Pastor’s Chronicle It is distressing to read and hear news reports about the plight of some children, how some are abused, ne-glected, abandoned, forced to work in sweat-shops, or victims of human trafficking of which Houston is a major center for this evil. In the Catholic Church no one has spoken more forcefully and fearlessly about the child than Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Some years ago this saintly woman had this to say about the child: “I appeal everywhere I go…Let us bring the child back to the center of our care and concern. The child is God’s gift to the family, being made in the special image and likeness of God for greater things. “This is the only way our world can survive because our children are the only hope for the future.” Children can teach us a lot. Jesus taught his bickering disciples the meaning of discipleship by placing a child in their midst and put his arms around the child saying: “Whoever welcomes a child such as this for my sakes welcomes me…And whoever welcomes me…welcomes Him who sent me.” [Mk 9: 30-37] Jesus’ gentle gesture of affection and protection is the assurance that every child and thus every hu-man being comes into this world wrapped in the loving arms of the Lord Jesus. This gesture is reason enough for each and all of us to rededicate ourselves to respect, educate, and protect the child, to do as Blessed Tere-sa bided us to do, namely, “to bring the child back to our center of care and concern.”
Fr. Bill
Crónica del Pastor Es doloroso leer y escuchar los reportes de las noticias so-bre el sufrimiento de algunos niños, como algunos son abusados, desatendidos, abandonados, forzados a trabajar en fábricas o son víctimas de traficantes de personas, en lo cual Houston es un centro mayor para esta maldad. En la Iglesia Católica nadie ha hablado más enérgicamente y sin temor sobre los niños que la Madre Teresa de Calcuta. Al-gunos años atrás esta mujer santa dijo esto sobre el niño: “Apelo por todo lugar que voy…Regresemos al niño al centro de nuestro cuidado y preocupación. El niño es el don de Dios a la familia, hecho en la imagen y semejanza especial de DIOS para grandes obras. “Este es la única ma-nera que el mundo puede sobrevivir porque nuestros niños son nuestra única esperanza para el futuro.” Los niños nos pueden ensenar mucho. Jesús les enseñó a sus discípulos que reñían entre si el signifi-cado del discipulado ubicando un niño en medio de ellos y abrazándolo y diciéndoles, “El que recibe en mi nombre a un niño como este, me recibe a mí; y el que me recibe, no solamente a mí me recibe, sino también a aquel que me envió.” (Mc 9: 30 – 37) El gesto gentil de Jesús de afecto y de protección es la seguridad de que cada niño, y por consecuen-cia también cada ser humano entra en este mundo envuelto en los brazos amables del Señor Jesús. Este gesto es la razón suficiente para cada uno y de todos nosotros para dedicarnos otra vez al respeto, educación y pro-tección del niño, y hacer como la Santísima Teresa nos pidió hacer, es decir, “regresar al niño a nuestro cen-tro de cuidado y interés.” Padre Bill
