Living God’s Word
The Eucharist has been called the “bread
of angels” (Psalm 78:25). It is a free gift
from God. It is offered to give us eternal
life because through it we receive the life
of Christ, “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32). Jesus promised that those
who believe and eat it will hunger and
thirst for nothing throughout all eternity.

What Matters Most? By Cynthia Reyes
In a large Latino family, it is not uncommon for the older children to financially help the family supersede
their poverty level, in hopes for a better life for themselves. Which in my case, it was my eldest brother Gilbert and
my sister Frances. The pair sacrificed and diligently worked, even forgoing their education in order to help the family
economically, and to ensure that we would get an education. Consequently, after my father died, my mother knew she
needed to get things in order before God called her home. My mother’s way of life was to save a nickel because she
remembered the days that she had none. Mom always thought about having enough money for their burial. When the
time came, not only did she have enough money for both funerals, as she also had enough to bury us all, and then
some. Which brings me to the point of this story: my brother and sister inherited my parent’s home, which they sold
and divided the profits. Believe it or not, escrow closed on the day my brother died. He was destined to have his eternal home in heaven, joining my father and mother.
As our Gospel of Luke: 12:13-21, reminds us today, we must empty ourselves of possessions that are our obsessions. We must fully focus on what are the authentic treasures of life that are invaluable to God. God is calling us
to embrace the care of others by what matters most: love, compassion, mercy, trust, kindness, forgiveness, and fidelity.
These are the choices that matter to God and bring us our eternal life. The irony of my brother dying before enjoying
the fruits of his labor, was so typical of his selflessness, that he died knowing that his wife who has Parkinson’s would
be well taken care of. What better gift could my brother had received than to be rewarded with God’s eternal life!
Que Es Lo Más Importante? Por Cynthia Reyes
En una familia latina grande, no es raro que los hijos mayores ayudan económicamente a la familia a reemplazar su nivel de pobreza, con la esperanza de una vida mejor para sí mismos. Así fue en mi caso, fueron mis hermanos mayores Gilberto, y Francisca. Ellos se sacrificaron y trabajaron con diligencia, incluso renunciaron a su educación con el fin de ayudar económicamente a la familia. Ellos se aseguraron de que sus hermanos menores recibieran
una educación. De tal modo que, después de que mi padre murió, mi madre sabía que tenía que poner sus cosas en orden antes de que Dios la llamara a su casa. Mi madre fue muy ahorrativa toda su vida porque recordaba los días en
que ella no tenía ninguna ayuda económica. Mamá siempre se preocupo en ahorrar suficiente dinero para su entierro.
Cuando llegó el momento, no sólo ella tenia el suficiente dinero para su funeral, si no que ella también había ahorrado lo suficiente para enterrarnos a todos nosotros, y algo más. Lo que me lleva al punto de esta historia: como mi hermano y hermana ayudaron tanto a la familia heredaron la casa de mi padre, que se vendió y se dividieron las ganancias. Lo crea o no, la transferencia cero el día que murió mi hermano. Él estaba destinado a tener su casa eterna en el
cielo, uniéndose a mi padre y mi madre.
Así como el Evangelio de San Lucas 12:13-21, nos recuerda hoy, que debemos deshacernos de las posesiones que nos obsesionan. De tal manera debemos centrarnos plenamente en lo que son los auténticos tesoros de la vida
y que son invaluables para Dios. Dios nos llama a abrazar y cuidar de los demás, que es lo que más importa: el amor,
la compasión, la misericordia, la confianza, la bondad, el perdón, y la fidelidad. Estas son las opciones que son importantes para Dios, y para lograr nuestra vida eterna. La ironía es que mi hermano muriera antes de disfrutar de los frutos
de su trabajo, es típico el siempre fue desinteresado en las cosas materiales, que murió sabiendo que su esposa, que
tiene Parkinson estaría bien cuidada. ¿Qué mejor regalo podía haber recibido mi hermano por su bondad que ser recompensado con la vida eterna de Dios!

DID YOU KNOW? Keep your kids safe in the park this summer The weather outside is beautiful, and one of the best places to play is the park. However, parents should start every visit to the park with a discussion with their kids about safety plan. Kids
should know what to do if a stranger were to approach them, and who to go to if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. Public
parks are a great place to play, but they are exposed to the public. Having a safety plan in place can help parents and kids feel secure
and play safely this summer. For a copy of the TODAY.com article, email [email protected] call (213) 637.

SABÍA USTED? Mantenga a sus hijos seguro en los parques este verano El clima en el exter ior esta bello y uno de los mejores lugares para jugar es el parque. Sin embargo, los padres de familia deben comenzar toda visita al parque con una platica con
sus hijos sobre un plan de seguridad, Los niños deben saber que hacer si un extraño se les acerca, y a quien ir si ellos se sienten
incomodos o amenazados. Los parques públicos son un gran lugar para jugar, pero están expuestos al publico. Contar con un plan
de seguridad puede ayudar a los padres de familia y a los niños a sentirse seguros y a jugar seguros este verano. Para una copia del
