We have a greater appreciation of the value and dignity of the human family because he loved and was loved within its shelter. Bless us this day; may we grow in love for each other in our family and so give thanks to you who are the maker of all human families and our abiding peace. From The Catholic Prayer Book, compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley In Gratitude Thank you, Father, for having created us and given us to each other in the human family. Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us. From The Catholic Prayer Book, compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley. Thanksgiving Table Prayer O Gracious God, we give you thanks for your overflowing generosity to us. Thank you for the blessings of the food we eat and especially for this feast today. Thank you for our home and family and friends, especially for the presence of those gathered here.

We thank you for our senses By which we hear the songs of birds, And see the splendor of the summer fields, And taste of the autumn fruits, And rejoice in the feel of the snow, And smell the breath of the spring. Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty; And save our souls from being so blind That we pass unseeing When even the common thornbush Is aflame with your glory, O God our creator, Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. From Living God’s Justice: Reflections and Prayers, compiled by The Roundtable Association of Diocesan Social Action Directors Thanksgiving Prayer This Thanksgiving let those of us who have much and those who have little gather at the welcoming table of the Lord.

SACRISTY AFTER MASS THIS WEEKEND. THANK YOU !!!
NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO,
REY DEL UNIVERSO
Mateo 25, 31-46
23 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2014
Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga… se sentará en su trono
de gloria. (Mateo 25, 31)
Hoy día celebramos la Solemnidad de Jesucristo, Rey del
Universo, el “Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores”, al que un
día todas las creaturas aclamarán con grandes voces diciendo: “Al que está sentado en el trono y al Cordero, la
alabanza, el honor, la gloria y el poder, por los siglos de los
siglos” (Apocalipsis 5, 13). La semana que hoy comienza es
la última del año litúrgico.
Reflexionando sobre el significado de esta solemnidad, se
nos vienen a la mente algunos de los atributos divinos de
nuestro Rey: su omnisciencia, omnipresencia, su naturaleza
divina e inmutable, etc. Pero Jesús es también la revelación
del Padre, que se presentó a Moisés como el “Dios tierno y
compasivo”. Él es el Buen Pastor, que cuida a su rebaño,
buscando a sus ovejas y llevándolas a buenos pastos; es el
Mesías de Dios, que se conmueve por los pequeños y los
enfermos, por los que sufren y por los que tienen hambre de
la Palabra de Dios.
Infinitas son la ternura y la misericordia de nuestro Rey, y
él quiere que sus fieles tengamos su mismo espíritu de compasión y generosidad. En efecto, el Señor sigue visitando,
por intermedio nuestro, al hambriento, el sediento, el enfermo, el sin casa, el encarcelado, y utiliza las manos y pies de
sus discípulos para llevar ayuda a quienes necesitan alimento, ropa, albergue y un oído atento y compasivo. Aunque las obras de caridad no sustituyen a la fe para la salvación, nosotros también seremos juzgados por las obras que
hagamos o dejemos de hacer.
Los servicios que hagamos demuestran cuánto amamos a
Jesús, porque él también está presente en los pobres, los
postergados y los indefensos. Cuando nuestro Rey vuelva en
gloria, qué alegría será escuchar su invitación: “Vengan,
benditos de mi Padre; tomen posesión del Reino preparado
para ustedes desde la creación del mundo”.
“Dios y Señor nuestro, concédenos una mayor parte de tu
amor para que se nos agrande el corazón y aprendamos a
reconocerte en los demás y servirte en ellos.”
Ezequiel 34, 11-12. 15-17; Salmo 22, 1-6; 1 Corintios 15, 20-26. 28
FELIZ DIA DE ACCION DE GRACIAS
TE DESEAMOS TODOS LOS SERVIDORES
DE TU PARROQUIA!!
HORA SANTA
La Cofradía del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, invita
todos los primeros viernes de mes comenzando
este viernes 5 de diciembre de 7:30-8:30pm, en
nuestra Iglesia a que ESTEMOS EN COMPAÑÍA DE JESUS SACRAMENTADO en esta Hora
Santa de adoración al Santísimo Sacramento.
“¡Denle gracias, bendigan su nombre!
Porque el Señor es bueno; su amor es eterno
y su fidelidad no tiene fin.”
(Salmo 100, 4-5)
El Día de Acción de Gracias surgió en los Estados Unidos en
1621 cuando los peregrinos celebraron la primera cena de
agradecimiento a Dios por la abundancia de las cosechas que
habían obtenido en el nuevo mundo. Algunos nativos habían
recibido amistosamente a los peregrinos recién llegados de
Europa y compartieron con ellos sus conocimientos sobre las
cosechas y la caza. Como muestra de gratitud por la buena
cosecha y lo bien que habían sido acogidos por aquellas
tierras, los peregrinos celebraron, junto con los nativos de la
región, una cena fraternal.
La gratitud a la Providencia Divina fue la esencia principal
de aquella histórica cena, que marcó el inicio de una
tradición que echaría profundas raíces, pues hoy en día toda
la familia, amigos, colegas e incluso vecinos se reúnen para
dar gracias a Dios por las numerosas bendiciones recibidas
durante el año. Es una ocasión alegre, de confraternidad,
cuyo propósito principal es celebrar la unidad familiar.
En efecto, las familias se reúnen en Thanksgiving con más
frecuencia que en cualquier otra fiesta, incluso que en
Navidad. Esta celebración tiene como objetivo agradecer a
Dios todo lo que la tierra nos ha dado, además de tener la
maravillosa oportunidad de reunirse con la familia a
compartir la cena. “Por eso, los católicos no sólo debemos
celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias con profundo espíritu
de oración, agradecimiento y alegría, sino que la celebración
de este día nos debe llevar a recordar que nuestra vida como
católicos es una constante acción de gracias. Que a través de
nuestros actos de la vida cotidiana, todos ellos deben dar
gloria a Dios, y de manera especial a través de la celebración
de la Eucaristía”. “Gracias te doy, Padre celestial, desde
el fondo de mi alma por todas las enormes bendiciones que
me has prodigado a mí y a mi familia. También te doy
gracias, Padre, por aquellos que se olvidaron de dártelas y de
los que no te conocen. ¡Gracias, Señor!”
Apocalipsis 18, 1-2. 21-23; 19, 1-3. 9; Salmo 99, 1-5
