THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD  - CYCLE A - 2020

« Forty days ago we celebrated the triumph of Jesus over death, his RESURRECTION.   

« During this time, Jesus has made him visible in different ways to his apostles who will be the witnesses of his resurrection.  

« Today we celebrate in the liturgy the passage of Jesus from this way of life similar to ours,  to the Father.  

« He will not be visible anymore; he will be present in his church through the sacrament, the word and the witnesses of all the times,  explaining to us the meaning of our life if we want to listen to him,  and leading us by means of his Spirit. .

 

 FIRST READING  – Act  1:1-11

-        Jesus asks them to remain in Jerusalem until they receive the promise from the Father.   

-        Luke says in this book that the Lord has tried in different ways to convince them that he is alive. 

-        John baptized in water, you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. 

-        Let us reflect on the meaning of the word “baptism.” To baptize means to submerge into water. Thus, when Jesus says they will be baptized in the Holy Spirit, he means that they will be submerged in the Spirit of God that we call the Holy Spirit.

-        In addition, this will happen to those who will follow him through the centuries.   

-        Thus, the Spirit does not come to us in a visible and external way, but we are submerged in the Spirit. 

-        They want to know if the kingdom of Israel will be restored, but Jesus says that this is known only by the Father. 

-        However, they will receive the Holy Spirit who will come upon them and make them witnesses of Jesus throughout the entire world.  

-        It is important to enter into the symbolic meaning of the vocabulary used to describe this mystery of faith, the passage or returning of Jesus to the Father. 

o   Lifted up = we always look at the blue sky when we speak about heaven, the abode of God. Thus, to be lifted up means that Jesus goes to the Father.  

o   They continue to look intently, we feel so good when we experience the presence of God, when he allows us to feel his loving and joyful presence.   

o   Why are you standing there looking at the sky? He will return  

o   Now “you have to be his witnesses”, now it is the time of the church, our time when we have to do the same works that Jesus did. In our baptism, we have been called to do that.   

-        It is not a sad farewell, it is not a day of mourning, it is the day of Jesus’ triumph, that is why the church puts on our lips the responsorial psalm:  

o   We are invited to clap our hands, to shout with cries of joy, to sing the praises of our King, to sing hymns  

o   Because the Lord has established his throne upon the heights, he reigns over the nations and he sits as King on his sacred throne. 

-        This triumph is already ours in hope, now for a little while we have to work with the Lord to invite all to the heavenly banquet for all eternity. 

-        While we journey during this life waiting to enter the banquet, we have to work with all our abilities to transform this world of ours, this society in the Kingdom of God.

-        Each one putting his/her gifts and the little we have, like the boy who had only 2 fish and five loaves, and with this Jesus fed the multitude.

-        If we give the little we have to the Lord for the good of our brothers and sisters, it multiplies to feed all and still there are leftovers.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 47

R. (6) God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
All you peoples, clap your hands,
shout to God with cries of gladness,
for the LORD, the Most High, the awesome,
is the great king over all the earth.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
 God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our king, sing praise.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
 For king of all the earth is God;
sing hymns of praise.
God reigns over the nations,
God sits upon his holy throne.
R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
 

SECOND READING   Ephesians  1:17-23

-        The author of this letter asks that the Father of Lord  Jesus     

o   May give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in  knowledge of  him  

o   May enlighten the eyes of our heart to know

§  What is the hope that belongs to his call  

§  What are the riches of his glory, the inheritance among the holy ones, destined to be distributed to the members of the Church, and among all the men and women of good will who seek God without knowing Him, but with a sincere heart.     

o   So we may experience his power in our life

o   Which is the same power that the Father has revealed in the resurrection of Jesus from among the dead and, in giving to Jesus a glory, which is above all that, has been created.  

o   He has put all things beneath the feet of Jesus; this means that he has made  Jesus Lord and Head of the church which is his body.  

o   Alonso Schökel asks a question in his commentary, a question which we may keep and meditate in our hearts over and over again: Does Paul mean that the Church is more than an earthly reality, being already united to Christ in his triumph and in his glory, being already inhabited by the fullness of the divinity? 

-        A good preparation for the celebration of Jesus’ triumph will be to reflect and try to answer this two questions:  

o   Do I really know Jesus? Do I know him in such a way that this knowledge fills me with hope, joy, strength and trust without limits? Let us have a sincere conversation with the Lord.

o   Am I aware that the Church is not the reunion of members of a club o an association, that she does not exist by our will but that she is the Body of Christ and each one of the baptized is part of this Body. Body led by the Spirit of Jesus.  

