 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR 
18 OCTOBER 2015
With the approach and arrival of 18 October 2015 (traditionally the Feast of Saint
Luke, Evangelist), come thoughts of the Most Reverend Paul H. Walsh who passed
away on 18 October 2014. Bishop Walsh was (as you may know) the Pastor of Saint
Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Smithtown, New York (1990 – 2003) where I
spent my first five years (1998 – 2003) as a Priest. The gratitude with which I recall
those years, filled as they were with so many Priestly-firsts (Baptism, Funeral,
Wedding, etc.), is due in no small part to this man who during those years was
known to many as Father Paul.
Father Paul and I both left Saint Patrick’s on 25 June 2003. He left as a recently
consecrated Bishop (29 May 2003) to serve as Vicar of the Western Vicariate of the
Diocese of Rockville Centre and Pastor of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in
Roosevelt, and yours truly left to serve as an Associate Pastor at Saint Ignatius Loyola
Parish in Hicksville. (It was there by the way, that I met Father Jose Quilcate Paz
whom this past week was told that he needs to obtain permission from his Diocesan
Bishop in Peru (the country of his birth and Ordination) to continue labouring as a
Priest outside of his Diocese. Father Jose will be available in Sumner Hall after the
1:00 P.M. Mass to receive anyone who wishes to say goodbye and
perhaps: “Thank you Father Jose for providing the Good
Shepherd’s care to so many members of His flock both within and
outside our home in Freeport. Please remember “Our Holy
Redeemer where coming home is what it’s all about” and come home when you can. You will
be missed.”) During those years (2003 – 2008), Bishop Walsh and I spoke often about our
time together in the past and the possibility of time together in the future. Well, by God’s
grace, that future arrived in 2010 when Bishop Murphy gave him permission to reside at Our
Holy Redeemer where two years earlier I was sent to become the Pastor.
The four years that Bishop Walsh called 37 South Ocean “home” were distinguished by the same Priestly service
that could be found in all of the forty-four years that preceded them; whether as a Dominican Father at
Providence College in Rhode Island, the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., the Roman Catholic
Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer in Manhattan, or as a Priest and Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Priestly
service that distinguished not simply by its longevity (48 years), but mainly by the humility that was at its
foundation (not to mention a great sense of humour as well).
Bishop Walsh’s lifetime of distinguished service to our loving Father, in the footsteps of Our
Holy Redeemer, inspired many people to pursue and discover Happiness in Religious Life
and Priesthood. It is “Providential” therefore that on the anniversary of his death, the
Diocese of Rockville Centre that he loved so much, will be honouring Rev. Monsignor
Donald Beckmann with the Immaculate Conception Medal in recognition of his lifetime of
distinguished Priestly service. It is even more “Providential” that at the same time our own
recently Ordained Priest, Rev. Father Alessandro da Luz, along with Rev. Father James
Hansen and their three classmates, will be acknowledged for successfully completing the
requirements for Priestly formation.
Please pray for our Seminarians and Priests; pray for an increase in Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious
Life; and together let us pray for Bishop Walsh: “It was You, O God, Who made Your servant Paul a successor to
the Apostles by raising him to the Episcopal Order. May he also be associated with them forever. Through Christ
Our Lord. Amen.”
NOW A WORD FROM OUR POPE
(ABOUT THE FAMILY)
POPE FRANCIS
GENERAL AUDIENCE
Saint Peter’s Square
Wednesday, 17 June 2015
The Family - 19. Death
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good Morning!
In the course of our catecheses on the family, today we take direct inspiration from the episode
narrated by Luke the Evangelist, which we have just heard (cf. Lk 7:11-15). It is a very moving scene, which
shows us Christ’s compassion for those who suffer — in this case a widow who has lost her only child — and
it also shows us Jesus’ power over death.
