~ REFLECTION ~ We have reached the end of the Easter sea-son, our “week of Sundays” of reflection on the Easter mysteries of Christ’s resurrection and our Baptism. How appropriate that we conclude with a celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit to our Church and to the world. May our prayer today be one of grat-itude for each of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

~ REFLEXION ~ Hemos llegado al final del tiempo de Pas-cua, nuestra cincuentena pascual de refle-xión sobre los misterios pascuales de la resurrección de Cristo y sobre nuestro Bautismo. Cuán apropiado es que conclu-yamos con una celebración de la venida del Espíritu Santo a nuestra Iglesia y al mundo. Que nuestra oración de hoy sea de gratitud por cada uno de los dones del Espíritu Santo en nuestra vida

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Es fácil amar a la gente lejos. No siempre es fácil amar a aquellos cerca de nosotros. Es más fácil darle una taza de arroz pa-ra aliviar el hambre que aliviar la soledad y el dolor de alguien no amado en nuestra propia casa. Trae primero amor a tu casa porque es donde debe em-pezar nuestro amor el uno por el otro.
