HaveYouEverMetaSaint?I feel like I have and you will have the opportunity to meet him also on Friday night, November 9 at 7 PM in La Salette Hall. John Drake was an executive with a Fortune 500 company in 2002 working on a project in Toledo City in the Philippines. John was called to help the children there and what he has accomplished is truly a miracle. John saw abandoned children with no hope, no future, and no place to go. “I would wake up in the night crying” he said. He decided to do what he could and his work has been featured on CNN, he has been on the cover of Faith magazine, he has been recognized by the President of the Philippines, and the Lingap Center has been a top rated non-pro it every year since 2012. He will share both heartbreaks and successes and share his incredible story with us. You will not want to miss this opportunity to see God work thru one individual who answered his call and you will see that miracles happen and saints still walk the Earth.

MEDITACIÓNEVANGÉLICO-ALENTARENTENDIMIENTOMÁSPROFUNDODELAESCRITURA4denoviembrede201831erDomingodelTiempoOrdinarioImagina la escena del Evangelio de este domingo. El maestro de la ley estaba observando atentamente las ensenanzas de Jesus. Escuchaba como Jesus daba respuestas acertadas y esto le causa admiracion y se atreve a preguntar: ¿Que mandamiento es el primero de todos? La respuesta dada abarca no solo una respuesta sino dos: amar a Dios y al vecino. "Escucha, Israel: El Senor nuestro dios es el unico Senor. Amaras al Senor tu Dios con todo tu corazon, con toda tu alma, con toda tu inteligencia y con todas tus fuerzas." Luego, anade lo siguiente. "Amaras a tu projimo como a ti mismo" (Marcos 12:29-31). Ya desde los tiempos de Moises, el pueblo de Israel vivıa en comunidad, cuidandose uno al otro. Jesus enfoca dos cosas importantes, tanto en su tiempo como ahora. Amar a Dios primero y al vecino como a uno mismo. ¡Que difıcil es esto! Dios ante todo lo que tengo y soy. ¿Como despojarme de lo que esta lleno mi corazon? Nuestro 'vecino' no es solo la persona que vive a su lado. Dar la escusa que uno no conoce a su 'vecino' es inaceptable. Projimo, quiere decir proximo. Su projimo es su esposo/a, sus hijos, su comunidad. De initivamente, la ensenanza de la Palabra de Dios no es un juego de ninos. Es un proceso de crecimiento en el amor para toda la vida. Gastarse en darse, eso es amor. El Papa Francisco, nos ayuda en comprender esto: "He aquı el camino del Senor: adorar a Dios, amar a Dios por encima de todo, y amar al projimo. Es muy sencillo, pero muy difıcil. Se puede hacer solo con la gracia. Pidamos la gracia" (Homilıa 15 de octubre de 2013).
