Year of Mercy
Año de Misericordia
Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
This Jubilee Year of Mercy and Pope
Francis’ ministry have renewed our
understanding that the Church’s heart is open
wide to all, and the heart of the gospel is
God’s mercy. Flooded with God’s mercy, our
hearts should overflow as channels bringing
to wounded and weary hearts Jesus’ healing
mercy. For Jesus warns, our own salvation is
not guaranteed by the Liturgy of the Word
(“you taught in our streets”) nor by the
Eucharist (“we ate and drank in your
company”) (Luke 13:26). People far from that
banquet, “from the east and the west and
from the north and the south . . . will recline at
table in the kingdom of God” (13:29). Rather,
showing mercy is key to obtaining mercy
ourselves (Matthew 5:7). So we should never
dare ask what “someone” asked Jesus,
“Lord, will only a few people be
saved?” (Luke 13:23). The crucial question is
“Will I be saved?” And Jesus’ answer is
another question: “Have you shown mercy to
everyone, freely, gladly, no limits, no
conditions, no exceptions?”
—Peter Scagnelli,
Vigésimo Primer Domingo
Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia y el
ministerio del Papa Francisco vienen
renovando nuestro entendimiento de que el
corazón de la Iglesia está abierto para todas
las personas y, el corazón del Evangelio es la
misericordia de Dios. Inundados con la
misericordia de Dios, nuestros corazones
deben desbordarse como arroyos llevando a
las personas cansadas y heridas la
misericordia consoladora de Jesús. Ya que
Jesús señala que nuestra salvación no está
garantizada por la Liturgia de la Palabra (“tú
has enseñado en nuestras plazas”) ni por la
Eucaristía (“Hemos comido y bebido contigo”)
(Lucas 13:26). Habrá personas lejos de ese
banquete “del oriente y del poniente, del norte
y del sur . . . participarán en el banquete del
Reino de Dios” (13:29). Por el contrario,
mostrar misericordia es la clave para obtener
misericordia nosotros mismos (Mateo 5:7).
Para que nunca debamos atrevernos a
preguntar lo que “alguien” le preguntó a Jesús:
“Señor, ¿es verdad que son pocos los que se
salvan?” (Lucas 13:23). La pregunta debiera
ser: “¿Yo me salvaré?” Y la respuesta de Jesús
sería otra pregunta: “¿Has sido misericordioso
con tu prójimo, de manera libre, con alegría, sin
límites, sin condiciones, sin excepciones?”

Did You Know?
Pool safety is about more than swimming
Swimming is a fun way to have some fun and beat the
heat during the summer. Parents should teach their
children about swimming safety, including how to
identify and handle uncomfortable situations.
Although you may be watching closely to make sure
your kids are safe in the water, don’t forget about
when they’re walking around, sitting out by the pool,
using the restrooms or out of sight. Teach your
children what to do when they feel uncomfortable at
the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away
and find a parent or trusted adult at any time. For more
information and a copy of the article called “Know the
Rules…Summer Safety Tips to Teach Children” from
the National Center for Missing and Exploited, email:
[email protected] or call 213-637-7227.
TIME TO REGISTER FOR
Favor de pasar al salón parroquial después de la
Misa para disfrutar de un desayuno preparado
por los Guadalupanos.
¿Sabía Usted?
La natación es una manera divertida de combatir
el calor durante el verano.
Los padres deben enseñar a sus hijos sobre la
seguridad acuática, incluso cómo identificar
situaciones incómodas y cómo reaccionar en estos
casos. Aunque usted los está vigilando atentamente
para asegurar que los niños están a La seguridad en la
piscina implica más que saber nadar salvo en el agua,
no se olvide de poner atención cuando los niños
caminan o se sientan alrededor de la piscina, usan el
baño o cuando están fuera de la vista. Enseñe a sus
hijos qué hacer si se sienten incómodos en la piscina y
que al cualquier momento está bien huir y buscar un
adulto de confianza. Para más información y para

Center for Missing and Exploited Children, envíe un
