1 May 6, 2018 Sixth Sunday of Easter St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois The baptism of the Roman Centurion Cornelius and his household. St. Cornelius the Centurion is the first Gentile, non-jew, to be accepted into the Church.

2 Fr. Bob s Briefs On this Sixth Sunday of Easter, we hear about the Baptism of Cornelius in today s First Reading, from the Acts of the Apostles. Today s reading begins with St. Peter entering Cornelius house. It is helpful to know and read what precedes today s reading. We read earlier in the Acts 10 that there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, who was a captain in the Roman army regiment called the Italian Cohort. Cornelius was a centurion in the Roman Empire's Cohors II Italica Civium Romanorum, which was stationed in Caesarea, the capital of Roman Iudaea province, to keep the Pax Romana (Roman Peace). The Acts of the Apostles describes Cornelius as a devout and God-fearing man along with his whole household. In addition, although he was a pagan Roman soldier, he was known for his good work, gave alms to Jewish people, and prayed to God constantly (Acts 10:3). One day, around three o'clock in the afternoon, he had a vision, in which he clearly saw an angel of God come in and say to him, "Cornelius!" He stared at the angel in fear and said, "What is it, sir?" The angel answered, "God is pleased with your prayers and works of charity, and is ready to answer you. The angel instructs the centurion to send his envoys to find St. Peter who was at that point, staying with a Christian tanner named Simon in Joppa. At the same time that the centurion Cornelius received his vision, St. Peter received a vision in which God releases him and all Christians from the strict dietary restrictions of Mosaic Law (Acts 10:10 16). When Cornelius' men arrive, Peter realizes that the vision he received referred to the Roman centurion and all other gentiles who wish to convert to the Church. He accompanies Cornelius' men back to Caesarea. When Cornelius sees Peter, he falls at the St. Peter s feet. This is the point where we begin today s First Reading. St. Peter teaches Cornelius and his household of Jesus' life, Passion and Resurrection. At that point, the Holy Spirit descends on everyone present and Cornelius and other gentiles speak in tongues and praise God. He and his household then accepted Baptism. St. Cornelius the Centurion is the first Gentile, non-jew, to be accepted into the Church. With the baptism of Cornelius, his whole family and household (all his servants and their families), all Gentiles, non- Jews, were also baptized and entered into the Church. The image that we see is a fresco on the wall of the sacristy of St. Peter s Basilica in Rome, by Perugia, of St. Peter baptizing Cornelius. The baptism of Cornelius is a fundamentally important event in the history of the Early Church. Prior to him, only Jews had converted to Christianity. The baptism of the Roman centurion Cornelius and his household is connected to today s Gospel. From the Gospel of John today, we hear Jesus say, "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete. St. Augustine, preaching on this Gospel passage, teaches us, what is Christ s joy in us? And what is our joy, which He says shall be full, but to have fellowship with Him. The baptism of Cornelius and his household shows us that God extends his friendship to Jews and Gentiles (non-jews) alike. Jesus desires to become the friend of every person. This is the joy that we are all called to share with the people around us. If we truly want our friends to have joy, then we must bring them Jesus. We must introduce them about Jesus, like St. Peter did with Cornelius, so that they may know the joy of friendship with Jesus. Congratulations to our students from our parochial school and Religious Education program who received their First Holy Communion this Saturday, May 5, May they come with their parents and families to Jesus their friend every Sunday, and may receiving Jesus in the Eucharist always fill them with joy. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care, and may St. Joseph pray for us. Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