Death is an experience which touches all families, without exception. It is part of life; yet, where familial love
is concerned, death never seems natural. For parents, surviving their own children is particularly
heartbreaking; it contradicts the fundamental nature of the very relationships that give meaning to the
family. The loss of a son or daughter is like time stopping altogether: it opens a chasm that swallows both
past and future. Death, which takes away a little child or young person, is a blow to the promises, to the gifts
and the sacrifices of love joyfully brought to the life we gave birth to. Frequently parents come to Mass at
Santa Marta with the photo of a son, a daughter, a baby, a boy, a girl, and they say to me: “He’s gone, she’s
gone”. And their faces are filled with grief. Death touches us and when it is a child’s, it touches us
profoundly. The whole family is left paralyzed, speechless. And the child left alone by the loss of one or both
parents suffers in a similar way. She asks: “Where is my daddy? Where is my mama? — Well, she is in
heaven” — “Why can’t I see her?” This question covers the agony in the heart of a child left alone. The
emptiness of abandonment that opens up in him is made all the more agonizing by the fact that he doesn’t
have the life-experience to even “give a name” to what has happened. “When is daddy coming back?”
When is mama coming?” What do you say when a child suffers? This is what death in the family is like.
In these cases, death is like a black hole that opens up in the life of the family and for which we have no
explanation. And at times we even go so far as to lay the blame on God. How many people — I understand
them — get angry with God, blaspheme: “Why did you take my son, my daughter? There is no God, God
does not exist! Why did he do this?” We hear this so often. But this anger is basically what comes from the
heart in great pain; the loss of a son or of a daughter, of a father or of a mother, is a great sorrow. This
happens over and over in families. In these cases, I said, death is like a hole. But physical death has
“accomplices” even worse than itself, which are called hate, envy, pride, greed; in short, the sin of the world
which works for death and makes it even more painful and unjust. Family bonds seem to be the predestined
and helpless victims of these helping powers of death, trailing the history of mankind. Let us think of the
absurd “normality” with which, at certain moments and in certain places, events adding to the horror of
death are provoked by the hatred and indifference of other human beings. May the Lord keep us free from
being accustomed to this!
In the People of God, by the grace of His compassion granted in Jesus, many families prove by their deeds
that death does not have the last word: this is a true act of faith. Every time a family in mourning — even
terrible mourning — finds the strength to guard the faith and love that unite us to those we love, it has
already prevented death from taking everything. The darkness of death should be confronted with a more
intense work of love. “My God, lighten my darkness!”, is the invocation of evening prayer. In the light of the
Resurrection of the Lord, Who abandons none of those whom the Father entrusted to Him, we can take the
“sting” out of death, as the Apostle Paul says (1 Cor 15:55); we can prevent it from poisoning life, from
rendering vain our love, from pushing us into the darkest chasm.
In this faith, we can console one another, knowing that the Lord has conquered death once and for all. Our
loved ones are not lost in the darkness of nothing: hope assures us that they are in the good and strong
hands of God. Love is stronger than death. Thus, the way is to let love grow, make it stronger, and love will
guard us until the day that every tear shall be wiped away, when “death shall be no more, neither shall there
be mourning nor crying nor pain any more” (Rev 21:4). If we allow ourselves to be sustained by this faith,
the experience of grief can generate even stronger family bonds, a new openness to the pain of other
families, a new brotherhood with families that are born and reborn in hope. To be born and reborn in hope,
this gives us faith. But I would like to stress the last phrase of the Gospel which he heard today (cf. Lk 7:1115). After Jesus brought the young man, the only son of a widow, back to life, the Gospel says: “Jesus gave
him back to his mother”. And this is our hope! All our loved ones who are gone, the Lord will give them back
to us and we will be together with them. This hope does not disappoint! Let us remember well this action of
Jesus: “And Jesus gave him back to his mother”, thus the Lord will do with all our loved ones in the family!
This faith protects us from the nihilist vision of death, as well as from the false consolations of the world, so
that the Christian truth “does not risk mixing itself with myths of various types”, surrendering to
superstitions beliefs (Benedict XVI, Angelus, 2 November 2008). Today it is necessary that Pastors and all
Christians express in a more concrete way the meaning of the faith in regards to the family experience of
grief. We should not deny them the right to weep — we must weep in mourning — “Jesus wept” and was
“deeply troubled” by the grave loss of a family that He loved (cf. Jn 11:33-37). We can draw from the simple
and strong testimony of the many families who have been able to grasp, in the most arduous transition of
death, the safe passage of the Lord, Crucified and Risen, with His irrevocable promise of the resurrection of
the dead. God’s work of love is stronger than the work of death. It is of that love, it is precisely of that love,
that we must make ourselves hard-working “accomplices”, with our faith! And let us remember Jesus’ deed:
“And Jesus gave him back to his mother”, so He will do with all our loved ones and with us when we meet
again, when death will be definitively conquered in us. It was conquered by Jesus’ Cross. Jesus will give us
all back to the family!

