The Liturgy of the Day
Brothers and sisters, as we move
toward the end of the Easter season,
our liturgies begin to turn from
reflection on Jesus’ resurrection to our
mission as baptized followers of Christ.
This Sunday is the pivot for that move.
The message of today’s celebration
could not be clearer. The word “love”
appears in the second reading and
Gospel today eighteen times, especially
appropriate on this Mother’s Day. As
we continue our celebration today, let
us be mindful of God’s great love for
us, and also of the love that we must
show to those around us.
a la Liturgia del Día
Hermanos y hermanas: a medida que nos
vamos acercando al final del tiempo de
Pascua la reflexión en nuestras liturgias
comienza a moverse desde la resurrección
de Jesús hacia la misión nuestra, como
bautizados y como discípulos de Cristo.
Este domingo es el pivote o eje de ese
movimiento. El mensaje de la celebración
de hoy no podría ser más claro. Entre la segunda lectura y el Evangelio de hoy la
palabra “amor” aparece dieciocho veces,
lo cual es muy apropiado en este Día de
las Madres. Al continuar nuestra
celebración de hoy estemos conscientes
del gran amor de Dios por nosotros, así
como del amor que debemos mostrar a los

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• Los Hechos nos
preparan para
Pentecostés al
describirnos al Espíritu
Santo como el “Espíritu
sorprendente”. En la conversión del pagano
Cornelio un Pedro sorprendido comienza a
entender que “Dios no hace distinción de
personas”. El Espíritu acepta a creyentes más allá
de las fronteras de Israel y su obra se extiende más
allá de la jerarquía y de la liturgia de la comunidad.
“Todavía estaba hablando Pedro” (antes de que
Pedro hablara del Bautismo), “cuando el Espíritu
descendió sobre todos los que estaban escuchando
el mensaje”. El papa Francisco ha dicho que
alguien que carece de una educación formal, pero
está lleno del Espíritu Santo, “sabe” más teología
que los obispos con varios títulos académicos.
• La primera carta de Juan ve a este Espíritu
sorprendente, que llena al mundo entero con el
amor de Dios, no con los vientos y el fuego de
Pentecostés ni con el “don de lenguas”, que recibió
la familia de Cornelio, sino mediante actos
sencillos y a menudo escondidos, de amor de los
unos por los otros.
• Jesús, el Maestro de la comunidad, que ahora es
el Señor resucitado y glorioso, corona la Liturgia
de la Palabra de hoy con el don definitivo del
Espíritu sorprendente y nos declara discípulos, no
por llevar con nosotros un carnet de membresía en
una organización mundial y obligados a obedecer
reglas impersonales, ni tampoco como siervos y
esclavos del reino universal de Dios; sino que nos
dice, “Ustedes son mis amigos”. ¡Amigos de Jesús!
La intimidad sagrada que esa palabra única denota
es autentificada cuando nuestro amor refleja el de
Jesús, que nos da este mandamiento: “que se amen
los unos a los otros como yo los he amado. Nadie
tiene amor más grande a sus amigos que el de dar
la vida por ellos”. Ese amor entregado, modelado
según el amor de Jesús, nos garantiza la alegría que
el mundo no puede darnos, que el dinero no puede
comprarnos y que ningún tipo o cantidad de
sufrimiento puede destruirnos.
Pregunta de la Semana
Agraciados con la amistad inmerecida y no ganada
de Jesús, ¿a quién y cómo debo ofrecer mi amistad
esta semana?
