“Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race.”
— Revelation 21:3
"From the Padre’s Desk:
Paul’s back! After last week’s “violent abuse,” opponents organized a lynch mob that beat Paul nearly to death. But call Paul the “energizing evangelist,” transforming deadly cruelty into life-giving zeal. Paul’s past courage should inspire our commitment; Revelation’s future “new heaven, new earth” should inspire our optimism. But Revelation’s present assurance, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race,” should challenge us to become “missionaries of mercy.” Because Pope Francis declared that the Church’s credibility is completely dependent on our showing unconditional mercy. Mercy, said Francis, makes the Church, the world, and everyone young again, reawakened to life’s noblest virtues. Fittingly, in today’s Gospel Jesus reinforces that theme: “This is how all will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

“Esta es la morada de Dios con los hombres”.
— Apocalipsis 21:3
"Del escritorio del Padre:
Mis queridos amigos:¡Regresó Pablo! Después del “violento abuso” de la semana pasada, los oponentes organizaron una muchedumbre de linchamiento que golpeó casi hasta la muerte a Pablo. Sin embargo, llama Pablo el “evangelista energizante”, transformando la crueldad mortal en un fervor vivificante. El valor pasado de Pablo debe inspirarnos a nuestro compromiso; el Apocalipsis futuro “nuevo cielo, nueva tierra” debe inspirar nuestro optimismo. Pero el Apocalipsis presente nos asegura: “Esta es la morada de Dios entre los hombres”, debe desafiarnos a hacernos “misioneros de misericordia”. Ya que el Papa Francisco declaró que la credibilidad de la Iglesia está completamente dependiendo de nuestra muestra incondicional de misericordia. La misericordia, como dice Francisco, hace la Iglesia, el mundo y a cada uno joven otra vez, despertando a las virtudes más nobles de la vida. De manera apropiada, en el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús refuerza ese tema: “Así sabrán todos que ustedes son mis discípulos, si se aman unos a los otros”.
En Cristo,
Padre William
