August 12, 2018 STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE

T oday we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gos-pel that began two weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews’ ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These days we would

think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the biblical number for a prepara-tion time). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus tells his listen-ers that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus after his promise of eternal life—a marvelous promise, but this “reward” is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the fullness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in ser-vice to all. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

C areful readers of the “Treasures” will have noticed that the two columns about the oldest monastic communities in the United States

refer to the colonial states. The Louisiana Purchase gained a great treasure for our nation, the Ursuline monastery of New Orleans. Among the greatest pioneers of that city were nuns who came from France on a perilous voyage in 1727, pestered by pirates and tossed by fear-some storms. These were genteel, well-educated Ursulines, yet their first task was to roll up their sleeves and open a hospital to care for the pestilence-ridden colony. Next, they opened a school for girls and launched a plan to ed-ucate the women being shipped over from France to mar-ry settlers. In this way, they had enormous influence in molding patterns of family and domestic life. At Christmastime in 1814, the threat of a British as-sault on the city was growing. On the terrifying night of January 7, 1815, the women of New Orleans gathered in the monastery chapel to pray that the city be spared from destruction in battle. The mother superior made a vow to have a Mass of Thanksgiving on that date every year should the Americans win. That night, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, to whom the nuns had great devotion, became the protector and patron of this great city. The convent in the French Quarter is the oldest standing building in the Missis-sippi valley, and the only surviving building of the French colonial period. The nuns relocated in 1824, but their old monastery is preserved as a museum and archives for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The school the nuns began, Ursuline Academy, is the oldest continuously operating Catholic school, and school for women, in the United States. Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DID YOU KNOW?

G ender divides in childhood can perpetuate abusive behaviors. Parents of young children have likely heard the phrase “boys

will be boys” many times — usually to excuse so-called “typical boy” behaviors. But this ra-tionalization can extend dangerously through adulthood, to excuse sexual assault and har-assment. The messages received by young children have lasting effects. Boys hear that they need to hide their emotions, so if they are abused, they’re less like-ly to come forward. Girls hear that boys can be rough or rude, and learn to tolerate rather than push back. Eliminating this gender divide early may help combat sexual abuse and assault.

POWERFUL NET

J esus said to his disciples: "The Kingdom of heav-en is like a net thrown into the sea, which col-lects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul

it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buck-ets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and sepa-rate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. "Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes." And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old." When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there. Www.catholic.net

FORTALECIDOS POR EL PAN DE VIDA

H oy retomamos el discurso sobre el “Pan de Vida” del Evangelio según san Juan que co-menzó hace dos

semanas. Juan alude a los ancestros de los ju-díos que comieron el ma-ná en el desierto. Hoy pensaríamos sobre todo en el pueblo de Israel caminando por el desier-to, pero los judíos fieles también conocían el rela-to de Elías que escucha-mos hoy. Elías comió y bebió en el desierto, y con la fuerza de aquel alimento, el ángel del Señor lo envió en su viaje de cuarenta días y cuarenta noches (la cifra bíblica que simboliza un tiempo de prepara-ción). De la misma manera que el alimento que reci-bió Elías en el desierto, Jesús le dice a su público que él es pan para la vida del mundo. Es muy importante que sigamos escuchando a Jesús después de su pro-mesa de vida eterna, sin duda es una promesa mara-villosa, pero esta “recompensa” no es la única razón para darnos un festín con el Pan de Vida. También vamos a la mesa con el fin de recibir fuerzas para el camino de la misión, de manera que el mundo entero pueda tener vida en la plenitud de Cristo. Si hemos comido el pan de vida, estamos obligados a servir a todos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

E n 1973 Juan A. Espinosa escribió la canción “Santa María del Camino” con la cual invita a la Madre de Dios a ca-

minar con sus hermanos y herma-nas en la fe. La canción reta al creyente a caminar a pesar de lo difícil que puede ser y a lu-char por los cambios que sólo el Reino de Dios puede realizar. En todo esto María es invitada a caminar con el creyente. En esta semana recordamos la Asunción de María al cielo, y lo hacemos reconociendo que además de ser Madre de Dios y madre nuestra, ella también es nuestra hermana y compañera en el camino de la fe. Ella ha

llegado a la meta de nuestra peregrinación y lo ha hecho en cuerpo y alma por un privilegio singular. Nosotros también lo haremos en los últimos días cuan-do nuestro cuerpo resucite para unirse con nuestra alma. Es en vista de los últimos tiempos que invitamos a María a descender de sus altares, regresando del cielo una y otra vez para caminar con sus hermanas y hermanos, en la fe, que tanto necesitan su ejemplo y apoyo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

V iernes, 7 de Septiembre - Domingo, 9 de Septiembre, 2018 Descripcion del retiro: Que debo hacer? Es la pregunta clasica que nos

hacemos la mayor parte del tiempo especialmente aquellos que anhelan tener una intimidad con Dios y no se sienten satisfechos. Hay momentos donde el ser humano experimenta una "anoranza santa" y al mis-mo tiempo desean llenar sus vacios emocionales y espirituales, pero no saben como. Como discernir la voluntad de Dios? Que debo hacer? Como se que lo que estoy haciendo complace el corazon de Dios? Durante este retiro exploraremos como Dios trata siempre de comunicarse con el ser humano para man-ifestarle su Voluntad; y al mismo tiempo trataremos de contestar estas y ortras preguntas sabiendo que el discernimiento requiere escuchar atentamente al Espiritu de Dios, que nos invita a la santidad y una vida ejemplar. .

¿SABIA USTED?

L os padres de niños pequeños suelen repetir la frase de que “los varones son varones” para justificar ciertas conductas mas-

culinas. Pero este entendimiento podría ser un modelo peligroso para la etapa adulta, ya que esos argumentos podrían justificar el abuso sexual y la violación. Recuerden que los mensajes que les transmitimos a los hijos tienen un efecto duradero. Además, cuando los niños aprenden que los “varones” no deben mostrar sus emociones, esto podría ser peligroso en caso de un abuso sexu-al, ya que ellos no querrían contar lo sucedido. Y cu-ando las niñas escuchan que los varones tienen que ser duros y poco corteses, ellas también aprenden que ellos deben ser tolerados en vez de rechazados. Eliminando la diferenciación de género en la crianza de los hijos/hijas podría ayudar a combatir el abuso sexual y las violaciones.
