REFLECTIONS ON THE REIGN OF GOD A threefold message is developed in today's readings. First, everyone is called to proclaim God's glory and receive salvation. Second, salvation is not for the unprepared. Like a loving parent, God gently corrects and disciplines those who have been called. Often, suffering may be part of the formation process. We learn to accept it as Jesus once accepted his cross. Third, some people who are treated with contempt and disdain by the selfrighteous actually do have a place in God's kingdom. We need to take these lessons to heart. Recall your initial excitement upon hearing God's word. How has the Good News that once struck your fancy taken deeper root in your life? Look again at the crosses you have been given. How are others transformed when they see how you have accepted and grown from your sufferings? Finally, are there some people you imagine as not invited into God's kingdom? Why do you feel this way about them? For a moment, imagine them on the inside and yourself on the outside. How can this be possible? Always try your best to enter by the narrow gate, gladly proclaiming God's glory. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Christians share a love for the Byzantine liturgy because it is during the Eucharist that the Church is most true to its identity, expresses its integrity, and discovers its vocation. Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Christians celebrate essentially the identical liturgy, with only very slight variations. It is a fairly complex ritual weaving together three separate layers of prayers: a liturgy prayed in the sanctuary by priests, often hidden by a curtain or screen; a liturgy sung by the assembly and led by a deacon in front of a screen formed of painted icons; and a third layer of private prayer by the priest, who prays in support of the deacon and the faithful. It is an eyes -wide-open experience, gorgeous in visuals, and filled with the sound of God's people singing prayer. The energy of the worship centers on the presence of Christ, largely through an awareness of heaven touching earth when the Church gathers to celebrate. In the late twentieth century, Latin Rite Catholics were encouraged to embrace a style of worship that was "full, conscious, and active," a value that has never been lost in the East. The liturgy has great impact in its beauty, in its poetry and contemplation, and by the actions of bowing, signing with the cross, and chanting that are required of the assembly. Contact with the Eastern Church reveals some key values that have been obscured in our own Church and are slowly being recovered. --James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 25 de agosto de 2013 Robustezcan sus manos cansadas y sus rodillas vacilantes; caminen por un camino plano, para que el cojo ya no se tropiece, sino más bien se alivie. — Hebreos 12:12-13 Domingo 25 de Agosto. Domingo 21 Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios En el Evangelio descubrimos una pregunta que brota espontáneamente del corazón de muchos cristianos: ¿Quiénes se salvarán? ¿Cuántos se salvarán? ¿Cuántos se condenarán? En la época de Jesús éste era un cuestionamiento habitual; los rabinos estaban de acuerdo en afirmar que la salvación era exclusiva para los judíos. El Señor no responde directamente a la pregunta, más bien exhorta a todos "Esfuércense en entrar por la puerta estrecha. Les digo que muchos intentarán entrar y no podrán..." luego ilustra esta sentencia con una parábola queriendo evitar falsas seguridades; la salvación no depende de la pertenencia a un pueblo o de nuestra pertenencia a la Iglesia. Son excluidos del reino los que dicen conocer a Jesús pero no están dispuestos a entrar por el camino de la conversión, los que no están dispuestos a poner por obra su enseñanza, los que no cumplen la Palabra del Señor. Todo el que busca y sirve a Dios con un corazón sincero, se salvará; todo el que se esfuerza por ser fiel a Dios y a los principios evangélicos: la solidaridad, la fraternidad, luchar contra el egoísmo, la agresividad y la violencia, no dejarse vencer por la idolatría del dinero y de los bienes materiales; todo el que se esfuerza por vivir acorde con las enseñanzas de Jesús, todos estos son los que se salvarán. No nos angustiemos pensando en salvación o condenación, escuchemos la invitación que Jesús nos hace: convirtámonos a fin de ser merecedores del banquete del reino eterno. Dios nos llama a todos a la santidad y ser santo según el evangelio no es realizar grandes hazañas ni hechos portentosos, es amar, servir y glorificar a Dios en todas las circunstancias de la vida diaria y amar a los hermanos.

Grupo Pro-Vida de Incarnation Para Orar con la Palabra de Dios CORRÍGEME, SEÑOR Porque, la salvación que Tú me ofreces es eterna frente a lo efímero que veo Es futura, no de hoy para mañana. Es universal, no para unos pocos. CORRIGEME, SEÑOR Aún estoy a tiempo: de dar con la puerta que conduce a tu Paraíso de abrir la puerta que lleva a la felicidad auténtica de empujar la puerta que me enseña la eternidad, de contemplar, detrás de tu puerta, que sólo vives Tú, que sólo reinas Tú y que, en el cielo, aun siendo difícil entrar la llave y la clave la tenemos en la FE que Tú nos das Amén

Los esperamos, porque quedarse en silencio es dejar de luchar por la vida. Únase a nuestro grupo. Para más información comuníquese con: Azucena Zavala 813-410-5737 o Brunilda Reyes 813-841-5366.

La Legión de María es un asociación de hombres y mujeres católicos quienes con el permiso de la iglesia bajo la guía poderosa de María Inmaculada han forado una legión que esta perpetuamente apoyada por la iglesia. Estamos al Servicio de Jesús a través de María. Visitamos enfermos en sus hogares, en asilos y hospitales. Acompañamos en funerales y novenarios para difuntos, entre otras actividades espirituales. Visitamos hogares propagando la devoción del Santo Rosario. Nos reunimos una vez por semana todos los sábados a las 9:30am en el salón St. Francis 2.
