Premio del Consejo Doble Estrella

Este domingo, nuestros Caballeros reciben un premio significa�vo. Bajo

el liderazgo del Gran Caballero Oscar Rodriguez y el Diputado Gran

Caballero Michael Flournoy, nuestro Consejo de Caballeros de Colon de

la parroquia 9910 logró el estatus de Doble Estrella del Consejo por el

año fraternal 2016-2017. Kim Washburn, Tesorera Estatal del Consejo

del Estado de Washington de los Caballeros de Colón, estará presente

en las Misas de 9:30 y 11:15 a.m. para presentar este pres�gioso pre-

mio.

Ayunar y orar por nuestros hijos

Gracias a todos los que se unieron al ayuno de tres días para nuestros

hijos, una excelente manera de comenzar el Año Nuevo 2018. La Biblia

tes�fica el gran poder de la oración unida al ayuno. Los estudios de-

muestran que nuestros hijos enfrentan niveles más altos de depresión,

desconexión y pérdida de fe. Por favor intente separar un día a la sema-

na para hacer un Ayuno de Daniel para nuestros hijos.

Deseo de familia

Como mencioné en la homilía del domingo pasado, los estudios tam-

bién muestran que nuestros hijos sueñan con la familia, incluso con una

familia bastante tradicional. Por ejemplo, los inves�gadores pregunta-

ron a adultos jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años si están de acuerdo con

esta afirmación: "Lo mejor es que el hombre trabaje fuera del hogar y

la mujer cuide del hogar y la familia". 73% dijo que sí. Supongo que

estaban pensando especialmente cuando los niños están pequeños.

Otro resultado indicó el deseo que muchos �enen para la familia tradi-

cional. Le preguntaron a los adultos jóvenes si "el esposo debe tomar

todas las decisiones importantes en la familia". Un sorprendente 39%

estuvo de acuerdo. Eso es un aumento del diez por ciento en compara-

ción con hace 15 años. Como dije en la homilía, supongo que dan por

hecho que la consulta tendrá lugar antes de que se tomen las decisio-

nes. La está�ca y las tablas se pueden encontrar en iGen por Dr. Jean

Twenge.

Enfócate en Jesús

Mientras celebramos la Fiesta de los Reyes Magos queremos ser como

ellos, mantener nuestros ojos en Jesús. Inves�gando la configuración

de estrellas, planetas y cometas, se dirigieron a Belén, donde "vieron al

niño con María, su madre". Se postraron y le hicieron homenaje.
