Spiritual Notes:Paul and Barnabas did a considerable amount of traveling; Luke narrates the growth of the church in the various communities where they preached the gospel. In today’s reading from Acts, Luke narrates the travels of Paul and Barnabas to various cities and towns as the final part of their first mission. Meeting a positive reception in many locations, “they strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith.” In order to support the churches in their absence, “they appointed elders for them in each church.” A strong church needs good leaders. In Revelation, John tells us that he “saw a new heaven and a new earth.” God’s promise is not only to defeat the powers of evil and death but also to recreate all things. In the Bible, the sea represents chaos and destruction; since death, mourning, wailing, and pain are “no more,” their threat to the people has ceased. The “new Jerusalem,” God’s dwelling among people, will be the home for the elect. This renewal leads even to the end of death, the ultimate power opposed to God and creation, for God promises to “make all things new.” Today’s Gospel takes place at the Last Supper, immediately after Judas leaves to put his plan of betrayal into effect. Jesus’ hour has arrived, and so has the time of his glory, for he came into the world in order to suffer, die, and rise from the dead. Before he is separated from the disciples, he gives them, “a new commandment”: They are to follow his example of love. His love for us, manifest in his self-offering on the cross, is meant to show us how we are to live.

For Reflection: How does the promise of the defeat of death affect the way I approach my own mortality and the mortality of those I love? How have I recently experienced Christ’s love for me? How does it affect my own behavior?

The Jubilee Year of MercyDecember 8, 2015-November 20, 2016

“It is a favorable time to heal wounds, a time to offer everyone the way of Forgiveness and Reconciliation.”

– Pope Francis

Holy Year of Mercy: First Beatitude – “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Mt. 5:3) The “poor in spirit” are those who truly embrace God as the most important person in their lives. They also realize that people are of the next importance. Jesus

declares that this is so (Mk. 12:28-31). Many people are strongly attached to the

possession of worldly goods: pursuit of careers, seeking financial wealth, seeking social prominence, obtaining political power, a craving for sexual experiences, addiction to sports, etc. These worldly goods become, in essence, their gods. In the end they leave people spiritually bankrupt. Jesus warns us, “What profit would a man show if he were to gain the whole world and destroy himself in the process?” (Mt. 16:26) While the poor in spirit recognize the need for material goods to support their bodily existence, they are detached from the drive to possess them as a “be all and end all.” They no longer have a taste for deceptive riches or praises of the world. The poor in spirit have realized that self-giving love is the richest form of living. The human person who best exemplifies the “poor in spirit” is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the lowly handmaid of the Lord.

Mercy grows within us as we reflect on how God has been merciful to us.

Notas Espirituales:Pablo y Bernabé reunieron una cantidad considerable para viajar, Lucas narra el crecimiento de la iglesia en las distintas comunidades en las que predicaron el evangelio. En la lectura de hoy de los Hechos, Lucas narra los viajes de Pablo y Bernabé a varias ciudades y pueblos como la parte final de su primera misión. Encuentra una recepción positiva en muchos lugares ,” que fortalecieron los ánimos de los discípulos y los exhortaron a perseverar en la fe.” Con el fin de apoyar a las iglesias en su ausencia ,” nombraron ancianos en cada iglesia.” Una iglesia fuerte requiere buenos líderes. En Apocalipsis, Juan nos dice que él “Vio un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva.” La promesa de Dios no es sólo para derrotar las fuerzas del mal y de la muerte, sino también para recrear todas las cosas. En la Biblia, el mar representa el caos y la destrucción, ya que la muerte, el luto, llanto y el dolor ya “no más” es la amenaza para el pueblo, ha terminado. La “nueva Jerusalén,” la morada de Dios entre los hombres, será el hogar para los elegidos. Esta renovación nos lleva hasta el fin de la muerte, el último poder se opuso a Dios y a la creación, para la promesa de Dios a “hacer nuevas todas las cosas.” El evangelio de hoy tiene lugar en la Última Cena, inmediatamente después de Judas deja de poner su plan de traición a la práctica. La Hora de Jesús ha llegado, al igual que el tiempo de su gloria, porque él vino al mundo para sufrir, morir y resucitar de entre los muertos. Antes de que se separara de los discípulos, les da “un nuevo mandamiento”: Se trata de seguir su ejemplo de amor. Su amor por nosotros, que se manifiesta en el mismo y se ofrece en la cruz, es para enseñarnos cómo hemos de vivir.

Para la reflexión: ¿De qué manera la promesa de la derrota de la muerte afecta a la forma en que me acerco a mi propia mortalidad y la mortalidad de las personas que amo? ¿Cómo he recientemente experimentado el amor de Cristo por mí? ¿Cómo afecta a mi propia conducta?
