LAS EXIGENCIAS DE SER DISCÍPULO

Hoy ya encontramos lecturas con el tono penitencia de Cuaresma. Nínive ayuna durante cuarenta días, el salmista nos recuerda que sólo Dios puede indicarles el camino a los pecadores, san Pablo nos muestra que todas las cosas y los acontecimientos de este mundo son transitorios y Jesús nos dice: “Arrepiéntanse” antes de llamar a sus nuevos seguidores. “Síganme”, dice Jesús, pero si realmente vivimos los mandamientos y las exigencias de ser discípulos por el Bautismo, nos daremos cuenta de nuestra necesidad de conversión, de nuestro arrepentimiento, nuestra necesidad de creer plenamente en el Evangelio. El Evangelio de hoy comienza recordándonos lo que le sucedió a Juan Bautista por vivir plenamente su vocación como heraldo de Cristo y del Evangelio: fue arrestado, encarcelado y martirizado. Si bien pocos de nosotros sufriremos consecuencias tan extremas, todos debemos estar preparados para enfrentar algún tipo de rechazo por hacerle caso al llamado de Jesús, vivir el Reino de Dios que está próximo, arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y creer en la buena nueva de salvación. –Copyright © J.

DEBEMOS UNIR NUESTRA "CASA" DIVIDIDA

Nuestros Papas y obispos han dejado muy claro que el aborto es "intrínsecamente malvado" y el "asunto preeminente" para los católicos.

Esto significa que los católicos deben asignar máxima prioridad absoluta para oponerse a este mal: ".... la obligación de oponerse a actos intrínsecamente malos, tiene derecho especial en nuestras conciencias y nuestra acción" (Cardenal Justin Regali).

Esto trae a la mente Santiago 2:20: "... hombre vano, que la fe sin obras es muerta?" La fe católica no es un club social; Por lo tanto, tenemos que aceptar todas sus enseñanzas o ser cómplices en romper las reglas de Dios. ¿No se supone que somos "una, santa, católica y apostólica"?

Esto es América 2018, cuando tenemos muchos políticos católicos que ven y promueven la matanza de niños como "atención médica".

Esto es simplemente imperdonable! Nosotros, como católicos fieles tenemos el deber de sustituir a estos llamados líderes que son cómplices en el mantenimiento de nuestra "cultura de la muerte."

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE

SERVICE COMMITTEE

The Senior Luncheon is on

Friday, January 26th at 12:00 Noon at El Charro.

Hope you can join us!!!!

WE MUST UNITE OUR “HOUSE” DIVIDED

Our Popes and Bishops have made it abundantly clear that abortion is intrinsically evil" and the "preeminent issue" for Catholics.

This means that Catholics must assign absolute top priority to oppose this evil: "....the obligation to oppose intrinsically evil acts has special claim on our consciences and our action" (Cardinal Justin Regali).

This brings to mind James 2:20: “... O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” The Catholic faith is not a social club; therefore we must accept all of her teachings or be complicit in breaking God’s rules. Aren’t we supposed to be “one holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church”?

This is America 2018 when we have many Catholic politicians who see and promote child-killing as "health care."

This is simply inexcusable! We, as faithful Catholics have a duty to replace these so-called leaders who are complicit in maintaining our “culture of death."