GOSPEL  Matthew 28:16-40

Ø  Matthew writes at the end of his gospel the missionary commission of the apostles by Jesus. 

Ø  The eleven, the new born Church, has gone to Galilee 

Ø  In the morning of the resurrection Jesus had commissioned the women to go and tell his disciples to go to Galilee, there they would see him. 

Ø  Why Galilee and not Judea where they were?  

Ø  Galilee was the place of their first encounter with Jesus, we could call it “their first love” when they got excited about the young rabbi who proclaimed a kingdom of love, peace and fraternity, they were excited about him and about his project.   The young rabbi who associated himself with the marginalized of society, the poor, the sick, the sinners, those who do not count, and those “discarded.”

Ø  Now after all that had happened with the crucifixion of Jesus, their cowardice, their leaving him alone, Jesus invites them to go back, we could say to go back home. 

Ø  They go to Galilee, when he comes in their midst, they adore him, although some still doubt  

o   In the Gospels and in the Acts we see how the community of the followers, after the resurrection, gives to Jesus the honor due to God, they adore him.  

o   It is interesting what Matthew says, “they doubted” why? They doubted because the joy was so overwhelming that they could not believe it to be true? They doubted because they did not believe it was he. 

o   We do not know, but certainly, this sentence from Matthew is uplifting for us, the followers of the XXI century, we doubt also during the journey of our life, we doubt about our relationship with Him. 

Ø  The fact that they doubt is not an obstacle for Jesus to send them. We are sent in spite of our doubts, our infidelities, our laziness, and our many temptations against our mission as missionaries.  Our brothers and sisters doctors and nurses and the other persons who take care of those stricken by the pandemic, doubt also, they are also afraid, they are tired but they continue caring for the sick. This is the response Jesus wants from us in any situation we find ourselves.

Ø  The one who sends us is Jesus and his will is not conditioned by our feelings or our actions. 

Ø  As a consequence of our baptism we have been sent 

o   Go and make disciples, that is to say, inspire others to follow me 

o   Not to a select group, but to all the nations, no one is excluded from this proclamation, from this happiness; we cannot put obstacles with our life to what Jesus wants: all the nations. 

o   Once they had become disciples, once they had gotten excited and are ready to follow me, baptize them in the name of the Trinity, in the name of God.   

o   That is, submerging them into the waters of life, which is to be deeply submerged in the life of our God. 

o   Teach them all that I have taught you. What we have to teach is what Jesus has taught us and the Spirit with his light explains to us, as John says in his Gospel “the Spirit will remind you all that I have taught you.” 

o   If this responsibility frightens us, if we think that we cannot do it, let us continue to listen to Jesus who says to us 

o   I AM WITH YOU UNTIL THE END OF HISTORY, THE END OF TIME. 

Ø  No fears, no laziness, no excuses the Risen Jesus who sends us is also always with us and journeys with us. 

Ø  THANK YOU  Lord to be the Emmanuel, God with us, as the angel had said to Joseph who doubted when he knew that Mary was pregnant, do not fear he will be called Emmanuel, that is, God-is-with-us. 

 CLARETIAN CORNER 

María Antonia presents with great simplicity, and sometimes even with little order, her intuitions on how   the Reformation of the Church should be, and who should do it. 

Claret kept with him these two Notebooks, and we realize the value they had for him, since he included them at the end of his Autobiography.  We have a written evidence in two letters of Father Clotet .

The text has two introductions, in which María Antonia explains the reason for writing the Notes on the Reformation.  Two parts follow: the first part on who has to do the Reformation and how the Reformation has to be . The second part  is the Rules for the Apostolic Missionaries.   There is a conclusion  in which she explains that she has written in obedience. She also mentions her hopes in the new institute. (Paris and Claret. Two Pens Guided by the Same Spirit, pp. 73-74 )

The document has an outline easy to follow, due to its interconnection, order and coherence.  

It begins with a Prologue in which Claret explains that he has been motivated to print again this work, by the positive reactions of several bishops on receiving the first edition.  He makes them believe that this is his own personal Plan used in his service to the Diocese of Santiago de Cuba.  

A long Introduction follows. We find in this introduction doctrinal, theological and apologetic elements, which come before giving the counsels, and the practical pastoral strategies.  We are surprised that in a writing of this nature, addressed to his brothers Bishops, he starts with a profession of faith in Christ and in the Church.  This has an explanation due to the situation   they were experiencing, especially in France. This country presented itself to the world as a model of the new civilization based on the motto (theme?) of the French Revolution: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. With the Revolution, France wants to begin a new period of its history.   Some French Bishops, in particular Govel, Constitutional Bishop of Paris, rejects Christ for the Revolution. Rationalism gave the primacy of reason over faith.  (Paris and Claret. Two Pens Guided by the Same Spirit, pp. 103)

VI SUNDAY OF EASTER – CYCLE A - 2020

It is almost the end of the Easter season. Let us review the message given by the Gospels during these six Sundays of Easter before the Ascension of the Lord. 

