Why go to Church?

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church? A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained

that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years

now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons.

But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm

wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much

to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this

clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some

32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a

single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave

me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these

meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church

for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN

to Nothing.....God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the

incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our

spiritual nourishment!

Father Augustine

QUÉDATE CON NOSOTROS, SEÑOR

Camina con nosotros, Señor, por el camino de tu resurrección. Explícanos a nosotros, tardos para creer, lo que la Escritura nos dice de ti. Parte el pan de la Eucaristía con nosotros cuando compartimos nuestras vidas con los hermanos y hermanas. Quédate con nosotros cada vez que se acerca la noche y la luz se apaga en nuestros corazones. —De Oraciones Biblicas por Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright © 1979, Lucien Deiss. Publicado por World Library Publications. p.52.

RECONOZCAN A JESÚS

San Pedro nos habla dos veces hoy. En la primera lectura, escuchamos una parte de su sermón el día de Pente-costés; en la segunda, parte de su primera carta. Antes, un pescador asus-tado y sin mucha educación que a menudo decía lo que no debía, ahora dice lo que él sabe es la verdad. Todo lo que Jesús había dicho ahora tiene sentido. Su muerte y resurrección eran parte del plan de Dios y nuestra fe y esperanza se pueden centrar en Dios.

El Evangelio de hoy nos relata la historia de la caminata de Jesús hacia Emaús con dos de los discípulos. Asustados, tristes y confusos, ninguno de los dos reconoció a Jesús, quien les dice lo mismo que escuchamos de Pedro en la lectura anterior: todo eso sucedió como parte del plan de Dios. Al final, los discípulos reconocieron a Jesús por la misma acción que nosotros debe-mos reconocerlo— al partir el Pan.Copyright © J. S.

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — No era posible que Jesús quedara bajo el dominio de la muerte

(Hechos 2:14, 22-33).

Salmo — Señor, nos mostrarás el sendero de vida (Salmo 16 [17]).

Segunda lectura — Han sido salvados por la Sangre preciosa de Cristo, como con un cordero sin mancha ni defecto. (1 Pedro 1:17-21).

Evangelio — Reconocieron a Jesús en la fracción del pan (Juan 24:13-35).
