Vigésimo sexto domingo del tiempo ordinario 29 de septiembre/ 2019
(RCIA) Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos Este es un programa de preparación espiritual y catequética para personas que no han
completado sus sacramentos de iniciación Cristiana y para personas que se acercan a nuestra Iglesia católica con un deseo de conversión y pertenencia a la Iglesia de Cristo.

MEDITACION DEL EVANGELIO-ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LAS ESCRITURAS
¿A quién servimos; a Dios o al Dinero? Se preguntaba al escuchar el Evangelio de la semana pasada. Ahora vienen los ejemplos en las lecturas de la liturgia de hoy, más claras y concretas para un compromiso al cambio de vida. La lectura del profeta Amós dice lo siguiente al pueblo de Israel: "Tendidos en sus camas de marfil o arrellanados sobre sus sofás, comen corderitos del rebaño." (Amós 6:4). Una buena respuesta viene de la 1o Carta de Timoteo: "Pero tú, hombre de Dios, huye de todo eso... vive con fe y amor, constancia y bondad." (1de Timoteo 6:11). ¿Qué se puede aprender de estas lecturas? Son tan claras como el agua que bebemos. La riqueza no es mala; lo malo es no compartirla con los necesitados. Y no se trata solo de dinero, sino del tiempo de calidad, sonrisas,
abrazos y decir un te quiero te necesito a la esposa y a los hijos y viceversa la esposa a su esposo. El Evangelio, con la parábola del rico y Lázaro, cae con toda la sabiduría y compasión de Dios hacía Lázaro; pobre humanamente hablando, pero rico al poseer a Dios en su vida. Frecuentemente, la persona se ciega a las necesidades de otros, a los que sufren dolor físico o espiritual. La Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta decía sobre el sufrimiento lo siguiente: "Nuestros sufrimientos son caricias bondadosas de Dios, llamándonos para que nos volvamos a Él, y para hacernos reconocer que no somos nosotros los que controlamos nuestras vidas, sino que es Dios quien tiene el control, y podemos confiar plenamente en Él." pueden servir al mismo tiempo a Dios y al dinero. A través de las dificultades de la vida, la invitación es la misma. ¿A quién sirvo? ¿Quién me quita el tiempo y hace que me olvide de Dios? Recordemos que la fidelidad se adquiere al estar cerca de Dios.

Blessed Sacrament’s Spiritual Adoption Program, which began March 23/24, continues, and now is at the end of the SIXTH MONTH, completing the second trimester of development. Because abortion is legal in New York State up until the birth of the baby, please continue to pray daily the following prayer for your spiritually adopted baby and his or her parents until Christmas, for the full nine months of pregnancy:
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, thank you for your deep love for all of us. Protect the life of the unborn baby I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
God, our Father, shower your love on the unborn baby’s mother so that she may be supported at this special time in her life. Turn the heart of the father toward you and fill it with abundant grace. Guide the unborn baby’s parents to avoid abortion and to protect the life of the child You have created. Amen.”
By the end of the SIXTH MONTH, your baby has fine hair growing on his head and eyebrows. He has a delicate fringe of eyelashes. Your baby is now 12 inches long and weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. His skeleton has completed the change from cartilage to bone. If your baby were to be born now, he would have a very good chance of surviving.
