HE EMBRACED THEM AND BLESSED THEM Today Jesus stresses how children embody the reign of God. They are trusting and loving and have hearts that are open to love. They are

joyful when they are made aware of God's love for them, and are eager to return that love. This is the model Jesus holds out to us if we

want to welcome the reign of God. We need to have open, loving hearts. We must drop our defenses, however we came by them, and

welcome Christ's love for us with joy. This is impossible for us on our own. Only the grace of God will enable us to do this, but that grace

is freely and generously given. We have only to accept it. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

PRAYER LIST The prayer list published in the bulletin each week is a vehicle to notify

From the beginning of time, our Creator has given humankind

the gifts of life and unconditional love. One day our God saw

fit to give the first fruits of love for us, the sacrificial gift of an

only son, Jesus. Jesus gave his own life for us on the cross.

He set an example for us of giving unconditionally and of

sacrificing so that others might live. We walk in the footsteps

of Christ when we give sacrificially a part of our substance so

that others might live. The Scriptures tell us that those who

follow the example of Jesus will be the first fruits of the

redemption (James 1:18 and Revelation 14:4). The starting

point for Sacrificial Giving is the basic principle of Christian

stewardship—that everything we have is a gift from God. In

gratitude for God’s generosity, we dedicate a portion of these

gifts—our time, talent and money—to furthering God’s

Kingdom. If we truly believe that God gives us all that we have,

gratitude is one response. Trust is another. When we realize

that God has provided for us and will continue to do so, we

recognize that our real security lies in God. Our God, who has

given us all, will take care of our future.

Thank you for your sacrificial giving!

PEQUEÑO PLANETA Mientras vivamos todos juntos en este pequeño planeta,

necesitaremos dulzura humana, cariño humano.

--Dalai Lama

Desde el escritorio del Padre Juan Antonio

Exortacion Apostolica Amoris Laetitia

Por otra parte, «hay que considerar el creciente

peligro que representa un individualismo exasperado

que desvirtúa los vínculos familiares y acaba por

considerar a cada componente de la familia como una

isla, haciendo que prevalezca, en ciertos casos, la idea

de un sujeto que se construye según sus propios

deseos asumidos con carácter absoluto» «Las

tensiones inducidas por una cultura individualista

exagerada de la posesión y del disfrute generan

dentro de las familias dinámicas de intolerancia y

agresividad». Quisiera agregar el ritmo de vida actual,

el estrés, la organización social y laboral, porque son

factores culturales que ponen en riesgo la posibilidad

de opciones permanentes. Al mismo tiempo,

encontramos fenómenos ambiguos. Por ejemplo, se

aprecia una personalización que apuesta por la

autenticidad en lugar de reproducir comportamientos

pautados. Es un valor que puede promover las

distintas capacidades y la espontaneidad, pero que,

mal orientado, puede crear actitudes de permanente

sospecha, de huida de los compromisos, de encierro

en la comodidad, de arrogancia. La libertad para elegir

permite proyectar la propia vida y cultivar lo mejor de

uno mismo, pero si no tiene objetivos nobles y

disciplina personal, degenera en una incapacidad de

donarse generosamente. De hecho, en muchos países

donde disminuye el número de matrimonios, crece el

número de personas que deciden vivir solas, o que

conviven sin cohabitar. Podemos destacar también un

loable sentido de justicia; pero, mal entendido,

convierte a los ciudadanos en clientes que sólo exigen

prestaciones de servicios. -Papa Francisco N. 33

Para comunicarse con el Padre Juan Antonio Por favor llamar al teléfono de la oficina:

301-7979445 ext. 203 El Padre Juan A. estará en la

oficina los lunes, y viernes de 11 am a 5 pm.

Domingo XXVII del Tiempo Ordinario Es un principio de sabiduría humana y cristiana dar a cada cosa su

nombre. Además de que es un elemento de claridad y transparencia. No

se trata de juzgar a nadie; al contrario, como cristianos hemos de ser

sumamente comprensivos, aunque hemos de aceptar que en esto, como

en otras muchas cosas, se pueden dar prejuicios y posturas ofensivas.

