NOVENA A LA VIRGEN DE LA MEDALLA MILAGROSA
Un camino hacia Dios de la mano de María. Los segundos
martes de cada mes a las 7:30PM en la Iglesia de San
Bartolomé. Rezada en español, con exposición del
Santísimo Sacramento. Informes con María Lelia Orozco:
301-469-0103.
VIGESIMO SEXTO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
25 DE SETIEMBRE 2016
La parábola de un hombre rico y la de un mendigo
llamado Lázaro nos enseña las consecuencias del
comportamiento del hombre alejado de Dios y la del
hombre creyente. El hombre rico vive alejado de Dios,
disolutamente, usando abusivamente de su riqueza. Es
soberbio,
injusto,
egoísta
y
avaro.
Usa
desordenadamente los bienes materiales. Lázaro es un
enfermo y un mendigo que pide limosna a las puertas de
la casa del rico sin que nadie le atienda. Es un hombre
que sufre y carece de lo necesario para vivir. Pero es un
hombre religioso que cree y espera en Dios. Compartir
los bienes es un deber que nace de nuestra condición de
hijos de Dios. Tenemos la obligación de trabajar por una
economía y sociedad más justa, de esto depende nuestra
fidelidad al Evangelio y nuestra salvación.
