This week-end’s scriptures tell us that prayer is the source of Christian
strength. The two disciples on their way from Jerusalem to Emmaus
gave up on Christ because of the cross. They were walking away from
the community of apostles and Christ's followers - leaving the Church.
It was not because they were big sinners. It was just that the Cross, the
tragedy of Good Friday, had scared them away. They said to the
stranger as they walk back to their old lifestyles, sad and disappointed:
We were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. They simply
can not understand how salvation can come out of the Cross, victory out
of defeat. So they give up. But Jesus comes to their rescue. He walks
along with them, talking to them about the Scriptures, the promises and
revelations found in God's Word. And their hearts burn within them.
Their hope is stirred into flame. Their spiritual strength and their faith
return. Suddenly they are able to recognize Christ's saving power and
love even in the darkness of the shadow of the Cross.
Las escrituras de esta semana de fin nos dicen que la oración es la fuente de
fortaleza cristiana. Los dos discípulos en el camino de Jerusalén a Emaús
renunciaron a Cristo a causa de la cruz. Ellos se alejaban de la comunidad
de los apóstoles y discípulos de Cristo - de salir de la Iglesia. No fue porque
eran grandes pecadores. Era sólo que la Cruz , la tragedia del Viernes Santo,
los había ahuyentado . Dijeron que para el extranjero , ya que caminar de
vuelta a sus viejos estilos de vida, tristes y decepcionados : Nosotros esperábamos que él fuera el futuro liberador de Israel. Ellos simplemente no pueden entender cómo la salvación se puede salir de la Cruz , la victoria de la
derrota. Así se dan por vencidos . Pero Jesús viene a su rescate. Él camina
con ellos, hablar con ellos acerca de las Escrituras, las promesas y revelaciones que se encuentran en la Palabra de Dios. Y sus corazones arden dentro
de ellos. Su esperanza se agita en llamas. Su fuerza espiritual y su regreso
fe. De pronto son capaces de reconocer el poder salvador de Cristo y amar
incluso en la oscuridad de la sombra de la Cruz.
We too face the temptation of fear and discouragement when crosses
come into our lives. In fact, we all know Catholics who have left the
Church, just as these two disciples were leaving Jerusalem, because the
Cross crushed their hope, and they became cynical and angry. What
will prevent us from abandoning our Lord and our hope when we feel
the weight of the Cross? The same thing that rescued these two sad
disciples: conversation with Christ - prayer. Prayer is the source of light
and strength for the Christian. When we take time to unburden our
minds to the Lord, and to read and reflect on the
Scriptures, maybe with the help of spiritual books,
we give Jesus a chance to explain things to our
hearts.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Roger Estorque
Nosotros también enfrentamos la tentación del miedo y el desánimo cuando
cruces llegan a nuestras vidas . De hecho , todos sabemos que los católicos
que han abandonado la Iglesia , al igual que estos dos discípulos abandonaban Jerusalén, porque la Cruz aplastó su esperanza, y se convirtieron en
cínico y enojado. ¿Qué nos impide abandonar nuestro Señor y nuestra esperanza cuando sentimos el peso de la cruz ? Lo mismo que rescató a estos dos
discípulos tristes : coloquio con Cristo - la oración. La oración es la fuente
de la luz y la fuerza para el cristiano. Cuando nos
tomamos el tiempo para desahogar nuestra mente al
Señor , y para leer y reflexionar sobre las Escrituras ,
tal vez con la ayuda de los libros espirituales , le
damos a Jesús la oportunidad de explicar las cosas
a nuestros corazones.
Sinceramente suyo en Cristo,
Rev. Roger Estorque

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
MAY 4, 2014
RECOGNIZING JESUS
S
t. Peter speaks to us twice today. In the first
reading, we hear an excerpt from his sermon on
Pentecost; in the second, part of his first Letter.
Once a frightened, uneducated fisherman who often
said just the wrong thing, now Peter is speaking
what he knows to be true. Everything Jesus had said
now makes sense. His death and rising were all part
of God’s plan, and our faith and hope can
be centered on God.
Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ walk to
Emmaus with two of the disciples. Frightened, sad,
and confused, the two don’t recognize Jesus, who
tells them what we heard Peter say above: all this
had to happen as part of God’s plan. In the end,
these disciples recognize Jesus as we are to recognize him—in the breaking of the bread.
RECONOZCAN A JESÚS
S
an Pedro nos habla dos veces hoy. En la primera lectura, escuchamos una parte de su sermón el día de
Pentecostés; en la segunda, parte de su primera carta.
Antes, un pescador asustado y sin mucha educación que
a menudo decía lo que no debía, ahora dice lo que él sabe
es la verdad. Todo lo que Jesús había dicho ahora tiene
sentido. Su muerte y resurrección eran parte del plan de
Dios y nuestra fe y esperanza se pueden centrar en Dios.
El Evangelio de hoy nos relata la historia de la caminata
de Jesús hacia Emaús con dos de los discípulos. Asustados, tristes y confusos, ninguno de los dos reconoció a
Jesús, quien les dice lo mismo que escuchamos de Pedro
en la lectura anterior: todo eso sucedió como parte del
plan de Dios. Al final, los discípulos reconocieron a
Jesús por la misma acción que nosotros debemos
reconocerlo— al partir el Pan.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
“Mystagogy,” reflection on the Easter mysteries, is
the chief task of these great fifty days, a “Pentecost,”
in other words, of grace and renewal. Every Sunday we
have accounts of Resurrection appearances of the Lord,
and sketches of the earliest efforts at being church.
Lent is described as a journey to the font, and Easter may
be described in similar terms, since at the very beginning
an angel tells the apostles that the Risen Lord “has gone
before you into Galilee.” Galilee, of course, was the
place where Jesus did his finest work, his preaching, his
healing, his gathering the lost and the marginalized to
the table. At Easter, we hurry to catch up, putting our
renewed baptismal promises to work in our own personal
Galilees, our little worlds waiting for a word of grace,
a healing, an act of pardon, an invitation to share a meal.
The water often splashed on our Sunday assemblies in
Eastertide remind us: these are the golden, shining days
of grace, days to nurture the heart, to speak to one
another about things that really matter.
El 3 de mayo en el sur de Ilocos, Filipinas, se celebra la
fiesta del Cristo milagroso o Apo Lacay como lo llaman
los filipinos. Esta imagen fue encontrada dentro de una
caja que flotaba en el mar, junto con la Virgen Milagrosa. Fueron unos pescadores quienes hicieron el hallazgo.
Los pescadores eran de los pueblos de Badoc y Sinait y
decidieron llevarse el Cristo a Badoc, pero no lograron
moverlo. Una vez que decidieron llevarse al Cristo a Sinait, la imagen se hizo muy ligera de peso, por lo cual se
piensa que Cristo deseaba estar en Sinait.
Este Cristo negro recuerda a los Cristos milagrosos
de Latinoamérica, como el Santo Cristo de Esquipulas
(Guatemala), los Cristos de Tila, Chalma y Otaltitlán
(México), el Señor de los Milagros (Perú) y otros.
Probablemente se trata de una evangelización española
ya que en 1595, el rey Felipe II mandó varios Cristos
negros a los cristianos indígenas de América. En todo
caso, estos Cristos han resultado milagrosos gracias a
la fe del pueblo, porque como dice Jesús: nuestra fe es
la que nos salva (Marcos 5:34; 10:46-52).
