Jesús no nos dejará solos. No nos hará hijos de Dios en el Bautismo, sólo para dejarnos “huérfanos”. Él nos lo garantiza
en el Evangelio de hoy (cf. Rm 8,14-17). Le pide al Padre que nos de su Espíritu para que more en nosotros y nos man-
tenga unidos en la vida que Él comparte con el Padre. En la primera lectura de hoy vemos que el don prometido del su
Espíritu es conferido. La escena que describe Hechos, aparentemente representa el rito primitivo de la Confirmación.
Felipe, uno de los primeros diáconos (cf. Hch 6,5), proclama el Evangelio en la ciudad de Samaria (no judía). Los sa-
maritanos aceptan la Palabra de Dios (cf. Hch 17,11; 1Ts 2,13) y son bautizados. Toca a los Apóstoles enviar a sus rep-
resentantes, Pedro y Juan, para rezar e imponer las manos en los nuevos bautizados, y que así ellos reciban el Espíritu
Santo. Este es el origen de nuestro sacramento de la Confirmación (Hch 19,5-6), mediante el cual la gracia del Bautismo
es completada, y los creyentes son sellados con el Espíritu prometido por el Señor. Nosotros permanecemos en esa gra-
cia mientras amemos a Cristo y guardemos sus mandamientos. Y, fortalecidos por el Espíritu -de quien Jesús dijo que
sería nuestro Paráclito (Defensor)-, estamos llamados ser testigos de nuestra salvación; de las grandes maravillas que
Dios ha hecho por nosotros en el nombre de su Hijo. En el salmo de hoy celebramos nuestra liberación. Como escu-
chamos en la epístola, así como Yahvé cambió el mar por tierra seca para liberar a los israelitas cautivos, Cristo sufrió
para poder conducirnos a Dios. Esa es la razón de nuestra esperanza. Esperanza que nos sostiene frente a un mundo
que no puede aceptar la verdad de Dios; esperanza que nos mantiene firmes cuando somos maldecidos o difamados por
su Nombre. Pedro nos dice hoy que, aunque Cristo fue muerto en la carne, en el Espíritu fue devuelto a la vida. Y, co-
mo Él mismo promete: “Porque yo vivo, también vosotros viviréis”.
Sunday Bible Reflection by Dr. Scott Hahn
Jesus will not leave us alone. He won't make us children of God in Baptism only to leave us "orphans," He assures us in today's Gospel (see Romans 8:14-17) .He asks the Father to give us His Spirit, to dwell with us and keep us united in the life He shares with the Father. We see the promised gift of His Spirit being conferred in today's First Reading. The scene from Acts apparently depicts a primitive Confirmation rite. Philip, one of the first deacons (see Acts 6:5), proclaims the Gospel in the non-Jewish city of Samaria. The Samaritans accept the Word of God (see Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians 2:13) and are baptized. It remains for the Apostles to send their representatives, Peter and John, to pray and lay hands on the newly baptized—that they might receive the Holy Spirit. This is the origin of our sacrament of Confirmation (see Acts 19:5-6), by which the grace of Baptism is completed and believers are sealed with the Spirit promised by the Lord. We remain in this grace so long as we love Christ and keep His commandments. And strength-ened in the Spirit whom Jesus said would be our Advocate, we are called to bear witness to our salvation—to the tre-mendous deeds that God has done for us in the name of His Son. In today's Psalm, we celebrate our liberation. As He changed the sea into dry land to free the captive Israelites, Christ suffered that He might lead us to God, as we hear in today's Epistle. This is the reason for our hope—the hope that sustains us in the face of a world that cannot accept His truth, the hope that sustains us when we are maligned and defamed for His name's sake. Put to death in the flesh, He was brought to life in the Spirit, Paul tells us today. And as He himself promises: "Because I live, you will live."
TEMA DO 6º DOMINGO DA PÁSCOA
A liturgia do 6º Domingo da Páscoa convida-nos a descobrir a presença – discreta, mas eficaz e tranquilizadora – de Deus na caminhada histórica da Igreja. A promessa de Jesus – “não vos deixarei órfãos” – pode ser uma boa síntese do tema. O Evangelho apresenta-nos parte do “testamento” de Jesus, na ceia de despedida, em Quinta-feira Santa. Aos discípulos, inquietos e assustados, Jesus promete o “Paráclito”: Ele conduzirá a comunidade cristã em direcção à verdade; e levá-la-á a uma comunhão cada vez mais íntima com Jesus e com o Pai. Dessa forma, a comunidade será a “morada de Deus” no mundo e dará testemunho da salvação que Deus quer oferecer aos homens. A primeira leitura mostra exactamente a comunidade cristã a dar testemunho da Boa Nova de Jesus e a ser uma presença libertadora e salvadora na vida dos homens. Avisa, no entanto, que o Espírito só se manifestará e só actuará quando a comunidade aceitar viver a sua fé integrada numa família universal de irmãos, reunidos à volta do Pai e de Jesus. A segunda leitura exorta os crentes – confrontados com a hostilidade do mundo – a terem confiança, a darem um testemunho sereno da sua fé, a mostrarem o seu amor a todos os homens, mesmo aos perseguidores. Cristo, que fez da sua vida um dom de amor a todos, deve ser o modelo que os cristãos têm sempre diante dos olhos. Portal Dos Dehonianos

“FORMED” - Free to all St. Cecilia Parishioners
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.
(Jeremiah 1:5)
God is a potter who wants to form
out of the clay of our lives something
beautiful.
Formed.org is not just a website to
teach us intellectual ideas or Catholic
doctrine, but an instrument God
wants to use to form us into the persons we were meant to
be.
I’m excited about this organization that we have
contracted with to be available to our parish providing
parish good solid catholic formation.
I hope you will take the time to look at it.

PRIESTS ORDINATION
On May 27, seven men will be
ordained as priests at the
Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred
Heart in Newark. Five of the
men are resident seminarians of Immaculate Conception
Seminary; one is a resident seminarian of Redemptoris
Mater; and one studied at the Pontifical North American
College in Rome. Rev. Mr. Philip Micele said, “I am
deeply grateful for all the support, both financial and
spiritual, which the people of the Archdiocese of Newark
have provided us. Their contributions enable us to have
access to excellent professors and formaters who help us
to grow as men of prayer, and come to know and love the
Lord and his church more deeply. During my years as a
seminarian, I can say I've experienced a lot of personal
growth, and so much of that is due to the generosity of
the people of the Archdiocese of Newark.” Although
each new priest took a different journey in responding to
God’s call, all of them share a deep humility at being
called to the priesthood and the common desire to do the
will of God and serve His Church. Thank you for your
support of the Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal
which provides funding to our seminaries.
