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.
