3 Page 3 April 2, 2017 Resurrection comes to us daily and in many ways. Our challenge, that the Gospel of John sets out today, is to believe. On the previous page the Sisters have download pictures of our First Holy Communion retreat. We will have around 100 children and adolescents receive their First Communion later this spring! Also, this Holy Saturday we have numerous adults who will receive their sacraments of initiation: baptism, communion and confirmation. This is a beautiful time of year and I find it a great time to renew my own faith in God s Word and Sacrament. The children and adults who are coming into the Church are a concrete sign of the movement of the Holy Spirit; of Resurrection! Please take the time to participate in our Holy Week liturgies. These liturgies help us to realize again, in the midst of a world torn by violence and focused on fame and fortune, that Christ calls us, like Martha in today s gospel, to profess him as the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world. Fr. Dan Kayajan, CSC - The domestic roots of a politics of nonviolence If violence has its source in the human heart, then it is fundamental that nonviolence be practised before all else within families. This is part of that joy of love which I described last March in my Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, in the wake of two years of reflection by the Church on marriage and the family. The family is the indispensable crucible in which spouses, parents and children, brothers and sisters, learn to communicate and to show generous concern for one another, and in which frictions and even conflicts have to be resolved not by force but by dialogue, respect, concern for the good of the other, mercy and forgiveness. From within families, the joy of love spills out into the world and radiates to the whole of society. An ethics of fraternity and peaceful coexistence between individuals and among peoples cannot be based on the logic of fear, violence and closed-mindedness, but on responsibility, respect and sincere dialogue. Hence, I plead for disarmament and for the prohibition and abolition of nuclear weapons: nuclear deterrence and the threat of mutual assured destruction are incapable of grounding such an ethics. I plead with equal urgency for an end to domestic violence and to the abuse of women and children. The Jubilee of Mercy that ended in November encouraged each one of us to look deeply within and to allow God s mercy to enter there. The Jubilee taught us to realize how many and diverse are the individuals and social groups treated with indifference and subjected to injustice and violence. They too are part of our family ; they too are our brothers and sisters. The politics of nonviolence have to begin in the home and then spread to the entire human family. Saint Therese of Lisieux invites us to practise the little way of love, not to miss out on a kind word, a smile or any small gesture which sows peace and friendship. An integral ecology is also made up of simple daily gestures that break with the logic of violence, exploitation and selfishness. Quiero invitar a todos a participar en la semana Santa que empieza el próximo domingo con el Domingo de Ramos! Es una semana de celebrar nuestra fe y profundizar la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas diarias! P. Daniel - La raíz doméstica de una política no violenta 5. Si el origen del que brota la violencia está en el corazón de los hombres, entonces es fundamental recorrer el sendero de la no violencia en primer lugar en el seno de la familia. Es parte de aquella alegría que presenté, en marzo pasado, en la Exhortación apostólica Amoris laetitia, como conclusión de los dos años de reflexión de la Iglesia sobre el matrimonio y la familia. La familia es el espacio indispensable en el que los cónyuges, padres e hijos, hermanos y hermanas aprenden a comunicarse y a cuidarse unos a otros de modo desinteresado, y donde los desacuerdos o incluso los conflictos deben ser superados no con la fuerza, sino con el diálogo, el respeto, la búsqueda del bien del otro, la misericordia y el perdón. Desde el seno de la familia, la alegría se propaga al mundo y se irradia a toda la sociedad. Por otra parte, una ética de fraternidad y de coexistencia pacífica entre las personas y entre los pueblos no puede basarse sobre la lógica del miedo, de la violencia y de la cerrazón, sino sobre la responsabilidad, el respeto y el diálogo sincero. En este sentido, hago un llamamiento a favor del desarme, como también de la prohibición y abolición de las armas nucleares: la disuasión nuclear y la amenaza cierta de la destrucción recíproca, no pueden servir de base a este tipo de ética. Con la misma urgencia suplico que se detenga la violencia doméstica y los abusos a mujeres y niños. El Jubileo de la Misericordia, concluido el pasado mes de noviembre, nos ha invitado a mirar dentro de nuestro corazón y a dejar que entre en él la misericordia de Dios. El año jubilar nos ha hecho tomar conciencia del gran número y variedad de personas y de grupos sociales que son tratados con indiferencia, que son víctimas de injusticia y sufren violencia. Ellos forman parte de nuestra «familia», son nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Por esto, las políticas de no violencia deben comenzar dentro de los muros de casa para después extenderse a toda la familia humana. «El ejemplo de santa Teresa de Lisieux nos invita a la práctica del pequeño camino del amor, a no perder la oportunidad de una palabra amable, de una sonrisa, de cualquier pequeño gesto que siembre paz y amistad. Una ecología integral también está hecha de simples gestos cotidianos donde rompemos la lógica de la violencia, del aprovechamiento, del egoísmo». El Papa Fancisco, Dia Mundial de la Paz, 2017 Del Escritorio Del Párroco
