McKenna, SJ, and with the encouragement of Cardinal
Hickey. The McKenna Center serves homeless men and
provides shelter, training, drug and alcohol counseling,
emergency food, rental, and utility assistance, and most
importantly, a place where men can regain their self

SEXTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
01 DE MAYO DE 2016
“ La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy”
Dios sale a nuestro encuentro con un amor más fuerte que
el pecado y la muerte. Cristo es la revelación del amor del
Padre que se hizo hombre y salió al encuentro de los
enfermos de alma y de cuerpo y murió en la Cruz y
resucitó. Por amor sigue saliendo a nuestro encuentro y
nos ofrece el sacramento del Bautismo. ¡Amor con amor
se paga! Hagamos de nuestra vida de bautizados una
respuesta de amor. La señal de que amamos a Dios y
gozamos de su amistad, es el amor sincero entre hermanos
porque somos hijos de Dios. Si el amor que Dios nos tiene
se manifiesta en Jesucristo que nos perdona el pecado y
nos hace portadores del gozo de su intimidad, nosotros
tenemos que reflejar ese mismo amor en la entrega
caritativa. El mundo que nos rodea tiene crisis de amor,
por eso está como triste, como crispado. Necesitamos una
verdadera conversión: dejar la cultura del pecado y de la
muerte, recuperar la gracia, vivir como hijos de Dios, ser
portadores del verdadero amor, fuente de paz y alegría.
