Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Con frecuencia nos sorprendemos por las cosas que nuestros seres queridos nos regalan o hacen por nosotros. Nos asombra lo inventivo que puede ser el amor. --- Miremos a Dios, origen de todo amor; él determinó que su propio Hijo se hiciera uno de nosotros. --- ¡Jesús nos deja asombrados por su amor a los pecadores, a los inadaptados en la vida, a los que sufren! Entrega su vida por nosotros. Y es precisamente ese amor, inventivo y creador, el que constituye el núcleo de nuestra fe y de nuestra vida. Si tuviéramos aunque solo fuera un poquito de esa clase de amor, podríamos renovarnos totalmente a nosotros mismos y al mundo que nos rodea. --- Es este amor inventivo y renovador el que Jesús viene a compartir con nosotros en esta eucaristía.
La pascua es un tiempo privilegiado para que revivamos todo el acontecimiento de cómo nace el cristianismo, como se gesta esa experiencia tan maravillosa que los discípulos y Pablo hicieron, anunciar a toda la gene la buena nueva y especialmente predicando que Jesús murió por amor a nosotros a todos.
En esta tarea se desata un gran problema por un lado ellos predicando y siguiendo los pasos de Jesús y por otro los que no creyeron en Jesús como Hijo de Dios comienzan a perseguir a estos nuevos misioneros cristianos. Pablo y Bernabé regresan a la ciudad de Antioquía para dar cuenta de la misión que aquella iglesia les había encomendado. Vuelven por el mismo camino, con el fin de consolar a los hermanos de las comunidades que han fundado y de consolidar la obra que habían realizado de ida. Mientras tanto, los gentiles que se habían convertido al evangelio habían sido objeto de las primeras persecuciones, sobre todo por parte de judíos y judaizantes. Como
había dicho Jesús, la puerta de acceso al Reino de Dios es muy estrecha y los que abrazan el evangelio pasan por muchas dificultades. Hoy día muchos cristianos son perseguidos en el mundo solo por llevar el nombre de cristianos. Pablo y Bernabé
designan presbíteros que cuiden en adelante de las nuevas iglesias o comunidades. Para ello hacen uso de su autoridad como apóstoles y fundadores, pero probablemente no elegirían a nadie sin tener en cuenta la opinión de los fieles. El título de presbítero no tiene su origen en el culto, a diferencia de la palabra "sacerdote" que no se conoce en el Nuevo Testamento. Para designar ningún ministerio dentro de la iglesia. Aquellos primeros cristianos no tenían conciencia de pertenecer a una nueva religión: no tenían templos, ni altares, ni sacerdotes. Lo que les mueve es la fe y el seguimiento de Jesucristo. Dejemos que el amor nuestro sea inventivo, que hagamos cosas nuevas basados en el amor al projimo, a la Iglesia, a Dios y a nosotros mismos.
Reflexionemos esto: Perseverar en la fe nos anima a revisar siempre los caminos de nuestro vivir, pensar y actuar.
-Vivir como Cristo no solamente comporta imitar sus gestos: es llevar a cabo en el mundo su misma vida con nuestra propia vida.
-Pensar como Cristo no implica el defender a toda costa su pensamiento sino, entre otras cosas, condicionar todo lo que tocamos y regimos con la máxima del Evangelio.
-Actuar como Cristo no solamente es una postura, sino, entre otras cosas, nos lleva a ser impopulares y tenaces por defender otro modelo de vida que el que llevamos. Amémonos Hermanos, porque Dios no ha amado y nos amara.

May is traditionally dedicated in a special way to honoring and seeking the intercession of Mary as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church.
“She is that woman who rejoiced in the presence of God, who treasured everything in her heart, and who let herself be pierced by the sword. Mary is the saint among the saints, blessed above all others. She teaches us the way of holiness and she walks ever at our side. She does not let us remain fallen and at times she takes us into her arms without judging us.” —Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate, no. 176
HONOR MARY
MOTHER OF GOD

My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it. Luke 8:21
