SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
(Readings: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17 — 1 Peter 3:15-18 — John 14:15-21)
Cf. 1 John 4:18-19 — Our Gospel text begins with, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments;” and ends with, “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. Whoever
loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” We are accustomed to the comforting message of God’s unconditional love. But here it seems Jesus is placing a condition on his
love, namely, the keeping of his commandments. This might trouble us, especially when we are particularly conscious of our sinfulness. Could we ever be completely cut off from God’s love?
The answer, of course, is an emphatic No. But a similar concern arises when people first hear the message of La Salette. After calling the children to her, Our Lady said: “If my people refuse to submit, I shall be forced to let go the arm of my Son. It is so strong and so heavy, I can no longer hold it back.” What to
make of this? It is unthinkable that Mary is trying to prevent an angry Jesus from inflicting punishment on us. He is the Savior; he took our guilt and punishment on himself. Many attempts have been made to
explain away the obvious meaning of Our Lady’s words. Early accounts of the Apparition sometimes have “hand” instead of “arm,’ and “hold up” instead of “hold back,” but that seems to make little difference.
Isaiah 5:25 has this: “Therefore the wrath of the Lord blazes against his people, he stretches out his hand to strike them... For all this, his wrath is not turned back, his hand is still outstretched.” Like the prophet, the Beautiful Lady uses an image familiar to her “audience.” Unfortunately that was a time and a world when harsh physical discipline and domestic violence were common. Had she appeared in our time and world,
no doubt she would have used a different image. It would be interesting to speculate what that image might be. It would have to be striking enough to get our attention and strong enough to convince today’s
“audience” of the urgency of turning back to God. Once that goal is achieved, there is no fear. “Perfect love casts out fear,” leaving “great joy.”
“Let Your Light Shine”
Philip understood very well Jesus’ words: “If you love me,
you will keep my commandments.” We learn of Philip’s de-
vo on to prayer, evangelizing and healing in the region of
Samaria; made up of communi es that would not be very
recep ve to the followers of Jesus. Philip is a model steward,
living his discipleship day by day in the Lord without being
obstructed by feelings of what cost his ac ons might entail.
Good stewards summon the courage to proclaim the Lord
and to serve Him by ministering to others. As an Easter peo-
ple, eager to rejoice in the Lord, it is important to reflect on
how we are living out our own commitment to discipleship.

The Missionaries of Our Lady of La
Sale e Annual Parish Mission Appeal
Weekend of May 27th-28th
Having brought the fullness of Life to
our world when He rose from the
dead, Jesus sent his disciples to share
this life with all of crea on. "They
went forth and preached everywhere" (Mk 16:20).
The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Sale e minister to
people of every race, language, culture and way of Life
- beginning at the La Sale e Shrine in France where
our Blessed Mother appeared in 1846. Her final words,
"Well, my children, you will make this known to all my
people,” echo Jesus' Gospel mandate. It is li le
wonder that the La Sale e Congrega on has always
been mission orientated. When called upon by the
Va can to preach the Gospel in foreign lands, they
eagerly responded. This spirit brought them to mission
in 27 countries, especially among the poor in Angola,
Argen na, Bolivia, Brazil, Hai , India, Madagascar,
Myanmar and the Philippines. With your coopera on,
the Missionaries of La Sale e can con nue to provide
spiritual and financial assistance to these mission
countries as they bring God's reconciling message to
the poor.

Reflexión….
Exposición del Santísimo Todos los primeros viernes del mes tendremos exposición al Santísimo. Empezando después de la misa de las 8:30 de la mañana y terminando a las 9:00 de la noche con el grupo de oración. También todos los lunes hay adoración desde las 9am a las 3pm. En la capilla en el Centro de Bienvenida. ¡Invitamos a todos a que nos acompañen a vivir momentos de oración y recogimiento!
Véase 1 Juan 4:18-19 (Sexto Domingo de Pascua: Hechos 8:5-17; 1 Pedro 3:15-18; Juan 14:15-21) El texto de nuestro Evangelio comienza con, “Si me aman, guardaran mis mandamientos” y termina con. “El que acepta mis mandamientos y los guarda, ése me ama; al que me ama lo amará mi Padre, y yo también lo amaré y me revelaré a él.” Nos hemos acostumbrado al mensaje reconfortante del amor incondi-cional de Dios. Pero aquí parece que Jesús está colocando una condición a su amor, y es el guardar sus mandamientos. Esto podría ponernos en conflicto cuando estamos par cularmente consientes de nuestra pe-caminosidad. ¿Podríamos alguna vez llegar e estar completamente sep-arados del amor de Dios? La respuesta es por supuesto un enfá co NO.
Pero una inquietud parecida surge cuando la gente escucha por primera vez el mensaje de La Sale e. Después de llamar a los niños hacia ella, Nuestra Señora dijo: “Si mi pueblo no quiere someterse, me veré obligada a dejar caer el brazo de mi Hijo. Es tan fuerte y tan pesado que no puedo sostenerlo mas” ¿Qué hacer con esto? Es impensable que María esté tratando de impedir que un Jesús enojado vaya a in-fligirnos un cas go. El es el Salvador; el puso nuestras culpas y cas gos sobre si mismo. Muchos intentos se han hecho para dar una explicación mas allá del significado obvio de las palabras de Nuestra Señora. Relatos tempranos de la Aparición a veces enen la palabra “mano” en lugar de “brazo” y “sostener” en lugar de “retener”, pero eso parece ser una diferencia menor. Isaias 5:25 dice esto: "Por eso se ha encendido la ira de Yahveh contra su pueblo, extendió su mano sobre él y lo golpeó... Con todo eso, no se ha calmado su ira, y aún sigue extendida su mano" Como el profeta, la Bella Señora usa una imagen familiar para su “audiencia”. Desafortunadamente aquel era en un empo y un mundo en el que la disciplina sica severa y la violencia domés ca eran comunes. Habiéndose aparecido en nuestros empos y en un mundo como el nuestro, sin duda hubiera usado una imagen diferente. Seria interesante especular sobre cual podría ser esa imagen. Tendría que ser lo bastante impactante como para poder atraer nuestra atención y lo bastante fuerte como para convencer a la “audiencia” de nuestros días sobre la urgencia de volvernos hacia Dios. Una vez alcanzada la meta. No hay miedo. “El amor perfecto aleja el miedo” dejando “gran alegría”.
