Intercessions

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

-- August 23, 2015 --

That trusting in Christ’s words to Peter,

all those called to follow the Lord as priests,

deacons and in the consecrated life will

recognize the gift of their call and follow

Him faithfully, we pray to the Lord.

Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

Please remember in your prayers the sick of our parish:

XXI domingo en el tiempo Ordinario

San Juan 6, 55-60-69 23 de Agosto de 2015

En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús nos urge a que sigamos siendo fieles a Él, y a

que continuemos viviendo en el “espíritu que nos da la vida”.

Cuando vivimos en el Espíritu de Jesús trascendemos de nuestra vida común y corriente para empezar a vivir una vida más excelsa. El amor divino nos colma de tal manera, que somos como estrellas cuyo brillo ha sido eclipsado completamente por la luz del sol. Dios vive en nosotros, y nuestro único deseo es unir nuestra voluntad a Su Voluntad.

Para seguir progresando en nuestra vida en el Espíritu de Jesús, antes que nada debemos aceptarnos a nosotros mismos con todo y nuestras imperfecciones. No se den por vencidos, sean pacientes. Esperen y prosigan en el cumplimiento de sus actividades diarias llenos júbilo. Hagan todo lo que se les ha enseñado con un espíritu de gentileza y fidelidad. Desarrollen un espíritu de com-pasión. Una vez hayamos sembrado y regado debemos comprender que el desarrollo de esos árboles, que rep-resentan nuestras buenas inclinaciones y hábitos, queda en manos de Dios. Es por esta razón que debemos es-perar para poder obtener los frutos de nuestros deseos, y de nuestra labor, de manos de la Divina Providencia. No se dejen perturbar si se dan cuenta que no logran progresar como deseaban. En el momento en que toma-mos la decisión de vivir una vida sagrada, la totalidad de nuestra existencia queda destinada a convertirse en una prueba práctica. Permanezcamos en paz; esfor-cémonos por lograr que la calma reine siempre en nues-tros corazones. De nosonues-tros depende que podamos culti-var bien nuestras almas, y debemos asistirlas fielmente en dicho empeño. Pero en lo que se refiere a tener una cosecha abundante, dejemos esto al cuidado de nuestro Señor. El trabajador jamás será responsable por una mala cosecha, a menos que él o ella no hayan sembrado el campo con el cuidado necesario. Nuestra dependen-cia constante en Dios nos asegura que estamos planta-dos sólidamente donde Él desea que estemos.

No me cabe la menor duda que nuestro Salvador los lleva siempre de la mano. Si en algún momento tropiezan, es sólo para recordarles que si sueltan Su mano la próxima vez van a caerse. Para aquellos de no-sotros que amamos y tenemos esperanza en Dios, nues-tra debilidad no resulta tan grande como Su misericor-dia.

EL GRUPO DE ORACIÓN ‘CAMINANDO EN LA FE”

Está invitando una vez más a toda la Comunidad a parti-cipar de un tiempo con Jesús, por medio del Santo Rosa-rio, Lectura Bíblica, reflexión y alabanza.
