A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,

This week we will be celebrating Confirmation

with just under 100 students. This year we used

a different program called Chosen that has giv-

en us more student interaction. Father Michael

Schmitz is the star of the day on videos and

social media and he is the main presenter. Our

hope is that it be more applicable to the students,

so they get more out of it that is practical and

makes a difference in their lives.

Last weekend we had the Confirmation Retreat

for students and parents. It is always interesting

to hear what people have to say. We all struggle

to raise our kids in this world and have God be

part of it. I found many of their concerns similar

as in years past, but this year we seem to hit a

chord when we spoke of anxiety. It seems that

we all are filled with worries that make us

anxious, especially after the recession 8 years

ago hit. We struggle to feel confident even if

things go well. Our children seem to have much

anxiety too. It hits me that with all the social

media and immediate communication we are

overwhelmed with so much. I find it interesting

that when we go on mission trips and students

do not have their phones they say, “It’s a relief

not to have to keep up with it all.” It is a good

time to ask, “What are we doing to ourselves

and our kids? Do we ever really relax and unplug

anymore?”

Have a Blessed week! Father Paul

Why Do We Do That?—

Catholic Traditions Explained Question: How do you explain "Real Presence" to

children?

Answer: Sometimes it is easier to explain to

children than to adults. Their faith and trust in

Jesus is not limited by the questions and doubts

that often come with the question of how he

does it. Rather they focus on the question why,

and the answer is something they can easily

grasp: love. Christ wants to be with us because

he loves us. Nothing is purer in truth or in faith.

Not even the theological explanation of transub-

stantiation, or philosophical reasoning or sym-

bolic references come close. Christ takes on the

form of bread and wine to be simple and ap-

proachable, so that no one is afraid or turned

away. His love for us is complete and total. We

try to love him the same way in return. For a child

it is simple; for us adults, we keep trying.

"Unless you turn and become like children, you will

not enter the kingdom of heaven" Mt 18:3.

La Biblia Luz y Guía para el Matrimonio y la Familia

Ciertamente, la Biblia es la Palabra de Dios inspirada por

el Espíritu Santo. En ella, Dios se revela a la humanidad y

manifiesta su Plan perfecto para nosotros, el cual po-

demos resumir en solo una palabra: Amor.

El Evangelio según San Juan afirma que Aquel que es la

Palabra se hizo carne y habitó entre nosotros. Por ello

podemos de alguna manera decir que la Biblia es Dios

mismo; y quien la lee está frente al mismo Dios; y el que

está frente a Dios es iluminado, es transfigurado por la

luz que proviene de Dios.

Por ello, el matrimonio y la familia que lee y medita en la

Palabra, juntos la comparten y oran inspirados por ella,

son necesariamente iluminados por el mismo Dios y

transformados en El, quien es el Amor, y llevados a un

compromiso de vida donde reina el Amor. Les invitamos

en este mes de la Biblia a reunirse como matrimonio y

como familia a leer, meditar y orar con la Palabra y le in-

stamos a mantener siempre esta sana costumbre. Y Dios, les dará la luz para entender su mensaje, la

sabiduría para hacer las mejores decisiones, la fuerza

para superar las pruebas y el amor para formar matrimo-

nios y familias ¡que inspiran!

Limpieza de la Iglesia La limpieza de la Iglesia se realiza el

Segundo y Cuarto miércoles del mes

mportante, juntos podemos hacer un

mos días de limpieza son: miércoles

13 de abril, y Miércoles 27. Empeza-

mos a las 5:45 PM. “Le esperamos.”

Porque Jesús Pregunto a Pedro si lo Amaba. Porque Jesús le pregunto a Pedro 3 veces si lo amaba.

“Al final del Evangelio de San Juan aparece la triple con-

fesión que Jesús hace pronunciar a San Pedro delante

de los Apóstoles, sin duda que en el contexto Judío tres

afirmaciones corresponde al cierre de un negocio, en

este contexto con el tono solemne de JESÚS corresponde

a una alianza

Cuál es el "negocio"? Apacentar a la Iglesia en nombre

del Maestro. Por qué? Porque DIOS es un DIOS de orden

y conocía la necesidad de un pastoreo visible para man-

tener la unidad de la Iglesia, recuerda que JESÚS le dijo

al mismo Pedro "Sobre esta piedra edifico MI Iglesia, pe-

ro místicamente tiene también un mensaje muy profun-

do que nos abre una ventana al espíritu de Pedro y a la

obra que el Señor estaba e iba a hacer en él.

En esta triple confesión se utilizan dos de las palabras

que hemos mencionado, ἀγαπάω (agapáô) y φιλέω([philéô) ambas tienen un significado profundo en este

dialogo En esta triple confesión de San Juan 21, 15

comienza Jesús preguntando “ Simón hijo de Juan, me

amas más que estos? Acá Jesús utiliza la palabra AGAPE,

Jesús le dice a Pedro “Pedro me amas con amor divino

como el Padre me ama a mí, con amor de SACRIFICIO?”

A lo que Pedro responde “Tu sabes que te amo” , pero

Pedro acá responde con la palabra “phileo” o sea Pedro

responde “señor tu sabes que te amo como un amigo, o

sea con todas mis emociones.

Jesús le vuelve a preguntar por segunda vez “ Simón hijo

de Juan, me amas más que estos? Acá Jesús vuelve a

utiliza la palabra AGAPE” A lo que Pedro vuelve a re-

sponder “con la palabra “phileo”. O sea, Jesús le pregun-

ta a Pedro, me amas con amor de Dios y Pedro responde

dos veces, “te amo con amor humano”, amor de

emoción. Por tercera vez, Jesús hace la pregunta pero

ahora dándose cuenta de que Pedro aún no ha abierto

su corazón a las cosas de arriba cambia las palabras y

Jesús pregunta: “Simón me amas (phileo) más que es-

tos?” y Pedro sin entender responde “Señor tú lo sabes

todo, tu sabes que de verdad yo te amo (phileo) Ahora si

podemos entender y encaja lo que Jesús dice después:

18 Te aseguro que cuando eras joven tú mismo te

vestías e ibas a donde querías. Pero cuando seas viejo,

extenderás tus brazos, y otro te atará y te llevará a donde

no quieras». Acá Jesús le dice a Pedro “Pedro ahora me

amas con amor humano de emoción (phileo) pero más

adelante me vas a amar con amor divino (ágape) y sa-

brás lo que es pues darás tu vida por mí. Aprendió Pedro

esta lección???

Por supuesto que sí, el Espíritu Santo el día de Pente-

costés irrumpió en el espíritu de Pedro y transformo el

Phileo en Agape… así lo vemos en sus Epístolas 1 Pedro

1:8 a quien amáis sin haberle visto, en quien creyendo,

aunque ahora no lo veáis, os alegráis con gozo inefable y

glorioso.“
