DIA DEL PADRE
Hoy celebramos el día del padre, felicitamos a todos los
padres de familia de nuestra Comunidad Hispana,
pidiendo para ellos todas las bendiciones de Dios y la
protección de Nuestra Santísima Madre.
DUODECIMO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
19 DE JUNIO DE 2016
¿Quién es Cristo para mí? ¿Qué significa en mi vida?
Jesucristo es Dios hecho hombre por mí: una Persona
divina
y dos naturalezas. Dios verdadero y hombre verdadero.
Es
Dios como el Padre. Es el Mesías, el Salvador, el
Perdonador, el Maestro, la Luz del mundo, el Camino, la
Verdad y la Vida, el Amigo, el que muere en la Cruz y
resucita al tercer día por nosotros los hombres y por
nuestra salvación… Es todo para nosotros. Si Jesucristo
lo es todo, merece la pena seguirlo, esto es, vivir según
su Evangelio allí donde nos ha puesto la Providencia de
Dios. Nos dice Jesús:“El que quiera seguirme, que se
niegue a sí mismo cargue con su cruz cada día y se venga
conmigo”. Negarse a sí mismo es vivir según los criterios
del Evangelio, no según los criterios de este mundo.
