Si se le pide que sea padrino, para el sacramento del Bautismo o la Con irmacion, uno de los requisitos es recibir una carta de la iglesia certi icando que usted asiste a Misa regularmente. Tenemos una parroquia grande y la unica manera de saber si viene a Misa regularmente es el uso de sus sobres. Todos los feligreses registrados tienen un numero de familia, el cual es el numero que se utiliza para su identi icacion y es el que se imprime en el exterior de los sobres. Por favor, use los sobres, no necesariamente tiene que colocar alguna cantidad en el interior, pero el numero en el exterior nos permite saber que estan asistiendo a Misa regularmente.

MEDITACION DEL EVANGELIO- ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MAS PROFUNDO DE LAS ESCRITURAS 23 de junio de 2019 El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo Nos dice el Evangelio: "Hagan sentar a la gente en grupos de cincuenta". Ası lo hicieron los discıpulos, y todos se sentaron. "Jesus entonces tomo los cinco panes y los dos pescados, levanto los ojos al cielo, pronuncio la bendicion, los partio y se los entrego a sus discıpulos para que los distribuyeran a la gente. Todos comieron hasta saciarse. Despues se recogieron los pedazos que habıan sobrado, y llenaron doce canastos". (Lucas 9:15-17). Esta es una hermosa historia que debe ser contada una y otra vez de generacion en generacion, como una gran nueva de liberacion y sanacion para toda la humanidad. Hablar del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo trae consigo una gran responsabilidad de agradecimiento y renovacion. Nadie que toma el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo en la Eucaristıa puede seguir siendo la misma persona. ¿Quien podrıa seguir viviendo de la misma manera si acude a la Eucaristıa? Comulgar exige cambios, retos y compromisos; Compromisos de apoyo y solidaridad para los que tienen hambre, para los que no tienen voz. Sobretodo, un cristiano seguidor de Jesucristo debe de aprender a ser feliz, a sonreır y tener esperanza en un mundo mejor. Su lema diario debe ser justicia, perdon y amor. La Eucaristıa lleva todo esto y aun va mas alla; compromiso de ser otro Cristo para los demas. En el Evangelio, Jesus es muy generoso, da de comer hasta saciarse, ofrece el Reino de Dios y muestra una forma nueva de vivir. Ojala que el pan compartido en cada Eucaristıa sirva para que cese la violencia en nuestras fronteras, ya sean fısicas o fronteras del corazon. Espıritu mismo es vida en la Trinidad. ¡Amen!
