jesus are the cleansing water of baptism and the nourishing blood and body of Christ, the Eucha-

rist.

St. Faustina also pleaded to the world to listen to the message of Christ. She calls all men and women

to receive the Gospel and to accept Christ in their hearts. All of us who know Christ must strive to be models

for the world to see and be inspired to conversion.

¿Qué pasó con los discípulos de Jesús cuando Jesús murió? La comunidad cristiana se formó. Aunque

la situación era totalmente difícil, la nueva comunidad estaba tomando forma debido a tres cosas: la fe, la uni-

dad y el compartir. Como dice el viejo dicho "En la unidad hay fuerza" no decepciona.

Según lo descrito por Lucas, la nueva comunidad cristiana era vibrante. Ellos eran uno y se ayudaban

mutuamente compartiendo lo que tenían para poder dar lo que cada uno necesitaba. Cristo fue un constructor

de la comunidad. Después de su resurrección, el mismo carácter de construcción comunitaria ha hecho que la

nueva comunidad cristiana sobreviva a las situaciones difíciles y luego la vibrante comunidad creció exponen-

cialmente debido al testimonio de estas vibrantes comunidades cristianas.

¿La comunidad vibrante creció naturalmente? No. Creció de la obra del Espíritu Santo que estaba mo-

viendo a los discípulos a hacer lo que se les encargó hacer y los fieles los siguieron. La unidad y la solidaridad

la cuales sirvieron de imán para seguir añadiendo nuevos miembros, fueron las manifestaciones externas de

ese movimiento.

Cristo siempre había desafiado el status para que la justicia de Dios fuera revelada. La comunidad cris-

tiana siempre fue acusada de hacer eso. Jesús lo había hecho porque era fiel y obediente al Padre y escuchaba

la guía del Espíritu. Sólo a través de la apertura al movimiento del Espíritu Santo y la fidelidad a las enseñan-

zas de la Iglesia la comunidad cristiana sería capaz de hacer esa carga con éxito.

La vibrante comunidad que estaba creciendo rápidamente se había enfrentado a muchos desafíos. Uno

de ellos estaba distraído por sus formas anteriores. Muchas veces, la comunidad fue engañada por sus intereses

personales lo que los llevó a estar en desacuerdo. Habían resuelto muchos asuntos con la guía del Espíritu San-

to trabajando a través de sus líderes. Quienes creyeron en la obra del Espíritu Santo y permanecieron. Aquellos

que no reconocieron la inspiración del Espíritu Santo volvieron a su vida anterior.

La obra del Espíritu Santo es un misterio que continúa imponiéndonos. Él está allí perpetuamente

moviéndonos a hacer lo que Jesús nos mandó: "Amaos los unos a los otros como yo os he amado”.

O0o

Uno de los admiradores de Cristo fue Mahatma Gandhi. Cuando era estudiante en Sudáfrica, leyó la

Biblia y se inspiró en el carácter de Jesús. Él pensó, Jesús sería un antídoto eficaz al sistema de la casta en la

India. Se inspiró para aprender más sobre la fe cristiana. Decidió visitar una iglesia cristiana local. Le mostra-

ron la puerta y le dijeron que sólo podía asistir a la misa de personas de color. Él dejó la iglesia y nunca regre-

só.

Hay dos aspectos en esta historia: 1) ¿Es Cristo nuestra manera de proveer soluciones a nuestros pro-

blemas humanos? 2) ¿Construimos una iglesia de comunión?

O0o

El Domingo de la Divina Misericordia nos recuerda la misericordia ilimitada de Dios. En el encuentro

de Santa Faustina con Jesús, vio la obra salvadora del bautismo y de la Eucaristía. Jesús, quien fue sacrificado,

tiene el poder de limpiarnos de nuestros pecados y fortalecernos de las tentaciones del mundo. El agua y la

sangre que fluyeron del costado de Jesús son el agua purificadora del bautismo y la sangre nutritiva y el cuerpo

de Cristo, en la Eucaristía.

Santa Faustina también rogó al mundo que escuchara el mensaje de Cristo. Ella llama a todos los hom-

bres y mujeres a recibir el Evangelio y a aceptar a Cristo en sus corazones. Todos nosotros que conocemos a

Cristo debemos esforzarnos por ser modelos para que el mundo vea y sea inspirado a la conversión.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Feast of Divine Mercy – April 23: Go to Mass, Adoration, Confession, and Pray a Chaplet.

I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your

hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth

and it tells me about Your beauty; even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflecton of Your incomprehensible

Beauty. And although You have hidden yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eyes, enlightened by faith, reaches You

and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immerses in prayer of adoration. O

Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the the honor of

Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my

blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on

my death bed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mery. Amen. (St. Maria

Faustina)

Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24

hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to
