Luz para la humanidad...

Luz para la humanidad

 

Sí, Señor, así te vemos y así te sentimos.

Desde el día de tu llegada a nuestro mundo

alegraste la noche oscura del hombre.

Lo hiciste en silencio, sin ruido

pero, en Belén, fuiste luz en medio

de un impresionante firmamento estrellado.

 

Tú, Señor, eres la luz del mundo.

Entonces ¿qué somos nosotros, Señor?

Somos pequeñas luces, de tu inmensa luz

Somos pequeños ríos, de tu inmenso mar.

Somos pequeños destello, de tu inmenso sol.

Eres, Señor, luz de la humanidad.

 

Quien a Ti escucha, encuentra alivio.

Quien a Ti sigue, se siente protegido.

Quien a Ti bendice, queda engrandecido,

sobrecogido y enardecido por tu presencia, Señor.

 

Nunca, nuestra tierra,

cesará de darte gracias por tu Palabra.

Por poner esperanza a nuestro lado.

Por sembrar ilusiones en nuestros senderos.

Por levantarnos, con y por tu Palabra,

cuando nos sentimos decepcionados,

engañados o humillados,

por tanta palabra y bisutería que ofrece el mundo.

¡Gracias, Señor!

 

Sigues siendo luz de muchos pueblos.

Horizonte de muchas metas.

Vida de muchas vidas.

Orgullo de millones de hombres y mujeres

que, sintiendo la peligrosa noche,

saben que Tú sigues siendo… la LUZ.

Amén.

 

P. Javier Leoz

Flowers...

Flowers of Tabernacle

Point of departure and arrival.

The tabernacle where the Blessed Sacrament should be our starting point and our point of arrival at each apostolic work we undertake, as Jesus said in the Gospel that without Him we can do nothing, then, if you really want to do something for the salvation of souls and for our own salvation, we must start from the foot of the tabernacle, for advice to the King of kings, and then fill out their thanks and refining your work, and then, at the end of the work day, get back to the feet of the Blessed Sacrament to be accountable and to thank him for the result obtained and offer it all to Him, that is who has the most merit.

If our apostolic not begin and end at the Tabernacle, then do not take off that last, Let us keep well in mind. For it is God who makes it grow, and that we get going at the feet of Jesus in the Eucharist.

We now understand why there is so little fruit in the apostolate of many faithful, and even priests, who do not spend anywhere near the Blessed Sacrament and I have forgotten. It is logical that these works do not bear fruit, because without the Vine branch can not produce fruit.

When we have to see something important, we will consult with the Lord in the Tabernacle. If we make a difficult decision, we also visited Jesus to advise us. But let's just tell the Lord that we love, we want to be with him, because the lover wants to be with the beloved.

Blessed and praised be the Blessed Sacrament.

Confiar...

No desmayes y confía

 

Cuentan que una vez una expedición que iba

a darle la vuelta al mundo en globo, se vio atrapada

en un cúmulo de nubes a 6000 metros de altura,

nubes tan espesas y extensas que el globo se empezó

a cubrir de escarcha. Esto hacía que perdieran peso

rápidamente y la única forma de salir de allí era poder

salir por encima de las nubes para que el sol deshiciera

la escarcha y que ahí el otro globo les asistiera.

Pero descendían rápidamente, empezaron entonces

a tirar las cámaras de video, el equipo la ropa y hasta

los libros, hasta que finalmente se quedaron solamente

con lo que andaban puesto y con su fe y oración.

El globo comenzó poco a poco a salir hasta

que los rayos del sol empezaron a derretir ese hielo

en el globo y pudieron ser asistidos.

Muchas veces en nuestras vidas sentimos

que todo va hacia abajo, y que cada vez hay

más peso que nos lleva hacia el abismo.

Jesús mandaba a sus apóstoles sin nada adicional,

más que su ropa y un bastón, para enseñarles

a confiar en Dios y no en lo material que tenían.

 

Nosotros estamos atados a dinero, comodidades,

lujos, autos y casas, y por eso muchas veces

sentimos que vamos hacia el vacío.

Deja todas esas cosas materiales, así como

tus rencores, odios y tristezas. Confía solamente

en Dios, y Él sacará tu globo a flote por encima

de las nubes y su luz te librará de todas las cosas

que pesaban sobre tu vida.

Sigue adelante. ¡No desmayes y confía!

Working...

Working with illusion

Some workers were breaking stones
front of a huge construction site.
A visitor approached one of the workers
and asked:

- What are you doing here?

The worker looked at him sharply and replied:
- Perhaps you are blind not to see what we do?
There, crushing stone as slaves for a pittance
and without the slightest recognition. You see the same poster.
There put the names of engineers, architects,
but we put ours we work
Hard work and leave the skin on.

The visitor then approached another worker
and asked the same.

