Yo no sé si el divorcio es siempre cosa de terquedad de los contrayentes; en la mayor parte de los casos supongo que influirán muchas causas. Pero de lo que sí estoy seguro es que para que un matrimonio cristiano siga viviéndose en cristiano durante toda la vida hace falta mucha terquedad cristiana, -mucho amor cristiano-. Si, según nos dicen las estadísticas, el número de divorcios en nuestra sociedad iguala prácticamente al número de matrimonios, tiene que ser por que el matrimonio para toda la vida es algo muy difícil en la sociedad en la que nosotros vivimos hoy. Pues bien, lo que a mí me interesa resaltar ahora es que sólo un amor cristiano puede garantizar la estabilidad de un matrimonio cristiano. Porque el amor cristiano –como Cristo ama a su Iglesia- va mucho más allá de los amores o desamores puramente físicos o psicológicos; el amor cristiano tiene, en su entraña más profunda, mucho de gratuidad, es un amor que es mucho más don que exigencia. Las dos caras del amor cristiano son el amor y el perdón, y para que haya auténtico amor cristiano tienen que estar vivas y practicantes estas dos caras. 3.- No está bien que el hombre esté solo; voy a hacerle alguien como él que le ayude. En este texto del libro del Génesis, en el que se dicen muchas cosas interesantes, se afirma con rotundidad algo que podemos comprobar todos los días y en todos los países del mundo: la atracción natural y poderosísima que existe entre el hombre y la mujer. La media naranja siempre busca a la otra media y en la historia de esta búsqueda está escrita la historia de gran parte de la humanidad. Sin entrar ahora en temas sociológicos, y políticos, que se relacionan, sin duda, con este hecho, de este texto se puede deducir indudablemente la necesaria hermandad y fraternidad que debe existir siempre entre hombre y mujer. Dios no nos ha hecho distintos para que nos peleemos, sino para que nos complementemos. Un hombre y una mujer bien unidos pueden llegar más lejos que si actúan separados o desunidos. También la Iglesia Católica debe tener en cuenta esta realidad. Despreciar, o no tener suficientemente en cuenta, el valor de la mujer en la Iglesia será siempre perjudicial para la misma Iglesia. Ya lo dijo con mucha rotundidad la misma santa Teresa de Jesús. 4.- Al que Dios había hecho poco inferior a los ángeles, a Jesús, lo vemos ahora coronado de gloria y honor por su pasión y muerte. En esta carta a los Hebreos se nos dice que la pasión y muerte de Cristo fueron el camino necesario que Dios Padre escogió para su Hijo. Esta pasión y muerte de Cristo fue para bien de todos nosotros, pobres pecadores. Para llevarnos a la gloria a todos nosotros, el Padre “juzgó conveniente consagrar con sufrimientos al guía de nuestra salvación”. Pues, si el mismo Cristo tuvo que sufrir y padecer antes de entrar en la gloria, hagamos también nosotros del dolor y del sufrimiento materia y camino de salvación. Por Gabriel González del Estal Nuevo CD Este Mes! Pruebas de Fuego En esta charla iluminadora, el Dr. Ricardo Luzondo y su esposa Lucía Báez Luzondo, hablan directa y abiertamenta a las parejas en cualquier estado de vida, compartiendo desde su propia experiencia las verdades de 2.- Si uno se divorcia de su mujer y se casa con otra, comete adulterio con la primera. Y si ella se divorcia de su marido y la vida conyugal, las diferencias en la se casa con otro, comete adulterio. También es interesante comunicación y demás retos resaltar que este famoso texto del evangelio según san Marcos que enfrentan las parejas y tiene mucho que ver con la defensa de los derechos de la mujer. En tiempos de Jesús los derechos de la mujer en el matrimonio, y ofrecen herramientas en la vida, eran prácticamente nulos: el hombre podía despedir a prácticas para superarlos y así poder vivir exitosa y la mujer dándole un libelo de repudio facilísimo de conseguir, felizmente ésta, la más cosa que no podía hacer la mujer. Jesús no cae en la trampa significativa y fundamental legalista que le plantean los fariseos y trata de igualar los derechos de la mujer con los derechos del hombre. Una vez más, de las relaciones. Este CD se encuentra Jesús supera y va mucho más allá del cumplimiento legalista de disponible en la entrada de la la ley de Moisés, tal como la entendían muchos fariseos. Es Iglesia el costo es de $3.00 bueno que también nosotros aprendamos de Jesús a superar cada uno. ciertas trampas legalistas, cuando de lo que se trata es de defender a las personas socialmente más desamparadas.

MARK CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHEATON, IL If you are looking for more hope in your life and are impressed by the Resurrectionists who have been ministering in your parish, then come to the next Friends of the Resurrection Get-Together on Saturday, October 17 from 9:15 -11 am at St. Mark's Church in Wheaton. Friends of the Resurrection is an informal group of parishioners from parishes staffed by the Congregation of the Resurrection in the Joliet Diocese. In the context of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, we ask Our Lord to bless the ministry of Resurrectionists throughout the world. We pray for the conversion of sinners and bring the needs of our families before the Lord. Our speaker for this next session is the dynamic Rev. Dennis Sanders, C.R., a retreat master for many years and chaplain to the Sisters of Divine Providence. Father Dennis' talk is entitled the “Easter Resurrectionists.” After the talk and Bendiction, please join us at the parish for a light lunch. Father Andrew Lewandowski, C.R. and his parishioners are our hosts. There is no cost for this event and there is nothing to commit to -–yet. Our hope is that eventually we will form an association of Friends of the Resurrection in the Joliet Diocese. Like the Oblates of St. Benedict or the lay Franciscans, the “Friends” are part of the Congregation of the Resurrection. Everyone is welcome including children and young adults. No reservations necessary. Please come! ST.

In today’s world, the need for priests and other religious is more apparent than ever. In an effort to help promote vocations and provide financial support to those pursuing religious vocations, our Illinois State Council is sponsoring a statewide “VOCATION RAFFLE.” Every dollar that the State Council collects from this raffle is used to support our seminarians in some way. Monetary birthday, Christmas and ordination gifts are sent to them with the appropriate greeting card signed “Illinois State Council Knights of Columbus.” Also, donations on your behalf are made to seminaries that our seminarians attend. Money that the Council collects is used to support our diocesan seminarians as well as to help fund our many programs. Last year we supported 3 Seminarians at $500 each. Through November, Father Boecker Council #6090 will be selling Vocation Raffle tickets to support our Seminarians and help them financially on their road to priesthood. Please help us by purchasing a ticket for $1.00 or a book for $15.00. 1st place prize is $10,000. Remember to pray for Vocations. Questions can be directed to Chairman D. Thurman or Grand Knight Dennis Jensen.
