The Letter to the
Colossians
October 16:
Gifts of IRA’s: IRAs are not the best asset to leave your children due to the amount of
taxes they might have to pay. A better option is to name the parish endowment fund as a
beneficiary on your IRA. Also if you are over 70 ½ you can make a direct transfer from
your IRA to the parish endowment fund and this would not be taxed or counted in any
way as taxable income. For more information, contact Juliet Greco at
The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia: 404-497-9440 or [email protected]

Reflexiones para la Homilía
En esta sociedad, la estabilidad en todo parece algo poco común. Falta la paciencia de esperar a que las cosas maduren o de lidiar con la frustración. En cuanto algo no gusta o molesta un poco, se trata de evitar. Cuando algo resulta un poco difícil, se abandona. Así puede pasar también
con la oración, si no se ve una respuesta como y cuando la esperamos
Hoy se nos exhorta a la paciencia. No porque la insistencia “obligue” a Dios a hacer lo que queremos, sino porque es la paciencia,
precisamente, la que nos forma como discípulos y seguidores de Cristo. Es la perseverancia en la fe la que puede abrir caminos a la salvación del
mundo. No es fácil. Moisés se cansaba y alguien tenia que sostenerle los brazos y probablemente nosotros también necesitemos esa ayuda de la
comunidad y esos recuerdos de las personas que tenemos cerca, de que no debemos abandonar las empresas que comenzamos, ni los compromisos que adquirimos ante las dificultades, los obstáculos o las frustraciones.
No dependemos de nosotros mismos ni nuestras decisiones tienen consecuencias para nosotros mismos solamente, sino para muchos otros. Solo hay que pensar un poco en como afectan nuestras decisiones diarias a los demás; por ejemplo, si abandonamos un trabajo
porque no nos gusta el jefe, nos encontraremos con dificultades para apoyar a nuestra familia; si abandonamos una relación por aburrimiento,
nos encontraremos con muchas heridas y con el sentimiento de fracaso y el sufrimiento de niños, familiares y amigos; si abandonamos los estudios, las consecuencias para el futuro propio y de nuestra familia pueden ser una cadena de problemas; y así podríamos seguir. No es que Dios
vaya a cambiar de idea porque oremos. Los que cambiamos somos nosotros cuando perseveramos, cuando la paciencia produce fortaleza en
nosotros y la fortaleza nos da confianza y la confianza nos asegura la gracia y la presencia de Dios con nosotros.

Regalos de Cuentas Individuales de retiro (IRA):
Cuentas Individuales de Retiro no son las mejores
herencias para dejarles a sus hijos por los descuentos
de impuestos que ellos tuvieran que pagar como
resultado. Una mejor opción es nombrar beneficiario
de su Cuenta de Ahorro Individual (IRA) a su fondo de
donaciones de su Parroquia, Si Ud. tiene 70 1/2 años de
edad, puede hacer una transferencia directa de su
Cuenta Individual de Ahorro (IRA) a su Fondo de
Donaciones de su Parroquia y esta cantidad no sería
sujeta a ningún impuesto, ni considerado
como ingreso tributable. Ud. puede leer
más sobre los diferentes tipos de regalos
planeados en la red de la Fundación del
Norte de Georgia llamando a Juliet Greco
al 404-497-9440
o a través de la red [email protected].
