Reflexión
En el Evangelio de hoy escuchamos a dos hombres, un publicano y un fariseo que fueron al templo para hacer oracion a Dios. El fariseo pensaba que Dios estaba muy orgulloso de el y de todo lo que hacıa. El publicano en cambio pensaba que el no era digno de acercarse a Dios porque era pecador. Simplemente pedıa misericordia. Sospecho que muchos de nosotros nos desconcertamos al oır esta parabola. Porque quiza pensamos como el fariseo y nos decimos a nosotros mismos: Yo me siento una persona muy buena, asisto a Misa los domingos, cumplo los mandamientos, doy mi colecta a mi parroquia, trato de convivir con mi vecino, etcetera. Sin embargo, Jesus nos indica que eso no es lo correcto. ¿Donde esta lo incorrecto del fariseo? E# l olvido un im-portante elemento de la vida espiritual: la humildad que nos lleva a la justi$icacion ante Dios. Dios es el misericordioso el que nos salva. Reconocer que somos pecadores como el publicano y descubrir el inmenso amor de Dios hacia nosotros es lo que las lecturas de hoy tratan de ensenarnos. "La oracion del humilde atraviesa las nubes, y mientras el no obtiene lo que pide, permanece sin descanso y no de-siste" (Eclo 35, 17). Es importante cumplir con nuestros deberes espir-ituales y sociales, no es malo cumplir los mandamientos y ser buenos, pero, hay que estar atentos al mensaje de Jesus en el Evangelio de hoy. Estar atentos en enfocarnos en la bondad de Dios. Reconocer que to-dos somos pecadores y que todos tenemos necesidad de la misericor-dia de Dios es una gracia. ¡Pidamonos esa gracia en esta Eucaristıa!

DEVOTION TO MARY (A Rose for Mary Ministry}
Blessed Virgin Mary Please Pray This Week Especially for
Darrell Meyer
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who !led to thy protection, im-plored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left un-aided. Inspired with this con!idence, I !ly to thee, O Vir-gin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incar-nate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
The Rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In rela-
tion to the Blessed Mother it displays perfect love, form, fra-
grance, and color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us
that Our Lord Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up
his blood for all humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this
suffering and death !irst hand at the foot of the cross.
