Bartolomé. Rezada en español, con exposición del
Santísimo Sacramento. Informes con María Lelia Orozco:

VIGESIMO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
14 DE AGOSTO DE 2016
Cristo está de nuestra parte. No tengamos miedo. Abramos
las puertas a las exigencias del Evangelio de Jesús en la
Iglesia. Jesús quiere prendernos con su fuego. Es el fuego
de su Espíritu. Que el fuego del Espíritu de Cristo prenda
en nuestros corazones y encienda en nosotros la llama de
su amor. Jesús quiere bañarnos en su sangre derramada
hasta la última gota. Y su sangre nos lava, perdona y
purifica en el Sacramento del Bautismo. Vivamos nuestra
fe coherentemente. Sabemos que comporta división y
persecución porque el mundo no acepta los criterios de
Cristo y su Evangelio. Pero seamos valientes: Cristo ha
muerto por nosotros en la cruz y nos ofrece su gracia, la
cual nos ayuda a encontrar el verdadero camino a seguir
para alcanzar la felicidad eterna mas allá de los bienes
terrenales.

15 DE AGOSTO: LA ASUNCION DE LA SANTISIMA VIRGEN
La Asunción de María al Cielo en cuerpo y alma, quiere
decir que Ella ha participado de los frutos de la muerte,
resurrección y ascensión de Cristo, anticipada y
totalmente, en cuerpo y alma. Por eso, es primicia de los
redimidos. María, en atención a los méritos de Cristo su
Hijo, es redimida de modo excepcional y privilegiado. Por
eso, es concebida sin mancha de pecado original, siempre
virgen, llena de gracia... Es lógico que Cristo, su Hijo, la
lleve al cielo. Por eso, cumplido el curso de su vida
terrestre, fue asunta en cuerpo y alma a la gloria
celestial. Celebramos a María porque es primicia de los
redimidos.
