DID YOU KNOW? The residual effects of
having been abused can last a lifetime
Those who have been abused seldom just “get over it.” The sense of violation goes deep into a person’s
psyche and feelings of anger, shame, hurt and betrayal can build long after the abuse has taken place. Some
have even described the feeling as if it has scarred their soul. Those who have been abused can heal, but it
often takes time, therapy, and the support of loved ones. As a Church, we can help support those who
have been abused by keeping them in prayer and providing opportunties for healing.

Raindrops keep falling on my head...
Como ovejas sin Pastor
Del santo Evangelio según san Marcos 6, 30-34 Los apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y lo que habían enseñado. Él, entonces, les dice: «Venid también vosotros aparte, a un lugar solitario, para descansar un poco.» Pues los que iban y venían eran muchos, y no les quedaba tiempo ni para comer. Y se fueron en la barca, aparte, a un lugar solitario. Pero les vieron marcharse y muchos cayeron en cuenta; y fueron allá corriendo, a pie, de todas las ciudades y llegaron antes que ellos. Y al desembarcar, vio mucha gente, sintió compasión de ellos, pues estaban como ovejas que no tienen pastor, y se puso a enseñarles muchas cosas. Oración introductoria Jesucristo, te doy gracias por los momentos en que piensas en mí sin que yo me dé siquiera cuenta. Concédeme imitar tu ejemplo. Que aprenda a mirar las necesidades de los demás antes que las mías. Que lo haga de corazón, no por aparentar. Te pido por mis seres queridos, por mis amigos y por las personas que aún no te conocen. Quiero ofrecerte esta oración en acción de gracias por tu presencia en la Eucaristía y en mi corazón. Petición Llévame, Señor, al silencio de mi alma para estar contigo y gozar de tu presencia. Meditación del Papa Francisco El Evangelio de hoy nos dice que los apóstoles después de la experiencia de la misión, están contentos pero cansados. Y Jesús lleno de comprensión quiere darles un poco de alivio. Entonces les lleva a aparte, un lugar apartado para que puedan reposarse un poco. "Muchos entretanto los vieron partir y entendieron... y los anticiparon". Y a este punto el evangelista nos ofrece una imagen de Jesús de particular intensidad, 'fotografiando' por así decir sus ojos y recogiendo los sentimientos de su corazón. Dice así el evangelista: “Al desembarcar, Jesús vio una gran muchedumbre y se compadeció de ella, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor, y estuvo enseñándoles largo rato”. Retomemos los tres verbos de este sugestivo fotograma: ver, tener compasión, enseñar. Los podemos llamar los "verbos del Pastor". El primero y el segundo están siempre asociados a la actitud de Jesús: de hecho su mirada no es la de un sociólogo o la de un foto reporter, porque Él mira siempre "con los ojos de corazón". Estos dos verbos: "ver" y "tener compasión", configuran a Jesús como el Buen Pastor. También su compasión no es solo un sentimiento humano, pero es la conmoción del Mesías en la que se hizo carne la ternura de Dios. Y de esta compasión nace el deseo de Jesús de nutrir a la multitud con el pan de su palabra. O sea, enseñar la palabra de Dios a la gente. Jesús ve; Jesús tiene compasión; Jesús enseña. ¡Que bello es esto! Reflexión La caridad de Jesucristo no conoce el ensimismamiento en los propios problemas o dificultades. Él nos enseña a salir del círculo estrecho de mi "yo y mis circunstancias", sean éstas felices o penosas. Cuando más queramos encerrarnos en nosotros mismos, levantemos la mirada del corazón y veamos a Cristo en la barca, predicando sin descanso a sus hermanos, los hombres. Imitemos su ejemplo y extendamos su Reino con generosidad. Pensemos en lo que realmente vale la pena: la salvación de las almas a nosotros encomendadas. Propósito Procuraré escuchar a mis amigos, familiares y compañeros con atención y sin dar muestras de prisas. Diálogo con Cristo
