WELCOME THE VISITING MADONNA
While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next
best thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the
Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please
help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything. But
the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do
wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer
devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that
every family may experience visitation for one week from
our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a
sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family
with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If you
are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna,
please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email him at
[email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Joe & JoAnne Morrone at the 12:00 Noon Mass.
EVANGELIZATION
R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults
The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual
conversion and growth, over time, in one’s
relationship with God and the Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into
the Catholic Church. If you’re interested in exploring a
relationship with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic
Church; becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into
the Catholic Church through the celebration of the
Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process,
please contact Deacon Bob at the Church Office.

VIGESIMO OCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
JESUS CURA A UN CIEGO LLAMADO BARTIMEO
(Evangelio de San Marcos 10, 46-52)
Queridos Hermanos:
En la época de Jesús y quizá actualmente todavía, la ceguera es relativamente
frecuente en el Medio Oriente. El desierto, el polvo, la falta de hygiene y el
extraordinario resplandor de la luz solar, son causa de la inflamación de los ojos,
que en en algunos casos ocasiona la ceguera. Jesucristo conoció a muchos
ciegos. Ellos eran un reflejo de miseria, desamparo y desesperanza. La mayoría de
ellos no tenían otra salida que la de ser mendigos.
Pero este milagro que hizo Jesucristo de curar al ciego Bartimeo, no solamente se trata de un milagro, o de una obra de caridad. La
curación de Bartimeo, es una fuerte crítica de Jesús contra sus discípulos y denuncia su incomprensión y torpeza, ellos se han
opuesto sistemáticamente a Jesús, cuando El les ha hablado de dar la vida, de compartir, de ser los últimos, de ser como niños, de
"sacarse los ojos" si son ocasión de pecado, de ser fieles en el Matrimonio, de ser servidores, etc.
Este milagro, es toda una catequesis, que nos invita a un cambio interior y a la conversion. A Bartimeo le falta la luz y la
orientación, está sentado porque teme tropezar si camina, está al borde del camino, es decir, no hay una trayectoria definida en su
vida, él es un mendigo, es decir, su vida depende de los demás. Pero dentro de este "ciego" hay una fe profunda que lo hace
reaccionar para ponerlo de nuevo en el verdadero camino, aunque no puede ver, escucha perfectamente que Jesús está pasando por
allí, y por eso empieza a gritar para pedirle ayuda.
La curación de Bartimeo, expresa el paso del alejamiento (está al borde del camino), a la proximidad (se acercó a Jesús); de la
pasividad (estaba sentado), a la acción (lo siguió por el camino); de la marginación (muchos lo regañaban), a la liberación (recobró la
vista).
Este Evangelio maravilloso, es el itinerario de un convertido a Jesús, que desea formar parte de la comunidad cristiana: Reconoce su
situación, ora con humildad, invoca a Dios a pesar de las dificultades, se deja interrogar, abre los ojos a la luz de la fe, y se
compromete en seguir a Jesús. Bartimeo no creyó por haber sido curado, sino que fue curado por haber creído. Por su fe, Jesús lo
curó.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a dejar aquel "manto" de pecados que nos esclaviza y demos un salto, para
acercarnos más a Jesús y contemplarlo especialmente con los ojos de la fe.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
