Cartas de San Pablo...


Cartas de San Pablo.

Cabellera. 
Juzguen por ustedes mismos. ¿Está bien que la mujer ore a Dios con la cabeza descubierta? ¿No les enseña la misma naturaleza que es una afrenta para el varón la cabellera, mientras es una gloria para la mujer la cabellera? En efecto, la cabellera le ha sido dada a modo de velo. De todos modos, si alguien quiere discutir, no es ésa nuestra costumbre ni la de las Iglesias de Dios. (1 Co 11, 13-16). 
Comentario: 
La mujer puede ir con velo o sin velo a la iglesia. Si va con velo, hace bien; y si va sin velo, también hace bien porque la misma cabellera le hace como de velo, como lo dice aquí el mismo San Pablo.
Es una buena costumbre que la mujer vaya a la iglesia con velo. Y en estos tiempos se ha perdido esa costumbre, pero no está abolida la ley, sino que se da cierta libertad a las mujeres.
María Magdalena que lloró a los pies de Jesús y enjugó con sus cabellos las lágrimas que le caían sobre los pies del Señor, humilló lo más grande y glorioso que tiene la mujer, a saber: la cabellera, que es como seda natural con que Dios ha dotado a las mujeres.
Por eso quien va con velo a la iglesia procede mejor, porque sigue las normas que todavía tiene la Iglesia Católica, y oculta uno de sus encantos seductores, por los que el hombre mira a la mujer.
Pero las modas de hoy han hecho que las mujeres no sólo vayan sin velo a la iglesia, sino que muchas de ellas van tan indecorosamente vestidas, tan “elegantemente desnudas”, que es una vergüenza que se presenten tan descaradamente ante Dios, y sean motivo de tropiezo para los hombres.
¡San Pablo, ruega por nosotros!

A priest to know...


A priest to know

Father Ignacio Peries, reminiscent of Padre Pio

  Those who love to Padre Pio in life always want to find a priest who at least looks like the Holy of Gargano. In this testimony we find references to Father Ignatius, of Rosario, Argentina, and much of what is seen through these words remind us Pio. We are confident that in many other places also flourish other samples the love of God, priests full of vital spirituality, filled with the Holy Spirit, whom God by strange design covers with special thanks.
Father Ignacio Eucharistic surprised by his love, by the love with which consecrates the bread and wine. But also for the gift of intercession that the Lord gives, that makes souls are spiritual and physical healing in front of his blessing and gift of prophecy about the problems afflicting their souls. Father Emiliano Tardif, through which Jesus healed thousands of people used to say that it is not surprising that Jesus granted the gift of healing in these times, when most of the Gospels is stories of healings of the sick and demon-possessed. Jesus sent His apostles and disciples to heal, and now he does it again, it always has through the centuries.

The obvious question is, why Jesus gives these Thanks to Father Ignacio and not others? The answer is only God who decides at some point "decorate" with these talents to one of his ministers. But I suspect it is because Jesus knows that we are weak, we need these wonders from time to time, to revitalize our faith volatile.

the Phaters of the Church


The Fathers of the Church enlighten us

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and increases the glory of his house (Ps 48.17). Choose this verse as a treasure, put it as the foundation of your home, your life. Because wealth is not rich, but not wanting to get rich. Do you understand what I mean? Whoever wants to get rich needs to accumulate goods and money, while those who do not want to get rich always lives in opulence. (...)

Speaking and pretend not to speak, as I have said over and over again, slandering wealth but warn that misuse the good stuff. Riches adorned with good works, are good. So, how to become good? If riches come with remedias poverty, relief to poor and indigent. Let's hear what Job says of himself: I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame (Jb 29.15-16) Here a wealth itself contains no sin. But love for the poor: I opened my door to every passerby (Jb 31,32).See, this wealth is put at the service of wealth! (...) What I mean wealth? A wealth of virtue, wealth of almsgiving. There are rich that rob the other, as there are rich people who shared his own among the needy. One is enriched accumulating, the other dealing. One seed in the ground, the other cultivated the sky. One we love the crowds, the other accused the world. The truth that there is something that you should not be surprised: the greedy miser and not just those with hate his stinginess, but also those who did not suffer, the merciful, however, not only love that he were favored, but also everyone else.

Reflection...


