From Fr. Davy’s Desk:
On this fifth Sunday of Easter we read in the Acts of the Apostles that two of the
apostles, Paul and Barnabas, returned to Antioch to strengthen the believers and to en-
courage them to persevere in faith. We read in the previous chapter (13:50), "The Jews
stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their terri-
tory." So despite the animosity and persecution, the two apostles went back to the city
and continued to preach to the people there boldly. They warned the believers that suf-
fering is an essential part of Christian life. Saint Paul in his letter to the Romans (8:35)
emphasizes the suffering saying, "Can anything separate me from the love of Christ -
hardships, distress, persecution, lack of food and clothing, threats or violence?”
The second reading from the book of Revelation we read about the new heaven
and a new earth. In this holy and new city of Jerusalem God will wipe every tear from
their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old or-
der has passed away." In the modern world where there are so many domestic, religious,
national and international conflicts going on we may think it’s a dream world, not easy
to fulfill. But we have the means also suggested in the second reading and Gospel. The
early Christian community used the means of prayer and fasting to live in peace and har-
mony in the midst of persecution.
In today's gospel we hear Jesus' commandment: "I give you a new commandment:
love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how
all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Let us ask
ourselves this week; “How can we create a new harmonious world and love others as Je-
sus loved?

Mensaje del Padre Davy:
En este quinto domingo de Pascua, leemos en los Hechos de los Apóstoles que dos
de los apóstoles, Pablo y Bernabé, regresaron a Antioquía para fortalecer a los creyentes
y animarlos a perseverar en la fe. Leemos en el capítulo anterior (13:50): "Los judíos
provocaron una persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé y los expulsaron de su territorio".
Entonces, a pesar de la animosidad y la persecución, los dos apóstoles regresaron a la
ciudad y continuaron predicando a la gente allí con valentía. Advirtieron a los creyentes
que el sufrimiento es una parte esencial de la vida cristiana. San Pablo en su carta a los
romanos (8:35) enfatiza el sufrimiento diciendo: "¿Puede algo separarme del amor de
Cristo: las dificultades, la angustia, la persecución, la falta de comida y ropa, las amena-
zas o la violencia?"
La segunda lectura del libro de Apocalipsis leemos sobre el nuevo cielo y una
nueva tierra. En esta santa y nueva ciudad de Jerusalén, Dios limpiará cada lágrima de
sus ojos, y no habrá más muerte ni luto, lamento o dolor, porque el antiguo orden ha
desaparecido. En el mundo moderno donde hay tantos, los conflictos religiosos, nacio-
nales e internacionales que están ocurriendo pueden pensar que es un mundo de sueños,
no fácil a realizar. Pero tenemos los medios sugeridos en la segunda lectura y en el
Evangelio. La comunidad cristiana primitiva utilizó los medios de oración y ayuno para
vivir en la paz y armonía en medio de la persecución.
En el evangelio de hoy, escuchamos el mandamiento de Jesús: "Te doy un nuevo
mandamiento: amaos unos a otros. Como yo los he amado a ustedes, también deben
amarse los unos a los otros. Así es como todos sabrán que ustedes son mis discípulos, si
tienen amor. uno para el otro." Preguntémonos esta semana; “¿Cómo podemos crear un
nuevo mundo armonioso y amar a los demás como Jesús amó?