·       On Easter Sunday we contemplated Peter and John going to the tomb and,  on seeing the burial cloths John believed.

·       On the second Sunday we saw the goodness and tender love of Jesus in his dialogue with Thomas, and with the other apostles, and we heard the Lord saying  that those who believe without seeing are blessed.  

·       On the third Sunday we read about the two disciples on their way to Emmaus and how Jesus joined them in their journey. The Lord continues to journey with each one of us.  

·       On the fourth Sunday Jesus said that he is the good Shepherd and the door of the sheep.  

·       On the fifth and Sixth Sundays the Gospels are taken from the conversation of Jesus with his disciples in the Last  Supper: 

·       Fifth Sunday:

-        Heaven is like a house with many rooms, one for each one 

-        Jesus is the way, the truth and the life to get to this “house” 

-        Jesus is the image of God the Father, the sacrament of the Father as we read in the document Lumen Gentium of the Council  Vatican II.  

-        And Jesus tells us that he/she who believes in Him will do greater works than him, because He goes to the Father.  

·       Sixth Sunday:   

-        The promise of the Holy Spirit 

-        We are in Christ   

FIRST READING  – Acts  8:5-8; 14-17

Ø   Last Sunday we heard that, as the community of the church was growing, they had to create more ministries, and thus the diaconate was established for the first time in the Church.  Deacons were to devote themselves to serve the needs of the Church.  This ministry has experienced changes and evolved through history.

Ø  Today Philip, one of the deacons that had been chosen by the community to serve the needs of the widows and other persons in need, goes to Samaria to bring there the Good News.  

Ø  They were suffering persecution for their faith in Jesus, and Paul was more and more against the new faith of the followers of Jesus

Ø  Following what the Lord had told them, they went from one place to another to protect themselves from the persecution, and on so doing they also proclaimed in the different places the good news of Jesus. 

Ø  The Samaritans who  listened to Philip proclaiming the Good News about Jesus, accepted the faith and were baptized.   

Ø  When the news reached the Apostles, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. 

Ø  And impose hands upon them so they could  receive the Holy Spirit.  

Ø  This is a beautiful image of the infant church, they take advantage of all situations to announce. The persecution is the occasion to announce the good news to other brothers and sisters. 

Ø  This young and little church makes real the mandate of Jesus “go, proclaim, baptize, teach” what? All that I have taught you.

Ø  And what has he taught   by words and deeds? That God is love, and that we are called to love, since we are the image of our Creator who knows only to love without conditions. To this we are called, and this is what we have to announce by words and deeds.

Ø  Is our enthusiasm for the Lord, like that of this young church? That we do not waste any occasion to live up to this mandate of the Lord, not so much by our words but by our life that cries out that the Lord is alive, and in encountering him in the community every Sunday, our life keeps changing? 

 RESPONSORIAL PSALM. Ps 66: 1-7.16.20.

R. (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, "How tremendous are your deeds!"
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
 "Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you,
sing praise to your name!"
Come and see the works of God,
his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
 He has changed the sea into dry land;
through the river they passed on foot;
therefore let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his might forever.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
 Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare
what he has done for me.
Blessed be God who refused me not
my prayer or his kindness!
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

     This psalm is an invitation to sing the wonderful Works of God 

     What works?

Ø  Creation 

Ø  Exodus, liberation: he has changed the sea in dry land 

Ø  The Psalmist invites us to listen to what God has done for him  

Ø  What has God done in my life?  Let each one of us dedicate some time in solitude and silent prayer with the Lord thinking about the wonderful works that the Lord has done in our  life.   

SECOND READING  – 1Pt 3:15-18

ü  Peter invites us to have Christ as the Lord of our heart, the Lord of our life.     

ü  He also says that we have to be ready to give an account of our faith when we are asked. This means that we have to know what we believe, to have ownership of the faith we have received from our ancestors.  

ü  Peter tells us also that it is better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.  

ü  Because Jesus who was innocent suffered for us sinners.  

ü  He was condemned to death, but God brought him to life again by the Spirit

ü  How do I react to the unjust suffering in my life? When I suffer without having done the evil I am accused of?  

