When people watch us, do they know that we are the disciples of Jesus? As Christians, we are called to do more than love the Lord. We are called to be his witnesses in the world by loving others as well. In today's Gospel reading, he gave us a new commandment, "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." Anyone, everyone, should be able to look at us and see this love in action. If we are not witnesses to this love, then we are falling short of our mission. So, how did Jesus love us? Selflessly. His love was never motivated by personal gain. On the contrary, he often suffered for us, and not just on the cross. He faced rejection and animosity for loving those who were considered "unlovable" in his culture. He lived a life of poverty and simplicity, never focused on amassing things for himself, but always willing to give of himself. This is the love we are called to imitate. 5º Domingo de Pascua El Evangelio del domingo pasado nos invitaba a escuchar la voz del Buen Pastor y ahora se nos da el mandamiento del amor. Estamos en el inicio de la despedida de Jesús. Parece como si continuáramos leyendo el Evangelio del Jueves Santo. Jesús nos habla directo y a la vez a todas las generaciones por venir. Y nos ofrece el mandamiento nuevo. "Les doy un mandamiento nuevo: que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo los he amado; y por este amor reconocerán todos que ustedes son mis discípulos" (Jn 1, 34-35). Cómo son reconocidos los discípulos de Cristo? De seguro no por la medalla que llevas colgada al cuello, ni por los rosarios y novenas que rezas, ni porque vayas a misa todos los días. Estas acciones de hecho están bien. Pero un discípulo debe ser reconocido por el amor que tenga a los otros. Por el apoyo dado a esa persona inmigrante que acaba de llegar al país, por la visita a un enfermo que no tiene su familia cerca. Es decir, "Que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo los he amado". Ahora se habla de la Nueva Evangelización en las comunidades parroquiales, muchas actividades pastorales han surgido, cambios radicales que a veces duelen. Todos nos emocionamos por lo bien que se lleva este proceso de la evangelización. Pero nos hemos fijado en el amor, el respeto entre comunidades multiculturales que a veces son ignoradas y, lo que es peor, marginadas? Pidamos al Señor que llevemos a cabo el mandamiento nuevo del amor en nuestras actividades pastorales. Que así sea!

4 Sharing the Gospel Jesus said, "Love each other as I have loved you." He died on the cross so that your sins and mine might be forgiven. Jesus was human like you and me. He shared his food with friends. He visited and healed the sick. He cried when his friends died. He told stories to help people learn about his Father in heaven. When you show love for others, Jesus smiles because he is very proud of you. Jesus gave his disciples a new rule. He told them they had to love each other, just like he loved them. What did Jesus mean? Jesus was very patient with his friends. He forgave his friends when they let him down. Jesus comforted his friends when they were afraid. Most of all he helped them grow closer to God. Prayer Dear Jesus, help me to love my friends like You do. Something to Draw Draw a picture of yourself talking to a friend who is afraid. Mission for the Week Forgive those who have hurt you.

5 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal - Share The Joy Of The Gospel The 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal teaches the importance to renew our faith through acts of charity and emphasizes the responsibility parishioners have in supporting their parish, as well as the diocesan ministries, programs and services that are carried out in our communities through the Annual Catholic Appeal. A Catholic Steward reaches out in many ways. Through the Annual Catholic Appeal we support many programs, ministries and services and most importantly, people. This year s theme captures the call to be Church through our Holy Father Pope Francis Encyclical Evangelii Gaudium - The Joy of the Gospel to go forth as a community of missionary disciples who take the first step, who are involved and supportive, who bear fruit and rejoice. We are encouraged in a special way in this 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal to share the Joy of the Gospel: by teaching and modeling Christian values; by practicing works of mercy, charity, and consolation; by giving to the ACA whose ministries and services share our Catholic faith throughout Brooklyn and Queens. Through your ACA donations we share the Joy of the Gospel with our children, our youth and young adults, our sick and elderly. We share the Joy of the Gospel when we help young couples prepare for marriage, prepare for the baptism of their child, prepare their children for First Holy Communion. We share the Joy of the Gospel when we support our seminarians through prayer and financial gifts. When you give a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal your dollars are distributed among the services and ministries that are carried out in our diocese of Brooklyn and Queens and in our parish. Please prayerfully consider the sacrificial pledge you would like to make to our Diocesan Annual Catholic Appeal for this year Whatever the amount of your gift, it will be accepted with gratitude and deeply appreciated.
