WE REMEMBER THEM
In the rising of the sun and its going down, we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.
In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn, we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them.
When we have joys and yearn to share, we remember them.
They shall live forever in the Communion of the Saints,
and in the arms of God.
As long as we live, they too will live
because we remember them.

FOCUS ON THE WORD
32th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
In Luke’s gospel, Jesus seems quite reticent in talking at length about the specifics of life
after death. To the Sadducees’ question, Jesus simply replies that after resurrection there will no
longer be a need of bearing children—we will all be children of God. In other episodes of the
gospel there is the same reticence. Jesus alludes to gaining a reward in heaven and the coming of
the Son of Man in glory. Lazarus in a parable will be carried by angels to the bosom of Abraham.
In his last hour, Jesus promises Paradise to the thief who is dying with him on a cross. The principal
focus, however, of Jesus’ teaching is on the present. “Blessed are those who hear the word of God
and keep it” (Lk 11:28). They will be counted among the blessed at the Lord’s coming in judgment.
Jesus’ attention to the supreme importance of responding to the reality of the present moment is
evident not only in his teaching, but in his own life. Luke tells us that when Jesus realized that his
own death was imminent, he did not explain to his disciples what would happen to him after his
death. Rather, he prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, still, not my will but
yours be done.” It is in the reality of that moment that Jesus hears the word of God, and keeps it.
He could put his life into God’s hands at that moment because he trusted that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would not abandon him to the power of death.
We encounter God and can respond to his will only in the narrow gate of our own present moment, our day of salvation. We do not encounter God in the feelings of past moments that
we try to hang on to, or in the feelings of future moments that we try to imagine. Now is the only
time for the decision of faith and for the works of love.
Because God is the God of the living, when we encounter God in faith we are in the
presence of all who are in communion with God. Each Sunday in the Eucharistic prayer, we sing
“Holy, Holy, Holy” with the Risen Lord and with all who are alive in him. It is a natural trajectory
from the good news of Jesus’ affirmation that our life as God’s children does not end with death to
the good news that Pope Paul VI gave us to affirm in the Credo of the People of God. “We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are
being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one church; and we believe that in
this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always attentive to our prayers.”

XXXII Niedziela Zwykla
"DIOS DE VIVIOS"
«No es Dios de muertos, sino de vivos:
porque para él todos están vivos». ¿Cómo
he vivido las pasadas celebraciones de
Todos los Santos y Fieles Difuntos? ¿Qué
ha predominado más, el simple recuerdo
o la esperanza en la resurrección? ¿Cómo
es mi fe en la resurrección? ¿Esta fe me da
fuerza para afrontar la certeza de mi
propia muerte? ¿Me ayuda a dar el justo
valor a las cosas de este mundo, también
las situaciones dolorosas, sin caer en la
desesperación?
La Eucaristía es el momento cumbre de
nuestra comunión con Cristo Resucitado.
Cada vez que la celebramos, tras la
consagración, decimos: “Anunciamos tu
muerte, proclamamos tu resurrección”. Y al
proclamar su resurrección, también
proclamamos la de todos los que han
muerto en Cristo, y a los que también nos
unimos en la comunión de los santos.
Por eso, lo mejor que podemos hacer por
ellos es celebrar la Eucaristía. No nos
quedemos en el simple respeto a su
memoria, en el recuerdo: vivamos la
Eucaristía como encuentro con el Señor
Resucitado y, por Él, sintámonos unidos a
nuestros difuntos. Y que esta certeza nos
dé fuerza en la vida presente para toda
clase de palabras y obras buenas, que a
pesar de los momentos dolorosos sigamos
esperando en Cristo, y con Él y por Él
participemos de la Resurrección.
ORACION
Padre, Gracias por amarnos tanto,
Gracias por concedernos la gracia de la
Resurreccion,
Te alabo, te bendigo y te amo...
Te pido perdon por todos aquellos que
han partido
y no te alabaron, bendijeron y amaron...
Gracias por concedernos la gracia de
verlos algun dia
en el cielo, y ser como
"los angeles."
Y aqui en la tierra
Yo te alabo, te amo y glorifico
junto con Maria la Virgen, los angeles y
los Santos
en el cielo, por que eres bueno...
Por que eres Misericordioso,
y por que aun mas que nosotros...
Tu, mi Dios, me anas tanto!
Bendito y alabado seas por siempre
Señor. Amen.
Bóg jest Bogiem żywych; czczony jest przez żywych, a nie umarłych.
Człowiek nie może umrzeć, gdyż jest umiłowanym dzieckiem Boga. Bóg
zna człowieka osobiście, kocha jak Abrahama i nie pozwoli mu zginąć.
Od śmierci człowieka chroni miłość Boga. I ta miłość obdarza
nieśmiertelnością.
Liturgia chrześcijańskiego pogrzebu ukazuje wyraźnie wiarę Kościoła w
przyszłe życie i w zmartwychwstanie. Ukazuje ona, że śmierć nie jest
końcem, ale jest początkiem nowego życia w Bogu i z Bogiem. Jak
śpiewamy w prefacji za zmarłych: „Albowiem życie twoich wiernych , o
Panie, zmienia się ale się nie kończy i gdy rozpadnie się dom doczesnej
pielgrzymki, znajdą przygotowane w niebie nowe mieszkanie”.
Dlatego największym nieszczęściem współczesnego człowieka jest niewiara saduceuszów. Nieszczęście to polega na tym, że nie widzi on po
doczesnym życiu innego życia; żyje bez nadziei i światła; wędruje w
ciemnościach z dala od miłości Boga. I ponieważ nie chce tej miłości
przyjąć, jego życie jest mroczne i beznadziejne.
Ale my, chrześcijanie mamy nadzieję na życie wieczne. „Otrzymaliśmy
życie, byśmy szukali Boga; umieramy, by Go znaleźć; otrzymujemy
wieczność, by Go posiadać” (P. Nouet).
