It would also be very helpful if we knew your room number. Federal Privacy Regulation – HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), prohibits all hospitals from informing churches of a patient’s presence unless the patient gives permission for the hospital to do so. IMPORTANTE: Si vas a estar hospitalizado, notifica en la oficina de nuestra iglesia , en qué hospital vas a estar. Ayudaría además, que posteriormente nos indiques el número de la habitación. La Regulación Federal de la Privacidad – HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), prohíbe a los hospitales dar información de pacientes ,a menos que el paciente lo autorize.

Year of the Eucharist The theme for the year is “Stay with us, Lord” based on Luke 24:13-35 describing the Road to Emmaus when disciples urged our Lord, “’Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.’ So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.” Año de la Eucaristía El tema para el año es "Quédate con nosotros, Señor", basado en Lucas 24: 13-35, que describe el Camino a Emaús cuando los discípulos instaron a nuestro Señor: "Quédate con nosotros, ya está cayendo la tarde y se termina el día. 'Entró pués para quedarse con ellos. Y mientras estaba en la mesa con ellos, tomó el pan, pronunció la bendición, lo partió y se lo dio. En ese momento se les abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron, pero él desapareció.”

LOVE ONE ANOTHER In the Gospel for the Sixth Sunday of Easter we are met with an extraordinary challenge: Jesus commands us to “love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). The letter from John echoes this command. Of course, we are to love those in our family, those we work with, those we like. But the scriptures make clear that we are also to love those we never notice, those we purposely avoid, and even those we are tempted to despise. In this Sunday’s selection from the Acts of the Apostles Peter shows us how far God’s love extends, and how far our love should extend in response. Peter realizes that God no longer “shows partiality” to the Jews, sharing divine love exclusively with them. Christ has revealed that God’s love extends to all people, and so should ours.

ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS En el Evangelio para el Sexto Domingo de Pascua nos encontramos con un desafío extraordinario. Jesús nos dice: “ámense unos a otros como yo los he ama-do” (Juan 15:12). La carta del apóstol san Juan retoma este mandamiento. Por supuesto, debemos amar a nuestros familiares, nuestros colegas, las personas que nos agradan. Pero la Sagrada Escritura aclara que también debemos amar a los que ignoramos, a los que evitamos deliberadamente e incluso a los que nos sentimos tentados de despreciar. En la selección de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este domingo, Pedro nos muestra hasta dónde llega el amor de Dios y hasta dónde debe llegar nuestra respuesta de amor. Pedro comprende que Dios ya “no hace distinciones” y no comparte su amor divino exclusivamente con los judíos. Cristo ha revelado que el amor de Dios llega a todas las personas y lo mismo debe hacer el nuestro. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
