Love one Another

Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from Johns Gospel in which
Email: stpeterclaver@cbi.mgacoxmail.com Jesus uses the metaphor of the vine and the branches. In that passage we
were told that if we remained in Christ we would bear much fruit. Todays
Webpage: www.spcccmacon.com
Gospel tells us just what that fruit is: love. Todays second reading and
Gospel together create a great hymn to love. The chorus of this hymn is
simpleGod loves us so much that Jesus was sent into the world so that
we would have life. The Lord Jesus, who last week told us to remain in
him, this week tells us to remain in his love. In a world marked by division
and terrorism, the Lords final words in todays Gospel are a great
challenge:
This
I
command
you:
love
one
another.

PREGUNTA DE
LA SEMANA
Agraciados con la Amistad
inmerecida y no
ganada de Jess, a
quin y cmo debo ofrecer
mi Amistad esta semana?

LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura Mediante las prdicas
de Pedro, el Espritu Santo viene a
los gen les (Hechos 10:25-26,
34-35, 44-48).
Salmo El Seor nos ha mostrado su
amor y su lealtad. Aleluya (Salmo 98).
Segunda lectura Dios es amor y Dios nos
ama (1 Juan 4:7-10).
Evangelio Jess da este mandamiento a
sus discpulos: mense unos a otros
como yo los he amado (Juan 15:9-17)

MENSE UNOS A OTROS

El domingo pasado escuchamos el familiar pasaje del Evangelio de san Juan en el
que Jess usa el smbolo de la via y las ramas. En ese pasaje escuchamos que si permanecemos en Cristo daremos mucho fruto. El Evangelio de hoy nos dice cul es ese
fruto: el amor. La segunda lectura de hoy junto con el Evangelio crean un gran himno
de amor. El coro de este himno es sencillo Dios nos ama tanto que envi a Jess al
mundo para que tuviramos vida. El Seor Jess que nos dijo la semana pasada que
permaneciramos en l, esta semana nos dice que permanezcamos en su amor. En
un mundo marcado por las divisiones y el terrorismo, las l mas palabras del Evangelio de hoy son un gran reto: Esto es lo que les mando: que se amen los unos a los

otros.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Gracias a los grupos de Movimiento Juan XXIII, Evangelizacin y Estudio Bblico
dentro de nuestra Iglesia Catlica, que dependen de himnos religiosos o de un canto
lema para ir formando una conciencia cristiana en sus miembros o seguidores. Esta
formacin se basa en una relacin ntima y emocional entre Jess y sus seguidores.
Un himno carismtico dice as: Yo tengo un amigo que me ama, y otro de ellos
dice: l es mi amigo Jess, l es Dios, l es rey, es amor y verdad. Estos dos
himnos de autor desconocido, enfatizan lo bello que es tener una relacin ntima con
el Seor, mejor dicho, con nuestro amigo Jess. Jess mismo enfatiza este tipo de
relacin cuando dice: No los llamo ya siervos... a ustedes los he llamado
amigos (Juan 15:15).
Toda amistad se basa en una mutua atraccin, simpata y reciprocidad. Jess
dice que somos sus amigos 1) cuando hacemos lo que nos manda y 2) porque nos
ensea lo que recibe de su Padre. La amistad con Jess, es ms que una emocin,
Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
se basa en el compromiso y la perseverancia.
