READINGS I dare you to answer; God is calling You!

My dear friends and parishioners of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. This Sunday we are

celebrating the birthday of St. John the Baptist. He is one of the greatest prophets who an-

nounce the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we celebrate his feast, we can also medi-

tate in our calling. I believe that today more than never, it is essential and important to re-

spond to God.

When we speak about vocation is not exclusively the calling to be a priest or to be a nun.

Vocation it is a call to each one of us to answer personally to God. He is the One who is call-

ing us to follow him. We were call to life, we were created to live and to enjoy this wonderful

world. The second call as a Catholics, we were called to be children of God, we are not just

creatures, through our baptism we were called to be: king, prophet, and priest. Getting ma-

ture in our lives, we need to make a choice to a specific vocation: matrimony; priesthood or

consecrated life; and celibacy.

How do we know which direction is our call? For that we need to respond with sincerity and

guided through a good discernment process. First, we need to pray and to open our ears to

God and to discover in which way he is calling us.

Jesus never forces his way into our lives. He is too polite to do that, too respectful of our

freedom. He has very good manners. He refuses to conquer hearts by compulsion, to

cause conversions by causing concussions. Instead, he acts gently, gradually. He prepares us

for the special graces he has in store for us. He is always thinking of us, and he guides us

through life little by little, just as he revealed the gospel little by little, first through John the

Baptist, then by preaching and miracles, and finally through his passion and resurrection.

Everyone must answer, the responsibility is ours. Let us pray that we be generous and

answer to God, He is the one who choose us. He is the one who wants that we must be

happy in our life. How do you want to respond to his call?

With my prayers for you,

Fr. Gerardo Cisneros, M.Sp.S.

Te atreves a responder; ¡Dios te está llamando!

Mis queridos amigos y feligreses de la Iglesia Católica de San Vicente de Paúl. Este domingo

estamos celebrando el cumpleaños de San Juan Bautista. Él es uno de los profetas más

grandes que anuncian la venida de nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo. Al celebrar su fiesta, tam-

bién podemos meditar en nuestro llamado. Creo que hoy más que nunca, es esencial e im-

portante responder a Dios.

Cuando hablamos de vocación no es exclusivamente a la vocación de ser sacerdote o de

monja. Vocación es un llamado a cada uno de nosotros a responder personalmente a Dios.

Él es Aquel que nos está llamando a seguirlo. Fuimos llamados a la vida, fuimos creados

para vivir y disfrutar de este maravilloso mundo. El segundo llamado como católicos, fuimos

llamados a ser hijos de Dios, no somos sólo criaturas, a través de nuestro bautismo fuimos

llamados a ser: rey, profeta y sacerdote. Madurando en nuestras vidas, necesitamos tomar

una decisión a una vocación específica: el matrimonio; sacerdocio o vida consagrada; y el

celibato.

¿Cómo saber qué dirección es nuestro llamado? Para eso necesitamos responder con since-

ridad y guiados a través de un buen proceso de discernimiento. Primero, necesitamos orar y

abrir nuestros oídos a Dios y descubrir de qué manera nos está llamando.

Jesús nunca fuerza su camino en nuestras vidas. Es demasiado educado para hacerlo, de-

masiado respetuoso de nuestra libertad. Tiene muy buenos modales. Se niega a conquistar

corazones por obligación, para causar conversiones al causar conmociones cerebrales. En

cambio, actúa suavemente, gradualmente. Él nos prepara para las gracias especiales que él

tiene reservadas para nosotros. Él siempre está pensando en nosotros, y nos guía a través

de la vida poco a poco, así como él reveló el evangelio poco a poco, primero a través de

Juan el Bautista, luego por la predicación y los milagros, y finalmente a través de su pasión y

resurrección.

Todos debemos responder, la responsabilidad es nuestra. Oremos para que seamos genero-

sos y respondamos a Dios, Él es el que nos elige. Él es el que quiere que seamos felices en

nuestra vida. ¿Cómo quieres responder a su llamada?

Con mis oraciones por ti, y tu familia.

P. Gerardo Cisneros, M.Sp.S.

WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED

Question: What is the “Miraculous Medal” and why is it called that?

Answer: The medal of the Immaculate Conception that has come to

be called simply the “Miraculous Medal” dates back to an appari-

tion of Mary to Saint Catherine Laboure, who was then a novice

sister with the Daughters of Charity. On November 27, 1830, Our

Lady appeared to her standing on a globe, with shafts of light

streaming from her hands and the words, “O Mary, conceived with-

out sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee,” surrounding the

image. In the same vision, Catherine saw a capital “M” with a cross

above it and below two hearts. Catherine seemed to hear a voice

telling her to have what she saw struck as a medal and a promise

that those who wore the medal would have the protection and

intercession of the Mother of God. The first 1,500 of medals were

distributed in 1832. Many miraculous favors were attributed to the use of the medal.

Saint Catherine’s “Miraculous Medal” is among the recognizable and popular symbols of modern Catholicism. Reflecting on its widespread use, the 2001 Vatican document, “Directory on Popular Piety and Liturgy,” observes that the medal “recalls the mystery of Redemption, the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Sorrowful Heart of Mary. It signifies the mediatory role of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mystery of the Church, the relationship between Heaven and earth, this life and eternal life.”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT! GRACIAS POR SU GENERSO APOYO!

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN

YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

Touching the Cloak of Christ

Look to today’s Gospel and you’ll find one of the most arresting imag-

es in all of Scripture. Christ in a crowd, everyone clamoring for his

attention, pressing against him. Several feet away, is a chronically ill

woman, weak and desperate for help. She knows she doesn’t have a

chance of getting his attention. She has no connections. She has no

strength. All she can do is lift up her hand.

So that’s what she does. She reaches out.

There comes a time, or maybe several times, in each of our lives when

we become this woman. We’re tired and we’re sick. Is it with sin?

With fear? With anger? It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, it’s made us

weak, and we feel like we’ve run out of options. We’ve looked for

help and come up empty.

We’ve consulted friends and gotten nowhere. We’re lost in the crowd

of life, unable to stick our heads above the pressing throng to wave

for help.

And there is Christ, always passing by us. The hem of his cloak is never

far from our grasp. We have no hope of a big miracle like the syna-

gogue leader. We don’t even bother asking for that. But that cloak ...

we can touch that cloak. That’s something we can do.

Do we do it, though? Do we have the confidence of that sick, beaten-

down woman who knew so totally that healing was there for the tak-

ing? Or do we retreat back into the crowd, stumbling back home with

our pain and our sinfulness? Reach out, friends. However, whatever,

whenever — reach out. Christ will not fail you.
