PAGE 3 Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

First Reading — If you share your food with the hungry, provide housing for the homeless, then light shall break forth upon you (Isaiah 58:7-10). Psalm — The just man is a light in the darkness to the upright (Psalm 112). Second Reading — My message to you, says Paul, was not clever words of wisdom but the proclamation of Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-5). Gospel — You are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. In your good deeds your light shines before others, leading them to glorify God (Matthew 5:13-16).

Question for Children: What can you do to bring the light of Jesus into the lives of your family, friends, and people you meet? Question for Adults: What specific efforts do you take to maintain your light? Do you let your light dim? Why?

Primera lectura — Yo dejaré en medio de ti, pueblo mío, un puñado de gente pobre y humilde; entonces serán como el rebaño que pasta y que descansa, y no habrá quién los perturbe (Sofonías 2:3; 3:12-13). Salmo — ¡Dichosos los pobres de espíritu, porque de ellos es el Reino de los cielos! (Salmo 146) Segunda lectura — Es por la gracia de Dios que ustedes moran en Jesucristo. “El que se gloría, que se gloríe en el Señor” (1 Corintios 1:26-31). Evangelio — Dichosos los pobres de espíritu; alégrense y salten de contento, porque su premio será grande en los cie-los (Mateo 5:1-12a). Pregunta para los niños: ¿Qué pueden hacer para llevar la luz de Jesús a la vida de sus familiares, amigos y personas que conocen? Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Qué esfuerzos específi-cos han tomado para mantener su luz? ¿Ustedes dejan que su luz se apague? ¿Por qué?

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

As children we sang the lively song This Little Light of Mine. The words, of course, are based on today’s Gospel, in which we are called as disciples to be salt and light for the world. Children are unin-hibited about sharing their faith. It’s only when we grow older that we prefer to hide our light under a bushel basket because our culture tends not to em-phasize discipleship. The message in this week’s readings is clear: in order to give glory to God through our discipleship, we must show the light of Christ in our words and deeds. Not an easy thing for inhibited adults. Often we may think of salt and light in terms of what we do for others, but it can be just as important not to do something, such as getting angry with the stranger on the road, or telling an of-fensive joke.

Treasures from our Tradition Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe

When the custom of the stational liturgies was revived in the city of Rome in the early days of the twentieth century, the papal liturgy for Good Friday was appro-priately housed in the stational church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, the Holy Cross of Jerusalem. The church is off the tourist track today, but true pilgrims would never miss it. It stands on the grounds of the Sessorian Palace, the home of the Empress St. Helena, mother of Constantine. She dedicated her life to finding the true cross of Christ in Jerusalem, and desired to found a church in Rome for people who could not make the long and dangerous trip to the Holy Land. Eventually, it came to house relics of the cross. When the pope fled the city of Rome for Avignon, the reli-gious institutions of Rome collapsed and the church was abandoned. Centuries later it was given into the care of monks. Amazingly, it concealed a forgotten treasure. In 1492 repairmen took down a brick wall and discovered a niche with the inscription “Title of the Cross,” and within, an ancient wooden tablet on which was carved the inscription dictated by Pilate for the cross of Christ in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. No one is certain that this is authentic, although its discovery was enough to give the church great prestige among pil-grims. The veneration of the relic of the cross located here was a factor in shaping our restored Holy Week.

La primera santa americana fue Rosa de Lima, peruana de nacimiento. Murió en 1617 y fue canonizada en 1671, diez años después de la primera fundación inglesa en lo que hoy son Estados Unidos de América. Esta santa americana es acompañada por otros santos como san Felipe de Jesús (mexicano) canonizado en 1862 y Madre Francisca Cabrini (italoestadounidense y la primera san-ta de EE. UU.) canonizada en 1946. Oficialmente hay 60 santos y 77 beatos que nacie-ron o trabajaron en América. La mayoría de estos son 50 mexicanos, 33 brasileños, 12 canadienses, nueve estadounidenses, ocho colombianos, siete peruanos, tres argentinos y tres chilenos. Guatemala, Cuba, Re-pública Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela tienen un santo(a) cada uno. Estados Unidos y Canadá comparten siete mártires. La mayoría de los santos o santas del continente americano fueron beatificados o canoniza-dos durante los últimos 100 años. Sólo ocho de ellos fueron canonizados durante los últimos ocho años. No todos estos santos nacieron en América, pero sí dedicaron su vida a evangelizarla. Estos 137 santos de la Iglesia universal son un testimonio de la obra del Espíritu Santo en el continente americano.

World Day of Marriage

The Knights of Columbus cares about your mar-riage and your family. We believe the foundation of the family is the marriage bond between the mother, father and God. If you have a strong marriage bond, it will in turn produce a strong family. A strong fam-ily in turn, is more capable of enduring the chal-lenges they will face throughout their lives. If the marriage bond is not strong, these challenges can cause the marriage to end in divorce and split the family apart. So to protect your family, you must strengthen your marriage bond with God. To help strengthen your family and your marriage bond with God, the Knights of Columbus encourages your fam-ily to dedicate time each day for family prayers. As you pray your family prayers, we ask that you in-clude the Our Marriage Prayer. We encourage hold-ing each other’s hands during the family prayers as a symbol of family unity. When it is time to say the Our Marriage Prayer, the husband should take his bride’s hands, place them together and wrap his own hands around them. They should then pray these words together.

Lord, help us to remember when we first met

and the strong love that grew between us.

To work that Love into practical things

so, that nothing can divide us.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and hearts always ready to ask for forgiveness

as well as to forgive.

Dear Lord, we put our marriage into Your hands.

Amen

Light shines through the darkness

for the upright. — Psalm 112:4

Reporting abuse is the right thing to do Child abuse can happen anywhere, even in the home, and for families placed in this horrible situation, re-porting abuse can be very difficult, but it is critical to do so in order to protect children. Adults must first act to stop the abuse by being alert to warning signs. If discovered, report abuse to the proper authorities. For more information on how to report abuse, re-quest a copy of the VIRTUS© article “When the Right Choice is Difficult” by emailing [email protected] or calling (213) 637-7227.

Reportar el abuso es lo correcto El abuso infantil puede ocurrir en cualquier lugar, incluso en el hogar, y para las familias ubicadas en esta situación horrible, reportar abuso puede ser muy difícil, pero es fundamental hacerlo para proteger a los niños.