3 Informes del Padre Bob En este sexto domingo de Pascua, escuchamos acerca del Bautismo de Cornelio en la Primera lectura de hoy, de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. La lectura de hoy comienza cuando San Pedro entra a la casa de Cornelio. Es útil saber y leer lo que precede a la lectura de hoy. Leemos antes en Hechos 10 que había un hombre en Cesarea llamado Cornelio, que era un capitán del regimiento del ejército romano llamado Cohorte italiana. Cornelio fue un centurión en la Cohors II Italica Civium Romanorum del Imperio Romano, que estaba estacionado en Cesarea, la capital de la provincia romana de Iudaea, para mantener la Pax Romana (Paz Romana). Los Hechos de los Apóstoles describen a Cornelio como un "hombre devoto y temeroso de Dios junto con toda su casa". Además, aunque era un soldado romano pagano, era conocido por su buen trabajo, le daba limosna a los judíos y oraba a Dios constantemente (Hechos 10: 3). Un día, alrededor de las tres de la tarde, tuvo una visión, en la que vio claramente que un ángel de Dios entraba y le decía: " Cornelio!" Miró al ángel con miedo y dijo: " Qué pasa, señor?" El ángel respondió: "Dios está complacido con tus oraciones y obras de caridad, y está listo para responderte". El ángel le ordena al centurión que envíe a sus enviados para encontrar a San Pedro que estaba en ese punto, quedándose con un curtidor cristiano llamado Simón en Jope. Al mismo tiempo que el centurión Cornelio recibió su visión, San Pedro recibió una visión en la que Dios lo liberó a él ya todos los cristianos de las estrictas restricciones dietéticas de la Ley mosaica (Hechos 10: 10-16). Cuando los hombres de Cornelius llegan, Peter se da cuenta de que la visión que recibió se refería al centurión romano y a todos los demás gentiles que desean convertirse a la Iglesia. Él acompaña a los hombres de Cornelio de regreso a Cesarea. Cuando Cornelius ve a Peter, cae a los pies de San Pedro. Este es el punto donde comenzamos la Primera Lectura de hoy. San Pedro le enseña a Cornelio y su familia sobre la vida de Jesús, la Pasión y la Resurrección. En ese punto, el Espíritu Santo desciende sobre todos los presentes y Cornelio y otros gentiles hablan en lenguas y alaban a Dios. Él y su familia aceptaron el Bautismo. San Cornelio el Centurión es el primer gentil, no judío, aceptado en la Iglesia. Con el bautismo de Cornelio, toda su familia y su hogar (todos sus sirvientes y sus familias), todos los gentiles, no judíos, también fueron bautizados e ingresaron en la Iglesia. La imagen que vemos es un fresco en la pared de la sacristía de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma, por Perugia, de San Pedro bautizando a Cornelio. El bautismo de Cornelio es un evento de fundamental importancia en la historia de la Iglesia primitiva. Antes de él, solo los judíos se habían convertido al cristianismo. El bautismo del centurión romano Cornelio y su familia está conectado con el Evangelio de hoy. Del Evangelio de Juan de hoy, escuchamos a Jesús decir: "Te lo he dicho para que mi gozo esté en ti y tu alegría sea completa". San Agustín, al predicar sobre este pasaje del Evangelio, nos enseña: "qué Es el gozo de Cristo en nosotros? Cuál es nuestro gozo, que dice que será pleno, sino tener comunión con Él? "El bautismo de Cornelio y su casa nos muestra que Dios extiende su amistad a judíos y gentiles (no judíos) Al igual que Jesús desea convertirse en el amigo de cada persona, esta es la alegría que todos estamos llamados a compartir con las personas que nos rodean. Si realmente queremos que nuestros amigos tengan alegría, entonces debemos traerlos a Jesús. Debemos presentarlos. acerca de Jesús, como lo hizo San Pedro con Cornelio, para que puedan conocer la alegría de la amistad con Jesús. Felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes de nuestra escuela parroquial y del programa de Educación Religiosa que recibieron su Primera Comunión este sábado, 5 de mayo de Que vengan con sus padres y familiares a Jesús, su amigo, todos los domingos, y que recibir a Jesús en la Eucaristía siempre llene ellos con alegría Que la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de la Buena Ayuda, nos ayude con su cuidado maternal, y que San José ore por nosotros. Vivat Jesús! Vive Jesús!

