PRAYER DURING TIME OF PANDEMIC May we who are merely inconvenienced,
remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors
remember those most vulnerable. May those who have the luxury of working from home
remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May those who have the flexibility to care for our children when schools close remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel a trip remember those who have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all. May those who settle for quarantine at home
remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love during this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
let us find ways to be the loving embrace to God and our neighbor.
Amen.
M ass intentions may be submitted by
mail or dropped off in the rectory mailbox. Suggested offerings are $25 for Sunday Masses and $15 for weekday Masses. Submit cash or money order only, payable to Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace.
GOD’S PLAN
S aint Peter speaks to us twice today. In the first reading, we hear an excerpt from his
sermon on Pentecost; in the second, part of his first letter. Once a frightened, uneducated fisherman who often said just the wrong thing, now Peter is speaking what he knows to be true. Everything Jesus had said now makes sense. His death and rising were all part of God’s plan, and our faith and hope can be centered on God. Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ walk to Emmaus with two of the disciples. Frightened, sad, and confused, the two of them don’t recognize Jesus, who tells them what we heard Peter say above: All this had to happen as part of God’s plan. In the end, these disciples recognize Jesus as we are to recognize him—in the breaking of the bread.

EL PLAN DE DIOS
H oy san Pedro nos habla dos veces. En la primera lectura, escuchamos un pasaje de
su sermón en Pentecostés; en la segunda, parte de su primera carta. Antes, un aterrorizado pescador con poca educación quien a menudo decía lo equivocado, el Pedro de ahora habla sobre la verdad que conoce. Todo lo que Jesús había dicho ahora tiene sentido. Su muerte y resurrección eran parte del plan de Dios, y nuestra fe y esperanza pueden centrarse en Dios. El Evangelio de hoy describe el relato del camino a Emaús en el que Jesús se une a dos discípulos. Atemorizados, tristes y confundidos aquellos dos no reconocen a Jesús, quien les dice lo que escuchamos a Pedro decir arriba: todo esto tuvo que suceder como parte del plan de Dios. Al final, estos discípulos reconocen a Jesús así como nosotros debemos reconocerle –al partir el pan.

Third Sunday of Easter - April 26, 2020
E mmaus might as well be Brigadoon. We hear of it in this one story—and it’s only in Luke—and then it disappears. The journey to Emmaus is one of the most beloved stories about Jesus, and yet the town is probably “mythical” in the truest sense. Like so much of life, this story is about the journey, not the
destination. Running away from Jerusalem and their fears, probably going home in disillusionment, two of Jesus’ disciples encounter a stranger on the road who, like a rabbi, is able to help them understand their experiences using his deep knowledge of scripture. Later, sharing a meal with him, they recognized the stranger as Jesus, and they return to Jerusalem to tell the others. How like our Mass—we hear the scriptures and an explanation of them, we share a meal, and then we go out to tell the good new.
THE STRANGER Imagine meeting a stranger, a fellow traveler, who butts into the conversation you’re having with your
friend. The two disciples in today’s Gospel are heading to Emmaus, seven miles away from Jerusalem, heartbroken and disillusioned. It’s the day of Jesus’ resurrection, but no one knew it when these two set out on their journey, maybe going home to resume their pre-Jesus lives because it seemed as if everything was over.
In the middle of trying to make sense of the tragedy, some eavesdropping guy asks them about their troubles. After telling their story, the disciples are amazed to find this stranger able to piece together the fragments of the broken image of their master using scripture as the glue. Then it happens—at dinner they recognize Jesus
in the breaking of bread, just before he vanishes. With their hearts burning with love and inspiration, they run back to Jerusalem—at night—to tell the others their new story.
THE STRANGER/SHEPHERD The stranger in this story who turns out to be Jesus is reminiscent
of the Gospel images of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. He seeks out his “lost sheep” who have strayed from the faith community, and the experience of the risen Lord transforms them into perhaps the very first evangelists, sharing their Good News with their friends back in Jerusalem.
Are we transformed by the time we leave Mass? We should be! Our hearts should be burning within us from our experience of Jesus in word and sacrament. Yet how often life breaks our heart and clouds our mind! We stumble toward our own Emmaus, unaware that Jesus is with us. We are privileged to experience Jesus in every Eucharist through the breaking open of scripture and by the breaking of the bread. Like the disciples of the story, that transforming experience can compel us to go forth and tell everyone the Good News.
Today’s Readings: FIRST READING — God has raised the crucified Jesus,
who now pours forth the Holy Spirit upon us (Acts of the Apostles 2:14, 22-33). RESPONSORIAL PSALM — Lord, you will show us the path of life (Psalm 16).
SECOND READING — Our faith and hope are in God, who raised Jesus from the dead (1 Peter 1:17-21). GOSPEL — Through his words and in the breaking of the bread, the risen Christ made himself known to two disciples on their way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35)

