Page 2: April 23, 2017 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER - …stbernard-parish.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/17bulletin... · 2nd Sunday of Easter * Divine Mercy Sunday ~ Easter Sunday at the Mass

2nd

Sunday of Easter * Divine Mercy Sunday ~ Easter Sunday at the Mass of dawn the gospel proclaimed that the

disciples found an empty tomb. They “saw and believed.” Even though they did not clearly understand, they

needed nothing more. They rushed back to tell the others who believed on their testimony. It is that readiness to

believe that stands in such stark contrast to Thomas. It is no surprise that he has been nicknamed: ‘the doubter’.

Thomas always needed to see in order to understand. He needed answers and explanations. Jesus always took the time to ‘show’

him and to help him to ‘see’. Jesus appeared a second time and invited Thomas to put his finger in his hand and in his side. That

was enough. Thomas made an elegant profession of faith: “My Lord and my God!” We might be inclined to judge Thomas harshly

were it not true about us also. Are we always willing to believe what Jesus tells us? Do we accept his word or do we also need

proofs? In the beginning of today’s gospel when Jesus appeared to the disciples he said to them: “As the father has sent me, so I

send you.” He breathed on them and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit.” How many of us believe he has done that to us? How many

believe that they were called AND sent? How many actually believe they are filled with the Holy Spirit and have gifts to give? How

many have shared ministry within the church because they feel compelled to spread this good news to others? This Sunday is also

called Divine Mercy Sunday because of the proclamation in the 2nd

reading that God, in his great mercy, “gave us a new birth to a

living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” Do we believe that? Perhaps there is a little bit of the

‘doubter’ in each of us? Perhaps we need to be shown and convinced of our importance in God’s plan? Perhaps we need to

believe that God has actually given us something, called us and is truly sending us forth? Perhaps upon believing this, we too will

respond with Thomas: “My Lord and my God!”

2º Domingo de Pascua * Domingo de la Divina Misericordia ~ El Domingo de Pascua en la Misa del amanecer, el evangelio proclamó que los discípulos encontraron una tumba vacía. Ellos "vieron y creyeron". Aunque no entendieron claramente, no necesitaron nada más. Volvieron corriendo para decirles a los que creían en su testimonio. Es esa disposición de creer que se encuentra en tan

marcado contraste con Tomás. No es ninguna sorpresa que se le apodó: "el incrédulo". Tomás siempre necesitó ver para entender. Necesitaba respuestas y explicaciones. Jesús siempre se tomó el tiempo para 'mostrar' y para ayudarlo a 'ver'. Jesús apareció por segunda vez y le invitó a meter su dedo en su mano y en su costado. Eso fue suficiente. Tomás hizo una hermosa profesión de fe: "¡Señor mío y Dios mío!" Podríamos estar inclinados a juzgar a Tomás con dureza, si no sucediera lo mismo con nosotros. ¿Estamos siempre dispuestos a creer lo que Jesús nos dice? ¿Acaso aceptamos su palabra o necesitamos pruebas? En el comienzo del evangelio de hoy, cuando Jesús se apareció a los discípulos, les dijo: "Como el padre me ha enviado, así también los envoi yo”. Sopló sobre ellos y les dijo: "Reciban el Espíritu Santo”. ¿Cuántos de nosotros creemos que ha hecho lo mismo por nosotros? ¿Cuántos creen que fueron llamados Y enviados? ¿Cuántos realmente creen que están llenos del Espíritu Santo y tienen dones para compartir? ¿Cuántos han compartido el ministerio dentro de la iglesia porque se sienten obligados a difundir esta buena noticia a otros? Este Domingo también se le llama Domingo de la Divina Misericordia dada a la proclamación en la segunda lectura de que Dios, por su gran misericordia, “porque al resucitar a Jesucristo de entre los muertos, nos concedió renacer a la esperanza de una vida nueva”. Creemos eso? Tal vez haya un poco del 'incrédulo' en cada uno de nosotros? ¿Quizás necesitamos que se nos muestre y se nos convenzca de nuestra importancia en el plan de Dios? ¿Quizás necesitamos creer que Dios realmente nos ha dado algo, que nos ha llamado y está realmente enviándonos? Tal vez al creer esto, también nosotros responderemos con Tomás: "¡Señor mío y Dios mío!"