AND THE RAINS CAME …
PRAYERS REQUESTED
Our good friend Bishop Robert E Guglielmone of
Charleston, South Carolina has asked for prayers
in the aftermath of the extreme rain and heavy
flooding that washed away lives, homes, and property in
“Sandy-like” proportions.
“We simply ask for prayers, especially for the families of those who lost
their lives in this horrific storm, “Bishop Guglielmone told The Catholic
Miscellany, the newspaper of the Charleston Diocese. “Many people lost
homes, cars, and other possessions, but in time and with assistance,
those can be replaced. The strong spirit of our people in South Carolina
and their lively faith will get us through this difficult time and will sustain us.”
Please keep the residents of South Carolina in your prayers.
Because of Bishop Guglielmone’s ties to the Diocese of Rockville
Centre, and in particular the Parish of Our Holy Redeemer, some of
you have asked if there’s anything “more” as in “25 Cents and
More” we can do to assist him in his efforts to provide for the
needs of the victims. I’ve presented that inquiry to Bishop Bob and
he writes: “Many thanks Doug! I appreciate your prayers for us.
Thank you for your offering of financial assistance – those funds
should be directed to: The Diocese of Charleston with a
designation of ‘Disaster Relief’.
Your financial assistance can be deposited in our Sunday Offertory Basket or delivered to the
Rectory with that same designation: “The Diocese of Charleston – Disaster Relief” or you may
send it directly to Bishop Bob at the following address:

NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
(516) 379-8660
“Quiet on the set!” We did not hear that phrase but we certainly received that message on Tuesday.
From before the start of classes until several hours after dismissal close to four dozen people were hard
at work filming a 60 second video for Lenovo computers. Access to parts of the school building was
blocked and we were asked to keep our distance from all the workers.
Included among the participants in the filming were Eric Decker, a wide receiver for the NY Jets, and Odell Beckham, Jr., a
wide receiver for the NY Giants. Our students were disappointed they did not have the opportunity to meet these stellar
athletes but they were excited to realize they were in the building.
When they came on site to scout the location three staff members from Mustache Agency, the company that produced the
video, met with our students for almost an hour. Our young men learned about some new career possibilities and were
amazed to realize the number of people and the amount of time associated with creating a professionally crafted video that
is to be displayed on a screen for only a minute.
The filming occurred in parts of the building we do not regularly use, and except for our exclusion from the gym for the day
we were not inconvenienced. All in all it was a unique day in our history and great learning experience.

More than likely, if you use Parish Envelopes to make your offering, you will place “Sunday-missed” envelopes in the
Offertory basket the next time you attend Mass. If you don’t use envelopes, it is more than likely that your Sundaymissed offering will remain missing. It is not that you intentionally choose to give Our Holy Redeemer less, it’s just

Scripture Reflection
“Grant that in Your glory we may sit one at Your right and the other at Your left.” We can
sympathize with this request from John and James. It is very natural. It is very human. Yet, Jesus’
response helps us to understand that things are diametrically different in the Kingdom of God.
“Can you drink the cup that I drink or be Baptized with the Baptism with which I am Baptized?”
(See Mark 10:35-45) In the Kingdom of God the one who wants to be first must be last and serve
others. Christianity is a call to sacrifice. Jesus’ cup is a sacrificial cup. The more we penetrate in
the mystery of Christ the more we realize that to be a Christian is to be willing to make sacrifices.
