May they experience God s healing love and comfort. Special Memorial Mass In loving memory May 26th, 8:00 For: Joan R. Tourville by: Elaine Robinson May 19, th Sunday of Easter By Joan DeMerchant Introduction We live in a caustic environment, where kindness, love or renewal are often mocked as soft or unrealistic. It can be legitimately discouraging. But the word from the beginning was that it would not be easy, and the pathway would be through pain. Nothing is achieved without imagination, and today s readings provide a vision for those of us willing to continue the quest for something new. Like the early Christians, we can help to create a renewed earth. Prayer of the Faithful Let us pray now for the needs of the world and for the work to which we are called. For the pope and all the church s leaders, that their vision, words and actions may witness to a deep love for the whole human race and the Earth itself, we pray: In gratitude for great visionaries who have illuminated our way; for Oscar Romero, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and others, we pray: For an awareness of our call to bring vision to life in our corner of the Earth, through our often-meagre attempts and floundering commitment, we pray: For those who are graduating full of hope for the possibility of contributing to a better world, and for work that fulfills their dreams, we pray: For those with visions based on racism, greed or protecting the status quo, that their hearts and minds open to something larger and more beautiful, we pray: For those too sick, too worried or in too much pain to attend to a larger vision of life; and for the compassion to understand them and serve their needs, we pray: PRAYER: God who makes all things new, empower us. We pray that we may dream of a new Earth in which your love permeates everyone and everything. Give us the courage to resist our reticence, take risks and deal with barriers and setbacks, as Jesus early followers did in building the church. We ask this in the name of the One who glorified you. Amen. Celebration Publications May 2019

5 Como eu vos amei, assim também vós deveis amar-vos uns aos outros. V Domingo do Tempo Pascal (Ano C): At 14,21b-27; Sl 144(145); Ap 21,1-5a; Jo 13,31-33a O evangelho faz parte dos discursos de despedida (caps ) e apresenta o novo mandamento do amor fraterno no contexto da última ceia. O Pai é glorificado no Filho exaltado na cruz, com sua vitória sobre a morte pela ressurreição. Como um pai que deixa um testamento aos filhos, Jesus se dirige aos discípulos, dizendo: Eu vos dou um novo mandamento: Amai-vos uns aos outros, como eu vos amei (13,34). Assim, o Mestre Jesus oferece um sentido novo ao mandamento do amor ao próximo (cf. Mc 12,31; Lv 19,18), mediante a entrega da própria vida por amor. O amor mútuo torna-se o sinal distintivo dos seguidores/as de Cristo: Nisto conhecerão que sois meus discípulos: se vos amardes uns aos outros (13,35). Trata- -se de um amor gratuito, recíproco, manifestado em gestos concretos de solidariedade. Antes de manifestar o amor extremo na cruz, Jesus ora pela fidelidade dos discípulos, para que o amor com que o Pai o amou esteja neles, e ele mesmo esteja neles (17,26). Na 1ª leitura, Paulo e Barnabé visitam as novas comunidades e instituem lideranças locais, para que permaneçam firmes na fé. Concluindo a primeira viagem missionária, eles retornam à Antioquia da Síria e narram as maravilhas que Deus realizou através deles, abrindo a porta da fé para os gentios. O salmo é um canto de louvor a Deus, pois ele é bom e compassivo com todas as criaturas. Deus permanece conosco, para manter vivo o sonho de um novo céu e uma nova terra, uma nova Jerusalém (2ª leitura). A salvação se manifesta realizando a nova criação, a vitória completa da vida sobre a morte, o caos, a destruição. A entrega de Cristo por amor fortalece a nossa missão de discípulos/as diante dos desafios e sofrimentos por causa do evangelho. Amando-nos mutuamente como Jesus nos tem amado, cooperamos para criar um mundo novo e glorificar o Pai que veio morar conosco. Ao redor das mesas da Palavra e da Eucaristia antecipamos o sonho de novos céus e nova terra, onde não haverá luto, nem choro, nem dor. Com fé anunciamos a uma só voz a morte do Senhor, proclamamos sua ressurreição com a certeza de sua vinda definitiva. (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração Deus, Pai de bondade, que nos redimistes e adotastes como filhos e filhas, concedei aos que creem no Cristo a liberdade verdadeira e a herança eterna. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.
