DIA DEL TRABAJO
En los Estados Unidos se celebra el primer lunes de
septiembre. Celebramos la contribución económica y
social del trabajador. Mientras damos gracias a Dios por
todo trabajador que goza de un trabajo digno, debemos
elevar nuestras oraciones por aquellas personas que sufren
a causa del desempleo.
VIGESIMO TERCER DOMINGO ORDINARIO
4 DE SETIEMBRE 2016
Con la presencia y la acción del Espíritu Santo
ordenaremos rectamente nuestra vida desde Dios y hacia
Él, aprenderemos a agradar a Dios haciendo su Voluntad y
caminaremos sabiamente hacia nuestra salvación.
Nosotros hemos recibido el don del Espíritu Santo en el
Bautismo y hemos sido fortalecidos en el mismo Espíritu
por la Confirmación. Estamos capacitados para reflejar la
Sabiduría divina creciendo en el conocimiento de
Jesucristo, dando testimonio de Él y reflejando la
paternidad espiritual en el ejercicio del sacerdocio
entregados a la salvación de las almas y a darnos amor
fraterno como hijos adoptivos de Dios. Para construir el
edificio de la Sabiduría y ser discípulos de Cristo, hemos
de poner cimientos sólidos como el constructor que desea
construir una torre. La respuesta de Cristo es tajante: el
que no renuncia a todos sus bienes, no puede ser discípulo
mío. O sea, hemos de liberarnos de la esclavitud de los
bienes materiales para ser discípulos de Cristo y adquirir
la verdadera sabiduría.