We cannot do this on our own. We need help from above. Glory will come, but first comes
sacrifice. But Jesus is not the kind of teacher that tells you what to do and does something else
himself. He goes on to say: “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give
His life as a ransom for many.” Where the Master trod we can follow. In fact, we must follow,
because to be a disciple means to be a follower. The good news is that Jesus accompanies us all the way. We are also
accompanied by His Mother, Holy Mary. She is the example of the perfect disciple, the “handmaid” of the Lord.

 World Mission Day 
(A DAY TO PAUSE AND REFLECT)
“The World Mission Day is not an isolated moment in the course of the year but rather a valuable opportunity to
pause and reflect on whether and how we respond to our missionary vocation; an essential response for the
Church’s life.” Beyond the “essential response” demanded by our missionary vocation, of which Pope Benedict XVI
developed in his message for the World Mission Sunday 2011, lies the ora et labora that has sent labourers into the
harvest for two thousand years.
More often than not, but perhaps not often enough, we emphasize the need for Priest-labourers (is God calling
you? Call Father Arcoleo at (516) 378 – 0665 and find out). The need for lay-labourers however, is urgent as well.
While the Priest brings Our Holy Redeemer to us at Mass, who will bring Him from Mass …

to the homebound and the shut-ins who cannot come home to receive Him;
into Israel where they are still waiting for Him;
into the United States Supreme Court to judge without reference to a person’s sex, colour, or religion;
into the United States Congress to make laws that protect every human person: born and unborn;
into the United States Oval Office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States;
into the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to welcome the stranger;
into the Village of Freeport Fire Department and Police Department to serve with honour and dignity;
into Dodd Middle School and Freeport High School to teach boys and girls how to respect one another;
into South Nassau Communities Hospital to visit the sick;
into Nassau County Correctional Facility to visit the imprisoned;
into the various Sports arenas to exercise and promote fair play;
into Hollywood to produce and act in films that promote Religious values and moral behaviour?
If after you “pause and reflect” and you realize that you have:
 failed to proclaim the Good News to the People of Our Holy Redeemer in the pews then call Father
Arcoleo and become a Priest;
 failed to proclaim the Good News to the children of Our Holy Redeemer in the classroom then call
(516) 546 – 1057 and become a Catechist;
 failed to proclaim the Good News to people when they come home to Our Holy Redeemer for Mass,
then call (516) 378 – 0665 and become an Usher;
 failed to proclaim the Good News to the poor of Our Holy Redeemer then call (516) 623 – 3247 and
volunteer at Our Holy Redeemer Thrift Shop in memory of Janene Suchan.
The Church exists in order to evangelize (cf. Paul VI, Apostolic Exhortation Evangeli Nuntiandi, n. 14). If you are the

 UN MENSAJE DEL PASTOR 
18 OCTUBRE 2015
Con el acercamiento y la llegada del 18 de octubre del 2015 (tradicionalmente la
Fiesta de San Lucas, el Evangelista), vienen pensamientos del reverendísimo Paul
H. Walsh quien pasó a la otra vida el 18 de octubre del 2015. El Obispo Walsh fue
(como Ud. tal vez sabe) el Pastor de la Iglesia Católica Romana de San Patricio en
Smithtown, Nueva York (1990-2003) donde yo pasé mis primeros cinco años
(1998-2003) como sacerdote. El agradecimiento con cual yo recuerdo esos años,
llenos de tantos primeros eventos de sacerdocio (Bautizo, Funeral, Boda, etc.) se
deben en mucho a este hombre quien durante esos años era conocido por muchos
como el Padre Paul.
El Padre Paul y yo ambos salimos de San Patricio el 25 de junio del 2003. Él salió
como un recientemente consagrado Obispo (29 de mayo 2003) para servir como
Vicario del Vicariato Occidental de la Diócesis de Rockville Center y Pastor de la
Parroquia de la Reina del Santísimo Rosario en Roosevelt, y yo salí para servir como
Pastor Asociado en la Parroquia San Ignacio Loyola en Hicksville. (Fue allá a
propósito que conocí al Padre José Quilcate Paz, a quien esta semana le dijeron que
necesita obtener permiso del Obispo de su Diócesis en Perú (el país de su
nacimiento y Ordinación) para continuar laborando como sacerdote fuera de su
Diócesis. El Padre José estará disponible en Sumner Hall
después de la Misa de la 1:00 para recibir a cualquiera persona
que desee despedirse y tal vez decirle “Gracias Padre José por
proveer el cuidado del Buen Pastor a tantos miembros de su
rebaño tanto dentro como fuera de nuestra casa en Freeport.
