May 3, 2026 - Fifth Sunday of Easter
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Today the readings invite us into a deeper understanding of what it means to belong to God—not as distant followers, but as a people in whom God actively dwells. They speak of structure and mission, of identity and relationship, and ultimately of Christ as the foundation that holds everything together.
In the first reading from Acts of the Apostles (Acts 6:1–7), we encounter a moment of tension in the early Church. A practical problem arises: the Greek-speaking widows are being overlooked in the daily distribution. Rather than ignoring the issue or allowing division to grow, the apostles respond with wisdom. They appoint seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, to ensure justice and care within the community. This moment is more than administrative—it reveals something essential about the Church. The mission of proclaiming the Word and the mission of serving the vulnerable are not in competition; they are complementary. The Body of Christ is healthiest when each member lives out their calling. The result? “The word of God continued to spread.” When the Church orders itself rightly, grounded in charity and truth, it becomes a credible witness to the world.
Mayo 3, Quinto Domingo de Pascua
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
Hoy, las lecturas nos invitan a una comprensión más profunda de lo que significa pertenecer a Dios—no como seguidores distantes, sino como un pueblo en el que Dios habita activamente. Nos hablan de estructura y misión, de identidad y relación, y, en última instancia, de Cristo como el fundamento que mantiene todo unido.
En la primera lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles (Hch 6,1–7), encontramos un momento de tensión en la Iglesia primitiva. Surge un problema práctico: las viudas de habla griega están siendo desatendidas en la distribución diaria. En lugar de ignorar el problema o permitir que crezca la división, los apóstoles responden con sabiduría. Designan a siete hombres de buena reputación, llenos del Espíritu y de sabiduría, para garantizar la justicia y el cuidado dentro de la comunidad. Este momento es más que administrativo: revela algo esencial sobre la Iglesia. La misión de anunciar la Palabra y la misión de servir a los más vulnerables no están en competencia; son complementarias. El Cuerpo de Cristo está más sano cuando cada miembro vive su vocación. ¿El resultado? “La palabra de Dios seguía extendiéndose.” Cuando la Iglesia se organiza correctamente, fundada en la caridad y la verdad, se convierte en un testimonio creíble para el mundo.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”
Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.

'Todos nacemos originales, algunos en la vida se convierten en fotocopias'
Carlo Acutis nació en Londres, Gran Bretaña, el 3 de mayo de 1991, de padres italianos, Carlo y Antonia Salzano, que estaban en la City por motivos de trabajo. Fue bautizado el 18 de mayo en la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Londres. En septiembre de 1991, la familia regresó a Milán. A los cuatro años, sus padres le inscriben en la guardería, a la que asiste con gran entusiasmo. Cuando llegó el momento de la escolarización obligatoria, lo matricularon en el Instituto San Carlo de Milán, una conocida escuela pública. Al cabo de tres meses, fue trasladado a la escuela primaria del Instituto Tommaseo de las Hermanas Marcelinas, por estar más cerca de su casa. El 16 de junio de 1998 recibió la Primera Comunión, antes de su edad habitual, gracias a un permiso especial de su director espiritual, el padre Ilio Carrai, y del arzobispo Pasquale Macchi. La celebración tuvo lugar en el monasterio de las monjas de clausura romitas dell'Ordine di Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, en Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). El sacramento de la Confirmación, el 24 de mayo de 2003, le fue administrado en la iglesia de Santa Maria Segreta, por monseñor Luigi Testore, antiguo secretario del cardenal Carlo Maria Martini y párroco de San Marco en Milán.
