APRIL 8, 2018 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER FromthePastor’sDeskSunday of the Octave of Easter and Mercy Sunday. Sunday is the day of the resurrection, when we pass from death to life, from love for ourselves to love for others, from sin to forgiveness, from the dryness of the heart to the feelings of love. This Sunday, it is where on the one hand mercy presents us how the first Christian community lived: they were "one heart and one soul", and on the other hand, the risen one gives us the true Easter message: "Peace be with you" . Jesus is peace: he puts peace between heaven

and earth; grant peace of heart. He tells them: "I leave you peace, my peace I give you" (Jn 14,27), as we recite in the rite of communion. Jesus, glorified and risen, communicates peace to us. But Thomas, as the Gospel presents us, will state: "If I do not see the nail in His hands and do not put my finger in the nail hole and put my hand in His side, I will not believe." However, Jesus accepts the challenge of Thomas. Eight days later, Jesus will return, again with the doors closed, and addressing Tomás invites him to touch his wounds with his hands. He adds: "Do not be an unbeliever but a believer." Thomas no longer needs to touch the wounds of Jesus. Those words were enough for him to proclaim the famous profession of faith: "My Lord and my God." Hopefully on this Sunday of resurrection and mercy you and I kneeling before the risen one will be able to exclaim: "My Lord and my God" and enjoy new life in the risen one, Alleluia!!!

APRIL 8, 2018 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER

Mensaje del Párroco

Domingo de la Octava de Pascua y domingo de la Misericordia. Este es el domingo, el día de la resurrección, en que pasamos de la muerte a la vida, del amor por nosotros mismos al amor por los demás, del pecado al perdón, de la aridez del corazón a los sentimientos del amor. El domingo, en donde de un lado la misericordia nos presenta como vivía la primera comunidad cristiana: tenían "un solo corazón y una sola alma", y de otro lado el resucitado

nos regala el verdadero auspicio pascual: "La paz esté con ustedes". Jesús es la paz: pone paz entre el cielo y la tierra; concede la paz del corazón. Les dice: "Les dejo la paz, mi paz les doy" (Jn 14,27), como recitamos en el rito de la comunión. Jesús glorificado y vivo nos comunica la paz; pero Tomás, como nos presenta el evangelio, escéptico dirá: "Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos y no meto mi dedo en el agujero de los clavos y no meto mi mano en su costado, no creeré". Sin embargo, Jesús acepta el desafío de Tomás. A los ocho días regresará Jesús, nuevamente con las puertas cerradas, y dirigiéndose a Tomás lo invita a tocar sus heridas con las manos. Añade: "No seas incrédulo sino creyente". Tomás ya no tiene necesidad de tocar las heridas de Jesús. Le bastan aquellas palabras, para proclamar la famosa profesión de fe: "Señor mío y Dios mío". Ojala en este domingo de resurrección y de la misericordia tú y Yo arrodillados delante del resucitado seamos capaz de exclamar: "Señor mío y Dios mío" y gozar vida nueva en el resucitado, Aleluya!!!

APRIL 8, 2018 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER

Seconda Domenica di Pasqua —«Abbiamo visto il Signore!» In assenza di Tommaso, il Risorto è apparso ai discepoli, ha mostrato loro i segni della sua passione, ha comunicato loro la pace messianica e, in una Pentecoste anticipata, lo Spirito che, attraverso le loro mani porterà a compimento l’opera della salvezza. Ma Tommaso, un uomo tutto d’un pezzo non ha paura di non essere edificante, si impenna: «Se non vedo, non crederò!» L’apostolo Tommaso è un tipo onesto e franco. Dal vangelo traspare, a

tratti, il suo carattere: non sarà facile portarlo a credere, ad accettare il rischio della fede. Lo sentiamo molto vicino a noi, col suo bisogno di cose reali e tangibili, con la sua diffidenza per l’ideologia staccata dal quotidiano. Perché ciò che sorprende, è che si possa credere (G. Crespy). Il Signore capisce tutto questo, al punto che otto giorni dopo prende in parola Tommaso e va incontro alle sue esigenze: «Metti la mano nel mio costato, e credi…» Quanto a noi, credenti del ventesimo secolo, rimarremmo tranquillamente nell’orbita liturgica della Pasqua, accontentandoci di ripetere: «Beato quelli che pur non avendo visto, crederanno»? L’esperienza di Tommaso deve diventare la nostra: dobbiamo aspirare a vedere la potenza della risurrezione manifestarsi nella nostra vita personale e collettiva; dobbiamo volere che la forza del Signore guarisca le ferite dei nostri fratelli, risvegli gli oppressi, strappi alla morte uomini e donne ancora sprofondate nel peccato. Dobbiamo dare il nostro contributo. Perché ciò che è sorprendente nella fede, è che si possa credere all’impossibile e fare di tutto perché si realizzi. Allora, ma allora soltanto, Gesù può diventare per ciascuno di noi «mio Signore e mio Dio». Segni di solidarietà — I cristiani di Gerusalemme organizzano il loro stile di vita in modo analogo di quello di alcune sette e comunità monastiche dell’ebraismo di allora. Ma non intendono fondare un sistema valido per tutti i tempi e ovunque; non cercano di creare un’utopia economica e sociale. Ci tengono soltanto a dare dei segni di concordia e di solidarietà, e questo non è caratteristica del monachesimo o del comunismo: è la caratteristica del cristianesimo, in quanto tale. Il mondo di oggi attende dai cristiani i segni di tale solidarietà, e questo passa necessariamente attraverso una vita in cui si mette in comune ciò che si è e ciò che si ha.
