Evangelio del día 

Mt 13, 16-17. 

Santos Joaquín y Ana, padres de la Virgen María. 

Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Felices los ojos de ustedes, porque ven; felices sus oídos, porque oyen. Les aseguro que muchos profetas y justos desearon ver lo que ustedes ven y no lo vieron; oír lo que ustedes oyen y no lo oyeron”. 

Reflexión: 

Hoy se hace memoria de San Joaquín y Santa Ana, padres de la Virgen María y abuelos de Jesús. Y el texto del Evangelio providencialmente parece que hablara de ellos, ya que dice Jesús que “muchos profetas y justos desearon ver lo que ustedes ven, y no lo vieron; oír lo que ustedes oyen, y no lo oyeron”. Y se puede decir de Joaquín y Ana que eran esos justos que deseaban ver el día del Señor, pero no lo vieron, porque murieron cuando la Virgen, su hija, todavía estaba en el Templo. Y felices somos nosotros que sí “vemos y escuchamos” al Señor. Si bien no lo vemos con los ojos físicos, sí lo vemos con los ojos de la fe en la Eucaristía y podemos escuchar su Palabra en su Evangelio. Así que aprovechemos que vivimos en este tiempo en que Dios se ha manifestado y está con nosotros, y practiquemos sus enseñanzas en la vida ordinaria.

Pidamos a la Santísima Virgen la gracia de saber valorar la gran riqueza de la Palabra de Dios y de la Eucaristía que son nuestros alimentos que nos conducen al Cielo.

Jesús, María, os amo, salvad las almas.

Teachings of the Gospel

No worries.



Do not walk, then worried, saying, What shall we eat?, What shall we drink?, How we dress? That all these things the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knows that they need all that. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given in addition. (Mt 6: 31-33).

Education:

The Lord wants us to live without worrying about material things, because God knows that while living in this mortal body, men have need of sustenance, clothing, etc., But He tells us to work for the Kingdom of God in us and extend to the souls and the world, that He promises to give us everything you need and still to spare.

Many times we are lacking in this trust in Divine Providence, and strive to obtain material goods, and much more so in these times when the world is facing an economic crisis, which is largely the result of moral and spiritual crisis humanity.

But it is precisely at this point that we should trust more in God, in His loving Providence. Because it is very easy to trust when things go well, how difficult, and therefore more worthwhile, is to trust God when the water comes to the neck and did not see the horizon.

In this as in all the virtues, we must take the example of the Blessed Virgin, who trusted God in spite of everything, against everything and everyone waited to the end and beyond, and had such great confidence in God that the Lord gave absolutely everything. And is that God wants to give way too much, but we go to God with a very small container, and he can not fill the container with all you have for us. The container, as well what Jesus said to St. Faustina Kowalska, is our trust. If we go to God with little confidence, he can give us very little. Then we go to God with confidence, because God is much easier to give a little, and He will do miracles when necessary, and much else will if you ask his Mother, who was not denied anything . Let's go to Mary and ask fearlessly, boldly, even ask what until now we did not dare to ask, and see the power and goodness of God and the Virgin.

Start fields...

Let a star field

Where, when people come,
can comprehend and understand
in the roof of our life there is someone.

Let a star field.
In that light of faith,
illuminate every room of our house.
In which the brightness of faith,
radiate hope to the basement where we are lost.

Let a star field.
In which Christ, announced by James,
is the supreme reason for our journey.
In which Christ, witnessed by James,
is the reason for our efforts.
In which Christ, proclaimed by James,
call is not falter in our efforts.

Let a star field
Where the resurrection respond to the dark night.
Where the Word of God for listening,
announce the glare and the initiation of a new day.
Where the testimony of St. James,
Thrust is the force and evangelical zeal.

