LAYLA AGUIRRE & LESLEY TORRES!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 2 de febrero se celebrará la Candelaria. En este día se conmemora la purificación de María, cuarenta días después de que dio a luz a Jesús. Candelaria viene del verbo la n candere (brillar), de allí la palabra candela, o sea, veladora. La celebración de la Purificación de María y la Presentación del Niño Jesús en el templo se conmemora con la bendición de todas las velas y veladoras que se van a usar durante el año.

Esto se hace con la esperanza de que nunca falte la luz, tanto material como espiritual, en las casas de los fieles. Los cris anos, como Simeón en el templo, pueden decir que ellos también han visto la salvación; Jesús la verdadera luz que brilla en brazos de María.

En Puerto Rico tradicionalmente esta fiesta se celebra con la quemazón de los árboles de navidad, basura, palos, cosas viejas, etc. Esta costumbre subraya el deseo de dejar atrás todo lo malo para que llegue lo bueno; es decir terminar con la oscuridad para que brille la luz. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

ENTRADA Cristo nos da la libertad, Cristo nos da la salvación. Cristo nos da la esperanza, Cristo nos da el amor. 2x

Cuando luche por la paz y la verdad, la encontraré. Cuando cargue con la cruz de los demás, me salvaré.

Dame Señor, Tu Palabra, oye Señor, mi oración.

Cuando sepa perdonar de corazón, tendré perdón. Cuando siga los caminos del amor, veré al Señor. Dame Señor, Tu Palabra, oye Señor, mi oración.

SALMO

Ojalá escuchen hoy la voz del Señor: “No endurezcan el corazón”.

OFERTORIO

Esto que te doy, mi vida es Señor; esto que te doy, es mi trabajo. Es la ilusión mi sueño, es mi gozo y mi llorar, el esfuerzo de mi caminar.

Esto que te doy no solo yo Señor, esta voz también es de mi hermano. Es la unión la paz el orden, la armonía y felicidad, es mi canto en comunidad.

Toma mi vida, ponla en tu corazón, dame tu mano y llévame cambia mi pan en tu carne, y mi vino en tu sangre y a mi señor, renuévame, límpiame y sálvame.

COMUNIÓN:

Tú has venido a la orilla, no has buscado ni a sabios ni a ricos. Tan sólo quieres que yo te siga.

Señor, me has mirado a los ojos, sonriendo has dicho mi nombre. En la arena he dejado mi barca: junto a Ti buscaré otro mar.

Tú sabes bien lo que tengo, en mi barca no hay oro ni espadas, tan sólo redes y mi trabajo.

Tú necesitas mis manos, mi cansancio que a otros descanse, amor que quiera seguir amando.

Tú, pescador de otros mares, ansia eterna de almas que esperan. Amigo bueno que así te llaman.

SALIDA Tomado de la mano con Jesús yo voy. Le sigo como oveja que encontró al pastor.

Tomado de la mano con Jesús yo voy a donde Él va.

Si Jesús me dice amigo deja todo y ven conmigo. Yo mi mano pongo en la suya y voy con Él.
