Living Our Faith Parish Social Ministry In today’s Gospel, Jesus becomes the farewell gift to the disciples, who in turn become the farewell gift to the world as they

are to go out and take up the saving mission of Jesus. Jesus is also aware of their human condition, doubt which leads to fear,

success which could lead to arrogance and indifference to others. He tells them that He will always be with them even to the

end of time.

In the third chapter of Pope Francis’ book: Embracing the Way of Jesus, (Loyola Press, 2017), Pope Francis tells about the

Old Testament Way. He states that the world should be a place of happiness and peace where all men and women find their

home because as the father creates all things, they are “good”. He then speaks about Cain and Abel, about what happens to

men and women when they only think about their own interests and places themselves in the center, becoming like God. The

harmony that God created becomes broken and the brother, “who is to be cared for and loved, becomes an adversary to fight,

to kill” (p. 19). God will then ask us “where are you? Where is your brother?” and we will forget that “we are our brother’s

keepers!” Even today, we need to continue to ask and answer these questions because when we “let ourselves be guided by

idols, by selfishness, by our own interests and (allow for this) attitude to persist… (We) perfect our weapons, our conscience

“falls asleep”… (it is when we build walls) and we “sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves (all Mexicans are rapists, all

Muslims are terrorists, refugees are Muslims, so therefore, they are all terrorists) (and we don’t need to help them) (p.19) ”.

We lose our ability to weep….weep for those “refugees drowning in their attempt to reach Europe. (Have we wept) for those

mothers and babies that where on the boats and drowned? For (the) men who are looking for a means of supporting their

families? We are a society that has forgotten how to weep, how to experience compassion – “suffering with” others. The

Who is my brother? And, am I my brother’s keeper? Am I taking up the saving Mission of Christ to all my brothers and sis-

7th Sunday of Easter

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150

Primera lectura Hch 1, 1-11 En mi primer libro, querido Teófilo, escribí acerca de todo lo que Jesús hizo y enseñó, hasta el día en que ascendió al cielo, después de

dar sus instrucciones, por medio del Espíritu Santo, a los apóstoles que había elegido. A ellos se les apareció después de la pasión, les dio

numerosas pruebas de que estaba vivo y durante cuarenta días se dejó ver por ellos y les habló del Reino de Dios. Un día, estando con

ellos a la mesa, les mandó: "No se alejen de Jerusalén. Aguarden aquí a que se cumpla la promesa de mi Padre, de la que ya les he

hablado: Juan bautizó con agua; dentro de pocos días ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo". Los ahí reunidos le preguntaban:

"Señor, ¿ahora sí vas a restablecer la soberanía de Israel?" Jesús les contestó: "A ustedes no les toca conocer el tiempo y la hora que el

Padre ha determinado con su autoridad; pero cuando el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre ustedes, los llenará de fortaleza y serán mis

testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaria y hasta los últimos rincones de la tierra". Dicho esto, se fue elevando a la vista de ellos,

hasta que una nube lo ocultó a sus ojos. Mientras miraban fijamente al cielo, viéndolo alejarse, se les presentaron dos hombres vestidos

de blanco, que les dijeron: "Galileos, ¿qué hacen allí parados, mirando al cielo? Ese mismo Jesús que los ha dejado para subir al cielo,

volverá como lo han visto alejarse".

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 46 R. Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono. Aleluya.

Segunda Lectura Ef 1, 17-23

Hermanos: Pido al Dios de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el Padre de la gloria, que les conceda espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación para

conocerlo. Le pido que les ilumine la mente para que comprendan cuál es la esperanza que les da su llamamiento, cuán gloriosa y rica es

la herencia que Dios da a los que son suyos y cuál la extraordinaria grandeza de su poder para con nosotros, los que confiamos en él, por

la eficacia de su fuerza poderosa. Con esta fuerza resucitó a Cristo de entre los muertos y lo hizo sentar a su derecha en el cielo, por

encima de todos los ángeles, principados, potestades, virtudes y dominaciones, y por encima de cualquier persona, no sólo del mundo

actual sino también del futuro. Todo lo puso bajo sus pies y a él mismo lo constituyó cabeza suprema de la Iglesia, que es su cuerpo, y la

plenitud del que lo consuma todo en todo.

