Comentario sobre el evangelio de Juan, libro II; CSCO 116, p.
55-56
"He is not God of the dead, but of the living"
"No es un Dios de muertos, sino de vivos"
At the basis of our present condition is Adam, but of our
future life, Christ our Lord. For just as Adam was the first of
mortal men and, consequently, all are mortal because of him,
so Christ is the first to rise from the dead and has given the
seed of resurrection to those who would come after him. We
come into this visible life through birth in the body, which is
why we are all perishable beings. But in the life to come we will
be transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit, which is
why we shall rise up again imperishable.
This won't happen until that little seed of life has passed
away. However, in this present time Christ our Lord has desired
to bear us there in a symbolic way by giving baptism to us, that
new birth into him. This spiritual birth is already the
prefiguration of resurrection and the regeneration that is to be
fully realized in us when we pass into the life there. This is why
baptism is also termed regeneration...
When the apostle Paul speaks of the future life he wishes to
reassure his hearers with these words: “Not only creation but
we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we also
groan within ourselves as we wait for the redemption of our
bodies” (Rm 8,23). For if we have received the first fruits of
grace even now, we are waiting to receive it in its fullness when
we are given the happiness of resurrection.
Quinceañera Preparation
Anyone wishing to celebrate a Quinceañera at St.
Mary’s must be a parish member and attending CCE.
Once the requirements are met and an interview is
completed, the Quinceañera will be scheduled. Please
call 233-2771, two years before candidate turns
fifteen.
Preparación Para Quinceañera
Si alguien desea celebrar una Quinceañera aquí en la
Iglesia Santa Maria, deberá ser miembro y asistir a las
clases de CCE (Catecismo). Una vez que cumpla con los
requisitos y se haya completado la entrevista, se fijará la
fecha para la Quinceañera. Favor llame al 233-2771, dos
años antes de los quince años.
Statue Stand and Candle Holder
Anyone interested in buying the Statue Stand and
Candle Holder that came from St. Henry’s
Catholic Church, please call the Parish office.
Soporte Estatua y sostenedor de vela
Cualquier persona interesada en la compra de la
estatua y de soporte sostenedor de vela que viene
de la iglesia católica de St. Henry, por favor
llame a la oficina parroquial.
El fundamento de nuestra condición presente, es Adán; pero
para nuestra vida futura, es Cristo, nuestro Señor. Lo mismo
que Adán fue el primer hombre mortal y que más tarde todos
somos mortales a causa de él, así Cristo es el primero que ha
resucitado de entre los muertos, y les dio el germen de la
resurrección a los que vendrán después de él. Venimos a esta
vida visible por el nacimiento corporal, y por eso somos
totalmente perecederos; pero en la vida futura, seremos
transformados por la fuerza del Espíritu Santo, y por eso
resucitaremos imperecederos.
Esto se realizará sólo cuando este germen de vida se abra,
pero desde ahora, Cristo nuestro Señor quiso transportarnos
allí de manera simbólica otorgándonos el bautismo, este nuevo
nacimiento en sí mismo. Este nacimiento espiritual ya es la
prefiguración de la resurrección y de la regeneración que se
realizará plenamente en nosotros cuando pasemos a la otra
vida. Por eso el bautismo es llamado también regeneración…
Cuando el apóstol Pablo habla de la vida futura, quiere
tranquilizar a sus auditores con estas palabras: "no sólo la
creación, sino que nosotros también que recibimos las primicias
del Espíritu, gemimos en nuestro interior, esperando la
redención de nuestro cuerpo" (Rm 8,23). Porque si recibimos
desde ahora las primicias de la gracia, esperamos recibirlas en
plenitud cuando nos sea dada la felicidad de la resurrección.
