Rather, Jesus is teaching us that the true path to happiness in this fallen world is paved with life's challenges and hardships. These remind us that this world is passing and imperfect, that the only dependable thing in life is our friendship with God. Hardships and challenges teach us to root our lives in the rich soil of knowing, loving, and serving him; then our lives will be like a flourishing tree, with strong roots and luscious fruits.

We are members of the Church militant for as long as we journey here on earth, and that means we need to keep our armor on and our supply lines protected, lest we fall into the enemy's traps.

It teaches us that true happiness is not found in riches or well-being, in human fame or power, or in any human achievement - however beneficial it may be - such as science, technology, and art, or indeed in any creature, but in God alone, the source of every good and of all love... #45 Man is made to live in communion with God in whom he finds happiness. For me the New English Bible translation has the best interpretation of the 1 st Beatitude: “Blessed are those who know their need for God, for theirs is the Kingdom of God.” May God bless you. Fr. Dan

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO

Queridos Feligreses:

Este es el primer sermón grande de Jesús en el Evangelio de Lucas. Su discurso inaugural. Y es impresionante. El tema es la felicidad (siendo bendecidos), y en una inversión total de las normas ordinarias, Jesús nos muestra la verdadera felicidad con penurias, sufrimiento, lucha y oposición, no con la prosperidad, popularidad y placer que normalmente asociamos con la felicidad. ¿Qué nos esta diciendo con esto? Jesús nos está diciendo que las cosas buenas de la vida son malas - no claro que no. Esos son regalos de Dios y estamos destinados a disfrutar de ellos. Pero dice que no puede satisfacer nuestro deseo de felicidad. Y así, si ponemos nuestra confianza en ellos, como Jeremías dice en la primera lectura, nuestras vidas se marchitan como yerba en el desierto. Sin raíces y sin frutos. Más bien, Jesús nos está enseñando que el verdadero camino a la felicidad en este mundo caído está lleno de retos y dificultades en la vida. Esto nos recuerda que este mundo es pasajero e imperfecto, que la cosa sólo fiable lo único confiable en la vida es nuestra amistad con Dios. Las dificultades y desafíos nos enseñan a enraizar nuestras vidas en un suelo rico en conocimiento, amor y servicio, entonces nuestra vida será como un árbol floreciente, con raíces fuertes y frutas deliciosas. Esta lección tiene que rea-aprenderse continuamente. Debido a nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa, tendemos siempre a pensar que podemos encontrar el cielo en la tierra poniendo juntos la combinación de derechos y posesiones, alabanza y poder. Pero nosotros no podemos, y nuestro Señor lo pone perfectamente claro. Somos miembros de la iglesia militante mientras dure nuestro viaje aquí en la tierra, y eso significa que necesitamos mantener nuestra armadura y nuestras líneas de fuente protegidas, para que no caigamos en las trampas del enemigo. El Catecismo dice en #1723 Las bienaventuranzas, nos prometen nos confronta con opciones morales decisivas. Nos invita a purificar nuestro corazón de malos instintos y a buscar el amor de Dios por encima de todo. Nos enseña que la verdadera felicidad no se encuentra en la riqueza o bienestar humana fama o poder o en cualquier logro humano - sin embargo lo beneficioso puede ser - como ciencia,

tecnología y arte, o de hecho en cualquier criatura, pero solo en Dios, la fuente de toda cosa buena y sobre todo del amor... El numeral #45 nos dice que el hombre está hecho para vivir en comunión con Dios en quien encuentra felicidad. Para mí la Biblia de Inglés de la nueva traducción tiene la mejor interpretación de la 1ª bienaventuranza: "Bienaventurados los que saben de su necesidad de Dios, porque de ellos es el Reino de Dios." Que Dios los bendiga, El padre de Dan

Sexto domingo del Tiempo ordinario Que tengamos la fuerza y el coraje para proclamar alegremente

nuestra fe, especialmente en situaciones incómodas.

"Bienaventurados seréis cuando los hombres os odien,…cuando

os expulsen, os injurien y proscriban vuestro nombre como

malo,…por causa del Hijo del hombre." (Lucas 6:22) Todos

hemos estado en situaciones en las que alguien ha hecho un

comentario negativo o una broma sobre Dios o nuestra fe

católica. ¿Cómo respondiste? ¿Te mantuviste en silencio o

fingiste estar de acuerdo con la multitud porque no querías

causar olas y luego, más tarde, te sentiste mal? Haz de saber

que Dios está contigo todo el tiempo, el Espíritu Santo pondrá

las palabras correctas en tu boca. Ora por la fuerza y el coraje

para proclamar nuestra fe a los demás, especialmente durante

situaciones incómodas.

CATECISMO (De KINDER A SEXTO AÑO)

impact the teachings of our Catholic Church. Training for the upcoming

House on March 2, 2019 from 2:00 -4:00

¿POR QUE DECIDIR ENVIAR A NUESTROS HIJOS A UNA

ESCUELA CATOLICA? Cuando se trata del bienestar, la seguridad y el nivel académico de nuestros hijos, lo que cueste no debe de detenernos ni preocuparnos para lograrlo. Tome en consideración el significado y la importancia de una buena educación católica para sus hijos. Nos esforzamos en crear un excelente ambiente de aprendizaje académico, cultural y religioso. Estos logros pueden ser los de sus hijos. Déles la oportunidad de desarrollar sus talentos y habilidades en una escuela Católica Tome en consideración el significado y la importancia de una buena educación católica para sus hijos. Numerosos estudios muestran que los padres apoyan las escuelas Católicas por tres razones: Por el progreso académico superior, su ambiente de aprendizaje disciplinado y seguro y su respeto y apreciación hacia los deberes morales y éticos. Estas son razones de gran peso aun si usted no tiene hijos en edad escolar. Ciertamente el futuro de nuestras comunidades e iglesias dependen de la habilidad y capacidad de la próxima generación en seguir edificando donde nosotros paramos. Estas escuelas mantienen un registro de su graduados que son miembros activos en nuestras Iglesias, buenos vecinos y buenos ciudadanos en general. La mayoría de nuestros sacerdotes y monjas han asistido a escuelas Católicas asi como numerosos lideres cívicos, intelectuales y trabajadores comunitarios. Está claro que nuestras escuelas han tenido mucho que ver en las Iglesias de este pais y en su desarrollo en general. La educación Católica es un regalo y una gran responsabilidad. Debemos apoyar y nutrir estas escuelas para que ellas continúen floreciendo y educando a la siguiente generación de la misma manera que se nos educó a nosotros.
