The Gospel recounts the story of the sending of the twelve. In the second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we, too, are chosen. For what have I been chosen? To whom have I been sent? Las lecturas de hoy son acerca de ser elegido. El profeta Amós fue elegido por el Señor y enviado para que usara sus talentos para el pueblo de Dios.

Oración Querida Santa Madre, María Santísima, deshacer los nudos que sofocan a sus hijos, extienda sus manos misericordiosas para mí. Me encomiendo a Ti hoy este nudo y todas las consecuencias negativas que provoca en mi vida. Te doy este nudo que me atormenta y me hace infeliz y por lo que me impide unirme a usted y su hijo Jesús, mi Salvador. Corro a Ti, María, Desatadora de Nudos porque confío en usted y sé que Nunca desprecias un niño pecador que viene a pedirte ayuda. Creo que se puede deshacer este nudo porque Jesús le concede todo. Creo que usted desea deshacer este nudo, porque tú eres mi madre. Yo creo que usted va a hacer esto porque me amas con

amor eterno. Gracias, Madre querida. María, Desatadora de nudos, ruega por mí. Amén.

Prayer Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, You undo the knots that suffocate your children, extend Your merciful hands to me. I entrust to You today this knot and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life. I give You this knot that torments me and makes me unhappy and so impedes me from uniting myself to You and Your Son Jesus, my Savior. I run to You, Mary, Undoer of Knots because I trust You and I know that You never despise a sinning child who comes to ask you for help. I believe that You can undo this knot because Jesus grants You everything. I believe that You want to undo this knot because you are my Mother. I believe that You will do this because you love me with eternal love. Thank you, Dear Mother. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Amen.

Reflection of Sacred Scripture: The First Reading from Amos and the Gospel according to Mark tell stories of God sending out proph-ets. The Second Reading talks of how God chose us and expects great things from us. Amos was a reluctant prophet and, although he felt that he was not qualified for the job, God knew bet-ter. In the Gospel, Jesus tells his apostles to go preach the Gospel in groups of two and if no one listens, leave and go someplace else. God is not concerned with our oratory skills. He wants us to know Jesus in our heart and share the love and compassion of the Son of God with everyone we meet. We ought not force our faith on anyone and need to “agree to disagree” on differing issues. We are always called to respect a person but may not agree with what they say. Saint Paul tells the Ephesians that God calls us to be “holy.” This holiness allows us to be guided by the Holy Spirit in order to truly live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God has chosen us and has a plan for each of us. God only asks that we place ourselves in his care. So we ask ourselves: • Do we use our God given gifts and talents to

be the best person we can be and spread the Gospel of

Jesus Christ by our words and actions? • Do we pray to the Holy Spirit and use the

GIFTS and FRUITS of the Holy Spirit to create a better world?

Reflexión de la Sagrada Escritura: La primera lectura, tomada del profeta Amós y el Evan-gelio según Marcos contar historias de Dios enviando pro-fetas. La Segunda Lectura habla de cómo Dios nos ha escogi-do y espera grandes cosas de nosotros. Amós era un profeta renuente, y aunque sentía que él no está calificado para el trabajo, Dios sabía mejor. En el evangelio, Jesús dice a sus apóstoles predicaron el Evangelio en grupos de dos y si no se escucha, y van en algún otro lugar. Dios no está interesado en nuestras herramientas de oratoria. Él nos quiere conocer a Jesús en nuestro corazón y compartir el amor y la compasión del Hijo de Dios, con todos aquellos con quienes nos encontremos. No debemos forzar nuestra fe a nadie y necesidad de "estar de acuerdo" sobre diferentes te-mas. Siempre estamos llamados a respetar una persona, pero puede no estar de acuerdo con lo que dicen. Dice san Pablo los Efesios que Dios nos llama a ser "santos." Esta santidad nos permite ser guiados por el Es-píritu Santo para que podamos realmente vivir el Evangelio de Jesucristo. Dios nos ha elegido y tiene un plan para cada

uno de nosotros. Dios sólo nos pide que nos situemos en su cuidado. Así que nos preguntamos: • ¿hemos de utilizar nuestro Dios dado dones y talentos para ser la mejor persona que puede ser y difundir el Evangelio de Jesucristo con nuestras palabras y acciones? • No pidamos al Espíritu Santo y utilizar los dones y frutos del Espíritu Santo para crear un mundo mejor?
