April 12th, 2015 Second Sunday of Easter
Our first reading today paints an idealized picture of life in this early Jerusalem church. In the Acts of the Apostles, Luke shows us what life can be like among a community of believers open to the Holy Spirit. The example of the early church serves as lesson for us. Luke stresses two things in his description of the community: they “bore witness to the resurrection” (v 33), and they looked out for each other – “there was no needy person among them” (v 34). Our text calls us to be “of one heart and mind” (v 32) as we strive to live out our faith. The reading from First John reinforces this message as it calls us to live our love for God by keeping “his command-ments,” which “are not burdensome” (v 3). Our author re-minds us that our faith in Jesus Christ is evidence that we are “begotten by God” (v 1). And with God’s help we are able to conquer the world (v 4) and live as light in the midst of dark-ness. The battle between good and evil is not finished, but the outcome has been guaranteed. John’s Gospel is originally thought to have ended with chapter 20. Its last two verses read like a conclusion. Our author tells us that “Jesus did many other signs in the pres-ence of his disciples that are not written in this book” (v 30). Looking at the other canonical Gospels, we find many other signs or miracles. In fact, in John 21 we have another collec-tion of stories about Jesus, probably added to the text by a later editor. Our original evangelist tells us that the purpose of his text is to provide material to either inspire or reinforce faith so “that through this belief you may have life in his name” (v 31). This dynamic of revelation leading to faith leading to salvation is found throughout John’s text. For Reflection: How do I bear witness to the resurrec-tion? What gospel stories in particular inspire my faith? [Copyright © 2015 by Bruce Janiga. Published by Resource Publications, Inc. All

Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New York
Raising a Voice for the Vulnerable Among Us in Albany
The New York State Conference headed by Cardinal Dolan works on behalf of fair and just public policies that reflect our Catholic values. As part of this effort, recently, about 75 Catholic Charities leaders throughout New York State
when to Albany to advocate continued and enhanced com-mitment to vulnerable New Yorkers in need of assistance to
live their lives in dignity. Safe, affordable places to live, nutritious food, protection and nurturing of children and support for those with disabilities, were key issues to the
day’s agenda. These reflect our Catholic values of dignity and compassion especially for the poorest and most vulner-
able of our neighbors.
