As I promised in my last column, I will start reflec ng on the different ministries we have in the parish with the hope you will think and pray about joining one or several of them. I would like to start this series with the most fundamental one: Hospitality. Many of you may think this is a mistake, or at least an exaggera on, but you are wrong.

Think about Holy Thursday at the Last Supper, there are so many things we celebrate that day - the priest-hood, the ins tu on of the Eucharist, the beginning of the Church. However, we o en forget one of the strangest gestures Jesus performed, the washing of the feet. It was a gesture like no other and so we do not misunderstand it he took the me to explain what he meant. I invite you to go and re-read the 13th chapter of the Gospel of John.

Those parishioners that welcome you and serve you during the Sunday liturgies are there fulfilling the great commandment of love. Without service, there is no true love. This is why I call ushers, sacristans, cleaners, decorators and all who help to set up for the Sunday liturgy, the founda onal ministers. They represent Christ on his knees washing the apostles’ feet. They are the servants of the community, they are also the “virgins” wai ng for the Master’s arrival, to use anoth-er familiar image. We cannot underes mate their role- they are the Father’s face that welcomes you as you return to his house and for them, you are the face of the Master who finally comes home. This mixing of metaphors is inten onal. We are meant to be God for each other; par cularly in the Eucharist. Remember this each me you greet them at the door.

Please, consider seriously par cipa ng in this amazing ministry in which you have the opportunity to be the face of God to your fellow parishioners. Your smile and your kindness can make a tremendous difference in the way they celebrate the Eucharist and will help them to open their hearts to receive Him.

The ministry of hospitality sets the tone of the celebra-on, you no ce that if they are distracted you get dis-

tracted, if they are grumpy you get grumpy. It is essen-al that we give to this ministry the importance it de-

serves. Maybe the Lord is telling you today, come serve my people the way I did.

2 Administrator’s Column Como lo había prome do en mi úl ma columna voy a comenzar a reflexionar en los diferentes ministerios de nuestra parroquia con la esperanza de que ustedes piensen y oren acerca de la posibilidad de unirse a uno o varios de ellos. Me gustaría empezar esta serie con el más fundamental: la Hospitalidad. Muchos de ustedes podrían pensar que esto es un error, o por lo menos es ex-ageración, pero estarían equivocados.

Piensen en el Jueves Santo durante la Úl ma Cena; hay muchas cosas que celebramos ese día: el sacerdocio, la ins tución de la Eucaris a, el comienzo de la Iglesia, sin embargo, se nos olvida fácilmente uno de los actos más extraños que el señor Jesús hizo, el lavatorio de los pies. Este fue un gesto único, y para que no lo malinterpretára-mos, el mismo nos explicó lo que significaba. Los invito a que vuelvan a leer el capítulo 13 del evangelio de san Juan.

Esos feligreses que los reciben y les sirven durante las litur-gias dominicales están ahí para cumplir el mandamiento del amor. Sin servicio no hay amor, por eso es que yo lla-mo a los ujieres, sacristanes, los que limpian, los que deco-ran y a todos los que ayudan en las liturgias dominicales, los ministros fundamentales. Ellos representan a Cristo de rodillas lavando los pies a los apóstoles. Ellos son los servi-dores de la comunidad que como las vírgenes esperan el retorno de su Señor. No podemos subes mas su rol, ellos son para ustedes el rostro del Padre que espera que su hijo retorne a casa y ustedes son para ellos la cara del Se-ñor que finalmente regresa al hogar. Esta mezcla de me-táforas es intencional, estamos llamados a ser el rostro de Dios para el otro, par cularmente en la celebración Euca-rís ca. Recuerden eso cada vez que entren a la Misa.

Por favor, consideren seriamente el par cipar de este min-isterio increíble en el que ustedes enen la oportunidad de ver la cara de Dios en sus hermanos. Su sonrisa y su bon-dad pueden hacer la diferencia en la manera en que ellos celebren la Misa y los ayudaran a abrir sus corazones para recibirlo a Él.

El ministerio de hospitalidad es el que le pone el tono a la celebración; noten que si los ministros de hospitalidad están distraídos la gente se distrae, si ellos están enojados, la gente también ende a enojarse. Es esencial que le de-mos la importancia que se merece a este ministerio. Tal vez el Señor les está diciendo hoy: ven y sirve a mi pueblo de la misma manera que yo lo hice.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

In the Gospel for the Sixth Sunday of Easter we are met with an extraordinary challenge: Jesus commands us to “love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). The letter from John echoes this command. Of course, we are to love those in our family, those we work with, those we like. But the scriptures make clear that we are also to love those we never notice, those we purposely avoid, and even those we are tempted to despise. In this Sunday’s selection from the Acts of the Apostles Peter shows us how far God’s love ex-tends, and how far our love should extend in re-sponse. Peter realizes that God no longer “shows partiality” to the Jews, sharing divine love exclu-sively with them. Christ has revealed that God’s love extends to all people, and so should ours.