Por favor recuerde “Nuestro Santo Redentor donde el venir a casa es lo importante y venga
a nuestra casa cuando pueda. Nos hará falta.”) Durante esos años (2003-2008), el Obispo
Walsh y yo hablábamos a menudo acerca de nuestro tiempo juntos en el pasado y la
posibilidad de tiempo juntos en el futuro. Bueno, por la misericordia de Dios, ese futuro
llegó en el 2010 cuando el Obispo Murphy le dio permiso para residir en Nuestro Santo
Redentor adonde dos años anteriores me mandaron a ser el Pastor.
Los cuatro años que el Obispo Walsh llamó 37 South Ocean su “casa” fueron distinguidos por el mismo servicio
Sacerdotal que se pudieron encontrar en todos los cuarenta y cuatro años que los precedieron; tanto como
Padre Dominicano en la Universidad Providence en Rhode Island, la Casa de Estudios Dominicana en
Washington, D.C., la Iglesia Católica Romana de San Vicente Ferrer en Manhattan, o como Sacerdote y Obispo de
la Diócesis de Rockville Center. Servicio Sacerdotal que distinguió no simplemente por su longevidad (48 años),
pero mayormente por su humildad y su buen sentido del humor.
Toda una vida distinguida se servicio a nuestro amoroso Padre, en los pasos de Nuestro Santo
Redentor, el Obispo Walsh ha inspirado a muchos a seguir y descubrir la Felicidad en la Vida
Religiosa y el Sacerdocio. Es “Providencial” entonces que en el aniversario de su muerte, la
Diócesis de Rockville Center que él tanto amó, estará honrando al Reverendo Monseñor
Donald Beckmann con la medalla de la Inmaculada Concepción en reconocimiento de toda
una vida distinguida de servicio sacerdotal. Es aun más “Providencial” que a la misma vez
nuestros recientemente Ordenados Sacerdotes, el Reverendo Padre Alessandro da Luz, con el
Reverendo Padre James Hansen y sus tres compañeros, serán reconocidos por completar
satisfactoriamente los requisitos para la formación Sacerdotal.
Por favor rece por nuestros Seminaristas y Padres; rece por un aumento en Vocaciones al Sacerdocio y la Vida
Religiosa; y juntos recemos por el Obispo Walsh: “Fuiste Tú, O Dios, Quien hizo a Tu Servidor Paul un sucesor
Apóstol subiéndolo a la Orden Episcopal. Que también él quede asociado con ellos para siempre. Por Cristo
Nuestro Señor. Amen.
AHORA UN MENSAJE DEL PAPA
(SOBRE LA FAMILIA)
PAPA FRANCISCO
AUDIENCIA GENERAL
Plaza San Pablo
Miércoles, 10 de Junio de 2015
La Familia - 18. Familia y Enfermedad
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, ¡buenos días!
Continuamos con las catequesis sobre la familia, y en esta catequesis quisiera tratar un aspecto muy común
en la vida de nuestras familias: la enfermedad. Es una experiencia de nuestra fragilidad, que vivimos
generalmente en familia, desde niños, y luego sobre todo como ancianos, cuando llegan los achaques. En el
ámbito de los vínculos familiares, la enfermedad de las personas que queremos se sufre con un «plus» de
sufrimiento y de angustia. Es el amor el que nos hace sentir ese «plus». Para un padre y una madre, muchas
veces es más difícil soportar el mal de un hijo, de una hija, que el propio. La familia, podemos decir, ha sido
siempre el «hospital» más cercano. Aún hoy, en muchas partes del mundo, el hospital es un privilegio para
pocos, y a menudo está distante. Son la mamá, el papá, los hermanos, las hermanas, las abuelas quienes
garantizan las atenciones y ayudan a sanar.