- Here, as you can see, breaking stones to raise
This huge building. The work is hard and poorly paid,
But times are tough, not much work and something
must be done to bring the food to the children.

He approached the visitor to a third worker and again
asked what he was doing.
The man replied with enthusiasm:

- We are raising a Hospital, the most beautiful in the world.
Future generations will look up impressed
and hear the constant in and out of ambulances,
announcing God's help for men.
I do not see it done, but I want to be part
of this extraordinary adventure.

The same job, the same pay, the same lack
recognition, the same reality.

Three different ways to live: as slavery;
as resignation, as passion, adventure and challenge.

You think the world is a hell and will be.
Think that this world is part of Paradise and will be.

Living with hope, turning work into a party,
feel part of the good works ... It depends on you.

If you do what you love and get paid up,
What else would you ask of life?

Live your dream job and thank God,
not all are fortunate to have you.

Salmos...

Partículas de Salmos

El sol, figura de Dios. 

Allí le puso tienda al sol, que sale como un esposo de su tálamo, y se lanza alegremente cual gigante a recorrer su carrera. Parte desde un extremo del cielo, y su giro va hasta el otro extremo; nada puede sustraerse a su calor. (Salmo 18, 6-7). 

Comentario: 

Así como el sol con su luz inunda toda la tierra, y sus rayos benéficos caen sobre todos los cuerpos, limpios y sucios, blancos u oscuros; también Dios con su bondad, emana sus beneficios sobre todos los hombres, pero unos saben aprovecharlos, y otros, en cambio, los utilizan para el mal.

¿Se puede decir que Dios es el culpable de que las criaturas usen mal los dones que Él da? No. Cada uno es responsable de lo que hace. Y si bien unos, por ejemplo, utilizan la buena salud para hacer el bien, otros la usan para pecar y hacer el mal.

Cuando uno mira lo imponente que es un amanecer, no tiene más que alabar al Creador de semejante espectáculo, y elevar la mente y el espíritu a Él, que con la grandiosidad de su obra nos muestra un poco de su belleza infinita.

Al sol no se lo puede mirar directamente sin quedar cegado, por eso el Señor nos dice que sólo en el Cielo podremos mirar a Dios cara a cara, sosteniendo su mirada, porque seremos semejantes a Él, seremos como soles en su Cielo, y le veremos tal cual es.

¡Bendito sea Dios!

 St. Luke the EvangelistCentury IThanks Lucas for your beautiful gospel and your book of Acts ofthe Apostles. We often read such beautiful writings.Be merciful as your heavenly Fatheris merciful (Luke 6:36).Lucas means "bright light" (from the Latin "looks" = light).Luke wrote two books very famous: the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. It is a very nice writer, and the one with the most beautiful style in the New Testament. His two little books are read with real pleasure.He was a doctor. St. Paul calls "Luke, the beloved physician," and probably took care of the failing health of the great apostle.Was traveling companion of St. Paul. In the Acts of the Apostles, to narrate the great journeys of the Apostle speaks in the plural, saying "we went to ... navigate to ..." And narrates in detail the events so stunning that happened to St. Paul in his four famous voyages. Luke accompanied St. Paul when he was imprisoned, first two years in Caesarea and then two in Rome. It is the only New Testament writer who is not Israeli. It was Greek.The poet Dante San Lucas gave this name, "which describes the kindness of Christ." And rightly Cardinal Mercier when a student said, "Please advise what is the best book ever written about Jesus Christ," he said, "The best book ever written about Jesus Christ is called: The Gospel San Lucas ". One author called this writing: "The world's most charming book."As a doctor was very understanding. They say a theoretical office, go to the people better than they are. A sociologist sees them worse than they really are. But the doctor sees each one as it is. San Lucas saw people as they are (half and half weakness goodwill) and loved and understood.In his gospel shows great esteem for women. All women who are friendly and there are always Jesus shows great appreciation and true understanding.His gospel is the easiest to read of all four. Is 1,200 lines written in good literary style. He has been called "the gospel of the poor" because there always preferring Jesus appears small, the sick, the poor and repentant sinners. It is a Jesus who runs to meet those for whom life is harder and distressing.It has also been called "the gospel of prayer" because it presents Jesus praying in all the great moments of his life and continually insisting on the need to pray always and not get tired of praying.Another name you have given to your letter is the "gospel of sinners" because Jesus has always infinitely sympathetic to those who have been victims of human passions. Luke wants to insist that God's love has no limits or rejects who wants to repent and change their lives. So sinners read with much pleasure and comfort the gospel of Luke. It was written for them.His gospel is narrating the events of Jesus' childhood, and he has inspired the most famous painters to depict scenes in images so kind.They say he died unmarried, at the age of 84, after having spent his life in doing know and love our Lord Jesus Christ.
