YESWE SAY
TO GOD!
La memoria y las marcas de nuestros sufrimientos pueden llevarnos a perder nuestra paz. Para Cristo, esto no es así. Él muestra a los discípulos sus heridas y dice: “La paz sea con vosotros”. Puede parecer contradictorio, pero no lo es. Tocar el lado herido de Cristo es tocar su misericordia, tocar un amor que vence todo. A pesar de los pecados que le hieren, viene a mí en misericordia amorosa. Las heridas de Jesús traen la paz. Cuando los apóstoles ven sus manos y su lado, se regocijan. ¡Sus heridas son su identificación! Sus heridas traen alegría. Thomas pierde la primera aparición de Jesús, regresando y exigiendo pruebas antes de que él crea. En lugar de enfadarse, Jesús le muestra sus heridas. Él invita a Tomás a tocar los signos de su sufrimiento, y Thomas cree. Las heridas de Jesús traen fe. Nosotros también necesitamos insertar nuestras manos y corazones en el lado de Cristo, para entrar en contacto con su amor y misericordia. Sólo entonces podremos ser sanados. Sólo entonces podremos experimentar la verdadera paz, alegría y fe. Es por eso que Jesús respira a sus discípulos y dice: “Recibid el Espíritu Santo, a quien perdonáis los pecados” (Juan 20: 22-23). Quiere sanar sus heridas y verlas producir alegría y paz en los demás. La gracia de Dios es llegar a todas las generaciones a través del poder del perdón que confía a su Iglesia. El sacramento de la penitencia es exactamente eso. Reconocemos nuestros pecados y Jesús responde con comprensión, perdón y consejo.
and demanding proof before he will believe. Rather than becoming angry, Jesus shows him his wounds. He invites Thomas to touch the signs of his suffering, and Thomas believes. Jesus’ wounds bring faith.
We, too, need to insert our hands and hearts into Christ’s side, to come into contact with his love and mercy. Only then can we be healed. Only then can we experience real peace, joy, and faith.
That’s why Jesus breathes on his disciples and says, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them” (John 20:22–23). He wants to heal their wounds and see them produce joy and peace in others. God’s grace is to reach all generations through the power of forgiveness he entrusts to his Church. The sacrament of penance is exactly that.
We acknowledge our sins and Jesus responds with understanding, forgiveness, and counsel.

Touching Jesus’ Mercy
The memory and marks of our sufferings can lead us to lose our peace. For Christ, this is not so.
He shows the disciples his wounds and says, “Peace be with you.” It may seem contradictory, but it isn’t. To touch Christ’s wounded side is to touch his mercy, to touch a love that overcomes everything. In spite of my sins wounding him, he comes to me in loving mercy. Jesus’ wounds bring peace.
When the apostles see his hands and side, they rejoice. His wounds are a sign that it is really him. No one else has those marks. His wounds are his identification! His wounds bring joy.
Thomas misses Jesus’ first apparition, returning
“Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained” (John 20:23).
For ReflectionHow often and how sincerely do you receive mercy through reconciliation? How often do you show and share the forgiveness and mercy you have been blessed with?

A Word From Pope Francis “We are called to abandon the behavior of sin and fix our gaze on what is essential. ‘A man is more precious for what he is than for what he has’ (Gaudium et spes, 35)….This love conquers sin and gives the strength to rise and begin again...and [be] rejuvenated.” —Homily, March 28, 2014
Yes. The Church understands the human person as a union of body and soul. Made in God’s image and likeness, we cannot separate
our physical life from our spiritual life. When our bodies die, our spiritual existence continues. Thus, to believe that we are morally bound to exhaust all possible medical treatments incorrectly overemphasizes the good of our physical life here on earth—which our faith teaches comprises, in the end, shadows and dust—and overlooks the good of our spiritual life as well as the eternal destiny to which we are called by God.
There comes a time when medical intervention, beyond that required to keep a person comfortable and to relieve pain, is unnecessary and can excessively burden the patient or the family. Elderly and imminently dying patients are not obligated to undertake unreasonable or excessively burdensome medical procedures or to use measures that sustain life beyond basic nursing care such as proper hygiene, food and fluids (when they can be assimilated into the body), comfortable room temperature, turning to avoid bed sores, and other means.
Having conversations with loved ones about this matter is an excellent way to find support during times of suffering and loss. “Do not resuscitate (DNR)” orders can be part of the process of letting go of the life we have known while embracing the new life that awaits us in Jesus Christ.

Does the Church allow sick and elderly people to have “do not resuscitate (DNR)” orders?

GREEN CORNER Did you know that the first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970! A day to teach people about environmental issues and to help change human behavior & provoke policy changes.
(EARTH DAY POEM) What You Can Do
When you see litter in the streets
And the air smells of pollution When you feel like it's all piling up
Remember there is a solution
There's something each of us can do To keep the rivers clean
To keep fresh the air we breathe And keep the forests green
Help clean a beach
Or recycle bottles and cans Learn about the problems we face
And help others understand
It doesn't have to be a lot If we each just do our share
So take time out on Earth Day To show the Earth you care

Goal: Earth Day is Sat., April 22. Pledge to remember & practice the 5 R's of Sustainability. REFUSE, REDUCE, REUSE/REPURPOSE, RECYCLE & ROT! Share what you did on Earth Day at [email protected].