Let a star field
That is the beginning not the end of a road.
Way forward, rather than failure.
Road to glory, but not the world.
Way to heaven, not just land.
Way of eternity, not just humanity.
Camino de Santiago, not just history.
Journey of faith, not only of culture.
Way of prayer, not just stones.
Way of resurrection, not only of death.
Way of Word, not just human.
Way of knowledge, not only for enjoyment.
Way of Perfection, not mediocrity.
Let us, with St. James,
fed a star field
by the star of faith which is Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Holy Spirit...

Fifteen minutes with the Holy Spirit

Do we know everything?
Holy Spirit, did I know all of you, God, of divine mysteries? Because sometimes it seems like I know everything and I have nothing more to discover. But I realize that You are inexhaustible and your treasures beyond any imagination.
Help me, Divine Spirit, to be wiser and realize that there are many lessons that I still receive from you, for your wisdom is infinite, and as I advance in the way of holiness, You want me to go revealing your divine secrets .
Life-giving Spirit, give life to me, I'm like dying every day because I do not life lessons and inspirations I get from you. Teach me to be obedient to your inspirations, because I know that my sanctification, and even my salvation, depend heavily on the docility have your motions.
You want to surprise me, Spirit of love, for your knowledge and treasures are inexhaustible, and no danger that I exhausted, but always have something new to teach me and teach me more and more, for me, to my turn, teach and transmit to my brothers, who both need the wisdom, not to perish in the way of life.
I love you with all my heart Holy Spirit, the sweetness of my soul, my life and comfort food of my mind and my spirit!

Difficult...

Difficult but ... ahead!

Proclaiming, loud and clear,
the Lord is the center of our history,
that without Him, all raves and is destined to fail.
Advertising, word and deed,
the Lord is the source of our energy,
is not what happened yesterday,
it is not an idol with a simple tunic and staff.
That the Lord is more than legend.

Difficult but ... Forward!
Teaching that a heaven awaits us.
Recalling that, in God, we are brothers.
Screaming that forgiveness can only hate.
Working for the land,
is a picture of what awaits us in eternity.

Difficult but ... ahead!
Aware of our sins and miseries.
Becoming roads and wrong attitudes.
Returning to the dispersion and confusion.
Praying that, what we say and act,
Divine inspiration is not just human.

Difficult but ... ahead!
That Jesus goes before us along the way,
when the wind pushes us in the world will stop,
encourages us when our feet are slow,
up when we fall off our faces,
forgives our sins weigh us down.
That Jesus wants us flesh.
That Jesus is aware of our mud.
That Jesus knows we are not gods.
That Jesus, trust our weak hands.

Difficult but ... ahead!
Always on!
In our task of being Christians.
In our desire to proclaim the sky.
In our efforts to make Christ known.
In our dilemmas and anxieties.
Always, always, go ahead!

P. Javier Leoz

Reflection...

Kill the error, erring love

Four crazy days.
The popular song says, "For four days we will live crazy. For four days you have to have fun you crazy. "
Is there a song more mundane than this? Because it is impregnated with the spirit world, telling us that we go well in this world because this world is all there.
Instead Christ has told us that we must resign ourselves and follow the way of the cross, of self-sacrifice of ourselves. So who loves the world also can not love God.
Who wants to enjoy this world and accept its top, you will lose eternal life, since he says the Lord who loves his life in this world will lose it, and whoever loses his life here, the gain for eternity. They are not just words, but it is the truth that tells us the very Word of God.
How do we live? It's time to take stock of how we are living lately. Because with technological advances and conveniences that everywhere we offer makes us forget this truth, that only save those who enter through the narrow gate and walk the narrow way, as others will be grass infernal abyss .
How different is what we are told the media, especially television, in ad campaigns and programs, is not it?
Open our eyes because the devil is an angel of light and would have us believe that everything is the same, and that you can walk with one foot on the right track and with the other foot in the wrong way.
You can not compromise with God and the devil because they are irreconcilable, as irreconcilable are the sons of God with the children of darkness.
