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 extends, and how far our love should extend in response. Peter realizes that God no longer “shows partiality” to the Jews, sharing divine love exclusively with them. Christ has revealed that God’s love extends to all people, and so should ours.

Página 6 Sexto Domingo de Pascua 6 de mayo de 2018

ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS En el Evangelio para el Sexto Domingo de Pascua nos en-contramos con un desafío extraordinario. Jesús nos dice: “ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado” (Juan 15:12). La carta del apóstol san Juan retoma este mandamiento. Por su-puesto, debemos amar a nuestros familiares, nuestros colegas, las personas que nos agradan. Pero la Sagrada Escritura aclara que también debemos amar a los que ignoramos, a los que evi-tamos deliberadamente e incluso a los que nos sentimos tenta-dos de despreciar. En la selección de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este domingo, Pedro nos muestra hasta dónde llega el amor de Dios y hasta dónde debe llegar nuestra respuesta de amor. Pedro comprende que Dios ya “no hace distinciones” y no comparte su amor divino exclusivamente con los judíos. Cristo ha revela-do que el amor de Dios llega a todas las personas y lo mismo debe hacer el nuestro. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Ways to Help the Needy in our Community

There is an urgent need for volunteers to distribute the Eucharist to parishioners who are homebound & also Catholic residents of some local nursing homes and rehab centers. This is a very rewarding ministry that would involve leading a brief communion service for nursing home residents gathered for the service, & bringing communion individually to those residents unable to a end the service. You do not have to be a Eucharis c Minister for the regular Masses to

qualify for this service. Training will be provided. There is also a need of assistance for our priests & deacons who say Masses at nursing homes. If able to help with any of these ministries contact Jenene Karamon 501-9912/ jenenekaramon@yahoo.com
