Bishop Vásquez’ Prayer Request For all people, that by responding in faith to the Gospel, they may be made whole and restored to a proper relationship with God and the Church … Por toda la gente, para que, respondiendo con fe en el Evangelio, puedan ser restaurados y llevados a una relación apropiada con Dios y la Iglesia... Catholic Social Teaching Corner October 9th, 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time — Healing was a special ministry of Jesus. Through healing, the sick were not only restored to health, but they were restored to community life – the community was healed as well. Who are the lepers of our society who are cast out and rejected? What healing do we need to welcome the immigrant; the poor; the prisoner coming out of jail? How are we called by our faith to challenge and heal our society by upholding the dignity of every person, especially those who are hated, marginalized or helpless? Octubre 8 y 9, Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario—El sanar fue un ministerio especial del Jesús. A través de la sanación, a los enfermos no sólo se les restauró la salud, sino que también se les reintegró a la vida de la comunidad - y la comunidad fue sanada también ¿Quiénes son los leprosos de nuestra sociedad que están alejados y rechazados? ¿Qué sanación necesitamos para dar la bienvenida al inmigrante; al pobre; al prisionero que está saliendo de la cárcel? ¿Cómo somos llamados por nuestra fe a cambiar y sanar a nuestra sociedad por medio de la defensa de la dignidad de cada persona, especialmente de aquellos que son odiados, marginalizados o indefensos?