REFLECTION OF THE DAY
Cause of all evil.
Sin is the cause of all evil. So we should not ever sin, because sin we get within reach of the devil, and can intervene in our lives and bring concerns, complications, sufferings and misfortunes of every kind. And everything comes through sin.
If you have the misfortune to commit a mortal sin or serious, we have to stay for a moment in that sorry state, but we must make an act of perfect contrition, that is, apologize to God for His sake, because we have offended and He is so good, and make the firm intention of going to confession with the priest soon. So if we do so, we'll be in God's grace and if we die in that state will save us. Of course, until we confess to the priest, we can not receive the Eucharist. But at least if we die in that span of time, we will not go to Hell.
If we saw what a sin, if we could see with our bodily eyes the ugliness of a soul sin, there never would sin, and horror the child would sin. But as we see, we do not measure the danger and evil of sin, and its ugliness.
Let us ask God to give us the grace to understand one bit what it means and what is sin. And to get an idea, think how terrible sin must be, to have brought Jesus to suffer and die that way!


Aliento cotidiano...


Aliento cotidiano

La vida es una larga escalera
que a veces con tropiezos, debemos subir.

Pero siempre hay descansos para meditar,
para evaluar lo alcanzado y tomar
aliento, para subir el siguiente escalón.

Nada se obtiene de la noche a la mañana,
todo se construye día a día, no se trata
de realizar esfuerzos gigantes.

Con la ayuda del Todopoderoso,
con empeño y pequeñas disciplinas cotidianas,
podemos llegar tan lejos como deseamos.

Ante todo debemos mirar hacia adelante
sin prevenciones. De cada error
debemos sacar una enseñanza.

Lo mejor es poner la frente en alto
para dejar atrás la adversidad
y con optimismo mirar hacia el futuro.

Debemos valorar y agradecer a Dios
tantas cosas valiosas que tenemos,
no tanto en lo material, pues puede
ser pasajero, más importante son
nuestros valores espirituales,
nuestras almas generosas, la familia
que conformamos y nuestros cinco
sentidos para poder trabajar.

Miremos pues, cuántos caminos
nos quedan por recorrer y cuántas metas
tenemos aún por alcanzar.

Virgen del Pilar...


A ti me arrimo, Virgen del Pilar

Para que, en este Año de la Fe,
me ayudes a conocer, amar y sentir mucho más
el contenido rico y verdadero de los caminos de tu Hijo.
Porque, en este Año de la Fe,
quiero que me animes a descubrir lo que doy por cierto.
pero, tal vez, no me he asomado a mirarlo.
Para que, en este Año de la Fe,
la oración sea oxígeno
para el pulmón de mi esperanza,
paz en mis horas de desasosiego,
fortaleza en los instantes de cruz y prueba.

A ti me arrimo, Virgen del Pilar.
Porque, mis seguridades, son tibias y débiles
e incapaces de resistir la invasión del maligno.
Porque, mis dioses, son muchos y pretenciosos,
pequeños pero grandes a la vez,
insignificantes pero convirtiéndome en su vasallo,
elocuentes pero engañosos en cuanto me ofrecen.

A ti me arrimo, Virgen del Pilar.
Porque mi fidelidad a Dios no es limpia ni sincera
y, porque esa fidelidad, quisiera fuera reflejada
en el espejo de tu amor y de tu entrega sin fisuras.
Porque, mi obediencia, la ofrezco a pequeños sorbos
y, muchas veces, en vasos a mi gusto y complacencia.
Porque, mi oración, es quebrada por mil distracciones,
interesada, pobre y poco confiada.

A ti me arrimo, Virgen del Pilar.
Buscando luz para interrogantes sin respuestas.
Firmeza en un suelo que se resquebraja por mil circunstancias.
Aliento para un mundo que peregrina sin horizonte.
Esperanza para tantas almas que desean ser buenas.
Ilusión para los que, hoy como ayer,
queremos llevar la Palabra de Cristo
a tantos micrófonos que buscan mensajes con sabor a cielo.

A ti me arrimo, Virgen del Pilar.
Porque, hoy más que nunca,
sé que estás muy cerca de Aquel en el que yo creo,
y desde la eternidad me acompaña.
Amén.

P. Javier Leoz


Post Eucharistic...


post Eucharistic

Turns souls.
Many times we pray and ask for our loved ones back to God's way, become, change of life! But we can not alone, because the conversion is a grace of God and God himself must attract souls. So we have to go where God is, at the foot of the Shrine, the Blessed Sacrament, to ask for those who want, and that the Lord also wants, but we are hoping to attract again plead our loved ones to well, that is also merit increase our and our glory on earth, but above all our glory in heaven, where every soul will have become is like a pearl in our eternal crown.
Often souls are deaf to the voices and human words, and need God's words directly, they talk with facts and events. So we go to God, to Jesus in the Eucharist, and pray, Let us pray that speak to the hearts of those we love and who are far from Him, and we are sure that the Lord hear our prayer persevering and assess every second spent at his feet, compared the Tabernacle.
And get ready to see great wonders because who pray to Jesus in the Eucharist, will become so deeply, you will have a great zeal to save souls and maybe we will advance in virtue, so much as they will boost the Lord.
