April 19, 2015 3rd Sunday of Easter Sunday
SAVORING THE EXPERIENCE
One of the wonderful things about vacations is the time we spend two or three weeks afterward savoring the experience, sharing vacation photos and memories with our family and friends. This kind of reflection puts us back in touch
with the original experience and reminds us of the relaxation and wonder the vacation afforded us. Today, on the Third
Sunday of Easter, the Church blesses us with reminders of what we celebrated two Sundays ago. All three readings are
reflections on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ. One of the threads running through these reflections is
that the purpose of the Lord’s suffering, death, and resurrection was to save us, to forgive our sins. We are given fifty
days to ponder this reality—fifty days to savor the experience of Christ’s dying and rising for us.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead (Acts 3:13-15, 17-19).
Psalm — Lord, let your face shine on us (Psalm 4).
Second Reading — We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one (1 John 2:1-5a).
Gospel — Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day (Luke 24:35-48).

SABOREA LA EXPERIENCIA
Una de las cosas maravillosas sobre las vacaciones es que después de nuestro regreso nos pasamos dos o tres semanas saboreando la experiencia, compartiendo las fotos y recuerdos con nuestra familia y amistades. Esta clase de
reflexión nos vincula nuevamente a la experiencia original y nos hacer volver a vivir el descanso y las maravillas que la
vacación nos proporcionó. Hoy, el Tercer Domingo de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da la bendición de unos recordatorios de
lo que celebramos hace dos domingos. Las tres lecturas son reflexiones del significado de la muerte y resurrección de
Cristo. Uno de los hilos que unen a estas reflexiones es que el propósito del sufrimiento, la muerte y la resurrección del
Señor fue para salvarnos y perdonar nuestros pecados. Tenemos cincuenta días para contemplar esta realidad –
cincuenta días para saborear la experiencia de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo por nosotros.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Los cristianos somos ¡testigos de Cristo resucitado!
Testimoniamos todo lo relacionado con Jesús de Nazaret
quien murió en una cruz, fue sepultado y resucitó al tercer día. Debemos ser personas que cantan y gritan
¡Resucitó, Aleluya! Tan importante es la resurrección de
Cristo que, mientras tenemos cuarenta días de Cuaresma
hay cincuenta días de Pascua en el calendario cristiano.
Durante esta época, domingo tras domingo mediante la
proclamación del Evangelio se nos transmiten escenas de
Cristo, quien cada ocho días se aparecía a sus discípulos
confirmando cada Domingo que en verdad había resucitado, instruyéndolos para que pudieran ser verdaderos
testigos de su resurrección.
Y ¿tú? ¿Cuán buen testigo eres? Un buen testigo da
testimonio de lo que ha visto, escuchado y experimentado. Para ser testigo de Cristo hay que verlo, escucharlo y
experimentarlo. La Iglesia nos da la oportunidad de verlo, escucharlo y experimentarlo diariamente, en especial
durante el domingo. Esto es posible sólo si durante la
semana vives con el corazón abierto. Abierto para ver,
escuchar y experimentar a Jesús en tu hogar, en tu trabajo, entre tus parientes y amistades.

LECCIONES DE LA NATURALEZA
Créeme porque lo he probado, encontrarás mucho

NATURE’S LESSONS
Believe one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in books. The trees and the
rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the
masters.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With the Easter season well under way, we now resume our survey of the sacrament of the sick. The pastoral
care of the sick will be misunderstood if we start from the
vantage point of the sickroom. Begin with the Sunday
assembly, from which the sick person has been separated
by the crisis of illness, and whose absence is given expression in prayer and service. The goal is to extend the
consolation of the Lord’s presence at the table to those
who are apart from it, and for the assembly to enfold them
in prayer.
Secondarily, the goal is to teach people what the
Church desires for all those who are sick. Seeing ministers dispatched to the sick from Mass every Sunday might
help a caregiver realize that their dear one can also receive Communion. Witnessing the anointing of a woman
facing surgery might help another person to overcome
hesitation and ask for the sacrament’s healing and
strength. Society’s impulse may be to marginalize the
sick, but the tradition of our community is to see them at
the center of our life. When Roman persecutors ordered
St. Lawrence the Deacon to hand over the jewels of the
church, he assembled a motley crew of the sick and the
infirm and announced with all humility, “Behold, my
lord, the treasures of the church of Christ.”
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