Tercer Domingo de Pascua - 26 de abril de 2020
E maús bien podría ser Brigadoon. Lo escuchamos en esta historia, y es solo en Luke, y luego desaparece. El viaje a Emaús es una de las historias más queridas sobre Jesús, y sin embargo, la ciudad es probablemente "mítica" en el sentido más verdadero. Como gran parte de la vida, esta historia trata
sobre el viaje, no el destino. Huyendo de Jerusalén y de sus temores, probablemente regresando a casa desilusionados, dos de los discípulos de Jesús se encuentran con un extraño en el camino que, como un rabino, puede ayudarlos a comprender sus experiencias utilizando su profundo conocimiento de las Escrituras. Más tarde, compartiendo una comida con él, reconocieron al extraño como Jesús, y regresaron a Jerusalén para contarle a los demás. Qué parecido a nuestra misa: escuchamos las Escrituras y una explicación de ellas, compartimos una comida y luego salimos a contar la buena noticia.
¡LA BUENA NUEVA! Cuando Pedro enfrenta a la multitud en Pentecostés, él fue animado
por el Espíritu Santo y proclamó apasionadamente la verdad de Jesucristo a aquellos que se reunieron para escucharlo. Seguramente había algo en él que no estaba seguro de que esperar, sabiendo que unas semanas antes, las multitudes habían coreado “crucifíquenlo” cuando Jesús estaba sentenciado a una muerte cruel e injusta. Las personas que escucharon a Pedro se conmovieron por su testimonio, obligados a reconocer su pecaminosidad y a aceptar el anuncio de la salvación por medio de Jesucristo como Buena Nueva, el Evangelio que lo cambia todo.
JESÚS SALVA Se honesto contigo mismo; ¿te has ido por el mal camino? ¿Has caído en la tentación o en la debilidad?
¿Sientes que algunas veces necesitas a alguien para ayudarte a volver a encarrilar tu vida? Muchas personas podrían responder sí a cualquiera de estas preguntas. Como personas de fe, sabemos que Jesús entiende las dificultades que enfrentamos y da su vida para salvarnos de nuestra humana fragilidad. El Señor sabe que necesitamos ayuda para vivir como el Pueblo de Dios en el mundo. Hay personas y fuerzas que nos inducen al error, que ofrecen un camino que por un tiempo parece atractivo, incluso aunque no nos lleve al verdadero camino de la vida, el amor y la paz. Podemos rápidamente ser disuadidos y distraídos del camino de la santidad. Fácilmente perdemos nuestro camino, con señuelos de las trampas de las posesiones materiales, la riqueza o una posición social. Jesús es nuestro único camino verdadero, la puerta que nos guía a un significado y a la paz en nuestro tiempo terrenal y para la vida eterna.
Lecturas de hoy: PRIMERA LECTURA — No era posible que Jesús quedara bajo el dominio de la muerte
(Hechos de los Apóstoles 2, 14. 22-33). SALMO RESPONSORIAL — Señor, nos mostrarás el sendero de vida (Salmo 16 [17]).
SEGUNDA LECTURA — Han sido salvados por la Sangre preciosa de Cristo, como con un cordero sin mancha ni defecto( 1 Pedro 1, 17-21).
EVANGELIO — Reconocieron a Jesús en la fracción del pan (Lucas 24, 13-35)
