\
Last year the Sisters of Mercy lost the residential use of their Brooklyn Motherhouse due to
structural decay. The community that lived there was dispersed to other Mercy run facilities in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Long Island.
On May 18th an Evening of Mercy will raise funds to renovate a building in Queens that will
serve as a new home for approximately 30 Sisters. We invite you to help support this project
by taking raffles. For more information, please call Ms. Grace Finley at 718-633-5840

Riflessione del mese di aprile
PREGHIERA DEL CORISTA
O Padre, Creatore dell'universo,
Tu hai posto in ogni cosa il segno del tuo infinito amore
e hai donato alle creature l'impronta della tua bellezza.
Rendimi autentico cantore del tuo amore, fa' che con il
mio canto sappia esprimere un poco di quell'armonia
sublime
che Tu hai posto in tutte le cose e che muove il cielo e la
terra in quell'accordo mirabile che tutto abbraccia.
Fa' che il mio canto sia sempre a servizio della tua lode,
che non mi vanti mai di questo dono,
che offra il mio servizio alla Chiesa senza alcuna vanità
e superbia, sapendo di assolvere un dovere d'amore
verso Dio e i fratelli.
Metti nel mio cuore il canto nuovo
che sgorga dal cuore del Risorto,
e fa' che, animato dal tuo Santo Spirito,
possa lodarti e farti lodare per la tua unica gloria,
vivendo nel servizio liturgico l'anticipo della liturgia
celeste.
Te lo chiedo per Cristo Salvatore nostro,
causa e modello del nostro canto.

Es asi como en el pasaje del Evangelio Jesús se les
aparece a los Apóstoles de Nuevo y va con una
pregunta particular a Simon Pedro , pero que hay mas
alla de esa pregunta o cual era el objetivo de Jesús al
sondear en Pedro cuanto lo amaba? Jesús conoce el
fondo de lo que hay en nuestros corazones, asi mismo
conocía lo que Pedro sentía por Él , mas aun esto era
para darle una preparación o digamoslo bien , era una
antelación a los que seria su misión en la tierra, convertirse en el Primer Papa , que es la cabeza de Nuestra
Iglesia y seria el Pastor de ese rebaño de ovejas. El
amor puede sanar dudas y faltas que hayas cometido ,
prueba de ello esta en este pasaje con Pedro , tras negar a Cristo tres veces , su verdadero amor y arrepentimiento lo llevaron a Ser un Fiel discipulo y convertirse
en Cabeza de Nuestra Iglesia. Pidamos a Jesús hoy dia ,
para que incentive en nosotros el amor total y fiel , la
entrega desmedida a quienes buscan de Dios y sobretodo a ayudar a los mas necesitados y ser asi verdaderos proclamadores de la Resurrección por el mundo
que significa traer la Luz y vida a quienes estan en la
Oscuridad del Pecado.

Hoy iniciamos con una pregunta muy particular
que hace Jesús en el Evangelio : “ Simon , Me
amas mas que estos?
Esa es la pregunta con que Jesús nos invita a que
reflexionemos el dia de hoy.
Tanto en la primera como en la segunda lectura ,
se muestra como el amor de aquellos que Creyeron la promesa de la Resurrección se hizo viva ;
Los Apóstoles en su misión evangelica , tras la
resurrección , fueron perseguidos , pero tambien , el Espiritu Santo, impulsó, motivados por el
amor hacia el Padre y el hijo , a soportar las mas
duras pruebas durante su misión.
