Riflessione del mese di gennaio
PREGARE E LEGGERE (Sant'Isidoro)
Chi vuole essere sempre unito a Dio, deve pregare
spesso e leggere spesso, perché nella preghiera siamo
noi che parliamo a Dio, ma nella lettura della Bibbia è Dio
che parla a noi.
LE MESSE PIÙ BELLE
(Cardinale F.X. Nguyen Van Thuan)
Quando sono stato arrestato, ho dovuto andarmene
subito, a mani vuote. L’indomani, mi è stato permesso di
scrivere ai miei per chiedere le cose più necessarie:
vestiti, dentifricio… Ho scritto: “Per favore, mandatemi un
po’ di vino, come medicina contro il mal di stomaco”. I
fedeli subito hanno capito. Mi hanno mandato una piccola
bottiglia di vino per la Messa, con l’etichetta “medicina
contro il mal di stomaco”, e delle ostie nascoste in una
fiaccola contro l’umidità. […] Non potrò mai esprimere la
mia grande gioia: ogni giorno, con tre gocce di vino e una
goccia d’acqua nel palmo della mano, ho celebrato la
Messa. Era questo il mio altare ed era questa la mia
cattedrale! […] Ogni volta avevo l’opportunità di stendere
le mani e di inchiodarmi sulla croce con Gesù, di bere con
lui il calice più amaro. […] Erano le più belle Messe della
mia vita.
F.X. Nguyen van Thuan, vietnamita, quando era
Arcivescovo, trascorse tredici anni del suo episcopato in
prigione, di cui nove in isolamento. Questo è quello che
disse a proposito della celebrazione eucaristica.

Todos los que estaban en la Sinagoga se pusieron
furiosos al oir lo que Jesús decía. La reacción de los
Judíos se comprende si uno entiende lo mucho que
ellos se apegaban a sus creencias . Sin embargo lo
que Jesús decía no era nada Nuevo , ya los profetas
habían preparado el camino y Jesús declaró que en
El se estaban cumpliendo estas y otras promesas
hechas por los antiguos y por las escrituras. Pero
estas palabras de Jesús no son menos importantes
el dia de hoy; donde todavia es necesario anunciar
la Buena nueva sin importar Raza, color o Nación ,
por que fue hecha para todos . Sin embargo que
hace falta en nuesta sociedad para que aceptemos
de corazón esa Palabra y alimento de esperanza y
evangelización? Solo actuando con amor se puede
anunciar el Evangelio , de otro modo el mundo no lo
aceptara.

Evangelizar a la
gente también implica Evengelizar
su
cultura,
su
moral
y
sus
valores, sus ideales de justicia y
verdad. Así, una
de las caracteristicas mas importantes de la
nueva Evangelización consiste precisamente en
transformar la cultura desde dentro, enriqueciendola con valores Cristianos que surgen de la
Fe y asegurandose de que el mensaje Cristiano
Penetra las conciencias de las Personas y encuentra ahí su expresión.

Tomado de : la Palabra entre nosotros
Los Judíos entendían que Dios los había escogido,
por intermedio de su antepasado Abraham , para
ser parte del pueblo preferido y este conocimiento lo
atesoraban y guardaban celosamente. Con todo , la
Buena nueva de Jesucristo debía anunciarse a todas las naciones,mensaje que ya habia sido proclamado por los profetas desde antiguo. Sin Embargo , el pueblo escogido se negó aceptar toda la
predicación de Jesús , razón por la cual el Evangelio tendría que dirigirse tambien a los Pueblos no
Judíos. Cristo Hizo recordar a los Judíos que los
profetas habian sido enviados para todos los gentiles y eso quiere decir Para todo el mundo.

WONDER AND AWE
IN GOD'S PRESENCE
As we try to offer a refuge from the business
and confusion of the world, we ask all
to PLEASE TURN OFF CELL PHONES
BEFORE ENTERING CHURCH.
Likewise, we ask all to please refrain from TEXT
MESSAGING anyone, especially those who are already
here in St. Athanasius Church! Finally, GUM CHEWING
is not acceptable at Mass or in church, even when it
is removed just before Communion. The Church requires us to fast for one hour before receiving Communion (Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1387), and we
are to refrain from eating before we receive Communion.
Gum chewing shows a lack of respect for the celebration
of the Eucharist. WE DO NOT BRING COFFEE, OTHER
DRINKS, & FOOD into church.