En los Evangelios, muchas páginas relatan los encuentros de Jesús con los enfermos y su compromiso por
curarlos. Él se presenta públicamente como alguien que lucha contra la enfermedad y que vino para sanar al
hombre de todo mal: el mal del espíritu y el mal del cuerpo. Es de verdad conmovedora la escena evangélica
a la que acaba de hacer referencia el Evangelio de san Marcos. Dice así: «Al anochecer, cuando se puso el sol,
le llevaron todos los enfermos y endemoniados» (1, 32). Si pienso en las grandes ciudades contemporáneas,
me pregunto dónde están las puertas ante las cuales llevar a los enfermos para que sean curados. Jesús
nunca se negó a curarlos. Nunca siguió de largo, nunca giró la cara hacia otro lado. Y cuando un padre o una
madre, o incluso sencillamente personas amigas le llevaban un enfermo para que lo tocase y lo curase, no se
entretenía con otras cosas; la curación estaba antes que la ley, incluso una tan sagrada como el descanso del
sábado (cf. Mc 3, 1-6). Los doctores de la ley regañaban a Jesús porque curaba el día sábado, hacía el bien en
sábado. Pero el amor de Jesús era dar la salud, hacer el bien: y esto va siempre en primer lugar.
Jesús manda a los discípulos a realizar su misma obra y les da el poder de curar, o sea de acercarse a los
enfermos y hacerse cargo de ellos completamente (cf. Mt 10, 1). Debemos tener bien presente en la mente
lo que dijo a los discípulos en el episodio del ciego de nacimiento (Jn 9, 1-5). Los discípulos —con el ciego allí
delante de ellos— discutían acerca de quién había pecado, porque había nacido ciego, si él o sus padres, para
provocar su ceguera. El Señor dijo claramente: ni él ni sus padres; sucedió así para que se manifestase en él
las obras de Dios. Y lo curó. He aquí la gloria de Dios. He aquí la tarea de la Iglesia. Ayudar a los enfermos, no
quedarse en habladurías, ayudar siempre, consolar, aliviar, estar cerca de los enfermos; esta es la tarea.
La Iglesia invita a la oración continua por los propios seres queridos afectados por el mal. La oración por los
enfermos no debe faltar nunca. Es más, debemos rezar aún más, tanto personalmente como en comunidad.
Pensemos en el episodio evangélico de la mujer cananea (cf. Mt 15, 21-28). Es una mujer pagana, no es del
pueblo de Israel, sino una pagana que suplica a Jesús que cure a su hija. Jesús, para poner a prueba su fe,
primero responde duramente: «No puedo, primero debo pensar en las ovejas de Israel». La mujer no
retrocede —una mamá, cuando pide ayuda para su criatura, no se rinde jamás; todos sabemos que las
mamás luchan por los hijos— y responde: «También a los perritos, cuando los amos están saciados, se les da
algo», como si dijese: «Al menos trátame como a una perrita». Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Mujer, qué grande es
tu fe: que se cumpla lo que deseas» (v. 28).
Ante la enfermedad, incluso en la familia surgen dificultades, a causa de la debilidad humana. Pero, en
general, el tiempo de la enfermedad hace crecer la fuerza de los vínculos familiares. Y pienso cuán
importante es educar a los hijos desde pequeños en la solidaridad en el momento de la enfermedad. Una
educación que deja de lado la sensibilidad por la enfermedad humana, aridece el corazón. Y hace que los
jóvenes estén «anestesiados» respecto al sufrimiento de los demás, incapaces de confrontarse con el
sufrimiento y vivir la experiencia del límite. Cuántas veces vemos llegar al trabajo a un hombre, una mujer,
con cara de cansancio, con una actitud cansada y al preguntarle: «¿Qué sucede?», responde: «He dormido
sólo dos horas porque en casa hacemos turnos para estar cerca del niño, de la niña, del enfermo, del abuelo,
de la abuela». Y la jornada continúa con el trabajo. Estas cosas son heroicas, son la heroicidad de las familias.
Esas heroicidades ocultas que se hacen con ternura y con valentía cuando en casa hay alguien enfermo.
