Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing hand to heal them. Touch their soul with Your compassion for others. Touch their Heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch their mind with Your wisdom, that their mouth may always pro-claim Your praise. Te-ach them to reach out to You in their need, and
help them to lead others to You by example. Most loving Heart of Jesús, bring them health in body and spirit that they may serve You with all their strength. Touch gently these lives which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

Gospel: Mark 9: 30-37 When people suspect that something bad is about to hap-
pen, fear sometimes causes them to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that everything will remain the same. When Jesus tried to tell his disci-ples about how he would soon suffer and die, they were afraid to ask him any questions. They acted as though everything would stay the same. They
even argued about who was the greatest among them. So Jesus cor-rected them by saying that whoever wanted to be the greatest would have to be the servant of all. Embracing a small child, Jesus told the disciples, "Whoever welcomes a child such as this welcomes me." He wanted them to understand that they were to be willing servants with the childlike qualities of innocence, honesty, and lack of pretension. Jesus identified himself with the innocent child who is completely de-pendent on God. 1.) What kinds of bad news at home or at school might people your age not want to face? 2.) Do you think it is better to act as though everything will be alright, or to ask questions about what might happen? 3.) Why? In what ways have you ever been involved in argu ments about "Who's the greatest?
Evangeglio: Marco 9: 30-37 Cuando la gente sospecha que algo malo va a pasar, el miedo
les hace meter la cabeza en la arena y piensan que todo estará igual. Cuando Jesús trató de decir a sus discípulos que él sufriría y moriría, ellos tu-vieron miedo de hacerle cualquier pregunta. Actu-aron como si nada fuera a pasar. Discutieron so-bre quien sería el que ocuparía el mayor lugar
entre ellos. Así que Jesús los corrigió diciendo que aquel que quisiera ser el mayor debía ser el que sirviera a todos. Abrazando a un niño, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos, "El que acoge a un niño a mí me acoge". El quería que ellos entendieran que debían estar dispuestos a servir con las cualidades de un niño, inocente, honesto y sin pretensión. Jesús se identificó como un niño inocente que depende completamente de Dios. 1.)¿Qué tipo de malas noticias en tu casa o escuela a personas de tu edad les gustaría desvanecer? 2.) ¿Crees que es mejor actuar como si nada fuera a pasar, o preguntar sobre lo que pueda pasar? 3.)¿Por qué? ¿En qué forma te has involucrado en discusiones sobre "quién es el más importante"?

Why do we sometimes use incense in the Mass? Today’s incense is made from Frankincense, which is derived from the sap of desert trees. It has been prized in the Middle East for centuries, and became associated with Jesus since the Magi (The Wise Men) offered it as a gift (Matthew 2:10-11). The sweet smell of incense is intended to please God and its smoke is like our prayers rising up to Heaven. Incense can be used during Mass to show reverence for the altar, the Gospels, the bread and wine, the assembly or con-gregation, and the body of the deceased during a funeral. God bless you. Fr. Alex
La Esquina del Administrador 23 de septiembre del 2012-25to. Domingo del
Tiempo Ordinario-Año “B”. ¿Por qué a veces se usa el incienso en la iglesia? El incienso que utilizamos hoy en día proviene de la savia de árboles del desierto. Ha sido un material muy preciado en el Medio Oriente. Se le asocia con Jesús desde que los Reyes Magos se lo ofrecieron como regalo (Mateo 2:10-11). El dulce aroma que desprende sirve para agradar a Dios y el humo es como nuestras oraciones elevándose al cielo. El incienso puede utilizarse durante la Misa para demostrar reverencia al altar, los Evangelios, el pan y el vino y a toda la asamblea congregada en el templo. También se utiliza para demostrar reverencia ante el cuerpo de un difunto durante su funeral. ¡Dios los bendiga! Padre Alex
