Mission Statement

Sharing the treasure of our

Catholic Faith and

centered in the Eucharist, we

at Corpus Christi Parish strive

to be true disciples of Christ

to all.

Liturgy of the Day

God has gathered us here today so that we may be

strengthened in our faith regardless of the obstacles

that we face. Being a disciple is difficult and can

indeed cause division among the people we know. As

we begin our worship today, let us pray for the

strength to be the best disciples that we can be, and

for the courage to do God’s will whatever the cost.

Liturgia del Día

Dios nos ha reunido hoy aquí para fortificarnos en la

fe a pesar de los obstáculos que enfrentamos. Ser

discípulo es difícil y bien pudiera ser causa de

división entre las personas que conocemos. Al

comenzar nuestra celebración de hoy, oremos para

recibir la fuerza necesaria a fin de ser los mejores

discípulos posible y por la valentía para hacer la

voluntad de Dios sin importar lo que nos cueste.

“Keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the

leader and perfecter of faith.”

Homilía De

Hoy

Agosto es para muchas personas un tiempo de relajación y de darse al disfrute

de los largos y cálidos días de verano. ¡Las Escrituras de hoy empiezan con algo

nada fácil! Dice así acerca del profeta de Dios Jeremías: “los jefes que tenían

prisionero a Jeremías dijeron al rey: ‘Hay que matar a este hombre, porque. . .

no busca el bienestar del pueblo, sino su perdición’ ” (Jeremías 38:4). A decir

verdad, Jeremías estaba completamente interesado en el bienestar del pueblo

escogido de Dios. Por eso desafió a todos para que vivieran según lo exigía la

ley de Dios. Y por eso era que sus acusadores querían matarlo.

Jeremías en aquel entonces y Jesús hoy. Después de haber comenzado el Año

Jubilar de la Misericordia el Evangelio de Navidad según san Lucas describía a

unos ángeles cantando: “Gloria a Dios en las alturas y en la tierra paz” (2:14).

Jesús pregunta: “¿Piensan acaso que he venido a traer paz a la tierra? No he

venido a traer la paz, sino la división” (12:51). Aún más dramáticamente que el

profeta Jeremías, el Mesías Jesús nos desafía a abandonar nuestros intereses

egoístas y a promover la paz verdadera de Dios por medio de nuestra propia

entrega. La misión de Jesús de “traer fuego a la tierra” nos llama a proclamar el

mandamiento de Jesús de amarnos los unos a los otros (12:49). El destino de

Jesús, al cual él mismo se refiere cuando dice, “tengo que recibir un bautismo”,

nos exhorta a practicar en nuestra vida el mandamiento de Jesús de amar a todos

(12:50). El legado de Jesús de “no la paz, sino la división” nos exige demostrar

el mandamiento de Jesús de renunciar a los intereses personales y entregarnos a

trabajar por la paz de Jesús en todo momento (cfr. 12:51).

¿Cómo lograr cumplir el llamado desafiante de Jesús comenzando en este Año

Jubilar de la Misericordia? La carta a los hebreos nos lo describe exactamente:

Primero, estamos “rodeados…por la multitud de antepasados nuestros, que

dieron prueba de su fe”. Y no sólo nuestros antepasados, sino de otros que están

aún entre nosotros y que nos dan ejemplo de cómo vivir el amor de Jesús, y con

su testimonio nos dicen: “no se cansen ni pierdan el ánimo” (12:1, 3). ¿Cómo

podremos hacer eso? Manteniendo siempre “fija la mirada en Jesús, autor y

consumador de nuestra fe” (12:2).

Pregunta de la semana

¿De qué manera el mantener siempre “fija la mirada en Jesús” me ayuda a

difundir la paz verdadera en mi pequeño rincón del mundo”?

Misa a las 8:30 a.m.