La debilidad y el sufrimiento de nuestros afectos más queridos y más sagrados, pueden ser, para nuestros
hijos y nuestros nietos, una escuela de vida —es importante educar a los hijos, los nietos en la comprensión
de esta cercanía en la enfermedad en la familia— y llegan a serlo cuando los momentos de la enfermedad
van acompañados por la oración y la cercanía afectuosa y atenta de los familiares. La comunidad cristiana
sabe bien que a la familia, en la prueba de la enfermedad, no se la puede dejar sola. Y debemos decir gracias
al Señor por las hermosas experiencias de fraternidad eclesial que ayudan a las familias a atravesar el difícil
momento del dolor y del sufrimiento. Esta cercanía cristiana, de familia a familia, es un verdadero tesoro
para una parroquia; un tesoro de sabiduría, que ayuda a las familias en los momentos difíciles y hace
comprender el reino de Dios mejor que muchos discursos. Son caricias de Dios.

ORACIÓN ColECTA
La Santa MarÍa
Señor y Dios nuestro, que has querido que tu Iglesia
sea sacramento de salvación
para todos los hombres
a fin de que la obra redentora de tu Hijo
perdure hasta el fin de los tiempos:
haz que tus fieles caigan en la cuenta de que están
llamados a trabajar por la salvación de los demás,
para que todos los pueblos de la tierra formen
una sola familia y surja
una humanidad nueva en Cristo,
nuestro Señnor, que vive y reina
contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo,
un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.
Amen.

CUARTA PARTE: LA ORACIÓN CRISTIANA
2604 La segunda oración nos la transmite san Juan (cf Jn 11, 41-42), antes de la resurrección de Lázaro. La acción de gracias precede al
acontecimiento: “Padre, yo te doy gracias por haberme escuchado”, lo que implica que el Padre escucha siempre su súplica; y Jesús
añade a continuación: “Yo sabía bien que tú siempre me escuchas”, lo que implica que Jesús, por su parte, pide de una manera
constante. Así, apoyada en la acción de gracias, la oración de Jesús nos revela cómo pedir: antes de que lo pedido sea otorgado, Jesús
se adhiere a Aquél que da y que se da en sus dones. El Dador es más precioso que el don otorgado, es el “tesoro”, y en Él está el
corazón de su Hijo; el don se otorga como “por añadidura” (cf Mt 6, 21. 33).

Reflexión Semanal
Concede que nos sentemos uno a tu derecha y otro a tu izquierda.” Podemos simpatizar con esta
petición de Juan y Santiago. Es muy natural. Es muy humana. Sin embargo, la respuesta de Jesús
nos ayuda a entender que las cosas son diametralmente opuestas en el Reino de Dios. “¿Podrán
pasar la prueba que yo voy a pasar y recibir el Bautismo con que seré Bautizado.” (Vea Marcos
10:35-45) En el Reino de Dios el que desee ser primero, debe estar dispuesto a ser último y servir
a los demás. El cristianismo es un llamado al sacrificio. Mientras más penetramos en el misterio
de Cristo más apreciamos que el ser cristiano significa estar dispuesto a hacer sacrificios. No
podemos hacer esto por nuestra propia cuenta. Necesitamos ayuda de arriba. La Gloria viene,
pero primero viene el sacrificio. Jesús no es maestro de los que dicen y no hacen. El pasa a
decirnos: “El Hijo del hombre . . . no ha venido a que lo sirvan, sino a servir y a dar su vida por la
redención de todos.” Donde el Maestro va nosotros podemos seguirlo. De hecho, tenemos que
seguirlo, porque ser discípulo significa ser seguidor. Las buenas nuevas es que Jesús nos acompaña a lo largo del
camino. También nos acompaña su santísima Madre, la Virgen María, la “servidora” del Señor.

TO SERVE
AND NOT
TO BE SERVED
Jesus summoned the Twelve
and said to them, “You
know that those who are
recognized as rulers over the
Gentiles lord it over them,
and their great ones make
their authority over them
felt. But it shall not be so
among you. Rather, whoever
wishes to be great among
you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first
among you will be the slave
of all. For the Son of Man
did not come to be served
but to serve and to give His
life as a ransom for many.”
Saint Mark X: 42-45
