Sixth Sunday of Easter May 26, 2019

En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús les promete a sus discípulos que Dios permanecerá habitando en ellos y en todos los que lo aman. También les pro-mete que recibirán el Espíritu Santo, que seguirá iluminándolos. Pero les deja algo más: la paz. La paz que no dejará que se aflijan sus corazones. La paz que no dejará que el miedo los embargue. La paz que permanecerá con ellos para siempre. En este fin de semana de conmemoración por el Día de los Caídos (Memorial Day) reflexionemos sobre la paz, que sólo Dios nos puede dar.

“Surgieron no pocos desacuerdos y debates”. ¿Pasó eso en el trabajo esta semana? Muchos de nosotros pueden recordar algunos roces con compañeros de trabajo, incluso con el jefe. ¿Pasó también mientras socializaba con amigos? Evita hablar de política, religión. . . incluso de deportes. ¿En casa? Incluso el hogar más pacífico experimenta un poco de “estira y afloja” de vez en cuando. Entonces ¿dónde fue que “surgieron no pocos desacuer-dos y debates”? Ese tumultuoso conflicto ocurrió en medio de nuestros primeros hermanos cristianos, interrumpiendo la vida de la comunidad de la Iglesia primitiva. Pero en los He-chos de los Apóstoles muestra cuán bello es el Espíritu Santo, prometido por Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, que ayudó a la Iglesia a lograr una decisión llena de gracia. Lo que evolu-cionó fue que la “diversidad reconciliada” frecuentemente animada por el Papa Francisco e incluso previstas en el pasaje de hoy del Apocalipsis y una experiencia maravillosa del don de Jesús prometido por Jesús: “La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy”.

El último párrafo de la primera lectura de hoy consiste de una carta de los líderes de la Iglesia de Jerusalén a los recién cristianos conversos en las regiones no judías de Siria y Ci-licia. El titular aquí es, por supuesto, que los paganos que fueron bautizados no tenían que “convertirse al judaísmo” para ser cristianos. Al proseguir con esa decisión la carta emite unos sentimientos muy compasivos hacia los cristianos de origen pagano y reconoce los sentimientos de ellos, que se sienten molestos. Aunque ese malestar fue causado por las ac-ciones de unos cristianos judíos, que los líderes de la Iglesia no habían enviado, la carta ex-presa simpatía por los resultados de esas acciones. En efecto, los remitentes de la carta deciden seleccionar representantes a fin de que la misma situación no surja en el futuro. O sea, que encontraron la solución para un problema que ellos, para empezar, no habían creado. Unidad no es lo mismo que uniformidad. Los líderes de la Iglesia primitiva tenían presente

que sus creencias eran lo más importante y no sus prácticas, ni aun aquellas asociadas con una larga tradición. Era posible tener diversidad dentro de la unidad. Hoy nosotros esta-mos llamados a tener esos mismos ideales. Aunque estamos unidos por nuestras creencias, las cuales proclamamos cada domingo en el Credo, aceptamos la diversidad en nuestros antecedentes familiares, nuestras tradiciones y costumbres.

El Apocalipsis describe la ciudad celestial, la nueva Jerusalén, en toda su gloria y esplendor. Significativamente hay una docena de puertas que todas conducían a la ciudad y daban a diferentes direcciones. En otras palabras, las per-sonas pueden entrar a la Jerusalén celestial sin importar de dónde proceden. Un destino con muchas rutas.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus

promises his dis- ciples that God will continue to dwell with them and with all who love him. He also promises that they will receive the Holy Spirit, who will continue to enlighten them. But he leaves them one more thing—peace. Peace to keep their hearts from being troubled. Peace to protect them from fear. Peace to stay with them forever. On this Memorial Day weekend, let us reflect on the peace that only God can provide.

“There arose no little dissension and debate.” Did that happen at work this week? Most of us can recall run-ins with coworkers, even with the boss. Did it happen while socializing with friends? Go easy on politics, religion . . . even sports. At home? Even the most peaceful household experiences a little “give and take” now and then. So where was it that “there arose no little dissension and debate”? That tumultuous conflict occurred among our first Christian ancestors, disrupting the community life of the early church. But today’s Acts of the Apostles shows how beautifully the Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus in today’s Gospel, helped the church achieve a grace-filled resolution. What evolved was that “reconciled diversity,” often encouraged by Pope Francis and even envisioned in today’s Revelation passage; and a wondrous experience of Jesus’ promised Gospel gift: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”

The final paragraph of today’s first reading consists of a letter from the church leaders in Jerusalem to the newly converted Christians in the non-Jewish regions of Syria and Cilicia. The headline here, of course, is that Gentiles who were baptized did not have to “become Jewish” to be Christian. But as it proceeds to that decision, the letter delivers some very compassionate sentiments to the Christians of Gentile origin. It acknowledges their feelings, rec-ognizing that they’re upset. Even though this was caused by the actions of Jewish Christians whom the church leaders did not send in the first place, they express sympathy for the results of those actions. In fact, they decide to choose representatives themselves so this can be avoided in the future. They found a solution for a problem they did not create. May 26, 2019 21

Unity is not the same as uniformity. The leaders of the early church real-ized that their beliefs were of the most importance, not their practices, even those associated with long-standing traditions. It was possible to have diversity within their unity. We are called to the same ideals today. Though we are unified in our beliefs, which we proclaim each Sunday in the creed, we welcome diversity in our backgrounds, traditions, and customs.

Revelation describes the heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, in all its glory and splendor. Significantly, a dozen gates lead into the city and the gates face in every different direction. In other words, people can enter the heavenly Jerusalem no matter where they are coming from. One destina-tion, many routes in.
