A prime example is the ABeD drive. Bishop Wenski and Father Paul asked and our parish family responded. The Humanity Ministry asked to feed and provide gifts for 750 familles and without hesitation our parish family responded. Bishop Rivas from St Lucia asked our help to recover from a devastating hurricane and our parish family responded. Through our parish families works, we do $0 much only to be asked again and again. It is the Lord’s will that we, the parish family of St Louis, have the ability to do good deeds and help others. The Festival for the Poor is no different. It needs YOU. The Festival was taken up 28 + years ago with the idea to raise money to help feed, clothes and house the neediest among us in Miami Dade COunty. The Festival has succeeded for 28 + years. We all need to step up again and participate by buying T-Shirts, raffle tickets, Friday Night Dinner tickets, Saturday Night Dinner tickets, ride bracelets, volunteering, and attending the Festival.

No se puede separar la relación con Dios del respeto y el amor al prójimo. El culto, el ayuno y demás prácticas rituales y religiosas son auténticos si conducen a la solidaridad fraterna con los necesitados y al respeto a los derechos de las personas. SEGUNDA LECTURA (1 Corintios 2: 10-15) San Pablo nos recuerda que tanto su predicación como su testimonio no se apoyan en la sabiduría humana. El centro de su mensaje es Cristo, curcificado. De esta forma el apóstol quiere dejar claro que la fuerza de su Palabra radica en el poder de Dios. El cristiano esta llamado a fundamentar su fe sólo en Cristo y no en otros apoyos humanos. EVANGELIO (Mateo 5: 13-16) La comparación de los discípulos con la luz y la sal subrayan la vocación misionera de la comunidad cristiana en medio del mundo. El testimonio cristiano de fraternidad con el prójimo, y de relación de hijos con Dios Padre se convierte en luz para los demás que los conduce hasta la alabanza y la fe en el Señor.

It recalls the story of how Mary and Joseph took the child Jesus to the temple on the fortieth day after his birth for the Jewish ritual of presenting him to God. On that occasion the elderly Simeon praised God that he had lived to see the Messiah, whom he proclaimed “a light for revelation to the Gentiles” (Luke 2:32). As we try to continue to walk in Christ’s light, he challenges us disciples to be a light for others, so “that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:16). The goodness and generosity we show to others reflect the goodness and generosity that God has shown to us. Thanks for the many ways in which the light has shown through our parishioners’ pledges to the ABCD, the annual Archbishop’s Charities and Development campaign. Because of charitable contributions, light will be spread to counter the darkness of loneliness, ignorance, fear, and human suffering in many forms. These are all ministries of light that ABCD supports: Morningstar Renewal Center, our seminaries in Miami and Boynton Beach, Catholic Charities, hospital chaplaincies, detention ministry, Respect Life, religious education, communications, Lay Ministry, Family Enrichment, Marian Center for persons with developmental disabilities, Schott Center for the deaf and disabled, to name a few. If you have not yet done so, join the more than 630 donors from our parish who have pledged over $400,000 to help the work of the Archdiocese. They have answered the challenge of Archbishop Wenski to “start afresh from Christ.” In Christ, LUZ Esta semana el día 2 de febrero celebramos la Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor. Relata la historia de cómo María y José llevaron a su hijo Jesús al templo a los cuarenta días después de su nacimiento, siguiendo el ritual Judío de presentarlo ante Dios. En esa ocasión el anciano Simeón dio gracias a Dios por permitirle vivir para ver al Mesías, a quien proclamo “luz para iluminar a los paganos (Lucas 2:32). Al tiempo que continuamos nuestro caminar en la luz de Cristo, él nos reta, a sus discípulos a ser luz para los demás, “de modo que cuando ellos vean sus buenas obras, glorifiquen al Padre de ustedes que está en el cielo.” (Mateo 5:16) La bondad y la generosidad que mostramos a los demás refleja la bondad y la generosidad que Dios nos ha mostrado a nosotros. Gracias por las diferentes formas en que la luz ha brillado a través de las ofertas de donación para el ABCD (Campaña anual de las Obras de Caridad y Desarrollo del Arzobispo) de nuestros feligreses. Debido a la contribución generosa, esa luz brillará para contrarrestar la oscuridad de la soledad, la ignorancia, el temor y el sufrimiento humano en muchas formas. Todos estos son ministerios de luz, los cuales ABCD apoya: Centro de Renovación de MorningStar, nuestros Seminarios en Miami y Boynton Beach, Caridades Católicas, Capellanes en los hospitales, Ministerio de las Cárceles, Respeto a la Vida, Educación Religiosa, Comunicaciones, Ministerio de Laicos, Centro de Enriquecimiento Familiar, Centro Mariano para personas discapacitadas, Centro Schott para sordos, sólo para nombrar algunos. Si usted todavía no ha hecho su oferta de donación, únase a los más de 630 donantes de nuestra parroquia que han ofrecido donar más de $400,000 para ayudar a las obras de la Arquidiócesis. Han respondido al reto del Arzobispo Wenski “comenzar de nuevo desde Cristo. Suyo en Cristo,
