Letter From Our Pastor - May 19, 2019
Imagine if God came and told us: “Listen carefully. I’m going to tell you exactly what will fulfill you as a human person. I’m going to tell you exactly what I’m hoping for from you.” Would we listen? I think so. In today’s gospel Jesus just did exactly that. First He tells us that His suffering, death, and resurrection will be His glory. Why is that? Suffering, after all, doesn’t seem that glorious. It all comes back to love. As St Therese of Lisieux put it, “God thirsts for our love”. And the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus brought us back to God. It made it possible for us to receive God’s love and to love him in return in a new way.Love is creative, love doesn’t give up. No matter what sacrifices, love keeps going.
Jesus tells his friends that he’ll only be with them a little longer. He is saying that when they’ve received the power of the Holy Spirit they will be able to go out and practice what they’ve seen him do. Their basic training is almost over although they’ll need refresher courses throughout their lives. What is Jesus asking them to do? To love one another as He loves them. He gives them a series of intensifiers here.
First he tells them: “I give you a new commandment – Love one another.” Love can be commanded because it has first been given. We are infinitely loved by God, therefore we can be commanded to love others. Then Jesus says: “As I have loved you, so you should also love one another.” How does Jesus love us? To the end. He loves us to the point of laying down his life for us. And because of his power in us, we can love others in the same way. Finally, Jesus tells us that love is the Christian’s name tag. He says “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Love is meant to be our name tag as Christians. In the 3rd century, Tertullian said that when the Romans referred to the early Christians they often remarked “See how they love each other.” This was how they recognized them as Christians. And it’s not just a love of good feelings. It’s a love that brings us to lay down our lives for others, just as Jesus laid down his life for us. This is our great power; this is our great privilege. God has come to earth and told us what will fulfill us. He has come to earth and told us what he’s hoping for from us. “Love one another as I have loved you.” Love is a Christian’s name tag.
Rick Hoyt was born with severe brain damage that impeded him from speaking or using his arms and legs. The doctors told his father Dick Hoyt: “Forget Rick, put him away, put him in an institution, he’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life.” But his father was determined to love him. He and Rick’s mother took their son camping, cross country skiing, and swimming. They encouraged him to attend Boston University. Then Rick decided he wanted to compete in triathlons. So they fashioned a special boat and bicycle so they could swim and ride together in triathlons. Dick tows Rick in the boat as he swims, then carries his son to the bike — which has a combined weight of 400 pounds when both Hoyts are locked and loaded. After they complete their bike ride, Dick carries Rick to the running chair and they tackle the run together.They’ve done 31 marathons and 252 triathlons together.

Carta De Nuestro Párroco - 19 de Mayo
Imagina si Dios viniera y nos dijera: "escuchen atentamente. Voy a decirles exactamente lo que te haría una mejor persona humana. Voy a decirte exactamente lo que espero de ti." ¿Escucharías? Eso espero. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús acaba de hacer exactamente eso. Primero nos dice que su sufrimiento, muerte y resurrección será su gloria. ¿Por qué? Sufrimiento, después de todo, no parece tan glorioso. Todo vuelve al amor. Como lo dice Sta. Teresa de Lisieux, "Dios tiene sed de nuestro amor". Y el sufrimiento, muerte y resurrección de Jesús nos trajeron a Dios. Hizo posible para que nosotros recibamos el amor de Dios y lo amemos a cambio de una manera nueva.
Jesús dice a sus amigos que sólo estará con ellos un poco más. Les está diciendo que cuando reciban el poder del Espíritu Santo podrán salir y practicar lo que le han visto hacer. Su formación básica está casi terminada más necesitaran cursos de actualización durante toda su vida. ¿Qué les pide Jesús que hagan? Amarse unos a otros como él los ama. Él les da una serie de refuerzos aquí.
Primero les dice: "te doy un mandamiento nuevo: ámense unos a otros." El amor puede ser mandado porque primero se ha dado. Somos amados infinitamente por Dios, por lo tanto podemos mandar a amar a los demás. Entonces Jesús dice: "Como yo os he amado, así deben también amarse." ¿Cómo nos ama Jesús? Hasta el final. Él nos ama hasta el punto de dar su vida por nosotros. Y debido a su poder en nosotros, nosotros podemos amar a los demás de la misma manera. Por último, Jesús nos dice que el amor es el cristiano una etiqueta de nombre. Dice " En esto es cómo conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos a los otros". El amor está destinado a ser nuestra etiqueta de nombre como cristianos. En el siglo III, Tertuliano dice que cuando los romanos se referían a los primeros cristianos a menudo comentó «Se ve cómo se aman». Así fue cómo los reconocieron como cristianos. Y no es solo un amor de buenos sentimientos. Es un amor que nos lleva a dar nuestras vidas por los demás, así como Jesús dio su vida por nosotros. Este es nuestro gran poder; Este es nuestro gran privilegio. Dios ha venido a la tierra y nos dijo que nos satisfaceria. Ha venido a la tierra y nos dijo lo que él espera de nosotros. "Ámense como yo los he amado." El amor es para el cristiano una etiqueta de nombre.
Rick Hoyt nació con daño cerebral grave que le impedían hablar o usar sus brazos y piernas. Los médicos le dijeron a su padre Dick Hoyt: "Olvídese de Rick, póngalo en una institución, va a ser un vegetal para el resto de su vida". Pero su padre estaba decidido a amarlo. Él y la madre de Rick llevaron a su hijo a acampar, a esquiar y lo pusieron en clases de natación. Lo animaron a asistir a la Universidad de Boston. Luego Rick decidió que quería competir en triatlones. Así formaron un bote especial y una bicicleta para nadar y montar juntos en triatlones. Dick remolca a Rick en el barco donde nadaba, luego llevaba a su hijo a la bicicleta que tiene un peso de 400 libras cuando ambos Hoyts están asegurados y cargados. Después de terminar su paseo en bicicleta, Dick lleva Rick a la silla de correr y hacen el funcionamiento juntos. Han hecho 31 maratones y 252 triatlones juntos.
El amor es creativo, el amor no se da por vencido. No importa los sacrificios, el amor sigue adelante. -
