Do they still speak to us today? And how can we keep his word? In the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Easter, Jesus tells us how to keep his word by way of a new commandment: \u201cLove one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.\u201d Now not only does Jesus leave us this message of love, but he further offers his peace to us, a peace that our world cannot give. And he promises that the Holy Spirit will strengthen, teach, remind and help us to understand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first reading, we see the confusion in the Church\u2019s teachings in her early days. The Church faces difficulties finding space for the gentiles, who do not follow the Mosaic law. Here, the apostles and elders come to a consensus in the Council of Jerusalem, approving the inclusion of all people from diverse backgrounds in the Church. They will not be required to convert to Judaism, thus establishing Catholic universality. To be sure, they will be asked to avoid practices that would offend the sensibilities of Jews. This is something we learn in intercultural living; it requires accommodating everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Bible, peace is not only the absence of conflict, but also a restoration or completion. Both <em>shalom<\/em> in Hebrew and <em>eir\u0113n\u0113<\/em> in Greek are nouns used for \u201cpeace.\u201d Here, Jesus offers his life to restore the broken relationship between humans and our creator. Moreover, the selfless love (<em>ag\u00e1p\u0113<\/em>) commanded of us entails that we treat others the same way we would want to be treated, expecting nothing in return. As we live in our contemporary, broken, and polarized world, what does this Gospel message say to us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2023\/09\/serving-migrant-martyrs-in-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Having lived in Taiwan<\/a> for the past two years, I know how it feels to be a foreigner \u2014 never quite belonging. But the feeling of being out of place is also a humbling reminder that we were not created for this world alone. This is not our final home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through my ministry with homeless friends, I have had an opportunity to hear their life experiences. Some ended up on the streets not because of drug addiction or unemployment, but simply due to shame, loneliness and a sense of incomplete belonging. They feel like foreigners in their own families and communities. For any number of reasons, whether cultural, biological or religious, the families and community members have contributed to pushing them to the margins of society, treating them as outcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All over the world, we are aware of people whom we have ignored, judged and pushed away from our communities, religions and countries simply because they do not conform to our worldly standards. And so, we act like the early Christians who disparaged and shunned the gentiles. No matter how we try to rationalize our actions, deep down we know that we are betraying the Gospel when we do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this Easter Season, Jesus is asking us to actively <em>\u201cshalom\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201ceir\u0113n\u0113\u201d<\/em> the broken pieces and <em>\u201cag\u00e1p\u0113\u201d<\/em> all who are living at the margins. And by doing so, we are actively responding to God\u2019s commandments, which the Prophet Micah enunciates: \u201cTo act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maryknoll seminarian Paschal Madukwa is a physician from Tanzania.
