PENTECOST SUNDAY
WHY DO CATHOLICS ADORE STATUES?
All Christians who understand our Catholic Faith know that we do not adore
statues. This is a pagan custom.
Every nation has monuments to its heroes: Athletes, civil servants and political
figures. It is a Roman Catholic tradition to honor the men and women of virtue and spiritual
life. We hold prayerful devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints.
We cannot ignore the sacrifice and faithful service of the martyrs. We pray to them and we
celebrate their Feast Days. It is the intention of God to keep us united in his mystical
Body of Heaven and Earth. We profess our Faith in the Creed every Sunday.
Please reflect on the following scripture passages:
Revelations, Chapter 6, Verse 10
Book of Psalms, Chapter 35, Verse 17
Hebrews, Chapter 12, Verse 1
First letter of Peter, Chapter 2, Verse 17
Fr. Moody

DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTES
¿POR QUE SE REZA A ESTATUAS E IDOLOS?
Ningún católico que conoce algo sobre la Fe Católica ha adorado a alguna
estatua en algún momento (tal como la idolatría pagana).
Si honramos la memoria y las estatuas de héroes politicos y aquellos monumentos de los
héroes de la guerra, entonces no podría haber ninguna objection al honrar a los
Santos, hombres y mujeres virtuosos.
“Respeten a todos, amen a los hermanos, teman a Dios y respeten al que gobierna”
(1 Pedro2:17).
La intención de Dios nunca fué que los santos en el cielo fueran separados del
Cuerpo de Cristo en la tierra.
Hermanos: Es muy importante leer:
Apocalipsis, capítulo 6, versículo 10
Salmos, capítulo 35, versículo 17
Hebreos, capítulo 12, versículo 1

Reflecting on God’s Word
Sighs allow us to sit there for a moment or two
without breathing—just being there at peace and
without whatever it is that we just exhaled, without
our worry or our confusion or maybe even our inner
pain. It’s almost as if a sigh is a prayer for new spirit.
On the other hand, hiccups are almost like breathing
with potholes and speed bumps, like gulps of roughage to keep the good air flowing—or maybe they’re
gulps of spirit to get the body into balance when it’s
quite content to stay out of balance, a kind of forced
prayer.
Lately I’ve been thinking about sighing and hiccupping. Maybe it’s because I’ve grown older and sigh
more often. Now when I sigh, I find myself deciding to
live with life the way it is and saying to myself that it’s
got to be okay, because like it or not, it’s all I’ve got.
I’ve begun to realize that after fighting with some of
my sins for sixty-some years without much ever seeming to change, maybe I just need to let God do whatever God is going to do. And so the Spirit sighs, which
is another way of saying, “Jesus is Lord.”
On the other hand, after sixty-plus years of living I
also keep discovering new sinfulness in my life, little
corners that I’ve allowed to get dusty by staying out of
them. Like greed that I had labeled “being practical.”
Like protecting myself from being used, which turns
out to be no more than selfishness. And every once in
a while, in a moment of honesty, I’ll come across one
of those dusty corners, and it’s a bit like trying to
swallow a peanut butter sandwich without any milk.
It’s hard to get down, and then you start to hiccup.
—Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis

Living God’s Word
We pay much more attention to hiccups because they
are disruptive. Sighing comes easily. It settles us and
heals. There’s good in both of them: hiccups direct
our thoughts to what may need attention, sighing provides a moment of peace.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
Los suspiros nos permiten quedarnos tranquilos por un
momento sin respirar, en paz y sin aquello que
acabamos de exhalar, desprovistos de esa preocupación
o de esa confusión, o quizás hasta de nuestra pena
interior. Es casi como que un suspiro fuera una oración
para recibir un espíritu nuevo. Por otro lado, el hipo es
casi como respirar en medio de baches y topes, como
tragos de fibra, para que el aire puro siga fluyendo, o tal
vez sean tragos del espíritu para equilibrar el cuerpo
cuando éste se sienta bien contento de permanecer
desequilibrado; es como un tipo de oración forzada.
Últimamente he estado pensando en los suspiros y los
hipos. Quizás sea porque me estoy poniendo mayor y
suspiro con más frecuencia. Ahora con cada suspiro
decido seguir viviendo tal como voy y me digo a mí
misma que todo va bien porque, me guste o no me guste,
es todo lo que tengo. He llegado a caer en la cuenta de
que después de estar luchando con algunos de mis
pecados durante más de sesenta años sin un cambio
aparente, tal vez lo que necesito hacer es dejar a Dios
que haga lo que quiere hacer. Y ahí va entonces un
suspiro del Espíritu, lo cual es otra manera de afirmar
que “Jesús es el Señor”.
Por otro lado, después de más de sesenta años de vida
también sigo descubriendo nuevos pecados en mi vida,
pequeños rincones en donde he permitido que se
acumule el polvo, por no entrar en ellos; como la
avaricia, la cual me he convencido de que es “una cosa
práctica”; como protegerme para no dejarme usar, lo
cual ha resultado ser egoísmo ni más ni menos. Y de vez
en cuando, durante un momento de honestidad, me
encuentro con uno de esos rincones polvorientos y es
algo así como tratar de tragar un sándwich de
mantequilla de cacahuate sin leche; es difícil pasarlo y
por eso comienzan los hipos.

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
Le prestamos mucha más atención a los hipos,
porque interrumpen. Los suspiros vienen fácilmente;
nos calman y nos sanan. Hay algo de bueno en
ambos: el hipo dirige nuestros pensamientos hacia lo
que pudiera necesitar atención, mientras que los
suspiros nos brindan un momento de paz.
