PASTOR’S NOTE LA NOTA DEL PARROCO
2nd Sunday of Easter - Divine Mercy Sunday
This Sunday's Gospel reading sets the stage for Pentecost. Prior to giving us the full gift of his Spirit, Je-sus provides the gift of peace, the gift of his heart. A su-pernatural gift, it penetrates deep into our own hearts. It is the calming presence of Christ when we face challeng-es and difficulties.
Jesus bestowed it upon his first apostles twice in the same meeting shortly after his resurrection. Then he gave them the life-breath of God, the Holy Spir-it, and commissioned them with the priesthood of for-giving the sins of others -- another gift that brings peace.
This gift of peace has been distributed by Jesus ever since, through the ordained priesthood in what we now call the Sacrament of Reconciliation. And to hold us steady in our efforts to remain holy, Jesus still gives us the breath of God. This breath, this life-sustaining presence of God's Spirit, which created the world and which keeps us spiritually alive, is the Holy Spirit -- God's holiness activating us and dwelling within us.
Whatever is not holy -- not of the Spirit -- is sinful and destructive. Jesus, who is the embodiment of Divine Mercy, died on the cross and gave us his Spirit so that we could live in the forgiveness of God.
Whenever you pray the "Our Father", do it slowly and intentionally, and pay attention to these words: "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us." Think of the people who have irritated you the most or who have continued to behave hurtfully without remorse. Consciously forgive them during this prayer.
Otherwise, your unforgiveness could af-fect their eternal souls as well as your own, because you're denying them an opportunity to understand God's forgiveness through your example, and you're denying God the opportunity to forgive you for your sin of unforgiveness.
Forgiveness doesn't mean approving of the sin nor forgetting what was done. It means letting go of the desire to retaliate. It means choosing to love whether it's deserved or not. It means entering anew into Christ's gift of peace.
Questions for Personal Reflection:
Who in your life is hardest to forgive? Perhaps it's yourself! What sins are you retaining by refusing to accept that God has already made his forgiveness availa-ble through the cross and resurrection? What are you going to do this week to let go of the unforgiveness?
2do. Domingo de Pascua - Divina Misericordia La lectura del Evangelio de este domingo prepara
el escenario para Pentecostés. Antes de darnos el regalo completo de su Espíritu, Jesús ofrece el don de la paz, el don de su corazón. Un don sobrenatural, que penetra pro-fundamente en nuestros propios corazones. Es la apacible presencia de Cristo cuando nos enfrentamos a desafíos y dificultades.
Jesús se lo confiere dos veces a sus prime-ros apóstoles en la misma reunión, poco después de su resurrección. Luego les dio el aliento vital de Dios, el Espí-ritu Santo, y les encomendó el sacerdocio de perdonar los pecados de los demás -- otro regalo que nos trae paz.
Este don de la paz ha sido distribuido por Jesús desde entonces, a través del sacerdocio ordenado, en lo que ahora llamamos el Sacramento de la Reconciliación y para mantenernos constantes en nuestros esfuerzos para la santidad, Jesús nos da el aliento de Dios. Este aliento, esta presencia del Espíritu de Dios, que sostiene la vida, que creó el mundo y que nos mantiene espiritualmente vivos, es el Espíritu Santo - la santidad de Dios activándo-nos y habitando en nosotros.
Lo que no es santo -- que no proviene del Espíritu -- es pecaminoso y destructivo. Jesús, que es la encarnación de la Divina Misericordia, murió en la cruz y nos dio su Espíritu para que pudiéramos vivir en el per-dón de Dios.
Cada vez que rezas el "Padre Nuestro", hazlo lenta y deliberadamente y presta atención a estas palabras: "Perdona nuestras ofensas como también noso-tros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden". Piensa en las per-sonas que te han irritado o que se comportan hirientes contigo y no sienten ningún remordimiento. Perdónalos conscientemente durante esta oración.
De lo contrario, tu falta de perdón podría afectar sus almas eternas, así como la tuya, porque les es-tás negando la oportunidad de entender el perdón de Dios a través de tu ejemplo, y estás negando a Dios la oportuni-dad que te perdone por tu pecado de falta de perdón.
El perdón no significa aprobar el pecado ni olvidar lo que se hizo, significa dejar de lado el deseo de tomar represalias, significa elegir amar sin importar si es merecido o no, es entrar de nuevo en el regalo de la paz de Cristo.
Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal:
¿Quién, en tu vida, es la persona más difícil de
perdonar? ¡Tal vez seas tú mismo! ¿Qué pecados estás re-teniendo al negarte a aceptar que Dios dis-puso su perdón para contigo a través de la cruz y la resurrección? ¿Qué vas a hacer esta semana para dejar de lado la falta de perdón?

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP-RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
After my mother passed away, my sister and father had a falling out of sorts. When he moved to be closer to me, she
told me that she didn't ever want to speak to him again, say-ing, "Even if he is on his death bed, do not call me." My fa-
ther was in his late 70's, and the pain he would have felt if he knew her wishes would have been too much to bear. Be-
cause of this, I made a decision to not tell him. This also put a strain on my relationship with my sister as I cared for the one person in this world she seemed to despise the most.
Of all the gifts God has given us, time and family are at the top of the list to be cherished. Also, both are finite gifts. Our
family members will not walk in this world forever, and each day that slips away cannot be restored. Still, we build up walls of fear, doubt, resentment, anger, and pain, not al-lowing ourselves to forgive and be good stewards of what
we have been given.
On Divine Mercy Sunday, God's mercy is overflowing through all the earth. There is no excuse for you and me to not be reconciled with God and accept this profound com-
passion. In turn, there is no excuse to not extend that mercy and reconcile with those who have hurt us.
I always believed I would have a renewed relationship with my sister when my father's death would come to pass. Two
weeks after he passed, my sister suddenly died as well. There is no rewind of time. Yes, good stewards, today is the
day!

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA - RECONOCER A DIOS EN LOS MOMENTOS ORDINARIOS
Después de que falleció mi madre, mi hermana y mi padre se dis-gustaron, por así decirlo. Cuando el se mudo para estar más cerca
de mí, ella me dijo que nunca más quería volver a hablar con él, diciendo: "Aunque él este en su lecho de muerte, no me llames". Mi
padre tenía más de 70 años y el dolor que hubiese sentido si hubiera conocido sus deseos podría haber sido demasiado difícil de soportar. Debido a esto, tomé la decisión de no decírselo. Esto también puso una tensión en mi relación con mi hermana, ya que
me preocupaba por la única persona en este mundo a la que parecía despreciar más.
De todos los regalos que Dios nos ha dado, el tiempo y la familia
están en la parte superior de la lista para ser apreciados. Además, ambos son regalos finitos. Los miembros de nuestra familia no
caminarán en este mundo para siempre, y cada día que se escape no puede ser restaurado. Aún así, construimos muros de miedo,
duda, resentimiento, ira y dolor, sin permitirnos perdonar y ser bue-nos administradores de lo que se nos ha dado.
En el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia, la misericordia de Dios se desborda a través de toda la tierra. No hay excusa para que tú y yo
no nos reconciliemos con Dios y aceptemos esta profunda com-pasión. A su vez, no hay excusa para no extender esa misericordia
y reconciliarnos con quienes nos han lastimado.
Siempre creí que tendría una relación renovada con mi hermana cuando se produjera la muerte de mi padre. Dos semanas después
de su muerte, mi hermana murió repentinamente también. No hay retroceso en el tiempo; Sí, administradores buenos,
