The Most Holy Trinity June 19, 2011

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. — John 3:16a THREE IN ONE Today we honor God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is one being yet three distinct persons. Don’t let the word “person” fool you; here it means “individual reality,” not like a human person. How can the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be distinct yet completely united? Well, think of your eyes: each is distinct, yet togeth-er they are one and undivided in their sight. Alternatively, think of Jesus as solid, like ice: he became fully human in our world. The Holy Spirit, like steam, is someone un-seen, but with great power. The Father is like water, without which there would be neither steam nor ice. All these explanations fall short. The Trinity is a mystery; but “mystery” does not mean a riddle to be solved, but a reality beyond our human com-prehension. It is a truth we can only begin to know through worship, symbol, and faith.

El Sínodo sobre la Palabra de Dios

L a Exhortación Apostólica Verbum Domini, del Papa Benedicto XVI recoge las reflexiones y resoluciones del Sínodo sobre la Palabra de Dios y da muchas indicaciones de estudio, reflexión y alimento espiritual.

En la tercera parte del documento se pone de relevancia la importancia de escuchar la Palabra en el mundo. La escucha de la Palabra mueve a una nueva vida y a la reconciliación entre los pueblos. En la sección titulada “Servir a Jesús en sus humildes hermanos”, la exhortación hace una llamada al compromiso. Dice: “La Palabra divina ilumina la existencia humana y mueve a la conciencia a revisar en profundidad la propia vida, pues toda la historia de la humanidad está bajo el juicio de Dios”.

Recuerda entonces el capitulo 25 de Mateo y señala: “Así pues, la misma Palabra de Dios reclama la necesidad de nuestro compromiso en el mundo y de nuestra responsabilidad ante Cristo, Señor de la historia. Al anunciar el Evangelio, démonos ánimo mutuamente para hacer el bien y comprometernos por la justicia, la reconciliación y la paz”.

“La misma Palabra de Dios denuncia sin ambigüedades las injusticias y promueve la solidaridad y la igualdad. Por eso, a la luz de las palabras del Señor, reconocemos los signos de los tiempos que hay en la historia y no rehuimos el compromiso a favor de los que sufren y son víctimas del egoísmo. El Sínodo ha recordado que el compromiso por la justicia y la transformación del mundo forma parte de la evangelización”.

Vuelve la mirada entonces el Papa hacia quienes están comprometidos en la vida política y social. “Es a los fieles laicos, educados en la escuela del Evangelio, a quienes corresponde la tarea de intervenir directamente en la acción social y política. Por eso, el Sínodo recomienda promover una adecuada formación según los principios de la Doctrina social de la iglesia”.

“Además, deseo llamar la atención de todos sobre la importancia de defender y promover los derechos humanos de cada persona, fundados en la ley natural inscrita en el corazón y que como tales son universales, inviolables, inalienables”.

Para la Reflexión ¿De qué maneras nos llama la Escritura a buscar la justicia? ¿En qué aspectos de nuestra vida en la comunidad o en la sociedad necesitamos que la Palabra de Dios inspire nuestra acción por la justicia? ¿Qué pasajes de la Escritura te parecen más significativos en este sentido? ¿De qué maneras puede una persona sencilla participar en la vida política? ¿Conoces bien los principios de la doctrina social de la Iglesia? ©Nuestra Parroquia 2011

La celebración del Día del Padre este domingo es conmemoración de todo lo que debe ser un padre hoy día. Es verdad que tiene que proveer materialmente, junto con su esposa, pero también tiene que atender a las necesidades espirituales y emocionales de sus hijos. Es decir, tendrá a veces que poner el periódico, o la televisión, o alguna tarea en la casa a un lado, para poder escuchar y conversar un rato con su esposa y sus hijos. Tiene que trabajar duro para sacar a la familia adelante, pero también tiene que saber jugar con sus hijos. Tiene que orientar y guiar y a veces poner disciplina en su hogar y marcar las normas, pero también tiene que respetar la libertad de sus hijos para elegir su camino en la vida. Se le pide mucho a un padre. Se le pide que sea un hombre verdadero. © Nuestra Parroquia.

19 de junio de 2011

21 de junio ♦ San Luis Gonzaga Hijo del Duque de Mantua, fue paje de la corte del rey Felipe II de España. Desde muy niño quiso consagrarse a Dios y por fin logro entrar en la Compañía de Jesús, después de vencer grandes resistencias de su padre. Quería ser misionero, pero murió a los 23 anos, en 1591, victima de la peste que le contagiaron los enfermos a los que atendió en Roma. Es patrono de la juventud. ¿Cómo respondes tú a tu vocación? ¿Qué obstáculos encuentras o podrías encontrar? Un pensamiento: "Sin la esperanza se apaga el entusiasmo, decae la creatividad y mengua la aspiración hacia los más altos valores." Juan Pablo II

GRACIA Y VIDA ETERNA Moisés es un hombre como nosotros, ¿acaso no hemos tratado también con cabezas duras? De hecho, ¿acaso no hemos sido nosotros mismos los cabezas duras? Quejumbrosos. . . impacientes. . . rápidos para enojarnos. ¡Qué suerte la de Moisés y qué suerte la nuestra que Dios es precisamente lo opuesto! Y ni siquiera tenemos que adivinarlo. El Señor nos lo dice directamente. Y en concordancia, Moisés hace lo que todos necesitamos hacer. Pese a tener las tablas en las manos, se postra y pide el perdón y la gracia de Dios. Alentándonos a vivir juntos en paz y con el favor de Dios, el apóstol Pablo sabe de esta gracia, e invoca con alegría la gracia del amor de Dios y del Espíritu Santo sobre nosotros. “Estén alegres”, dice. Y cuando se trata de alegrarnos, Juan nos ofrece las palabras más regocijantes: la seguridad de la vida eterna en Jesús. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. NUESTRA CULTURA

P ara nuestra cultura, la intimidad con Dios es algo bastante natural. Lamamos a Dios “diosito” no por falta de respeto, sino por cariño y familiaridad. Es un Dios

cercano, personal, no tan interesado en los ritos ni las ceremonias, sino en el corazón y la fidelidad del pueblo. ©Nuestra Parroquia
