2 FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2 APRIL 24, 2016 Throughout this time of Easter, it is most fitting that the scriptures lead us into a deeper reflection on the reality of the Church. When Christ appeared to his apostles, he breathed on them the Holy Spirit. He made manifest how his death and resurrection fulfilled the scriptures. Then, he prepared them to go out and proclaim the message of his plan of salvation to all the nations. The first readings have focused quite a bit on how the Church accomplishes this. In the first reading we read how Paul and Barnabas appointed elders in each church (Acts 14). The original Greek text said that Paul and Barnabas appointed πρεσβυτέρους. In English, we would say presbyteroi. This word may sound familiar to you if you have heard of Presbyterian Christians. Yet, presbyteroi referred to elders who were assigned to a church in order to nurture the faith of the disciples. Eventually, the duties of the presbyteroi extended to celebrating the sacraments. This included especially the Mass. These were the early form of the parish pastor. The term priest refers to both bishops (episcopoi), who exercise the full ministry of the priesthood, and the presbyteroi, who serve the bishop within the parish as well as other ministries. For that reason, parish priests are more appropriately called presbyters. Parish priests are the presbyters, or elders of the church community. How amazing it is to see this role already exercised within the first century of the Church! A lo largo de este tiempo de Pascua, es más apropiado que las escrituras nos lleven a una reflexión mas profunda sobre la realidad de la Iglesia. Cuando Cristo se apareció a sus apóstoles, soplo sobre ellos el Espíritu Santo. Se puso de manifiesto como su muerte y resurrección cumplían las escrituras. Luego, los preparó para salir a anunciar el mensaje de su plan de salvación a todas las naciones. Las primeras lecturas se han centrado bastante en como la Iglesia logra esto. En la primera lectura leemos que Pablo y Bernabé asignaron ancianos en cada iglesia: (Hechos 14). El texto griego original dice que Pablo y Bernabé constituyeron πρεσβυτέρους. En Inglés, diríamos presbyteroi. Esta palabra puede sonar familiar para usted si ha oído hablar de los Cristianos Presbiterianos. Sin embargo, presbyteroi se refería a los ancianos que fueron asignados a una iglesia con el fin de alimentar la fe de los discípulos. Con el tiempo, las funciones de la presbyteroi se extendían a celebrar los sacramentos. Esto incluía especialmente la Misa. Estos eran la formas anteriores del párroco. El termino cura se refiere tanto a los obispos (episcopoi), que ejercen el ministerio completo del sacerdocio, y el presbyteroi, que sirven al obispo dentro de la parroquia, asi como otros ministerios. Por esa razón, los párrocos se denominan mas apropiadamente presbíteros. Los párrocos son los presbíteros o ancianos de la comunidad de la iglesia. Lo increíble es que esta función ya ejercía en el primer siglo de la Iglesia! May is the month of Mary As we honor our earthly mothers on Mother s Day, we take this month to specially honor our spiritual mother who watches over us every day. We give thanks to Christ for giving His Mother to each one of us as one of His final acts while He was hanging on the cross. The rosary will be prayed before every Mass during the month of May. Please join us. Mayo es el mes de Maria Al honrar a nuestras madres en la tierra en el Día de la Madre, tomamos este mes para honrar especialmente nuestra madre espiritual que vela por nosotros todos los días. Damos gracias a Cristo por darnos a su Madre a cada uno de nosotros como uno de sus últimos actos, mientras estaba colgado en la cruz. El rosario se rezará antes de cada Misa durante el mes de Mayo. Por favor únase a nosotros.
