Lecturas del Día
PRIMERA LECTURA (Sofonías 2:3 3:12-13)
Sofonías, en medio de un pueblo corrupto, que se ha
olvidado de Dios, promete la elección de un grupo pobre y humilde que
hará la voluntad del Señor. Será “el resto” de Israel. A él pertenecerían los
discípulos del Bautista y también María y José. Jesús nació en el seno
de esa gente pobre y humilde fiel a Dios que esperaba en sus promesas.
SEGUNDA LECTURA (1 Corintos 1:26-31)
Pablo nos recuerda torpeza e incapacidad para recordarnos que si es que hay algo
que logramos es merced a Jesucristo, que lo obra todo en todos. San Pablo quiere
que busquemos la gloria de Dios y no que podamos presumir de nuestras cualidades.
Entonces nos volveríamos engreídos y podríamos mirar a Dios como a un rival.
EVANGELIO (Mateo 5: 1-12)
El discurso del Sermón de la Montaña es la nueva ley promulgada por Jesucristo
en nombre de Dios, y las bienaventuranzas, el nuevo decálogo que sustituye al de
Moisés. En ellas, Jesús proclama un programa de felicidad para quien opta por el
camino de la sencillez y la humildad, la pobreza y la justicia, la búsqueda de la paz y
la cercanía con los que sufren. Es, en verdad, la concreción de la Buena Noticia.

ABCD: Many Thanks from Many Hearts
In recent weeks many
members of our St. Louis Parish
Family have responded to the
challenge of Archbishop Wenski
to assist the needy members
of our Archdiocesan Family
through the annual ABCD, the
Archbishop’s Charities and Development campaign.
Many responded directly to the ABCD office through
direct mailing, or on line, or at a fund raising dinner.
We do not yet have the information about those donors
or their gifts. However, we do have hard numbers
about the pledges made last weekend in our parish:
512 donors pledged a total of $311,310. Some made
smaller gifts, others made very large ones. Thanks
for all those gifts that represent a generous spirit of
Christian sacrifice in our parish.
•Thanks to those who contribute every year
to the ABCD; the Archbishop needs our continuous
support to sustain many ministries.
• Thanks to those who increased their pledge
this year; you have a renewed vision of how important
your donation is.
• Thanks to those who are giving to ABCD for
the first time; you are stepping forward to join the in
great work of the Church in South Florida.
• Thanks to those who had given in the
past, though not in recent years, but who started to
contribute again this year; you decided to “start afresh
from Christ,” as the Archbishop says.
It was a good start. We will continue to accept
pledges for the ABCD. If you have not yet made your
pledge, do not miss the opportunity to reach out to your
sisters and brothers in the Catholic community of South
Florida. You can find brochures and pledge envelopes
in the church or in the parish office. Prayerfully consider
what you are able to give for those in need beyond our
parish. Through the cooperation of all our parishes
together in the ABCD, we can accomplish more than
any one parish could ever do by itself.
From Morningstar Renewal Center to the
seminaries in Miami and Boynton Beach, from Respect
Life to the Detention Ministry, from Schott Center for the
disabled to migrant worker ministries, and elsewhere–
many grateful hearts give thanks to you and to God for
your generosity and service.
Yours in Christ,
ABCD:
Muchas Gracias de Muchos Corazones
En las ultimas semanas muchos de
nuestros feligreses han respondido al reto
presentado por el Arzobispo Wenski de ayudar
a los más necesitados en nuestra Familia
Arquidiocesana a través de la Campaña Anual del ABCD (Obras
de Caridad y Desarrollo del Arzobispo). Muchos lo hicieron
directamente a la Oficina del ABCD, otros a través del correo
electrónico o postal y otros en las cenas de recaudación de fondos.
Todavía no tenemos esa información, o sea los nombres, ni las
cantidades ofrecidas. Sin embargo, si tenemos buenos números
de las ofertas de la semana pasada en nuestra parroquia: 512
donantes ofrecieron un total de $311,310. Algunos hicieron
pequeñas donaciones, otros cantidades importantes. Gracias a
todos por sus donaciones que representan el generoso espíritu
de sacrificio Cristiano en nuestra comunidad parroquial.
• Gracias a todos los que contribuyen año tras año al
ABCD; el Arzobispo necesita nuestro continuo apoyo para todos
sus ministerios.
• Gracias a todos los que aumentaron su oferta de
donación éste año, ustedes tienen una renovada visión de cuan
importante es su donación.
• Gracias a todos los ofrecieron éste año, pero en el
pasado no lo habían hecho; apreciamos su paso hacia delante
uniéndose al trabajo de la Iglesia del Sur de la Florida.
• Gracias a los que aportaron en el pasado, aunque no
en años recientes, y que ahora han vuelto a ofrecer donación
para ayudarnos “a comenzar de nuevo desde Cristo”, como dice
el Arzobispo.
¡Fue un buen comienzo! Continuaremos recibiendo
ofertas de donación para el ABCD. Si usted no ha hecho su
oferta de donación, no pierda ésta oportunidad de estar al
lado de sus hermanos y hermanas en la Comunidad Católica
del Sur de la Florida. Los folletos y los sobres para su oferta
de donación están disponibles en la Iglesia y en la oficina de
la parroquia. Considere meditadamente cuánto usted puede
donar para ayudar mas allá de nuestra parroquia a los mas
necesitados de la Iglesia. A través del apoyo y el esfuerzo de
todas las parroquias unidas es que el ABCD puede cubrir las
necesidades que una sola parroquia no puede lograr.
Desde el Centro de Renovación MorningStar a los
seminarios de Miami y de Boynton Beach, desde Respeto a la
Vida hasta el Ministerio de las Cárceles, desde el Centro Schott
para Discapacitados a los trabajadores inmigrantes, y donde
quiera – muchos corazones agradecidos de ustedes y de Dios
por su generosidad y servicio.
Suyo en Cristo,
