THE WOUNDS OF JESUS In the Gospel passage from John, Jesus appears

twice to his disciples, and both times Jesus shows them his wounds from his crucifixion. Thomas actually touches the wounds. Jesus’ wounds did not disappear after the Resurrection. Jesus meant for his followers to know that his sufferings, and ours, are part of our encounter with him. Jesus revealed how God is present in our human suffering, joining us in our most painful moments with consolation and with mercy.

Suffering is a great mystery, and we cannot adequately explain or justify the many wounds we experience in life. However, in prayer God can open a way forward. The Holy Spirit might offer wisdom to perceive when or how our sufferings make healing or hope possible for others or for ourselves. When we enter into this mystery we follow Jesus, who radically trusted God to transform his sufferings into new life.

EMBODYING FORGIVENESS In just a few verses, we see that the disciples

received not only a new perspective on suffering, but a new energy and a new task in their lives. Their new energy, Jesus’ very breath, is the Holy Spirit. Their new task, given in the same breath, is to embody God’s forgiveness and proclaim this forgiveness to all. When Jesus appeared to them, he didn’t castigate them for their abandonment and betrayal of him just days before. Jesus gave them the peace of being forgiven. He gave the Holy Spirit, so to forgive others. The experience of being forgiven and forgiving others is at the heart of the Gospel. Jesus came to proclaim and to manifest God’s desire to reconcile with God’s very sons and daughters, us human beings. God is always working toward reconciliation and rejoices when any broken relationship is healed. When we accept forgiveness from God or from others, we are letting God into our hearts. When we forgive others or ourselves, we are participating in God’s work.

DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA

8 DE ABRIL DEL 2018

LAS LLAGAS DE JESÚS En el Evangelio de Juan, Jesús se aparece dos veces

a sus discípulos, y en esas apariciones Jesús les muestra las llagas de su crucifixión. De hecho, Tomás las toca. Las llagas de Jesús no desaparecieron después de su resurrección. Con eso, Jesús quiere que sus seguidores sepan que su sufrimiento, y los nuestros, sean parte de nuestro encuentro con él. Jesús reveló cómo Dios está presente en nuestro sufrimiento, uniéndose en nuestros momentos más dolorosos con consuelo y misericordia.

El sufrimiento es un gran misterio y no podemos explicar o justificar adecuadamente las muchas llagas que experimentamos a lo largo de la vida. Sin embargo, en la oración Dios puede abrir un camino por delante. El Espíritu Santo puede ofrecer sabiduría para percibir cuándo o cómo nuestros sufrimientos hacen posible la sanación o la esperanza para otros y para nosotros mismos. Cuando entramos en este misterio seguimos a Jesús, quien confió radicalmente en Dios para transfor-mar sus sufrimientos a una nueva vida.

INCORPORANDO EL PERDÓN En unos pocos versos, vemos que los discípulos no

solamente recibieron una nueva perspectiva del sufri-miento, sino una nueva fuerza y una nueva tarea en sus vidas. Su nueva fuerza, el mismo aliento de Jesús, es el Espíritu Santo. Su nueva tarea, dada en el mismo aliento, es incorporar el perdón de Dios y proclamar ese perdón a todos. Cuando Jesús se les apareció, él no los castigó por haberlo abandonado o traicionado hacía solo unos días. Jesús les dio la paz de ser perdonados. Él dio el Espíritu Santo para que pudieran perdonar a los demás.

La experiencia de ser perdonado y perdonar a otros está en el corazón del Evangelio. Jesús vino a proclamar y a manifestar el deseo de Dios de reconciliarse con sus hijos e hijas, nosotros como personas. Dios está siempre trabajando hacia la reconciliación y se regocija cuando una relación rota es sanada. Cuando aceptamos el perdón de Dios y de los demás, así permitimos que Dios entre a nuestros corazones. Cuando perdonamos a otros o a nosotros mismos, participamos en el trabajo de Dios. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

NEWS FROM FAITH FORMATION

Our Confirmation retreat weekend began with the teens leading Stations of the Cross on Friday evening. Saturday was filled with beautiful experiences, including Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the sacrament of Reconciliation. During the day, we reflected on Saint Veronica and the virtues she displayed as she walked with our Lord toward Calvary. In addition, Saint projects were on display for all to enjoy and by which to be inspired.

“All Holy men and women, pray for us.” Thank you to all those who helped make it a very special weekend!
