THE GIFT OF PEACE “There arose no little dissension and debate.” Did that happen at work this week? Most of us can recall run-ins with coworkers, even with the boss. Did it happen while socializing with friends? Go easy on politics, religion . . . even sports. At home? Even the most peaceful household experiences a little “give and take” now and then. So where was it that “there arose no little dissension and debate”? That tumultuous conflict occurred among our first Christian ancestors, disrupting the community life of the early church. But today’s Acts of the Apostles shows how beautifully the Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus in today’s Gospel, helped the church achieve a grace-filled resolution. What evolved was that “reconciled diversity,” often encouraged by Pope Francis and even envisioned in today’s Revelation passage; and a wondrous experience of Jesus’ promised Gospel gift: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”

EL DON DE LA PAZ “Surgieron no pocos desacuerdos y debates”. ¿Pasó eso en el trabajo esta semana? Muchos de nosotros pueden re-cordar algunos roces con compañeros de traba-jo, incluso con el jefe. ¿Pasó también mientras socializaba con amigos? Evita hablar de política, religión . . . incluso de deportes. ¿En casa? Incluso el hogar más pacífico experimenta un poco de “estira y afloja” de vez en cuando. Entonces ¿dónde fue que “surgieron no po-cos desacuerdos y debates”? Ese tumultuoso conflicto ocu-rrió en medio de nuestros primeros hermanos cristia-nos, interrumpiendo la vida de la comunidad de la Iglesia primitiva. Pero en los Hechos de los Apóstoles muestra cuán bello es el Espíritu Santo, prometido por Jesús en el Evange-lio de hoy, que ayudó a la Iglesia a lograr una decisión llena de gracia. Lo que evolucionó fue que la “diversidad reconci-liada” frecuentemente animada por el Papa Francisco e in-cluso previstas en el pasaje de hoy del Apocalipsis y una experiencia maravillosa del don de Jesús prometido por Je-sús: “La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy”.
