Second Sunday of Easter X-treme Christians

You may notice that Acts of the Apostles is the source of

the first reading during the Easter season. This book describes how Christianity grew from a handful of disciples to a major religion. Today's reading about an ideal Christian community is meant to show ordinary believers how to be extraordinary,

using three examples I call power, property, and prayer. Power means the "signs and wonders" (Acts 2:43) performed

by the disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit. This should be named last, because it takes a lot of faith to heal the sick. "Of course, we can visit the sick and comfort the dying. Just leave it up to God to cure anyone," you might say. If you had the same faith as the apostles, you just might be able to

cure the sick. Or you might study to become a doctor and cure them with medical skills. As long as you acknowledge that God gave you the brains and the talent to become a doctor,

you are doing God's work. By property, I mean sharing what you have with those in

need. Many disciples were moved to sell their goods and share them with the poor, and word of that must have spread. If you are not called to sell all your goods and become a monk or a nun, you can still tithe to your church or the poor. You can donate time as well, perhaps tutoring disadvantaged kids,

helping build or repair houses in poor areas, or bringing meals to shut-ins. The point is that followers of Christ are not just

individual do-gooders. They are a community of believers who care about each other and also care about the non-believers

who need help of any kind. So where did these first disciples get the faith to cure the sick and the love to help the needy? The answer is the third

example--prayer. Twice in the first reading we hear how "they devoted themselves . . . to the breaking of the bread" (Acts 2:42, 46). Breaking bread was their name for the Eucharist.

They also went to the temple to pray, because at that time most disciples were Jewish Christians. As they heard the Hebrew scriptures, they saw how God's promises were fulfilled in

Christ. Later, they added reading from the letters of Paul and preaching about Jesus' works and teachings. All of these practices helped unite them to Christ and to each other.

VER ES CREER En la lectura del pasaje de los Hechos de los Apóstoles leemos de una versión idealizada de lo que las primeras comunidades

fueron. Las personas están dedicadas a la comunidad, a la enseñanza, a la Eucaristía y al sacrificio. Muchos signos y

milagros sucedieron. Primero Pedro ofrece una imagen más realista pues el tiempo ha pasado y los creyentes siguen espe-rando. La fe se pone a prueba por el paso del tiempo y el sufri-miento que es parte de la vida. En el Evangelio, los discípulos están sobrecargados por los eventos recientes. Eso es todo de lo que pueden hablar. El pobre de Tomás se perdió de la visita de Jesús resucitado a los discípulos en la habitación cerrada. Él está enojado y rechaza compartir la emoción o aún creer lo que ocurrió. Así que Jesús se aparece una vez más, está vez Tomás

está presente. Jesús le dice que lo toque y meta sus dedos en las heridas para que Tomás pueda creer. Jesús luego le recuer-da a Tomás y a nosotros que hay algo más que creer que está

más allá de la realidad física.

¿O NO? Somos como Tomás más frecuentemente de lo que podríamos pensar. Nos alteramos cuando no podemos ver directamente o experimentar los resultados de nuestra fe. Queremos alguna evidencia por todos los años de fe y lucha cuando parece tan

poco que ver de nuestra fe. El error que Tomás hizo y que nosotros hacemos es pensar que si pudiéramos solo ver alguna

evidencia que nuestra fe hace una diferencia, entonces sería más fácil tener fe. Pero no es la evidencia lo que hace la fe

posible. Tomás no aumenta su fe porque él pone su mano en las heridas de Jesús. Tomás aumenta su fe porque Jesús

regresa. Jesús regresa una y otra vez. Jesús regresa cada vez que invocamos su presencia en nuestra vida porque Jesús

nunca nos deja. Tomás solo tuvo que pedirlo. Nosotros necesitamos solo pedir.

El Papa Francisco nos llama a “edificar nuestras vidas en los esencial”. Ser Católico significa ser parte de una familia mas grande de fe. Nuestro Llamado Católico moviliza a nuestra

familia diocesana a ayudar a ministerios que benefician a mucho mas gentes que lo que podríamos solos.
