SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD

       The status of God’s beloved Son is not one he clings to. It is one he shares. All of us are called to be sons and daughters of God. In Jesus, we can all claim God’s favor. The second read-ing makes this clear. Here we read of the baptism of Cornelius and his household. Peter’s speech recalls the anointing of Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the great power that swept through Israel and onto the doorstep of the Gentile Cornelius. As for his household, so for us. There is an end to our work on earth, to our baptismal vocation and the honorable work we do. But there is no end to the saving life given to us through baptism. There is no end to the life of the children of God; there is no end to God’s compassion, which we know in Christ Jesus. There is no end to our status as chosen and beloved people of God. Because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we are for-ever among those on whom God’s favor rests. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

El Bautismo del Señor 12 de enero de 2014

Oyó una voz que decía, desde el cielo: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado,

en quien tengo mis complacencias”. — Mateo 3:17

El Bautismo del Señor. Domingo 12 de Enero Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios

La Iglesia nos propone después de celebrar el nacimiento de Jesús y la importancia de su familia, el bautismo de Jesús. Es como si intentáramos seguir el orden vital de cualquier familia cristiana de nuestro tiempo. Pero entre el bautismo del Señor y el nuestro hay algunas diferencias.

A nosotros nos "llevan" a bautizar. Jesús va por sí mismo a recibir su propio bautismo. Claro que somos cristianos una vez bautizados. Nuestros padres y padrinos cumplen el deber de enseñarnos el camino para ir por nosotros mismos hasta el Señor. Pero muchas veces el bautismo se convierte en un mero trámite social, llevados por la superstición más que por la fe. Algunos bautizan para que el niño no reciba ningún mal. El bautismo es ese maravilloso acto de amor de un Dios que nos ama. Me bautizo para recibir todo el amor de Dios que está a disposición de quienes son capaces de aceptarlo en su vida.

Es bueno recordar hoy nuestra propia historia de fe. Recuerda lo que te comentaron tus padres sobre tu bautismo. Mira las fotos y el video de la celebración. Eras pequeño, el agua te hizo llorar. Mira después tu proceso en la infancia. Recuerda tus inicios y tus primeras oraciones. Recuerda aquellos modelos cristianos que aparecieron en tu vida. Experimenta aquellos profundos momentos de paz interior que sentía tu alma adolescente. Siente como tu fe fue aclimatándose a tus años y hoy está o presente y viva o escondida en las complicaciones de la vida. Y ahora que has tomado el pulso de tu fe puedes preguntarte qué ha aportado el bautismo en tu vida. ¿Realmente fue un encuentro y una invitación a encontrarte con el Señor?

Recibir el bautismo es la invitación a tener a Dios siempre presente en nuestra vida. No se refiere a que en determinados momentos esté el Señor presente. La invitación sacramental del bautismo es a descubrir y caminar siempre con el Señor por los senderos de la vida. Muchas personas se acercaron por los caminos a Jesús. Después de obtener lo que necesitaban se apartaron y siguieron en lo suyo. Cosa parecida sucede hoy con las personas que se acercan a la Iglesia a pedir un sacramento sin mayores responsabilidades. La vida cristiana es otra cosa. Ser cristiano es hacer el camino de nuestra vida con Jesús. Él es el Camino. P. Jairo

Significado del bautismo cristiano El bautismo cristiano es el acto simbólico mediante el cual una persona que ha recibido al Señor Jesucristo demuestra públicamente que es un discípulo de Él. El bautismo, por lo tanto, es un símbolo exterior de una transformación interior. Consiste en ser sumergido en agua y ser sacado de allí, confesando que se ha muerto y resucitado con Cristo.

La palabra “bautizar” proviene del término griego “BAPTIZO”, que significa “sumergir” o “hundir”. Esta palabra griega también se empleaba en el oficio de teñir tela en tinta. La tela o lana se sumergía o “bautizaba” totalmente en la tinta para quedar teñida. Entendemos, por lo tanto, que el bautismo simboliza una identificación estrecha. Al bautizarse, el cristiano se ‘sumerge’ visiblemente en Cristo (Romanos 6:3) y en el Cuerpo de Cristo, que es la Iglesia (1 Corintios 12:13). Esto quiere decir que el que se bautiza se identifica de forma visible con el Señor y con su Iglesia.

El Obispo Robert Lynch será el celebrante principal en la Misa de Acción de Gracias en la cual se honrará a todos los matrimonios de la diócesis que celebran este año sus bodas de plata o de oro, así como las parejas que cumplen más de 50 años de matrimonio. Será el domingo, 23 de febrero, 2014 a las 3:00pm, en la Catedral de San Judas en St. Petersburg, 5875 5th Ave. N.―Por favor de llamar a la oficina parroquial y den sus nombres, dirección, y fecha de aniversario antes del 3 de febrero, 2014.

Invitación a celebrar la fiesta de Nuestra Sra. De la Altagracia

La Parroquia Encarnación invita la comunidad a la Misa en honor a Nuestra Sra. De la Altagracia, Patrona del pueblo

Dominicano. La Misa será oficiada el sábado, febrero 1, 2013 a las 7:00pm por su Excelencia Nicanor Peña Rodríguez, Obispo de la Diócesis Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, Higuey, Republica Dominicana. Después de la misa, compartiremos refrescos y amistad en el Salón St. Michael.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Al escribir Tradiciones de nuestra fe me he encontrado con muchas fiestas patronales en España, Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos de América. Muchas de ellas mantienen su carácter religioso mientras que otras son simplemente una excusa para festejar, mejorar la economía local o hacer política, pero no por estas razones deben ser descartadas. Tomemos, por ejemplo, la fiesta de san Sebastián de las Ovejas en la frontera entre Argentina y Chile. Esta fiesta es más vieja que ambas naciones y su peregrinación pisa los dos suelos. A lo largo del tiempo, esta fiesta ha sufrido por razones políticas entre ambas naciones, pero a partir de 1980 las autoridades eclesiásticas, civiles y gubernamentales han intentado revitalizar esta fiesta por varios motivos. Las autoridades eclesiásticas la usan para renovar el cristianismo añadiendo las enseñanzas y prácticas del Concilio Vaticano II a las tradiciones antiguas. Las autoridades civiles la utilizan para incrementar el comercio y el turismo en la región. Los gobiernos de Chile y Argentina la ven como un enlace benéfico entre ambas naciones. Las fiestas patronales buscan integrar todos los aspectos del ser humano, su política, economía, cultura, celebración y religión. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Todos los bautizados han sido “ungidos con el poder del Espíritu Santo”. ¿Para qué te está habilitando el Espíritu? ¿Deberías escribir una carta a tu senador acerca de algún asunto de justicia, o prestar tus servicios voluntarios en una cárcel o en una escuela para ciegos?
