“Un mandamiento nuevo”
“Amense los unos a los otros como yo los he amado.” Hoy, Jesús nos invita a amarnos los unos a los otros. También en este mundo complejo que nos toca vivir, complejo en el bien y en el mal que se mezcla y amalgama. Frecuentemente tenemos la tentación de mirarlo como una fatalidad, una mala noticia y, en cambio, los cristianos somos los encargados de aportar, en un mundo violento e injusto, la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo.
En efecto, Jesús nos dice que «os améis unos a otros como yo os he amado» (Jn 13,34). Y una buena manera de am-arnos, un modo de poner en práctica la Palabra de Dios es anunciar, a toda hora, en todo lugar, la Buena Nueva, el Evangelio que no es otro que Jesucristo mismo.
«Llevamos este tesoro en recipientes de barro» (2Cor 4,7). ¿Cuál es este tesoro? El de la Palabra, el de Dios mismo, y nosotros somos los recipientes de barro. Pero este tesoro es una preciosidad que no podemos guardar para nosotros mis-mos, sino que lo hemos de difundir: «Id, pues, y haced discípu-los a todas las gentes (...) enseñándoles a guardar todo lo que yo os he mandado. Y he aquí que yo estoy con vosotros todos los días hasta el fin del mundo» (Mt 28,19-20). De hecho, San Juan Pablo II escribió: «quien ha encontrado verdaderamente a Cristo no puede tenerlo sólo para sí, debe anunciarlo».
Con esta confianza, anunciamos el Evangelio; hagámoslo con todos los medios disponibles y en todos los lugares posibles: de palabra, de obra y de pensamiento, por el periódico, por Internet, en el trabajo y con los amigos... «Que vuestro buen trato sea conocido de todos los hombres. El Señor está cerca»(Flp.4,5).
Por tanto, y como nos recalca el Papa Juan Pablo II, hay que utilizar las nuevas tecnologías, sin miramientos, sin vergüen-zas, para dar a conocer las Buenas Nuevas de la Iglesia hoy, sin olvidar que sólo siendo gente de buen trato, sólo cambiando nuestro corazón, conseguiremos que también cambie nuestro mundo. Esta semana, hacemos la Colecta de Servicios de Ayuda Católica para ayudar a seis agencias católicas que brindan alivio y apoyo a las comunidades en dificultades, trabajan por la paz y la reconciliación entre nuestros hermanos y hermanas marginados aquí y en todo el mundo. Por favor, considere en oración cómo puede apoyar la colecta. Conozca más sobre la colecta en: www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.
La Campaña Anual del Obispo 2019
"Estamos llamados ...", cada uno de nosotros está invitado a dar nuestros dones, talentos y recursos con el mismo espíritu de generosidad que Dios nos ha dado en Su Hijo, y nuestro Señor, Jesús. Estamos llamados a usar nuestros dones dados por Dios para cuidarnos unos a otros; Estamos llamados a vivir vidas de santidad. Cuando usamos la bendición de Dios para hacer nuestra donación o promesa anual, nos unimos con todas nuestras hermanas y hermanos en Cristo a lo largo de la diócesis para hacer la obra del Señor, —una obra que ninguna persona o parroquia puede hacer sola. ¡Gracias de antemano por considerar una donación financiera para la Apelación Anual del Obispo de este año para que podamos vivir nuestra fe con alegría!
"A new commandment" "Love one another as I have loved you."
Today, Jesus invites us to love one another. Also in this complex world that we have to live, complex in good and evil that mixes and amalgamates. We are often tempted to see it as a fatality, bad news and, on the other hand, Christians are responsible for bringing, in a violent and unjust world, the Good News of Jesus Christ. Indeed, Jesus tells us to "love one another as I have loved you" (Jn 13,34). And a good way to love ourselves, a way to put into practice the Word of God is to proclaim, at all times, in every place, the Good News, the Gospel that is none other than Jesus Christ himself. «We carry this treasure in earthenware containers» (2Cor 4,7). What is this treasure? That of the Word, that of God himself, and we are the vessels of clay. But this treasure is a preciousness that we can not keep for ourselves, but we must spread it: "Go, then, and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world "(Mt 28,19-20). In fact, St. John Paul II wrote: "whoever has truly found Christ can not have it only for himself, he must announce it". With this confidence, we announce the Gospel; let's do it with all available means and in all possible places: in word, in deed and in thought, in the newspaper, on the Internet, at work and with friends ... «May your good treatment be known to all men . The Lord is near »(Flp 4,5). Therefore, as Pope John Paul II emphasizes, we must use new technologies, without regard, without embarrassment, to make the Good News of the Church known today, without forgetting that only by being good people, only by changing our heart, we will also change our world. This week, we take up The Catholic Relief Services Collec-tion to assist six Catholic agencies that provide relief and support to struggling communities and work for peace and reconciliation among our marginalized brothers and sisters here and around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection. Learn more about the collection at : www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal 2019 " We are Called...", Each of us is invited to give our gifts, tal-ents and resources in the same spirit of generous giving that God has given to us in His Son, and our Lord, Jesus. We are called to use our God-given gifts to care for one another; we are called, to live lives of holiness. When we use God’s bless-ing to make our annual gift or pledge, we join with all of our sisters and brothers in Christ throughout the diocese to do the Lord’s work — work that no one individual or parish can do alone. Thank you in advance for your consideration of a finan-cial gift to this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal so that we may joyfully live our faith!
