Let us Pray For the Sick Prayer: Almighty and eternal God, you are the everlasting health of those who believe in you. Hear us for your sick servant ____________ for whom we implore the aid of your tender mercy, that being restored to bodily health, they may give thanks to you in your church. Through Christ our Lord. Our Father… Hail Mary…. Glory Be

Please note that the list of the sick will be updated every month, and we will offer a special mass for these patients.

Remember that there will be a new list every month. If you are interested in having your family member's name continue on

the list, please call the parish office.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

ENGLISH

Returning Thanks

A foreign leper is cleansed and in thanksgiving returns to offer homage to the God of Israel. We hear this same story in both the First Reading and Gospel today. There were many lepers in Israel in Elisha's time, but only Naaman the Syrian trusted in God's Word and was cleansed (see Luke 5:12-14). Today's Gospel likewise implies that most of the 10 lepers healed by Jesus were Israelites - but only a foreigner, the Samaritan, returned.

In a dramatic way, we're being shown today how faith has been made the way to salvation, the road by which all nations will join themselves to the Lord, becoming His servants, gathered with the Israelites into one chosen people of God, the Church .

Today's Psalm also looks forward to the day when all peoples will see what Naaman sees - that there is no God in all the earth except the God of Israel. We see this day arriving in today's Gospel. The Samaritan leper is the only person in the New Testament who personally thanks Jesus. The Greek word used to describe his "giving thanks" is the word we translate as "Eucharist."

And these lepers today reveal to us the inner dimen-sions of the Eucharist and sacramental life. We, too have been healed by our faith in Jesus. As Naaman's flesh is made again like that of a little child, our souls have been cleansed of sin in the waters of Baptism. We experience this cleansing again and again in the Sacrament of Penance - as we repent our sins, beg and receive mercy from our Master, Jesus.

We return to glorify God in each Mass, to offer ourselves in sacrifice - falling on our knees before our Lord, giving thanks for our salvation.

In this Eucharist, we remember "Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David," Israel's covenant king. And we pray, as Paul does in today's Epistle, to persevere in this faith - that we too may live and reign with Him in eternal glory.

Oremos por los Enfermos

Oración: Señor Jesucristo, que para redi-mir a los hombres y sanar a los enfer-mos quisiste asumir nuestra condición humana, mira con piedad a : Orlando Lamboy, Minerva D. & Maria Serrata, Juan Cruz, Maria Rivera, Doris Maldonado.

_______, que están enfermos y necesita ser curados en el cuerpo y en el espíritu. Reconfórtalo con tu po-der para que levante su ánimo y pueda superar todos sus males; y, ya que has querido asociarlo a tu Pasión redentora, haz que confíen en la eficacia del dolor para la salvación del mundo. Tú que vives y reinas por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Padre Nuestro… Dios te salve Maria…Gloria…

Tenga en cuenta que la lista de enfermos se actualizará cada mes, ofreceremos una misa especial para estos enfermos. Recuerde que cada mes habrá una nueva lista. Si estas in-teresado en que el nombre de su familiar continue en la lista favor llamar a la oficina parroquial.

Gracias por su cooperación y comprensión.

Reflexion del Evangelio

El evangelista hoy nos habla de una fe adulta, una fe agradecida, porque, ¿de qué nos sirve la curación sino nos encontramos de forma personal con Dios? Los leprosos se acercan a Jesús, guardan la dis-tancia requerida por la ley y le piden a Jesús que tenga misericordia de ellos. Jesús los envía para que vayan donde están los sacerdotes. Todos se encaminan hacia ese encuentro, pero en el camino todos quedan curados. Uno de ellos, al ver que está curado se vuelve hacía donde está Jesús para agradecerle la curación. El samaritano de-mostró su alegría, su gozo, alabo al Señor Jesús, se acercó a Él porque su vida a partir de ese instante era diferente. ¿Cuántos de nosotros, nos volvemos para dar gra-cias a Dios por su misericordia, por su amor incon-dicional? Estamos continuamente pidiendo, no nos cansamos, pero agradecer siempre lo olvidamos. Cada vez las personas vamos alejándonos más de Jesús en lugar de acercamos como el samaritano, nos comportamos como los otros nueves leprosos, seguimos y no nos volvemos para agradecer su misericordia. Como cristianos nuestra fe en Él debe ser como la semilla de una flor que va creciendo día a día. Una fe adulta, alegre, llena de vida de energía que alivie el dolor de los marginados, de los que viven en soledad y por supuesto de los enfermos. «Un cristiano triste es un triste cristiano», porque la fe debe generar en nosotros gozo, alegría, emoción y felicidad y esto sólo se da en el encuentro per-sonal. Pensemos durante esta semana que significa Dios en nuestra vida y si nos hemos encontrado con Jesús, si lo buscamos o simplemente pasamos de Él.

TODAY’S GOSPEL: Lk 17:11-19

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a vil-lage, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!" And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."

The Word of God Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