De lo que realmente se trata es de hablar con propiedad. Si comenzamos

a hablar de "matrimonio de hecho", de "unión libre", de "matrimonio gay"

del "derecho a ser diferentes", y a reconocer todo esto jurídicamente, en

lugar de disminuir aumentará sin duda la confusión. El matrimonio es

una unión estable y libre entre un varón y una mujer, jurídicamente

reconocida por el estado (matrimonio civil) y/o por la Iglesia (matrimonio

eclesiástico). Lo que no responda a esta definición, no es matrimonio;

por eso, convendrá buscarle y darle otro nombre, haciéndolo siempre

con respeto y caridad. Evidentemente, el respeto a los que son diferentes

es una obligación de todos, pero ese respeto no significa en modo alguno

connivencia y mucho menos equiparación de estado. La realidad del

matrimonio es algo muy serio y sagrado, como para andar jugando con

ella. Quizás por no tener esto en cuenta, sucede lo que está sucediendo

con esta institución, cada vez menos parecida a su sentido unívoco. Uno,

ignorante, se pregunta espontáneamente qué es lo que está pasando en

los parlamentos para que se tomen decisiones a veces sumamente

graves, que afectan la naturaleza de las cosas, y el mismo futuro de la

familia y de la sociedad. ¿Nos damos cuenta de que poco a poco nos

pueden lavar el cerebro? ¿De que el imperialismo político, se nos ha

metido en casa, casi sin querer? La conciencia cristiana y la fidelidad a

nuestra vocación misionera nos comprometen a una catequesis al

cuadrado, "arrasadora", y a una acción evangelizadora intensa sobre el

matrimonio que lleguen a todos, cristianos o no, y que utilicen toda la

gama de recursos para realizarla. Hay que "mentalizar" a los niños sobre

la naturaleza del matrimonio y su sentido cristiano.

Lecturas del próximo domingo Los valores que rigen la vida de una persona o de una sociedad son el

índice de su categoría humana y cristiana. Actualmente, hay algo en

nuestro ambiente que nos debe hacer reflexionar: en las estadísticas

sobre los intereses y valores de los ciudadanos, ¿cuáles son los valores

que más interesan y preocupan? En muchísimos, la salud; en otros

muchos, el trabajo; no pocos se muestran preocupados también por el

ambiente. Luego vienen los demás. ¿Nos damos cuenta de que en una

recta escala de valores no son éstos precisamente los que ocupan el

vértice? Al contrario, son valores económicos, vitales, que están en la

base de la pirámide jerárquica. Ahora bien, donde están tus valores, ahí

está tu corazón, es decir, toda tu persona (inteligencia, voluntad,

afectividad, sensibilidad). Vales lo que valen tus valores. Si tu valor

predominante es la salud, en cuyo altar sacrificas los demás valores, tu

categoría humana y cristiana será más bien baja. Si tu valor

predominante es Dios, entonces te elevas a una grande categoría

humana y cristiana que se reflejará luego en tu vida moral, en tu trabajo,

en tu familia, en el mismo cuidado de tu salud. Tengamos esto muy

presente: Dios como valor supremo nos impide despreciar los demás

valores; más aún, nos manda positivamente estimarlos, cuidarlos,

buscarlos ordenadamente. Dios como valor supremo es la máxima

riqueza del hombre. No es indiferente para los hombres y para los

pueblos el que predominen unos u otros valores. Primero, porque los

valores influyen y conforman la mentalidad de un individuo o de un

grupo. Pero sobre todo porque los valores determinan la vida. Vivirás

según que sean tus valores. Si tus valores predominantes son los vitales,

todas tus actividades estarán determinadas por ellos, es decir, por una

buena salud y un ambiente sano. ¿Para qué se trabaja? Para contar con

medios que permitan estar en forma. ¿Para qué se reza? Para pedir a

Dios salud. ¿Por qué se evita la droga, el alcohol, el tabaco? No por el

desorden moral que implican, sino porque perjudican la salud. ¿Por qué

partido se vota? Por aquel que asegure el mejoramiento de la sanidad y

del ambiente.
