Page 5 Saint John the Evangelist Agosto 31, 2014 EL SACERDOCIO El lenguaje de Jeremías al dirigir sus anhelos al Señor diciéndole: “Me has seducido, Señor, y me dejé seducir por ti” (Jeremías 20:7), indica una relación muy íntima. Es una que el profeta obviamente valora a pesar de los reproches y burlas que le trae. En el Evangelio, Jesús indica un lazo similar con su Padre. A pesar del difícil reto de seguir la voluntad de Dios, Jesús no se detiene. Dejar atrás los cuidados del mundo y los sueños, aunque sea para aceptar el dolor y el sufrimiento, es más que un intercambio justo para hacer la voluntad de Dios. La única manera de hacer la voluntad de Dios es ofrecer todo nuestro ser a Dios. Como san Pablo escribe en la carta a los romanos: “No sigan la corriente del mundo en que vivimos, más bien transfórmense por la renovación de su mente. (Romanos 12:2a). SEGUIMOS INSCRIBIENDO A NIÑOS DE 5 AÑOS DE EDAD Y A JOVENES DE 12 A 15 AÑOS DE EDAD PARA LAS CLASES DE BIBLIA Y CATECISMO FAMILIAR Estas clases darán principio el Viernes 5, de Septiembre a las 6:00 pm. Este año iniciaremos las clases con una Misa. Por favor todos, papas y niños, pasen a la iglesia. Ese día, después de Misa nos iremos a los salones de la escuela. Los Domingos, después de Misa y también entre semana, pueden inscribir a sus hijos. Para más información llamen al 760-436-4366. Más del 40% de la población católica en Estados Unidos es de origen hispano y sólo el 6% de los sacerdotes son hispanos. Hay algo que está mal en las cifras. Parte del problema es que en los seminarios estadounidenses no saben qué hacer con las vocaciones y culturas hispanas. Por otra parte, los hispanos deseamos que nuestros hijos tengan mejor vida y la vocación sacerdotal no constituye un lugar privilegiado en la escala social. Ciertamente, había un tiempo en que los sacerdotes se trataban con mucho respeto, ya no. Últimamente la escasez de sacerdotes y los escándalos en la Iglesia han hecho que el sacerdocio pierda mucho de su encanto. La vida sacerdotal se ha hecho muy difícil. Hoy día el joven que busca el sacerdocio lo busca por servicio y vocación, no por prestigio o posición social. El sacerdocio es un apostolado que se recibe con el sacramento del Orden. Ser ordenado es recibir órdenes, es decir, ser obediente. Hoy más que nunca, el sacerdote está llamado a la misma obediencia de Jesucristo, obediencia que lo llevó a la cruz y a la resurrección. Oremos por nuestro Papa, Obispos, y Sacerdotes para que su entrega sea total. PRIMER DIA DE CLASES DE CATECISMO PARA TODA LA FAMILIA Todos son bienvenidos! Empezaremos el viernes 5 de septiembre, a las 6:00 pm. en la iglesia. Todavía pueden inscribir a sus hijos! RASGOS DE UN CATEQUISTA Todos los que se dedican a enseñar deben estar dotados de profundo amor, de la máxima paciencia y sobretodo, de profunda humildad. El Señor los hallará dignos de ser sus colaboradores en la causa de la verdad y la Buena Nueva.
