COMPARTIR EN COMUNIDAD: Después de Misa, en el comedor de la Iglesia San Juan. RIFA de artículos religiosos, ($1.00 el ticket), durante el compartir.
CAMINAR CON EL PAPA “Le pedimos al Espíritu Santo, que nos ayude a abrir las puertas del Evangelio a todos los pueblos y ser testigos auténticos del
Amor divino”
UN MENSAJE PARA TI HAY 3 COSAS EN LA VIDA…. Que una vez que pasan nunca regresan: El Tiempo, Las Palabras, Las Oportunidades Que pueden destruir a una persona: El Odio, El Enojo, El Orgullo. Que nunca debes perder: La Fe, La Esperanza, El Amor. De mayor valor: La Amistad, La Humildad, La Sinceridad. Que forman a una persona: El Respeto, Los Valores, El Compromiso. Y PEDIMOS A DIOS 3 COSAS PARA TI: Que te Bendiga, Que te Guíe y te Proteja
REFLEXION: Este fin de semana, la Palabra proclamada en la Eucaristía nos invita a celebrar nuestra esperanza en el Señor. El profeta Malaquías, en la primera lectura, afirma que se acerca la hora en que todos han de brillar en la gloria del Señor; mientras que san Pablo, en la segunda lectura, hace un evaluación del desánimo en esos momentos de la comunidad tesalonicense, y hace un llamado a todos los miembros, a que no sean holgazanes y colaboren juntos en la construcción del Reino. El evangelista San Lucas, utiliza el Templo como signo de permanencia y transición. En esta lectura Jesús advierte que hasta el Templo se destruirá frente a los signos finales, cuando la muerte persiga a todos por permanecer fieles en el ministerio al que han sido llamados. Su afirmación, en principio, causa incertidumbre entre los discípulos, pero sus palabras aseguran que Él siempre los acompañará y les comunicará la forma de predicar y la fuerza para dar testimonio de su presencia en el mundo. Esas palabras de Jesús, también nos llegan hoy a nosotros, a los que nos reunimos para celebrar la Eucaristía día tras día sábados y domingos. Las palabras de las Sagradas Escrituras deben servir para que todos los miembros de la asamblea reflexiones sobre su compromiso de fe en la Iglesia y en la sociedad. La esperanza aparece en las lecturas para vencer y reemplazar la inseguridad que la vida humana nos presenta a todos como resultado de las injusticias sociales, la agresividad que va en aumento cada día en la familia y en la sociedad, inclusive el rechazo que reciben los cristianos en el mundo entero.

WHY DO WE DO THAT? - End of the World
Question: What do Catholics believe about the end of the world?
Answer: We hear the phrase “the end of the world” casually today. Often in film or media, it means the end of civil society or the threat of human annihilation by natural disasters. For the Christian, our perspective is distinctly Christ-centered. Numerous times through the Gospel, Jesus notes that he will come again, even after he has ascended into heaven. The Church typically refers to this as the Second Coming of Jesus or the Latin “Parousia,” meaning “presence” or “arrival.” We believe that Christ will come again, and at his Second Coming, temporal time will end. Human history will end, at least as we know it. However, it doesn’t mean that creation will be destroyed. The book of Revelation speaks of a renewal, indeed a “new heaven and a new earth” (Rev 21:1). Christ will come again in glory. Our souls will be reunited with our bodies. While our lives were judged individually at our deaths, which we call the particular judgment, something new will happen here. Theologians call it the general judgment or the last judgment, in which our deeds and the effects — for good or ill — will be known to all. For the early Christians, this second coming was hoped for! They knew it was the completion of God’s work of redemption for the human race. We, too, should pray with them, “Come Lord Jesus!”
