SAINT RITA OF CASCIA                                 (1381‐1457)  May 22 

If you’re ever in Philadelphia on May 22, forget parking anywhere near Saint Rita’s shrine. Cars line streets and fill medians as throngs pack a candlelight vigil and six 

Masses, honoring this patroness of lost causes, hopeless situations, and—as her statue in countless churches built by twentieth‐

century immigrants testifies—difficult marriages, troubled 

homes, and alienated children. Wise people warn, be careful what you pray for. “Divine Savior,” Rita prayed, “let me suffer like you!” Obedient to parents who refused her wish to become a nun, Rita married a man who returned her devotion with twenty years of 

abuse. When enemies murdered him, Rita’s two sons swore re‐

venge. Paintings depict her point‐ing the angry boys toward Christ crucified, whom she begged to restrain them. Within the year, both sons died. Alone now, Rita went to the convent but was re‐fused. The nuns feared violence, since one of them was related to the murderer. Rita arranged peace between the families, made vows, and became much sought after as a counselor and intercessor for forty years on earth—and ever 

since in heaven. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. 

Paluch Co. 

THE REASON FOR OUR HOPE 

“What is the reason for your hope?” Im‐agine somebody coming up to you and asking you that question. Not “What are you hoping for?” or “What are you hop‐ing to do?” No, this isn’t about our de‐sires for possessions or aspirations for 

life, it’s “Why do you hope?” Peter today tells us that we ought to be ready to give an answer to this question. Truth be told, 

few of us spend much time thinking about why we hope. Luckily, the scrip‐tures today give us our answers. We hope because Christ suffered for us, in order that we might come to God. We 

hope because we know that, in the Spirit, God grants us another Advocate through Christ to remain with us always. No mat‐ter what we might hope for, whatever we might hope to do, we must always first know and proclaim the reason for our hope: the presence of God in Christ, with us through the power of the Spirit. 

Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.    

RAZÓN DE NUESTRA ESPERANZA “¿Cuál es la razón de tu esperanza?”. Im‐agina que alguien se te acerca y te hace esa pregunta. No “¿qué es lo que esper‐as?” o ¿qué esperas hacer?”. No; no se trata de los deseos de poseer cosas o de aspiraciones en la vida, sino “¿por qué tienes esperanza?”. Hoy Pedro nos dice que debemos estar dispuestos a re‐

sponder esta pregunta. A decir verdad, pocos son los que se dedican a pensar por qué tenemos esperanza. Por suerte, 

las Escrituras de hoy nos ofrecen la respuesta. Esperamos porque Cristo su‐frió por nosotros, a fin de que podamos venir a Dios. Esperamos porque sabemos que, en el Espíritu, Dios nos concede otro Defensor en Cristo que permanecerá con nosotros por siempre. Sin importar lo que podamos esperar, o lo que espera‐mos poder hacer, siempre debemos sa‐ber y proclamar la razón de nuestra es‐peranza: la presencia de Dios en Cristo con nosotros por el poder del Espíritu.

May16‐17‐SixthSundayofEaster

Through the Risen Christ, we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit

that ills us with hope and joy, even in the face of suffering. This same Spirit show-ers us with a love and truth that is be-

yond “worldly” standards and wisdom. It is God’s Spirit that transforms us from a mere collection of isolated individuals or strangers into a community of brothers and sisters. This solidarity, the fruit of the Spirit, “presumes the creation of a new mindset which thinks in terms of

community and the priority of life of all over the appropriation of goods by a

few.” (The Joy of the Gospel, 188)

Mayo16‐17SextoDomingodePascua

A traves del Cristo Resucitado, se nos da el don del Espı ritu Santo. Es el Espı ritu el

que nos llena de esperanza y gozo, in-cluso enfrente del sufrimiento. Este mis-

mo Espı ritu nos bana con un amor y verdad que estan mas alla de los

estandares y la sabidurı a “terrenal”. Es el Espı ritu de Dios el que nos transforma,

de un grupo de individuos solos o extra-nos, en una comunidad de hermanos y hermanas. Esta solidaridad, el fruto del Espı ritu, “presume la creacion de una

nueva mentalidad la cual piensa en terminos de comunidad y de la prioridad de la vida sobre la apropiacion de bienes

por unos pocos”. (El Gozo del Evangelio, 188).
