Sixth Sunday of Easter Part of the first reading from Acts that we don’t hear is a vision Peter has, in which God tells him that all foods are OK to eat; no longer are some unclean. He later realizes that the vision was a symbol that all people are “clean,” Gen les as well as Jews. Not all of the early Chris ans understood. The Jewish Chris ans were shocked that the Holy Spirit would give gi s, such as speaking in tongues, to Gen les. Especially Gen les who had not been bap zed. Now the dis nc on between Gen le and Jewish Chris ans doesn’t seem very important today. But we s ll need to follow St. Peter’s example of sharing our faith in Jesus. Does that mean we should drag any non-believers we meet to church on Sunday? Should we brag about how much we love God? Today’s gospel gives us a hint at what we can do to bring others to Christ. Jesus makes it sound simple: Love one another as I love you. (Jn 15:12) The second reading from John tells us that love is not people loving God; it’s that God loved us first, enough to send his Son to die for us. We may think that we have chosen to love and follow Jesus, but as the gospel tells us, Jesus chose us before we ever chose him. So maybe that part about loving others as Jesus loves us is this: are we willing to love others without requiring that they love us first? How can we do that? I can introduce myself to someone new to the parish that I see in church. I can offer to help the poor without wai ng for the pastor to beg. I can make a priority of seeing what I can do for others, instead of what they can do for me. Perhaps part of our daily prayer can be asking God to show us who needs our love today.

Quinto Domingo de Pascua Parte de la primera lectura de Hechos que no escuchamos es una visión que ene Pedro, en la que Dios le dice que todos los alimentos están bien para comer; ya no son unos impuros. Más tarde se da cuenta de que la visión era un símbolo de que todas las personas son "limpias", tanto gen les como judíos. No todos los primeros cris anos entendieron. Los cris anos judíos estaban sorprendidos de que el Espíritu Santo diera regalos, como hablar en lenguas, a los gen les. Especialmente gen les que no habían sido bau zados. Ahora la dis nción entre cris anos gen les y judíos no parece muy importante hoy en día. Pero todavía tenemos que seguir el ejemplo de San Pedro de compar r nuestra fe en Jesús. ¿Significa eso que debemos arrastrar a los no creyentes que nos reunimos a la iglesia el domingo? ¿Debemos presumir de cuánto amamos a Dios? El Evangelio de hoy nos da una pista de lo que podemos hacer para traer a los demás a Cristo. Jesús hace que suene simple: Ámense unos a otros como yo los amo. (Jn 15:12) La segunda lectura de Juan nos dice que el amor no es gente que ama a Dios; es que Dios nos amó primero, suficiente para enviar a su Hijo a morir por nosotros. Podemos pensar que hemos elegido amar y seguir a Jesús, pero como el Evangelio nos dice, Jesús nos eligió antes de elegirlo. Así que tal vez esa parte acerca de amar a los demás como Jesús nos ama es la siguiente: ¿estamos dispuestos a amar a los demás sin exigir que primero nos amen? ¿Cómo podemos hacer eso? Puedo presentarme a alguien nuevo en la parroquia que veo en la iglesia. Puedo ofrecer ayudar a los pobres sin esperar a que el pastor me lo pida. Puedo hacer una prioridad de ver lo que puedo hacer por los demás, en lugar de lo que pueden hacer por mí. Tal vez parte de nuestra oración diaria pueda estar pidiendo a Dios que nos muestre quién necesita nuestro amor hoy. Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