Evangelio Mt 28, 16-20

En aquel tiempo, los once discípulos se fueron a Galilea y subieron al monte en el que Jesús los había citado. Al ver a Jesús, se postraron,

aunque algunos titubeaban. Entonces, Jesús se acercó a ellos y les dijo: "Me ha sido dado todo poder en el cielo y en la tierra. Vayan,

pues, y enseñen a todas las naciones, bautizándolas en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, y enseñándolas a cumplir todo

cuanto yo les he mandado; y sepan que yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo".

Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song

First Reading ACTS 1:1-11

In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the

Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to

them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While meeting with the them, he enjoined them not to depart from

Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few

days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to

restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his

own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout

Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him

from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside

them. They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven

will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."

Responsorial Psalm PS 47 R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

Second Reading EPH 1:17-23

Brothers and sisters: May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in

knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the

riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord

with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the

heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the

one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of

the one who fills all things in every way.

Gospel MT 28:16-20

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they

doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make

disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that

I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

Viviendo nuestra fe Pastoral Social Parroquial

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se convierte en el regalo de despedida a los discípulos, que a su vez se convierten en el regalo

de despedida al mundo, ya que deben salir y asumir la misión salvífica de Jesús. Jesús es también consciente de su condición

humana, la duda que lleva al miedo, el éxito que podría conducir a la arrogancia y la indiferencia a los demás. Él les dice que

Él estará siempre con ellos hasta el fin de los tiempos.

En el tercer capítulo del libro del Papa Francisco: Abrazando el Camino de Jesús, (Loyola Press, 2017), el Papa Francisco

habla del Camino del Antiguo Testamento. Afirma que el mundo debe ser un lugar de felicidad y paz donde todos los

hombres y mujeres encuentran su hogar porque como el Padre es el creador de todas las cosas, todo es "bueno". Luego habla

de Caín y Abel, acerca de lo que sucede a los hombres cuando sólo piensan en sus propios intereses y se sitúan en el centro,

convirtiéndose en Dios. La armonía que Dios creó se rompe y el hermano "que ha de ser cuidado y amado, se convierte en

un adversario para luchar, y matar" (p.19). Dios entonces nos preguntará "¿dónde estás? ¿Dónde está tu hermano? ", Y

olvidaremos que" somos guardas de nuestro hermano”. Aún hoy debemos seguir preguntando y respondiendo a estas

preguntas porque cuando "nos dejamos guiar por los ídolos, por el egoísmo, por nuestros propios intereses, y (permitimos)

que esta actitud persista.... (Nosotros) perfeccionamos nuestras armas, nuestra conciencia "se queda dormida"... (Es cuando

construimos muros) y "afilamos nuestras ideas para justificarnos (todos los mexicanos son violadores, todos los musulmanes

son terroristas, los refugiados son musulmanes, por lo tanto, son terroristas) (y no necesitamos ayudarlos) (p.19). Perdemos

la capacidad de llorar... para aquellos "refugiados ahogados en su intento de llegar a Europa (¿hemos llorado por aquellas

madres y bebés que cruzaban en los barcos y se ahogaron?" Por los hombres que buscan un medio para sostener a sus

familias... Somos una sociedad que ha olvidado cómo llorar, cómo experimentar la compasión - "sufrir con" los demás. “La

globalización de la indiferencia nos ha quitado la capacidad de llorar! (p.19).

¿Quién es mi hermano? ¿Y soy el guardián de mi hermano? ¿Estoy asumiendo la misión salvífica de Cristo para todos mis

hermanos y hermanas? ¿Me he asustado y llenado de miedo que no recuerdo que Cristo está con nosotros hasta el fin de los

tiempos?
