2nd Sunday of Easter
My friends,
For several years we have obtained the wine we use at Mass from a winery in Ohio. The shipping costs alone have been
significant, and for the past several months I have worked with Deacon Seiler to find a locally available alternative. With
the help of various parishioners we have decided on a white wine approved by the Archdiocesan Office of Worship and
similar to what is used for the celebration of Mass at the co-Cathedral. We will begin using the new wine at Mass during
this Easter Season.
I hope that you had a chance to participate in some of the magnificent Liturgies of the Triduum during Holy Week: the
Thursday celebration of the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, with its Washing of the Feet; the Veneration of the Cross with the
Lord’s Passion on Friday; and the greatest celebration of the Liturgical Year, the Vigil Mass of Easter, at which our
catechumens were baptized. All are a remembrance for us of God’s love poured out upon us.
I will be going on vacation at the end of next week and will not be here for Sunday Masses next weekend. I will return
before the following weekend.
He is Risen! Alleluia!
Fr. Joe
Queridos amigos,
Desde hace varios años hemos obtenido el vino que usamos en la Misa de un viñedo en Ohio. Solamente los gastos de
envío han sido considerables, y durante los últimos meses he trabajado con el Diácono Seiler para encontrar una alternativa
disponible a nivel local. Con la ayuda de varios feligreses hemos decidido por un vino blanco aprobado por la Oficina de
Adoración de la Arquidiócesis y similar a lo que se utiliza para la celebración de la Misa en la Catedral . Vamos a empezar
utilizando el vino nuevo en las Misas durante este tiempo de Pascua.
Espero que haya tenido la oportunidad de participar en algunas de las liturgias magníficas del Triduo durante la Semana
Santa: la celebración jueves de la Misa de la Cena del Señor, con su lavado de los pies; la Veneración de la Cruz con la
Pasión del Señor el viernes; y la mayor celebración del año litúrgico, la Misa Vigilia de Pascua, en la que fueron bautizados
nuestros catecúmenos. Todos son un recuerdo para nosotros del amor de Dios derramado sobre nosotros.
Me voy de vacaciones al final de la próxima semana y no estaré aquí para las Misas dominicales el próximo fin de semana.
Voy a regresar antes del fin de semana siguiente.
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Aleluya!
Padre Joe

2nd Sunday of Easter
First Reading Acts 4:32-35 The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 118 (OC#877) R. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, his love is everlasting.
Second Reading 1 Jn 5:1-6 Beloved: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the Father loves also the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth.
Gospel Jn 20:19-31 On the evening of that first day of the week, when
the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.
Primera lectura Hch 4, 32-35
La multitud de los que habían creído tenía un solo corazón y una
sola alma; todo lo poseían en común y nadie consideraba suyo nada
de lo que tenía. Con grandes muestras de poder, los apóstoles daban
testimonio de la resurrección del Señor Jesús y todos gozaban de
gran estimación entre el pueblo. Ninguno pasaba necesidad, pues
los que poseían terrenos o casas, los vendían, llevaban el dinero y lo
ponían a disposición de los apóstoles, y luego se distribuía según lo
que necesitaba cada uno.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 117 (OC#877) R. Den gracias al Señor
porque es bueno, por es eterna su misericordia.
Segunda lectura 1 Jn 5, 1-6
Queridos hermanos: Todo el que cree que Jesús es el Mesías, ha
nacido de Dios; todo el que ama a un padre, ama también a los hijos
de éste. Conocemos que amamos a los hijos de Dios en que
amamos a Dios y cumplimos sus mandamientos, pues el amor de
Dios consiste en que cumplamos sus preceptos. Y sus
mandamientos no son pesados, porque todo el que ha nacido de
Dios vence al mundo. Y nuestra fe es la que nos ha dado la victoria
sobre el mundo. Porque, ¿quién es el que vence al mundo? Sólo el
que cree que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Jesucristo es el que vino por
medio del agua y de la sangre; él vino, no sólo con agua, sino con
agua y con sangre. Y el Espíritu es el que da testimonio, porque el
Espíritu es la verdad.
Evangelio Jn 20, 19-31
Al anochecer del día de la resurrección, estando cerradas
las puertas de la casa donde se hallaban los discípulos, por miedo a
los judíos, se presentó Jesús en medio de ellos y les dijo: “La paz
esté con ustedes”. Dicho esto, les mostró las manos y el costado.
Cuando los discípulos vieron al Señor, se llenaron de alegría. De
nuevo les dijo Jesús: “La paz esté con ustedes. Como el Padre me
ha enviado, así también los envío yo”. Después de decir esto, sopló
sobre ellos y les dijo: “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. A los que les
perdonen los pecados, les quedarán perdonados; y a los que no se
los perdonen, les quedarán sin perdonar”.
Tomás, uno de los Doce, a quien llamaban el Gemelo, no
estaba con ellos cuando vino Jesús, y los otros discípulos le decían:
“Hemos visto al Señor”. Pero él les contestó: “Si no veo en sus
manos la señal de los clavos y si no meto mi dedo en los agujeros
de los clavos y no meto mi mano en su costado, no creeré”. Ocho
días después, estaban reunidos los discípulos a puerta cerrada y
Tomás estaba con ellos. Jesús se presentó de nuevo en medio de
ellos y les dijo: “La paz esté con ustedes”. Luego le dijo a Tomás:
“Aquí están mis manos; acerca tu dedo. Trae acá tu mano, métela
en mi costado y no sigas dudando, sino cree”. Tomás le respondió:
“¡Señor mío y Dios mío!” Jesús añadió: “Tú crees porque me has
visto; dichosos los que creen sin haber visto”.
Otros muchos signos hizo Jesús en presencia de sus
discípulos, pero no están escritos en este libro. Se escribieron éstas
para que ustedes crean que Jesús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, y
para que, creyendo, tengan vida en su nombre.
