Sacred Heart Catholic Church The Ascension of the Lord –May 13, 2018

Reflection from the Pastor:

Today’s First Reading is the opening chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.

This book, like St. Luke’s Gospel, are traditionally believed to form one

complete story that covers the Incarnation of Jesus to the spread of the

Christian faith by Jesus’ disciples. It is the story of how God has saved the

world. The message is for everyone, but it is addressed to one person,

Theophilus. The name means “Friend of God”, and could either be a proper

name or an honorary title, both being commonly

used in that era. We don’t know who Theophilus

was; however, there is a Catholic novelist named

Michael D. O’Brien who wrote a novel called

Theophilos (note the spelling difference). It is the

story of who Theophilus the man might have

been. Without giving away too much of the story,

Theophilus is the adoptive father of Saint Luke.

The story is about how Theophilus comes to faith

in Christ through learning about the life of his

adoptive son, Luke. I highly recommend you put

this book on your summer reading list.

Meditación del Párroco: La primera lectura de hoy es el primer capítulo de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Se cree tradicionalmente que este

libro, como el Evangelio de San Lucas, forman una historia completa que explica la fe católica desde la

Encarnación de Jesús hasta la difusión de la fe cristiana por parte de los discípulos de Jesús. Es la historia de

cómo Dios ha salvado el mundo. El mensaje es para todos, pero está dirigido a una persona, Teófilo. El nombre

significa "Amigo de Dios", y podría ser un nombre propio o un título honorífico, ambos comúnmente utilizados

en aquella época. No sabemos quién era Teófilo; sin embargo, hay un novelista católico llamado Michael D.

O'Brien que escribió una novela llamada Theophilos (tenga en cuenta la diferencia de ortografía). Es la historia de

quién pudo haber sido la persona Teófilo. Sin revelar demasiado de la historia, Teófilo es el padre adoptivo de

San Lucas. La historia trata de cómo Teófilo llega a la fe en Cristo a través del aprendizaje sobre la vida de su

hijo adoptivo, Lucas. Le recomiendo que ponga este libro en su lista de lectura de verano.
