Todos debieron de haber la gente; a los judíos y a los gentiles a cambiar de modo de vivir, a convertirse en portadores del anuncio de la salvación, a vivir la resurrección de Cristo. Pablo, que se incorpora después para seguir a Cristo, junto con Pedro, anuncian el Kerigma: “Dios ha resucitado a Jesús” “a quien vosotros crucificasteis y ejecutasteis”, para que a través de él se conceda a Israel y al pueblo de hoy, el arrepentimiento y el perdón de los pecadores. “Nosotros y el Espíritu Santo somos testigos de todo esto.” Estas afirmaciones y respuestas del trabajo de los apóstoles enfureció a las autoridades, que querían matar a los apóstoles, pero un fariseo notable (Gamaliel) gran teólogo y maestro de Pablo, persuade al Sanedrín de que espere a ver si este movimiento es de origen humano sin más, en cuyo caso fracasará como otros muchos del pasado, o si tiene su origen en Dios, en cuyo caso las autoridades y el propio Sanedrín estarían luchando contra Dios. El Sanedrín tuvo miedo y solo los mandó a azotar y fueron puestos en libertad siendo advertidos, pero los apóstoles se retiran felices y contentos de haber tenido el honor de sufrir humillaciones a causa de aquel hombre que había resucitado Dios. El Evangelio de Juan, hoy nos narra la aparición de Jesús, ya resucitado, a sus discípulos. Jesús cumplió lo que les había prometido: un poco después de su partida lo volverían a ver y sus corazones se rego- cijarían. Les da “su paz”, “su libertad”, elimina el miedo y les da total bienestar del cuerpo y el alma, aquella paz que el mundo no puede dar. 9 SAINT BONAVENTURE CATHOLIC CHURCH—IGLESIA CATÓLICA DE SAN BUENAVENTURA April 3, 2016 Sunday of Divine Mercy — 3 de abril de 2016 Domingo de la Divina Misericordia recibido la información por correo la se- Pueden encontrar mas información en el F rASES dEL Papa Francisco mana pasada.
