Misa Curativa

El Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos será ofrecido.

From Fr. Davy’s Desk: We read in the Gospel this weekend Jesus saying: “Whoever loves me will keep my

word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with

him.” This is great news for us! God is making our home his dwelling place! Home means dif-

ferent things to different people. For some people, home is just a place where we sleep. It pro-

vides a safe haven from the world and nothing more. Indeed as long as home provides a bed

and some food, that’s enough. Homes are places that nurture us, places we rest comfortably in

and places from which we launch ourselves into the world. We need to open our home for God

to come in and stay.

This Saturday sixteen young adults receive the sacrament of Confirmation. They invite

the Holy Spirit into their hearts allowing the Spirit to stay with them forever. We do a lot of

renovation to make our home better. We see a lot of commercials on the television with the

recommendations and the products to make our dwelling places better. The founder of our

CMI religious community, Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara, wrote to the members, “the size of

the monastery doesn’t depend upon the thickness of the wall or the height of the building but

depends upon the zeal and the unity of the members live inside the monastery”. It is true with

every home. We don’t need to have a fancy apartment or huge building to stay. What makes a

house a family is the unity and the zeal of the members. It is possible by giving a place to God

in our hearts and house. God’s dwelling with us will bring us real love, unity and peace.

As we continue doing renovation on our houses and apartments we need to make our

home the dwelling place of God. We pray Jesus and Mary come to our home and transform it

to a peaceful home. As the newly confirmed go home taking the fruit and the gifts of the Holy

Spirit with them, let us pray that the love of God and the abiding of the Holy Spirit transform

us. Congratulations to the newly confirmed young adults and thanks to the teachers and par-

ents who prepared them. Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI

Mensaje del Padre Davy: Leemos en el Evangelio este fin de semana, Jesús diciendo: "El que me ama, cumplirá mi pa-

labra, y mi Padre lo amará, y haremos en él nuestra morada". ¡Esta es una gran noticia para

nosotros! ¡Dios está haciendo de nuestro hogar su morada! Hogar significa diferentes cosas

para diferentes personas. Para algunas personas, el hogar es solo un lugar donde dormimos.

Proporciona un refugio seguro del mundo y nada más. De hecho, mientras el hogar proporcio-

ne una cama y algo de comida, eso es suficiente. Las casas son lugares que nos nutren, lugares

en los que descansamos cómodamente y lugares desde los cuales nos lanzamos al mundo. Ne-

cesitamos abrir nuestro hogar para que Dios entre y se quede.

Este sábado dieciséis jóvenes reciben el sacramento de la Confirmación. Invitan al Espíritu

Santo a sus corazones permitiendo que el Espíritu permanezca con ellos para siempre. Hace-

mos muchas renovaciones para mejorar nuestra casa. Vemos muchos anuncios en la televisión

con las recomendaciones y los productos para mejorar nuestras viviendas. El fundador de

nuestra comunidad religiosa del CMI, San Elías Chavara, escribió a los miembros diciendo,

“La medida del monasterio no depende del grosor de la pared, ni de la altura del edificio, sino

del celo y la unidad de los miembros que viven dentro del monasterio”. Es verdad con cada

hogar. No necesitamos tener un apartamento lujoso o un edificio enorme para quedarnos. Lo

que hace que una casa sea una familia es la unidad y el celo de los miembros. Es posible dan-

do un lugar a Dios en nuestros corazones y en nuestra casa. La morada de Dios con nosotros

nos traerá verdadero amor, unidad y paz.

A medida que continuamos haciendo renovaciones en nuestras casas y apartamentos, necesita-

mos hacer de nuestra casa el lugar donde vive Dios. Oramos para que Jesús y María vengan a

nuestro hogar y lo transformen en un hogar pacífico. Mientras los recién confirmados regresan

a casa llevando consigo el fruto y los dones del Espíritu Santo, oremos para que el amor de

Dios y la permanencia del Espíritu Santo nos transformen. Felicitaciones a los jóvenes confir-

mados y gracias a los maestros y padres que los prepararon. Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI
