The Family: The Sanctuary of Life. The family is the
“Sanctuary of Life” and the basic and vital cell of society. The
Holy Family, of course, is unique. One member is God, another is sinless, and the third is a saint. But the great lesson of

Gracias Padre David!
Vamos todos Agradecer al Padre. David por
estar aquí con nosotros todos estos años en la
iglesia Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. Ha sido un gran sacerdote y
un buen amigo para todos. Adiós y que el Señor lo bendiga en
sus nuevas misiones parroquiales.
“No one who sets a hand to the plow, and looks to what was left
behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.” Jesus was fond of using
agricultural terms and images when teaching His Apostles and
His followers, and this quote, which comes at the end of our Gospel Reading from Luke today, is an excellent example of that.
In fact, you almost have to have had experience with farming and
plowing to understand what it means. It is important for the
health and sustenance of crops that the furrows made by a plow,
and in which the seeds will be planted, are straight. Whether
plowing in Jesus’ time either by hand or with a plow pulled by
oxen, in order to plow straight rows, someone had to focus on
where he was going, not on where he had been. It has not
changed with our modern farm equipment today.
In other words, the secret is to look forward, and to assure that
you are going in a straight line. Looking back invariably made
the person plowing
lose focus. That is
Jesus’ point to us.
As good stewards
we must keep our
focus on Him, on
following Him,
and on being His
disciple. That allows us to move
toward our goal of
holiness and of being the kind of disciple He wants us to be.

The Complete Bible Catholic Bibles contain seven more Old
Testament (46) books than Protestant Bibles (39). Catholics refer
to these seven books as the “deuterocanon” (second canon),
while Protestants refer to them as “apocrypha,” a term used pejoratively to describe non-canonical books. Protestants also have
shorter versions of Daniel and Esther. Why are there differences?
Catholic Bibles contain all the books that have been traditionally
accepted by Christians since Jesus’ time. Protestant Bibles contain all those books, except those rejected by the Protestant Reformers in the 1500’s. The chief reason Protestants rejected these
biblical books was because they did not support Protestant doctrines, for example, 2 Maccabees (12:44) supports prayer for the
dead. Sirach, supports the Doctrine of free will (15:11-20), and
Tobit demonstrates the efficacy of good works (4:10) The term
“canon” means rule or guideline, and in this context means
“which books belong in the Bible (and, by implication, which do
not).”© Evangelization Station, 2010

Los MISIONEROS DE LA PALABRA van venir a la parroquia este domingo. En el mundo actual existe una actitud anticatólica manifiesta, de modo que quien desee manifestarse abiertamente como católico, recibirá constantemente críticas y
oposiciones, que pueden llegar a verdaderas persecuciones. Por
todo ello, es preciso que los católicos convencidos se pongan de
pie, propaguen su fe, especialmente con su vida, y den testimonio
ante el mundo actual de que vale la pena ser católicos. Ser católico es tener la seguridad de estar en la verdad, que Dios mismo
nos enseñó por medio de Jesucristo. La verdad, que en el amor a
Dios y al prójimo, da sentido a nuestra vida y nos llena de alegría
y felicidad. Pero también supone ser signo de contradicción y
recibir ataques de aquellos que hablan mucho de tolerancia, pero
no toleran la fe católica. Ser católicos de verdad en un mundo
anticatólico es difícil, porque supone luchar contra una mayoría
que, por maldad o por ignorancia, atacan nuestra Iglesia y nuestra
fe
La Familia: El santuario de la vida
La familia es el "santuario de la vida" y la célula básica y vital de
la sociedad . La Sagrada Familia , por supuesto, es única. Uno de
los miembros es Dios, otra es sin pecado concebida, y el tercero
es un santo . Pero la gran lección de hoy es que, aunque Dios
pudo haber venido al mundo de cualquier forma que quisiera, él
optó por convertirse en miembro de una familia, obediente a sus
padres terrenales, y sin embargo, totalmente dedicado a la voluntad del Padre celestial, como todos deben ser. También compartió
la vulnerabilidad que involucra ser miembro de una familia humana. "Herodes va a buscar al niño para matarlo." San José juega
aquí el papel increíble de la protección de Dios. Su disposición a
hacerlo habla a cada padre sobre el papel de protector, y a toda
nuestra sociedad acerca de la necesidad que tenemos de padres
buenos y fieles. La cultura de la vida depende tanto de los padres
que toman las decisiones correctas como de las madres que lo
hacen. Las familias de gran fortaleza
son un aspecto integral de la cultura
de la vida. Es precisamente la ruptura
de la estructura familiar lo que aumenta la tentación de abortar, o la de
recurrir a la eutanasia o la de la falta
de atención adecuada a las personas
mayores.
