June 11, 2023, The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) Stewardship Reflection
”Because there is one bread, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:17
As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us. We are called to be fed and to feed others. Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose. One, it helps build God's kingdom here on earth. Two, it helps us strengthen each other's relationship with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It becomes our roadmap to Heaven. Let's help each other get there!
11 de junio de 2023, El Santísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo (Corpus Christi)
“Puesto que el pan es uno solo, nosotros, siendo muchos, somos un solo cuerpo; pues todos participamos de un solo pan”. 1 CORINTIOS 10:17
Como discípulos de Jesús, todos somos llamados a llevar una vida santa y a invitar a otros a unirse a nosotros. Somos llamados a ser alimentados y a alimentar a otros. Llevar un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad, ser agradecidos y generosos, tiene un doble propósito. Uno, ayudar a construir el reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. Dos, ayudar a fortalecer la relación de cada uno con Dios Padre, Jesús y el Espíritu Santo. Eso se convierte en nuestra hoja de ruta al Cielo. ¡Ayudémonos unos a otros a llegar allí!

June 18, 2023, 11th Sunday of Ordinary Time Stewardship Reflection
”As you go, make this proclamation: 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Matthew 1o:7
Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love. Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second -- invite the Lord into your heart.
18 de junio de 2023, 11.o Domingo del tiempo ordinario
“Y cuando vayan, prediquen diciendo: 'El reino de los cielos se ha acercado'”. MATEO 10:7
Muchos de nosotros damos nuestras vidas por sentado. Pensamos que tenemos tiempo suficiente para “arrepentirnos”. Tal vez deberíamos vivir con un poco más de urgencia en hacer las cosas bien con Dios. Esa es la diferencia entre vivir nuestro discipulado por obligación y vivirlo por amor. La obligación implica hacer el mínimo requerido. El amor implica que queremos una relación. Dios quiere que estemos con Él en el Cielo por siempre, pero también quiere tener una relación con nosotros justo ahora, mientras que estamos en la tierra. Comience en este instante, invite al Señor a entrar en su corazón.

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.” MATTHEW 10:32
Would others know that you are Catholic by the way you act and speak? Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situation arises or do you remain silent? Do you pray in public before meals? Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself. Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!
25 de junio de 2023, 12.o Domingo del tiempo ordinario
“A cualquiera que me reconozca delante de los demás, yo también lo reconoceré delante de mi Padre que está en el cielo”. MATEO 10:32
¿Pueden los demás reconocer que usted es Católico por la forma en la que habla y actúa? ¿Comparte su fe Católica con otros? Si se presenta el caso, ¿defiende su Fe Católica o se queda callado? ¿Reza en público antes de las comidas? Rece para tener la fuerza y la valentía de ser un testigo jubiloso de nuestra fe Católica cuando se presente la oportunidad. ¡Transformémonos en la luz radiante y los testigos valientes que estamos llamados a ser!
