1 April 15, 2018 Third Sunday of Easter We say YES to God! SALUBONG 2018 ^ Blessed are the little angels Second Street Hayward, CA (510) Phone (510) Fax Reading 1 ACTS 3:13-15, Reading 2 1 JN 2:1-5A Gospel LK 24:35-48

April 15, 2018 Third Sunday of Easter (B) Acts 3:13 15, 17 19 1 Jn 2:1 5a Lk 24:35 48 Sharing Our Wounds Piece: The Scenes From the Life of Christ, 1517-1519 Artist: Raphael and collaborators

The Twelve are startled and terrified to see Jesus again. In fact, they even think they are seeing a ghost.

And how does Jesus prove his identity to them? He shows them his wounds, the signs of his suffering and crucifixion. We often want to hide our wounds.

We need to allow our brokenness to find fullness and resurrection in Christ. It is at that point that the love of God is perfected in us.

Finally, through prayer, confession, and help from those who love us, we allow Jesus redemptive love to wash over our wounds and give us renewal, rebirth, and healing.

Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection Is there an area of my heart and life where I need Jesus healing? Am I confident in God s power to raise me up out of my weakness?

2 April 15, 2018 Third Sunday of Easter (B) Acts 3:13 15, Jn 2:1 5a Lk 24:35 48 Sharing Our Wounds Piece: The Scenes From the Life of Christ, Artist: Raphael and collaborators Location: Thirteenth vault of the Raphael Loggia, Sistine T he glorified Jesus is not easy for the apostles to recognize. There is a deep truth here. The Twelve are startled and terrified to see Jesus again. In fact, they even think they are seeing a ghost. Their fear and lack of faith makes it impossible to see him for who he is their resurrected Savior. Before they can truly see, they need to first accept him and believe. And how does Jesus prove his identity to them? He shows them his wounds, the signs of his suffering and crucifixion. We often want to hide our wounds. We are ashamed of them and afraid of how others will react if they really knew. But Jesus, unashamed, shows his wounds and uses them as signs of who he is. There is a message for us here. We need to allow our brokenness to find fullness and resurrection in Christ. It is at that point that the love of God is perfected in us. First we need to acknowledge our wounds and not bury or hide them. Then we need to admit our need for healing. Finally, through prayer, confession, and help from those who love us, we allow Jesus redemptive love to wash over our wounds and give us renewal, rebirth, and healing. As a result, like Jesus, we will no longer be ashamed of our wounds, but rather we will share them as evidence of the power of Jesus Christ. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection Is there an area of my heart and life where I need Jesus healing? Am I confident in God s power to raise me up out of my weakness? The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from death; of this we are witnesses. Acts 3: Liguori Publications Liguori, MO E l glorificado Jesús no es fácil de reconocer para los apóstoles. Hay una profunda verdad aquí. Los Doce están sorprendidos y aterrados de ver a Jesús otra vez. De hecho, incluso creen que están viendo un fantasma. Su miedo y falta de fe hace que sea imposible verlo por lo que él es: su Salvador resucitado. Antes de que realmente puedan ver, necesitan primero aceptarlo y creer. Y cómo Jesús les prueba su identidad? Él les muestra sus heridas, los signos de su sufrimiento y crucifixión. A menudo queremos esconder nuestras heridas. Estamos avergonzados de ellos y tememos cómo reaccionarán los demás si realmente supieran. Pero Jesús, sin vergüenza, muestra sus heridas y las usa como señales de quién es. Hay un mensaje para nosotros aquí. Necesitamos permitir que nuestro quebrantamiento encuentre plenitud y resurrección en Cristo. Es en ese punto que el amor de Dios se perfecciona en nosotros. Primero, debemos reconocer nuestras heridas y no enterrarlas ni esconderlas. Entonces tenemos que admitir nuestra necesidad de curación. Finalmente, a través de la oración, la confesión y la ayuda de aquellos que nos aman, permitimos que el amor redentor de Jesús lave nuestras heridas y nos de renovación, renacimiento y sanación. Como resultado, como Jesús, ya no nos avergonzaremos de nuestras heridas, sino que las compartiremos como evidencia del poder de Jesucristo.

Is there anything wrong with this? I don t take what it says seriously, but sometimes the predictions do come true. Many people enjoy reading their daily horoscopes as a form of entertainment. Like you, they don t take it seriously. When it s approached in this lighthearted way, there is no sin. Others, however, take their horoscopes seriously. Perhaps they don t realize what might underlie their fascination with it. Could it be a desire to escape responsibility? It s a cop-out to believe horoscope advice like, If the position of the stars makes you act a certain way, then you re not responsible for your actions. This thinking doesn t acknowledge that God, as Lord of the universe, is the creator of these stars and their movements. It s absurd to ascribe mystical powers to the stars themselves as if they could influence us independently of God s providence. What about predictions that come true? Reread that horoscope and you ll usually find it was worded in such a general way that it would fit almost any situation. There s also the aspect of the self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think you re going to have a certain type of day, you are more likely to have that type of day. Your approach affects your day, not an outside force. The future will always contain unknowns. For Christians, however, the unknown is cushioned by the belief that all things are in the providential hands of a loving God. Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org From Understanding Scrupulosity: Questions and Encouragement, 2017 Liguori Publications A Word From Pope Francis Jesus tells us that the path to encountering him is to find his wounds. We find Jesus wounds in carrying out works of mercy, giving to the body of your wounded brother, because he is hungry because he s in jail, because he is in the hospital. Those are the wounds of Jesus today. Homily, feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, July 3, Liguori Publications, Liguori, MO Printed in USA.
