Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Luke 12:32-48 or

12:35-40 One way Christians can prove that they are a people of faith is to live every day as though they expect Jesus to return. Today's Gospel urges us to be awake and on the watch like servants awaiting the master's return home. We should be "on guard" against anyone or anything that leads us astray from Christ. Since no one knows when the final judgment will happen, the wise person will always be prepared for it. 1.) If you read this Gospel again carefully, you will discover that Jesus is comparing himself to a thief! Just as we would "watch out" for a thief, so we must "watch out" for the coming of the Lord. One saint said of Jesus: "He steals our hearts!" However, we must be clear: Jesus always respects our freedom. We can say yes or no when he comes. The question is: When Jesus comes, will you want to keep your door closed, or open it up wide? Are you going to wait until the end of time to welcome Jesus, or can you begin today? How?

Evangelio: Lucas 12:32-48 o 12:35-40

Una forma en que los cristianos pueden mostrar que son gente de fe es viviendo cada día como si estuvieran esperando el regreso de Cristo. El evangelio de hoy nos urge a despertar y a velar como sirvientes que esperan el regreso de su señor. Debemos estar "atentos" para que nadie ni nada nos aleje de Cristo. Como nadie sabe cuando será el juicio final, la persona sabia estará siempre preparada para eso. 1.) Si lees con cuidado este evangelio descubrirás que Jesús está comparándose con un ladrón. De la misma forma en que nosotros "vigilamos" a un ladrón debemos vigilar la venida del Señor. Un santo dijo de Jesús: "El roba nuestros corazones". Sin embargo, debemos estar claros: Jesús siempre respeta nuestra libertad. Podemos decir sí o no cuando él venga. Las preguntas son: ¿Quiero tener la puerta cerrada o abierta cuando venga Jesús? ¿Vas a esperar hasta el final de los tiempos para aceptar a Jesús o empezarás hoy? ¿Ahora?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Dear Eleanor, Thanks for the birthday card. Now that I'm 83 life is full of experiences to cherish. I'm reading more and dusting less, and sitting in the yard to admire the view. I'm spending more time with family and friends. I use the good china and crystal to celebrate everything--losing weight, unstopping the sink, or the first amaryllis blossom. I wear my favorite perfume and good blazer to the market. It's great to say "Keep the change" and give good tips to people with dreary jobs. As a Saint Vincent de Paul volunteer I forget my aches and pains. No putting off, holding back, or saving what would add laughter and luster to life. I'm writing certain letters that I'd always intended to write. I tell the people closest to me that I love them. Every day is a gift from God and I thank God because it is so wonderful. Love, Rose Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

NO TE LO PUEDES LLEVAR Querida Eleonor, Gracias por la tarjeta de cumpleaños. Ahora que tengo 83 años, mi vida está llena de experiencias que apreciar. Estoy leyendo más y limpiando menos, y me siento en el patio para admirar el panorama. Paso más tiempo con familiares y amigos. Uso la mejor vajilla y la cristalería buena para celebrarlo todo--una libra de peso perdida, un lavabo que ya no está tapado o el primer brote de los tulipanes. Me pongo mi perfume favorito y mi mejor chaque-ta para ir al mercado. Es fantástico decir, "quédate con el cambio" y dar buenas propinas a las personas con trabajos monótonos. Mi trabajo voluntario en San Vicente de Paúl me hace olvidar mis dolores y pesares. Nada de aplazar, retrasar o dejar de hacer lo que le añade lustre o una sonrisa a mi vida. Estoy escribiendo ciertas cartas que siempre intenté escribir. Le digo a las personas más cercanas que las amo. Cada día es un regalo de Dios y le doy gracias porque la vida es tan maravillosa. Te quiere, Rosa Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, there was the usual buzz of speculation about likely successors. Cardinal Agajanian, Patriarch of the Armenians, was highly thought of as a likely choice. This took many Catholics by surprise, since he had never celebrated the same liturgy as Pope Pius, but followed ancient Armenian customs according to the Eastern Church, which veils the Eucharisic liturgy from sight by a series of curtains, and in which the priest kneels while the people stand for Communion. In the years that followed, the Second Vatican Council would affirm the dignity and independence of the Eastern Churches, in complete union with Rome, yet different in patterns of life and worship. We have the same faith, the same sacraments, and the same pope. Yet everywhere in the world our separate Churches are combined into families held together by the ministry of bishops. All of this serves as warning: If you ever say, “But we’ve always done it this way,” you are on very thin ice indeed! —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hace casi 2000 años, Jesús declaró que “los zorros tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo sus nidos; pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza”. Lamentablemente en las calles y callejones del mundo este dicho se realiza diariamente en tantos abandonados por la sociedad que viven sin techo ni hogar. En los años 40 el santo jesuita, Alberto Hurtado de Chile quiso darle al Hijo del hombre un lugar donde reclinar su cabeza recogiendo a los niños y a los adultos indigentes. Su ejemplo llamó la atención de otros cristianos que se unieron a sus esfuerzos y así en 1944 fundaron la asociación benéfica “Hogar de Cristo”. Este hogar se dedica aun todavía a acoger, educar y rehabilitar a los necesitados dándoles las herramientas necesarias para poder depender de si mismos. También vela por sus almas dándoles una formación total de cuerpo, alma y espíritu. En fin, el Hogar de Cristo se dedica a difundir la realidad de los pobres por medio de nuestro llamado bautismal a la responsabilidad que tenemos en darle al Hijo de hombre un lugar para reclinar su cabeza. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
