GESÙ PROMETTE AI SUOI DISCEPOLI IL DONO DELLO SPIRITO
VI DOMENICA DI PASQUA
IN questa domenica del Tempo Pasquale la I Lettura pone alla nostra attenzione la prima comunità cristiana.
L’assemblea di Gerusalemme, di fronte al problema dei cristiani provenienti dal paganesimo, vede gli
apostoli e gli anziani decidere, sotto l’azione dello Spirito Santo, di non imporre loro più obblighi di quelli
indispensabili. Gesù nel Vangelo definisce lo Spirito Santo Paraclito, cioè «colui che ha il compito di
comunicare la verità di Dio», nella sua interezza: la persona e il messaggio di Gesù Cristo.
Il Signore Gesù, vero Maestro e vero Pastore, manifesta il suo amore concreto verso i discepoli, e, attraverso
di loro, verso tutti coloro che crederanno nel suo nome, mediante il dono del Paraclito, lo Spirito Santo che è
la sua stessa vita. I credenti, animati da questo Spirito, potranno vivere con amore, nella loro esperienza
quotidiana, le parole e i gesti del Signore e testimoniarlo. Sarà proprio lo Spirito a guidarli verso la nuova
Gerusalemme, venuta dal Cielo, da Dio, figura e immagine della Chiesa nel tempo, in cammino verso
l’eternità, città che non ha un tempio, perché il Signore Dio, l’Onnipotente, e l’Agnello, sono il suo tempio (II
Lettura). Giuseppe Lipari
6th SUNDAY OF EASTER
DID YOU EVER know a family that didn’t have disagreements? Members of families often squabble over things trivial to
cataclysmic. But when the disagreement passes, peace is restored and the family emerges stronger.
This is true of the Church as well, as we hear in today’s readings. There were disagreements when the groups the apostles
left behind wrestled with questions of how to separate cultural practices from the essentials of Scripture. There are still
differences today as bishops around the globe try to reconcile Christ’s teachings in a world of clashing cultures.
The apostles had no road map to the New Jerusalem – the city of peace – beautifully and mystically described in Revelation.
But Jesus gave them a key to unlock the mystery: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you… Do not let your hearts
be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
This is no ordinary peace. It is a peace that is alive and leavened with compassion and justice. “The Holy Spirit… will teach
you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you." ”The Holy Spirit is alive today, guiding the Church in the
perpetual reinterpretation of the gospel. These words are as relevant today as they were at the beginning. This is the
eternal peace we are promised. Patrick M. Doyle, Carlton Place, ON

REFLECTIONS for the Year of Mercy –
May 1, 2016 - Sixth Sunday of Easter
In formal documents, presentations,
and homilies outlining the purpose
of this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope
Francis explains that compassion
and understanding for those in
difficult situations is not only our
individual
responsibility,
but
something the whole Church
officially needs to manifest. Today’s Acts of the
Apostles reading presents a moving example of
the early church doing precisely that. Prayerful
openness to the Holy Spirit assures the assembly
that they have not acted alone in discerning the
correct resolution: “It is the decision of the Holy
Spirit and of us.” And they have chosen the
compassionate response: “not to place on you
any burden beyond these necessities” (Acts
15:28). Yet how daringly creative—the Jewish
majority sets aside lifelong rituals that establish
spiritual identity and express covenant fidelity.
How radically trustful—the church affirms
universally valid principles while respecting
uniquely local and personal situations. Exactly the
grace Pope Francis prays this Jubilee Year will
renew in today’s Church!

UPCOMING PARISH EVENTS
Year of Mercy Talk No. 3
By Archbishop Richard Smith
Come and spend an evening with
Archbishop Richard Smith on May 31, 2016
(Tuesday) at the church, and listen to him
speak on the Year of Mercy.
Mass will be at 6:30 p.m. then starting at
7:00 he will lead us in our study and
reflection. Everyone is invited.
This is the third part of the continuing
special reflections and studies about the Year
of Mercy that we started last January 21. Fr.
Stefano Penna was our resource speaker in
the previous two sessions. Join us as we
reflect together with the Archbishop on
God’s mercy and how we are called to live it
out through the corporal and spiritual works
of mercy. What better way to fully
experience and live out the Extraordinary
Jubilee Year of Mercy than by taking part in
this adult faith formation series? So let us all
come and participate in this very important
activity of our Parish. Coffee will follow at
the Hall.
Also, as we know, the Archbishop has
recently concluded the series of five (5)
sessions of “Every Life Matters” held in
different parishes of the archdiocese. We
look forward to Archbishop Smith sharing
with us his insights and thoughts on what
had happened during these sessions and their
profound significance and impact on our
lives primarily as Catholic faithful.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Santa Maria Goretti Chapter
Your SMG Knights meet once a month at our
Centre, every fourth Tuesday. It's a nice,
informal get-together of a few parishioners who
have a commitment to charity and helping our
parish. This volunteer work is entirely up to
one's ability to contribute time and energy. We
have made wonderful connections with our
community members and we'd love to see more
of our parishioners consider joining us! Please
give Tony a call at 780-297-4479 for more info.
Thank you to all our Parishioners who partake
in our church community. It is your efforts that
keep us strong! And a special mention to all of
you who do charitable works. It is fundamental
to our Catholic faith that we find ways to aid
those with challenges in their lives. Our
beloved Pope Francis has made it a priority in
his mission.
As a community, we are only as strong as the
weakest, so it is incumbent upon us to help.
God's blessings to all, have a great week!