4 Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza Dzisiejsze pierwsze czytanie z Dziejów Apostolskich dotyczy chrztu Korneliusza. Zaczyna się ono od świętego Piotra wchodzącego do domu Korneliusza. Aby lepiej zrozumieć dzisiejszą Ewangelię, musimy przypomnieć sobie to, co zdarzyło się wcześniej. W rozdziale 10 Dziejów Apostolskich czytamy, iż w Cezarei był człowiek imieniem Korneliusz kapitan rzymskiego regimentu zwanego Kohortą Italską. Korneliusz był setnikiem w imperialnej Cohors II Italica Civium Romanorum, stacjonującej podówczas w Cezarei stolicy rzymskiej prowincji Judea. Formacja miała tam utrzymywać Pax Romana, czyli pokój rzymski. Według Dziejów Apostolskich (10:2), Korneliusz był pobożny i bojący się Boga wraz z całym swym domem. Dawał on wielkie jałmużny ludowi i zawsze modlił się do Boga. Około dziewiątej godziny dnia ujrzał wyraźnie w widzeniu anioła Pańskiego, który wszedł do niego i powiedział: Korneliuszu! On zaś wpatrując się w niego z lękiem zapytał: Co, panie? Odpowiedział mu: Modlitwy twoje i jałmużny stały się ofiarą, która przypomniała ciebie Bogu. Anioł nakazał setnikowi, aby jego ludzie sprowadzili świętego Piotra, goszczącego wówczas w Jafie u pewnego chrześcijańskiego garbarza Szymona. W tej samej chwili, co Korneliusz, święty Piotr również miał widzenie. W nim, Bóg zwolnił Piotra oraz wszystkich chrześcijan z restrykcyjnych nakazów żywieniowych, obowiązujących w Prawie Mojżeszowym (Dzieje Apostolskie 10:10-16). Gdy zjawili się wysłannicy Korneliusza, Piotr zrozumiał, że jego wizja dotyczyła właśnie setnika, a także innych nie-żydów, którzy chcieli przejść na Chrześcijaństwo. Wraca z ludźmi Korneliusza do Cezarei. Ujrzawszy nadchodzącego Piotra, Korneliusz pada mu do stóp. W tym momencie rozpoczyna się dzisiejsze czytanie. Święty Piotr opowiada Korneliuszowi i jego domownikom o Jezusie, Jego Męce i Zmartwychwstaniu. W tym momencie, na zebranych zstępuje Duch Święty. Korneliusz oraz jego bliscy zaczynają mówić wieloma językami i wychwalać Boga. Wszyscy oni następnie przyjęli Chrzest. Święty Korneliusz setnik był pierwszym nie- Żydem przyjętym do Kościoła. Wraz z nim, chrzest przyjęła cała jego rodzina, wszyscy słudzy i ich rodziny. Przez chrzest Korneliusza, ochrzczeni i przyjęci do Kościoła zostały również wszelkie inne nacje, wszyscy nie-żydzi. Załączony obraz przedstawia fresk z zakrystii w Bazylice św. Piotra w Rzymie, ukazujący chrzest świętego Korneliusza. Dla wczesnego Kościoła, jest to wydarzenie o fundamentalnym znaczeniu. Przed Korneliuszem, na chrześcijaństwo nawracali się jedynie Żydzi. Chrzest rzymskiego setnika Korneliusza oraz jego bliskich jest ściśle związany z dzisiejszą Ewangelią. W Ewangelii św. Jana, Chrystus mówi: To wam powiedziałem, aby radość moja w was była i aby radość wasza była pełna. W komentarzu do tego fragmentu, święty Augustyn pisze: Czym jest radość Chrystusowa w nas? A nasza radość, która ma być pełna, jest niczym innym, jak tylko przyjaźnią z Nim. Chrzest Korneliusza pokazuje nam, że Pan pragnie przyjaźnić się zarówno z Żydami, jak i nie-żydami, z każdym człowiekiem. Tą radością mamy dzielić się ze wszystkimi wokół nas. Jeżeli chcemy, aby nasi bliscy byli prawdziwie szczęśliwi, musimy zanieść im Jezusa. Musimy opowiedzieć o Chrystusie, tak jak św. Piotr opowiedział Korneliuszowi, aby mogli oni poznać radość przyjaźni z Nim. Serdecznie gratulujemy dzieciakom z naszej szkoły parafialnej oraz uczestnikom naszego Programu katechetycznego, którzy w minioną sobotę, 5 maja, przystąpili do swojej I Komunii Świętej. Niechaj razem z rodzinami odwiedzają swojego przyjaciela Jezusa co niedzielę, a owe spotkania z Jezusem Eucharystycznym napełniają ich radością! Święta Maryjo, Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!
