Homilía De Hoy

Con un realismo consolador el pasaje del libro de los Hechos describe la

naturaleza tan humana de la Iglesia primitiva. Una disputa brota entre las

viudas acerca del alimento. De una manera que nos consuela y a la vez nos

desafía, el Espíritu Santo ayuda a la comunidad a resolver sus dificultades a

fin de que se desarrolle una unidad más profunda, aunque surja una

diversidad saludable. He aquí unas cosas cruciales que debe entender la

Iglesia de hoy: (1) la resolución tomada mantiene adentro a las personas en

vez de alejarlas; (2) las perspectivas divergentes que provocan la disputa

prueban ser menos importantes que la fe colectiva que vincula a las dos

partes; (3) la mayoría, que son hebreo-parlantes (los descendientes de

Abraham), no descartan las preocupaciones de los greco-parlantes, que son

la minoría (“los foráneos” o paganos). En efecto, (4) “la contrariada

minoría” es invitada a aflorar un “liderazgo autóctono” a fin de que la

estructura de la comunidad sea modificada y su ministerio extendido, dando

lugar a una continuidad creativa que mejora tanto el culto como el

testimonio. Ni la oración ni el ministerio son descuidados y Cristo sigue

siendo servido en los miembros más necesitados de la comunidad.

Así pues, la comunidad “encarna” lo que revela la primera carta del

apóstol san Pedro: todos nosotros, sin excepción, somos “piedras vivas” con

las cuales se va edificando un “templo spiritual.”

Jesús completea la lección: “No pierdan la paz. En la casa de mi Padre hay

muchas habitaciones.” Para el creyente ese futuro comienza con el

presente. Aunque desviados por los obstáculos imprevistos y expuestos a

los peligros inevitables, nosotros estamos ya en la casa de Padre, la

comunidad, en la cual Jesús se revela a sí mismo en la palabra y en la

Eucaristía, y también en cada uno de sus miembros que, aunque diversos,

forman un solo cuerpo en Jesús, que es “el camino, la verdad y la vida.”

Pregunta de la Semana Con la fortaleza que nos dan la palabra y la Eucaristía de hoy, ¿qué clase de

creatividad y comprensión puedo ofrecer a fin de trazar un camino hacia la

resolución de alguna situación o relación conflictiva?

Fátima

Mark Your Calendar!! 100 Year Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima

On Friday evening, May 19, 2017 at 7:00 PM, Corpus Christi Catholic

Church will present a Celebration of this historic event. The evening

will introduce to you The True Story of Fatima, the children’s

visionary roll in this spiritual encounter and the importance of the

Holy Rosary. Join us as we enter into this moment in time of the

Fatima Apparitions and why this story is so important to be told.

The Month of May is

Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin

Mary The month of May is the "month which the piety of the faithful

has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady," and it is the

occasion for a "moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics

in every part of the world pay to the Queen of Heaven. During

this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the

home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially fervent

and loving homage of prayer and veneration. In this month, too,

the benefits of God's mercy come down to us from her throne in

greater abundance"

Paul VI: Encyclical on the Month of May, no.1

The Rosary

Also called the Psalter (book of Psalms) of the Blessed Virgin

Mary, the Rosary is one of the most excellent prayers to the

Mother of God. Thus, "the Roman Pontiffs have repeatedly

exhorted the faithful to the frequent recitation of this biblically

inspired prayer which is centered on contemplation of the salvific

events of Christ's life, and their close association with the Virgin

Mother."
