Tengan los mismos sentimientos que tuvo Cristo Jesús.

St Joseph Catholic Church † Iglesia Catolica San Jose
In the Catholic Spiritual Tradition, we require certain basic attitudes that will facilitate our love for Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. Primarily we should abstain from the tendency for a curious and vain examination of this Sacrament which will only lead into the depths of doubt. We must recognize the truth that God can do more than man can understand. He will allow a pious and humble search for truth. This search is ever ready to learn and seeks to walk in the reasonable doctrine of the Fathers.
We have to have a level of simplicity that leaves the difficult way of dispute and goes forward on the firm path of God’s commandments. Searching beyond our limits only results in our loss of the devotion which is essential for every believer. We have to submit ourselves to God and humble reason to faith and we will receive the light of understanding. There are some who are gravely tempted concerning the faith and the Sacrament. When the tempting moments arise, do not dispute in the mind nor answer the doubts sent by the devil. We must believe the words of God and the teachings of His saints and prophets. The evil enemy will flee from you. Satan does not tempt unbelievers and sinners whom he already holds securely. In many ways the devil does tempt and trouble the faithful servant. We must approach this Sacrament with sincere and unflinching faith and humble reverence. Whatever we do not understand we must leave to the all-powerful God who does not deceive us. If we trust in ourselves, we will be deceived. God walks with sincere persons, reveals Himself to humble people, enlightens the understanding of pure minds, and hides His grace from the curious and the proud. Human reason is mostly weak and can be deceived. True faith cannot be deceived. All reason and natural science ought to come after faith, not go before it, nor oppose it. In this most Holy and supremely excellent sacrament, faith and love take precedence and work in a hidden manner.
God, eternal, incomprehensible, and infinitely powerful, does great and inscrutable things in heaven and on earth, and there is no searching into His marvelous works. If all the works of God were such that human reason can easily grasp them, they would not be called wonderful or beyond the power of words to tell.
Simple faith and humble devotion are two habits that we should train our children very early in their lives, even before they get glued to the media messages and gadgets of the enticing entertainment world. God bless you all.
En la Tradición Espiritual Católica, requerimos ciertas actitudes básicas que faciliten nuestro amor a Jesús en la Santa Eucaristía. Principalmente debemos abstenernos de la tendencia de dudar y pensar que hay algo vano en este Sacramento eso sólo nos conducirá a las profundidades de la duda. Debemos reconocer la verdad de que Dios puede hacer más de lo que el hombre puede entender. Esto nos permitirá buscar a Dios con piadad y humilde. Esta búsqueda está siempre lista para aprender y busca caminar en la doctrina razonable de los Padres. Tenemos que tener un nivel de simplicidad que deja el difícil camino de la disputa y avanza en el firme camino de los mandamientos de Dios. La búsqueda más allá de nuestros límites sólo resulta en nuestra pérdida de la devoción que es esencial para cada creyente. Tenemos que someternos a Dios y humillar la razón a la fe y recibiremos la luz del entendimiento. Hay algunos que son gravemente tentados con respecto a la fe y el Sacramento. Cuando surjan los momentos tentadores, no discuta en la mente ni responda las dudas enviadas por el diablo. Debemos creer las palabras de Dios y las enseñanzas de Sus santos y profetas. El enemigo malvado huirá de ti. Satanás no tienta a los incrédulos y a los pecadores a los que ya tiene seguros. En muchos sentidos el demonio intenta y atormenta al siervo fiel. Debemos acercarnos a este Sacramento con fe sincera e inquebrantable y humilde. Todo lo que no entendemos debemos dejar al Dios todopoderoso que no nos engaña. Si confiamos en nosotros mismos, seremos engañados. Dios camina con personas sinceras, se revela a las personas humildes, ilumina el entendimiento a las mentes puras y oculta su gracia a los curiosos y orgullosos. La razón humana es en su mayoría débil y puede ser engañada. La verdadera fe no puede ser engañada. Toda razón y ciencia natural debe venir después de la fe, no ir antes que ella, ni oponerse a ella. En este santísimo y sumamente excelente sacramento, la fe y el amor tienen precedencia y obran de manera oculta. Dios, eterno, incomprensible e infinitamente poderoso, hace cosas grandes e inescrutables en el cielo y en la tierra, y no hay búsqueda en sus obras maravillosas. Si todas las obras de Dios fueran tales que la razón humana pueda captarlas fácilmente, no se les llamaría maravillosas o más allá del poder de las palabras. La fe simple y la humilde devoción son dos hábitos que debemos enseñar a nuestros hijos muy temprano en sus vidas, incluso antes de que los medios de comunicación y otras distacciones los tienten con el mundo del entretenimiento. Dios los bendiga a todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La práctica de usar nudos en una cuerda para contar oraciones tiene una larga trayectoria en la fe cristiana. Originalmente un cordón con 150 nudos o piedritas se usaba para contar la recitación de los 150 salmos encontrados en la Sagrada Escritura. Con el tiempo, visto que mucha gente no podía leer o recitar de memoria los salmos, se sustituyeron por el uso de 150 Padrenuestros. A finales de la Edad Media muchos sustituyeron los Padrenuestros con el saludo del ángel Gabriel a María. En el siglo XVI se formuló lo que hoy reconocemos como el Avemaría, y en el año 1569, el Papa Pío V estableció el Rosario en su forma y uso actual.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Eucharistic Prayer IV is, like Eucharistic Prayer III, a fresh composition from the 1960s, based on a prayer from the tradition of the ancient church of Alexandria. It has an interesting structural feature. The new prayers all nod toward the East with the epiclesis, or calling down of the Spirit, over the gifts. In this prayer the Spirit is asked to come down again, after the consecration, to make holy the communicants who “partake of this one Bread and one Chalice that, gathered into one body by the Holy Spirit, they may truly become a living sacrifice in Christ to the praise of your glory.” This beautiful phrase is well worth meditating on. What is the goal of your reception of Holy Communion today?
En la corriente de lecturas durante esta porción del Tiempo Ordinario a menudo parece que los textos de una semana se retoman donde concluyeron los de la semana anterior. Los sentimientos expresados en la primera lectura de hoy parecen ser reacción directa ante el pasaje del Evangelio que escuchamos la semana pasada. En ese Evangelio, el dueño de la viña paga el mismo salario a sus trabajadores, sea que hayan trabajado todo el día o sólo en los últimos minutos de la jornada. Hoy Ezequiel ofrece este lamento, “No es justo el proceder del Señor” (Ezequiel 18:25). Estos domingos del Tiempo Ordinario nos ofrecen una ojeada del proceder del Señor. Vemos cómo ese proceder tiene la tendencia de poner patas arriba las convenciones aceptadas. Los que siempre esperaron que su camino al cielo estaba garantizado quedaron desilusionados. A los que pensaron que nunca tendrían la oportunidad, se les da la oportunidad. Hoy se nos ofrece la oportunidad de descubrir la abundancia de la misericordia y el amor de Dios.
Los ángeles pueden volar porque se toman a sí mismos a la ligera. —G.K. Chesterton
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your
heart. —St. Francis of Assisi
