The month of April is dedicated to the Ho-
ly Spirit. To believe in the Holy Spirit is to
profess that the Holy Spirit is one of the
persons of the Holy Trinity, consubstantial
with the Father and the Son: "with the Fa-
ther and the Son He is worshipped and
glorified." (Catechism of the Catholic
Church)
The Holy Spirit is the Person of Love in the life of
God. He is also like a breath, an aspiration of infinite
Love, from which we draw the breath of life.
On the day of Pentecost the Divine Spirit communicat-
ed such an abundance of life to the whole Church that
to symbolize it "there came a sound from heaven, as of
a violent wind coming, and it filled the whole house
where they (the Apostles) were sitting."
But it is also for us that the Holy Spirit has come, for
the group in the Cenacle represented the whole
Church. The Holy Spirit came to remain with the
Church forever. This is the promise of Jesus Himself.
He dwells in the Church permanently and unfailingly,
performing in it without ceasing His action of life-
giving and sanctification. He establishes the Church
infallibly in the truth. It is He who makes the Church
blossom forth with a marvelous supernatural fruitful-
ness, for He brings to life and full fruition in Virgins,
Martyrs, and Confessors those heroic virtues which
are one of the marks of true sanctity.

Third Sunday of Easter After the resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples many
times, often sharing food with them. “They recognized him in the breaking of the bread” as the Gospel says this Sunday. Je-sus was not just making a point about his bodily resurrection; he was also making a point about community. The risen Jesus brings people together and they become the Body of Christ; We do not choose the members of the Body of Christ, we have been chosen, by the grace of God to belong. Like the disciples of the past, we are called to give witness to this by our lives. Is our love, our mercy and compassion, especially to the poor and vulnerable credible enough that everyone who sees us could tell that we are members of Christ’s body?
Tercer Domingo de Pascua
Después de la resurrección, Jesús se apareció a sus discípu-los muchas veces, con frecuencia compartiendo comida con ellos “ellos lo reconocieron al partir el pan” como el Evangelio nos dice este domingo. Jesús no estaba únicamente aludiendo a su resurrección corporal; él estaba también hablando sobre comunidad. El Jesús resucitado hace que la gente se junte y se convierta en el Cuerpo de Cristo. Nosotros no escogemos a los miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, hemos sido escogidos, por la gracia de Dios, para pertenecer a él. Como los discípulos del pasado, estamos llamados a dar testimonio de esto con nues-tras vidas ¿Es nuestro amor, nuestra misericordia y com-pasión, especialmente por los pobres y vulnerables suficiente-mente creíbles de manera que todos los que nos miren sepan que somos miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo?

Attention Youth!
The Effects of the Sacrament of:
Holy Communion Receiving Holy Communion worthily brings us graces that affect
us both spiritually and physically.
Spiritually, our souls become more united to Christ, both through
the graces we receive and through the change in our actions that
those graces affect. Frequent Communion increases our love for
God and for our neighbor, which expresses itself in action, which
makes us more like Christ.
Physically, frequent Communion relieves us of our passions.
Priests and other spiritual directors who counsel those who are
struggling with passions, especially sexual sins, often urge fre-
quent reception not only of the Sacrament of Confession but of the
Sacrament of Holy Communion. By receiving Christ's Body and
Blood, our own bodies are sanctified, and we grow in our likeness
to Christ In fact, as Fr. John Hardon points out in his Modern
Catholic Dictionary, the Church teaches that "A final effect of
Communion is to remove the personal guilt of venial sins, and the
temporal punishment [earthly and purgatorial] due to forgiven sins,
whether venial or mortal." https://www.thoughtco.com/the-sacrament-of-holy-communion-542131
¿Qué sucede en mí al comulgar?
(Frutos de la comunión) en profundidad En muchos momentos Jesús les habla a sus discípulos sobre la
importancia de recibirlo en la comunión. A Jesús no le da lo mis-
mo que recibamos o no su cuerpo. Él fue muy claro. Quiso dejar-
nos este pan de vida que nos alimenta, justamente para eso, para
que alimente nuestro interior, para que nos llene de Su vida, nos
transforme y nos haga más parecidos a Él.
¿Qué frutos tiene para mí recibir la comunión?
Acrecienta nuestra unión con Cristo. Recibir la Eucaristía da como
fruto principal la unión íntima con Jesús. El Señor mismo lo dice:
“Quien come mi Carne y bebe mi Sangre habita en mí y yo en
él” (Jn 6,56).
Hace más fuerte y renueva la gracia que recibimos en el Bautismo.
Nos separa del pecado. Al hacernos uno con su cuerpo que es en-
tregado por nuestra salvación y perdón de nuestros pecados, nos
purificamos de los pecados cometidos y nos preservamos de fu-
turos pecados.
Fortalece el amor. Como el alimento sirve para restaurar la pérdida
de fuerzas de nuestro cuerpo, la Eucaristía fortalece la caridad, el
amor, que, en la vida cotidiana, tiende a debilitarse.
La unidad de la Iglesia. Podemos decir que la Eucaristía hace la
Iglesia. Los que reciben la Eucaristía se unen más profundamente a
Jesús, y Él los une a todos en un solo cuerpo: la Iglesia.
No dejemos que estos frutos sean desaprovechados, sino que
verdaderamente alimenten nuestras vidas. Preparemos nuestro co-
razón para que cada vez que comulgamos sepamos aprovechar esta
riqueza invaluable que es comulgar. http://www.conectacec.com/sacramentos-fe-que-sucede-en-mi-al-comulgar/