GOSPEL   Jn 14,15-21

     Jesus says to his disciples “if you love me, you will keep my commandments” 

     What are his commandments? In the Last Supper he said that he has only commandment “love one another…” but to learn how to make real this commandment in our life, we have to look at Jesus, his life, his ministry, the way he relates to other persons, because Jesus is the new Law that has come  to fulfill the Old Covenant, the Law given on Mount Sinai.  

     If we live according to his commandments Jesus will ask the Father for another advocate who will always be with us.   

     Why only with those who live according to his commandments who believe in Him? I have read something that may help us to answer this question:  

ü  The Spirit is the anointing that Jesus receives as Head of the body which is the Church 

ü  From Him, Head, the Spirit overflows as a sacred ointment over his whole body, the Church. 

ü  This Spirit that Jesus pours over his whole Church makes possible, the life, the faith and the ministries of the community of believers.  

ü  I think that this can be the explanation to what Jesus says that He will ask for the Spirit for those who keep his commandments.  

ü  That is to say to those who are united with Him the head of the body.  

     In silent prayer, united to Jesus, let us ask the grace to understand this beautiful image of Christ head of the Church-faith community- body.  

     The reading ends with these words of Jesus 

·       He who loves Jesus, will be loved by the Father  

·       Jesus too will love him/her and will reveal himself to him/her   in the intimacy of love.  

CLARETIAN CORNER

  

 After her Initial Experience, María Antonia goes through a normal process of deepening in the understanding of what the Lord had revealed to her.  Little by little she learns that the Renewal is not only about the New Order, but also about something larger and deeper; it is the whole Church that has to be renewed, converted and   returned to her first love. And in the Church, two groups of persons have a greater responsibility: the Hierarchy and the Religious men and women, because the conversion of the people of God depends on their conversion. Thus María Antonia writes this Plan to contribute, for her part, to the Renewal of the Church which she has understood as a must in the Initial Experience.  Let us see how she conceives it and how she translates it later on in the Plan for the Renewal.  (Two Pens Moved by the Same Spirit, Spanish edition pp.73-74)

This is the title of the second edition in 1865,   Claret edited    with notes and explanations, the first edition which he had composed on the ship on his return to Spain in 1857.   This is the edition we will transcribe in our book.  It has a simpler and more discrete title than the original one.  “Notes Of a Plan To Keep The Beauty Of The Church And To Preserve Her From Error And Vices, Which Are The Weed That The Enemy Takes Advantage of Any Opportunity To Sow It Among The Good Wheat.” 

Both titles are not too good for advertisement… but it gives us an idea about the goal of the writing.  They are Notes and thus we are going to find in them a simple style, but at the same time with a sound theological foundation.  These notes are at the same time a Plan written with a purpose, which is expressed in the title by two verbs: to keep and to preserve the beauty of the Church. (Two Pens Moved by the Same Spirit, Spanish edition pp.100-101)

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER – CYCLE A - 2020

As the Easter season moves towards the Ascension,  we read from the farewell discourse of Christ in  St. John’s Gospel chapters 14 to 17.

FIRST READING – Acts 6:1-7

Ø  Jesus  said to his apostles that the Holy Spirit  would remind them all his words.  In this reading from the Acts,  these words of Jesus become real.  

Ø  This passage is like an image of what the Church has been doing during her journey through history, whenever she is confronted with new problems or issues she has to discern the new situation in order to be faithful to the Lord.  

Ø  Those who have the mission to guide the Church, the pastors, will have to look at the problems,   difficulties or   new situations, which confront the Christian community, discover and try to understand the voice of the Spirit.

Ø  All the groups in the Church will have to do the same, under the guidance of their pastors.  

Ø  And also all the members of the Church will have to do the same if they want to be faithful to the words of Jesus. 

Ø  We cannot say anymore this has been done always in this way…. Because the Spirit, which is eternal newness, is he who inspires the Church the necessary changes to be faithful to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus, not our self-made gospel which becomes a piece for a museum.   

Ø  Chapter 6 of Acts presents a very concrete situation.  There are differences among them; they did not take care of all the poor in the same way.  

Ø  At the beginning the first community of the followers of Jesus was formed by persons converted from the Jewish faith. They took good care of their widows and orphans. That was not difficult, since they had been doing that long before in response to the law of Israel.   

Ø  But now there are also other widows, other orphans who come from other countries, speak other languages.   

Ø  The community is too large now, and the Apostles cannot take care of all the needs that the community has. They decide to look for help among the men of the community. A new ministry is born in the Christian community: the deacons whose main mission will be to take care of those in need. 

Ø  They choose 7 men deeply spiritual and prudent, faithful to the teachings of the Lord.

