The 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

UN MOMENTO DE CORRESPONSABILIDAD

En el Evangelio de hoy nosotros escuchamos a Pedro proclamar quien es realmente su amigo y maestro cuando dice a Jesús: “Tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios.” Pedro experimenta muchos altibajos como seguidor de Jesús. Él puede ser impetuoso, impaciente, temeroso y hasta falto de fe. Después de que Pedro había alardeado su fidelidad al Señor, él categóricamente lo negó tres veces. Tal parece que Pedro había “incendiado sus puentes,” pero Jesús amorosamente los reconstruyó y restableció a Pedro para servir. Pedro se convertiría en el principal corresponsable del Evangelio en la primera iglesia. Pedro había fallado a Jesús, pero con Jesús la falta no es el final. Reflexione este fin de semana sobre las veces que usted ha fallado a Jesús. ¿Estuvo usted abierto al perdón de Jesús? ¿Esto le hizo ser un mejor corresponsable del Evangelio?

Próximos eventos

La oficina de la parroquia será cerrado viernes, el 3 de julio, para observar el Cuatro de Julio. El horario de las Misas seguirá siendo el mismo.

El apostolado social de San Antonio de Padua necesita ayuda el primer do-mingo de cada mes con donaciones de alimentos no perecederos tales como cereales, legumbres, arroz, pasta, gal-letas, mantequilla de maní, jalea, y carnes enlatadas y el atún. Se acep-tarán donaciones todas las Misas el 4 y el 5 de julio. Por favor sean generosos.

Grandioso Peregrinaje El Apostolado Hispano tomarán un viaje a la Tierra Santa y Medjugorje el 23 de fe-brero al 4 de marzo de 2016. Para mas información , llama Juan Mata, 504-875-5994. Mas información sobre el viaje:

Tierra Santa– Un viaje a Tierra Santa no es, para un católico, un viaje de turis-mo, sino una peregrinación. Es decir es una ocasión excepcionalmente prove-chosa para tener una experiencia de Jesús y de su obra salvadora. Nuestra peregrinación a Tierra Santa debe ser hecha con espíritu de oración: no se trata solo de “ver,” de oír explicacio-nes, de fotografiar, sino de “escuchar” los susurros silenciosos de los lugares en los que cobran nueva vida las palabras inspiradas por el Espíritu Santo, como ocurre con las Sagradas Escrituras. Cada lugar es propicio para hacerse

una pregunta: ¿Qué me dice esta lu-gar?

Llegaremos a Tel Aviv, iremos al Monte Car-melo Santuario de la Virgen del Carmen. Seguiremos nuestro peregrinaje hasta llegar a

Nazaret. Estaremos en la Basílica de la Anun-ciación donde tendremos la Santa Misa.

Medjugorje—Durante casi 30 anos en Medjugorje, una ciudad de Bosnia-Herzegovina, seis videntes afirman que la Santísima Virgen, la “Gospa,” se les aparece todos los días.

La Virgen María en Medjugorje parece pedir a los peregrinos que la visitan, que lleven a sus comunidades y parroquias de origen, la importancia de lo que allí han visto y aprendi-do: la oración y de la Adoración Eucarística, de la lectura de la Palabra de Dios, de la confesión y del ayuno.

SAN JUDAS

San Judas creyó siempre que su único objetivo en la vida era entregarse completamente al servicio de Jesucristo. Esa entrega total de sí mismo al Maestro, le mereció, como premio, la corona del martirio. Cuando San Judas se dirige a los fieles Cristianos, lo hace como a compañeros también llamados, amados y protegidos por Jesucristo. Ahora bien, cuando una persona es llamada o invitada a hacer algo, puede ser de tres maneras: a) Para hacerse cargo de un puesto, de una responsabilidad, o de una obligación; b) Para asistir a una reunión, o a una fiesta social; c) Para dar cuenta de si mismo, o de sus acciones. San Judas nos dice que él fue llamado para ser APOSTOL, y que esto le llenó de alegria y a la vez de responsabilidad, porque tenía muy en cuenta las palabras de Jesucristo "A quien mucho se le da, se le pedirá cuenta de mucho". San Judas, estuvo siempre dispuesto a dar cuenta de sí mismo.

Como San Judas, todos los cristianos somos llamados a seguir a Jesucristo, junto con el gozo de ese llamado especial, tenemos también tenemos la gran responsabilidad de corresponder a tan sublime llamamiento y de estar dispuestos en todo momento a dar cuenta de los talentos o gracias que Dios nos ha dado. A medida que aumenta el conocimiento del amor de Dios hacía nosotros, así cambia también la

psicología del cristiano con respecto a su modo de corresponder a Dios, amándole más y sirviéndole mejor, no por temor, sino por amor. San Judas estaba muy compenetrado en esta doctrina. La mejor manera de mostrarnos su amor fué cuando Dios nos envió a su único Hijo y Salvador nuestro, para redimirnos, prueba que convenció a San Judas de que Dios es nuestro Padre y que desea que sus hijos participen de Su vida divina lo mas íntimamente posible.

Al decirnos San Judas que el cristiano es aquel a quien Cristo protege, nos da a entender que el cristiano nunca está solo. Cristo, dice San Judas, está siempre vigilando a sus criaturas prote-giéndolas cada vez que alguna preocupación, desesperación o desilusión los agobia en el que-hacer diario. Parece que San Judas se está referiendose a si mismo y a todos los seguidores de Jesucristo, al dirigir su carta "a los amados de Dios Padre, llamados y protegidos por Cristo Jesús"

Rincón de oración

Señor Jesucristo, creo en tu conocimiento. Creo en tu poder. Creo en tu amor. Por lo tanto,

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, pongo toda mi confianza en ti.

Creo que te importa. Y rezo con Maria y toda la Igle-

sia para las intenciones del Papa de este mes: Para que el encuen-tro personal con Jesús suscite en muchos jóvenes el deseo de ofre-cerle la propia vida en el sacer-docio o en la vida consagrada.
