CHRISTIAN FAMILIES OF BETHLEHEM

Saturday, April 17 & Sunday, April 18

Christian Families will have religious artwork available to purchase, including crucifixes, rosaries and unique gift items… all made of olive wood which is native to Israel and Bethle-

hem. Since tourism has greatly depleted, Christian families in the Holy Land, who depend on tourists, have been greatly affected. Sale of these goods will help them very much and also give you the opportunity to

have “something” authentic from the Holy Land.

Please browse and buy some articles.

It is for a good cause and also a help to your personal devotion.

LA ORACION CRISTIANA

El catecismo de la iglesia católica dedica la cuarta parte para hablar acerca de la oración, un tema tan hermoso, tan profundo e inagotable, ya que es la única forma con la que nosotros creaturas mantenemos comunicación con nuestro creador.

Que nos dice el catecismo sobre la oración?... Que es la oración? Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús dice

«Para mí, la oración es un impulso del corazón, una sencilla mirada lanzada hacia el cielo, un grito de reconocimiento y de amor tanto desde dentro de la prueba como en la alegría … Para ti que es la oración?

”Abraham es un modelo de oración porque camina en la presencia de Dios, le escucha y obedece. Su oración es un combate de la fe porque, aún en los momentos de prueba, él continúa creyendo que Dios es fiel. Aún más, después de reci- bir en su propia tienda la visita del Señor que le confía sus designios, Abraham se atreve a interceder con audaz confianza por los pecadores…. Continuara…

COMPARTIENDO EL EVANGELIO Lucas 24,35-48

Queridos hermanos, continuamos leyendo las apariciones de Jesús y este domingo lo sentimos tan humano, tan cercano, tan familiar, ante la mirada atónita de los discípulos, les pide de comer, para que estos vean que no es un fantasma, que el mismo crucificado es el mismo resucitado que está con ellos. Nuevamente les desea la paz, un don maravilloso de Jesús resucitado, paz, que tanto necesitamos hoy, porque si tu eres consciente de la situación del mundo, la ausencia de paz se deja sentir, porque nosotros los humanos no la queremos recibir y alejados de Dios, la guerra hace presa de nuestras vidas, de nuestras familias, de nuestro mundo. Como oraba San Francisco necesitamos decirle al Señor: “Hazme un instrumento de tu paz”.

Siguiendo con la enseñanza del evangelio, la presencia de Jesús disipa en los discípulos todo miedo, todo temor, El resuci- tado ha vencido la muerte, El mismo se los recordará a los apóstoles que dudaban si era realmente Jesús: “Así estaba es- crito: el Mesías padecerá, resucitará de entre los muertos al tercer día, y en su nombre se predicará la conversión y el per- dón de los pecados a todos los pueblos, comenzando por Jerusalén. Vosotros sois testigos de esto.»

Crees realmente que Jesús resucitó y vive entre nosotros? Seamos testigos con nuestra vida de un Dios vivo, que nos compromete, que nos llama a construir un mundo donde reine el amor, la paz, la reconciliación, la verdad, la justicia. Que ese sea nuestro empeño diario.

Dios te bendiga.

Evangelho do Dia 18 de Abril.(Lc 24,35-48)

O que nos quer dizer o Evangelho deste terceiro domingo da Páscoa?

Diz o texto que os discípulos dei- xam transparecer que estavam assustados, com medo, preocupados, duvidosos e pensam estar vendo um fantasma. Diante disso, Jesus mostra as mãos e os pés e pede que

seja tocado. São marcas não somente da sexta-feira santa, mas também dos momentos em que abençoou crianças, tocou em cegos,

leprosos e paralíticos, de quan- do foi buscar a ovelha perdida, das subidas até altas montanhas para anunciar o Reino. Isso mostra que o

ressuscitado não é fruto da fantasia de alguns, não é a reanimação de um cadáver, uma volta à vida biológica anterior. Foi assim com a filha de Jairo, com o filho da viúva de Naim, com o amigo Lázaro.

Estes, mais cedo ou mais tarde morreram de novo. Com Jesus isso não acontece. Ele não morre mais, vive para sempre.Na celebração eucarística, ao anúncio do Evangelho se diz “O Senhor esteja convosco” e a assembleia responde “Ele está no meio de nós”. Como

reconhecer que Jesus está em nosso meio? Conforme o texto deste domingo é quando caminhamos juntos, visto que as aparições de Jesus acontecem quando os discípulos estão juntos. O próprio Jesus

disse que onde dois ou mais estiverem reunidos em seu nome ele estará no meio deles. E onde Jesus está presente o mal não tem como

entrar . Ainda hoje podemos continuar tocando em Jesus por meio da Palavra, do amor fraterno, e do memorial da ceia. “E permanece o

chamado para testemunhar esta experiência de amor, no modelo que Jesus deixou: Ele tornou-se próximo de nós; devemos fazer-nos próximos dos irmãos e irmãs. Ele repartiu com as multidões a palavra

e o pão, tratando com óleo e vinho suas feridas: as multidões contin- uam com fome de palavra e de pão. Jesus foi misericórdia infinita:

somos chamados a viver dia a dia um amor livre e gratuito para que a misericórdia seja contagiante”