Ø  Let us reflect on our community, our apostolic movements and see if we are faced   with problems similar to those of the first community of Jerusalem.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM. Ps 33: 1-2. 4-5. 18-19

R. (22) Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
 Exult, you just, in the LORD;
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
 Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
 See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.

     The second stanza ends with these words: the earth is filled of the goodness of our God and Lord.  What a wonderful sentence, very comforting for us who are so many times afraid and fearful of our Good Father God.  

SECOND READING – First letter of Peter

Since the second Sunday of Easter we are reading from this letter.  What do we know about this letter?  

ü  If we read the first verse of the letter  we know that Peter is the author of the letter 

ü  That he writes for the elect, the baptized-consecrated, from a very large region of Asia.  

ü  And let us go now to the last chapter 5,12, Peter says to us that the letter has been written by Silvanus. This means that Sylvanus has been the secretary who has written down what Peter was dictating

ü  The addressees are people from different countries who live all over the region. It is a letter addressed to migrant persons, who work and live far from home and  country. People discriminated against by those who are in a better economic position. People considered objects of production, not as persons. Men and women who work to produce and thus increase the wealth of the owners, who have forgotten that we are all equals.   

ü  This reality might as well explain the central theme of the letter, the sufferings of Christ that give meaning to our own sufferings. 

ü  The verbs  to suffer and the word suffering is repeated over and over throughout this entire letter.  

SECOND READING  – 1Pt 2:4-9

« The message of this fragment of the letter of Peter is very rich. 

« Peter describes the young church, the community of the believers as a temple and each one of us is one of the  stones. This  is a beautiful image, the more beautiful the stone the more beautiful the temple. 

« Peter describes Jesus as the cornerstone. The cornerstone holds the building together. 

« Jesus is this stone. This stone is of value for those who have faith 

« But it is a stumbling  blog for those who oppose it ( Is 28,16). 

« These words remind us the words of Simeon when Jesus was presented in the Temple by Joseph and Mary  (Lk 2,34-35)

« Peter tells us that we are a priestly nation consecrated to proclaim the wonderful works of God. 

« How can I be a priest of the Most High? By our baptism we are all called and we can sing the praises of God  Our Father, Jesus Our Brother and the Spirit our Guide and Teacher, with our family life, our work, recreation time, sufferings, in a word everything good that we do in our life. If God calls me to be a priest like the priest in the parish, or a sister I will answer “here I am Lord, may it be done unto me according to your will.”

GOSPEL  Jn 14:1-12

     Jesus says to his apostles and to us “do not let your hearts be troubled.”  

     He also invites them to believe in God and in Him.  

     Heaven is presented as a home with many rooms which Jesus himself prepares for each one of us.  When we expect someone to visit us to stay for some days, we prepare the room and everything so that person feels at home.  Let this powerful image that John offers to our contemplation help us to dream, to imagine the beauty of heaven, our home; knowing that Jesus prepares an eternal room for us with the Most Holy Trinity.  

     There are two other images in this text  

ü  Jesus is The way to go to this “home”     

He is also the truth and the life.  

 The way to discover the truth in order to have abundant life.

ü  Whoever sees Jesus  sees the Father   

Jesus is in the Father and the Father in him.

The words of Jesus are the words the Father says to him. 

The works Jesus does are the works the Fathers does in him. 

The passage began with the words of Jesus “do not let your hearts be troubled,” and ends with these powerful words, which will help us “not to be troubled”:

I SOLEMNLY ASSURE YOU, THE MAN WHO HAS FAITH IN ME WILL DO THE WORKS I DO,

AND GREATER FAR THAN THESE, WHY? BECAUSE I GO TO THE FATHER. 

CLARETIAN CORNER

Claret y María Antonia speak in their Writings about the Renewal, General Renewal, Restoration of the Church…, To Keep the beauty…  They also use the verb to Reform . In some texts from María Antonia,  she speaks of to reviving  or  reestablishing.  These words   tell us how to understand the reform-conversion:  it is not about the faith or the sacramental life, or the structures of grace, thus about the  Church in her trascendent dimension, the Church as mystery which they call Holy as did also Council Vatican II.   Both  documents are about  the Church’s fidelity in her members in any walk of life; that is to say the Church in her human dimension as Pilgrim People of God.  It is about the reformation of the Church in her members and institutions;  a call to go back to her origins, to the original fervor of the first Christian men and women, to the Gospel, to the newness of the preaching and witnessing of the first communities. The Reformation entails living in fidelity, poverty, and in proclaiming the Gospel with words and, above all, with the testimony of life.  (Paris and Claret, Two Pens Guided by the Same Spirit, pg.72)
