C
Epiphany is an ancient, global celebration of Christ among us. It
reveals that Jesus did not come for a privileged few. He came to
the whole world, to people who saw, heard and understood. We
are not so much brought to Christ through institutions as by the
powerful witness of those who like the magi have encountered
him. Even today.

A FAMILY THAT DOESN'T EAT
TOGETHER IS 'HARDLY A FAMILY,'
POPE SAYS
Vatican— A family that chooses to watch TV or play with
their smartphones rather than talk at the dinner table is "hardly
a family," Pope Francis said. "When children at the dinner
table are glued to the computer, or the telephone and do not
listen to one another, they are not a family, they are retired,"
the pope said recently.
Continuing his catechetical series on family life, the pope
reflected on the theme of togetherness, which is manifested at
the dinner table. The pope said that "to share a meal -- and not
just food, but also affection, stories, events -- is a fundamental
experience."
The pope said Christians have a special vocation to foster
family togetherness. The dinner table, he noted, is the place
chosen by Jesus to teach his disciples and where he
summarized the meaning of his death on the cross "that
nourishes true and everlasting love."
Time for forgiveness has begun, pope says
as holy doors open worldwide
VATICAN— With the opening the Holy Door at the Basilica of St. John
Lateran, Pope Francis declared that the time for tenderness, joy and
forgiveness had begun.
As holy doors around the world were opened at city cathedrals, major
churches and sanctuaries Dec. 13, the pope said this simple gesture of
opening God's house to the world serves as "an invitation to joy. The time
of great pardon begins. It is the Jubilee of Mercy."
Dressed in rose vestments on Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of
Advent, marking the joyful expectation of Christmas, the pope began the
ceremony outside the basilica in front of the bronze holy door. The door
depicts a bas relief of the crucified Christ looking down on Mary tenderly
holding the baby Jesus, whose small foot shone like bright gold from the
countless kisses and touches of visiting pilgrims.
"This is the door of the Lord. Open for me the gates of justice. I will enter
your house, Lord, because of your great mercy," the pope read solemnly
before climbing two marble steps and pushing open the large door. He
For this reason, the family feels "at home" at the celebration of

O
n
Christmas
Day,
two
weeks
ago,
we
were
contemplating the birth of Jesus,
born
in
Bethlehem.
The
following Sunday we celebrated
the feast of the Holy Family of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. From a
birth in a stable to the warm
welcome in a family… in these
characteristics Jesus grew in
wisdom and stature (ref. Lk
2:52). Jesus’ true humanity
developed and grew.
But this mystery needs to be
revealed! Epiphany is defined as
the manifestation of Christ to the
Gentiles (to the world). This
celebration connects us to the
Baptism of the Lord, another
manifestation moment, and to
the beginning of Jesus’ public
ministry at the wedding at Cana
of Galilee (Sunday January 10.
ref. Jn. 2:1-12).
In today’s Gospel, Mathew
mentions that Jesus is the
“newborn King, the ruler, who is
to shepherd the people.” The
presence of the Magi is of
universal significance. Jesus was
born for everyone, without
LIFE AT...
Three Kings Celebration… in many
homes the Christmas tree is no longer
decorating their living rooms and gifts
have been opened or even exchanged
at the store. But Christmas is not over,
at least not for the thousands of
children in Mexico and Latin America.
On January 6th, children will be
anxiously awaiting the “Día de los
Reyes” Celebration, for it is Melchior,
Caspar, and Balthazar in charge of
distributing gifts and not Santa Clause.
I must admit that these three wise
kings missed coming to my home
several times, but I still believed in
them, at least I know that they still
bring their gifts to Jesus and I know
that Jesus shares them with me.
distinction of races, cultures and
nationalities. The fact that God
became man should matter to
every human person who ever
existed and yet to exist. Even
though it may not be important
to a group of people, either
because of their beliefs or
disbeliefs, this does not matter.
Like Paul; we are to be
promoters
of
Christ’s
Manifestation, to a universal
understanding of the Christian
faith. Our faith is not to be
reduced to a group of people
(Christians). We possess the full
revelation of truth and truth is
light and light shines in
darkness.
Today we celebrate that God is
born to manifest himself, to
relate to all, to be accessible to
all people. This has an important
consequence
for
the
understanding of our faith, and
cannot be reduced to a “private
devotion.” There has to be a
conviction so strong that we
cannot remain silent. There is
this idea, which I experienced in
these past weeks, that you cannot
say Merry Christmas but instead
you must use an appropriate
Shepherd formation program. It is a
two-year formation for
priests in ministry. Through
these months I have been
trained in leadership skills
and best practices for
priestly ministry in the 21st
century. As you are aware the
demands of ministry and the
complexity of running a parish require
effective leadership in order to create
and build authentic and vibrant
communities. This program has helped
me with these challenges and has
given me the opportunity to learn and
deal with the administrative and
pastoral concerns in new ways.
The program has taken me away from
the parish once or three times a month
for classes, currently I am in module 4
of 6 modules. The present module that
I am studying is Leadership in the
Team Context. I am learning to review
our parish committees and councils
and learning to create high impact
Upon my arrival as pastor I became teams in order to get things done for
part of the Catholic Leadership Institute the parish.

wish: Happy Holidays. In this
country you have freedom of
religion provided that no
manifestation be made in public
but only in the private spheres of
our
liturgical
celebrations.
Counter culturally, our faith
must permeate our actions, our
thoughts
and
our
public
presence. Jesus didn’t come into
the world to create a private
club, but to tell us that God is
our Father, that we are his
children and we are all brothers.
If you’ve been attentive to the
cover of our Seton Sunday
News, you will notice a star as
our parish logo, an interesting
element for today’s celebration
of Epiphany. The Magi from the
east represent wisdom, possibly
astronomers,
they
were
following the star as their only
guide to meet and worship the
child Jesus. Attentive to what the
star revealed to them, suddenly
the star disappeared and now
they see themselves in need to
ask for directions. The chief
priest and the scribes assembled
and they did have the answers to
their questions, the Christ was to
be born “in Bethlehem of

contexts and provides the skills and
practices that will allow a priest to be a
happy, holy, and healthy shepherd in
any leadership circumstance. To learn

Judea.” Also Scripture was
quoted
to
them:
“From
Bethlehem shall come a ruler,
who is to shepherd the people
Israel.” Now the Magi were well
disposed and open to the
evidence
of
reason
and
revelations
of
Scripture,
proceeded to the place and once
again their star of faith that was
guiding them appeared. They
found the child and offered their
gifts.
Why is the star important to us at
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church?
It was precisely on Epiphany
Sunday that Elizabeth questioned
God about her star of faith being
hidden from her. Upon reading a
meditation on Epiphany she read
“all you who have lost the star of
faith… go to the priest and let
yourself be guided by them.” It
is here that Elizabeth resolved to
be a Catholic… The Star of
Faith that she lost appeared to
her again and this time leading
her to the Eucharist.
On this celebration of Epiphany
we are also guided by a star…
Our Star of Faith giving light to
all!
to share my invitation but I decided to
do it through these means hoping that
just like many children receive gifts this
coming 6th of January I would be one
amongst many, though I am no longer
a kid. I truly appreciate you generosity!
One last thing, tomorrow is the Feast
of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. What a
great opportunity to give thanks for the
gift of faith. Just like she followed her
Star of Faith, may she help us follow
our own Star of Faith as well.
Going back to “El Dia de los Reyes,”
and even though Christmas gifts have
already been wrapped and unwrapped,
I would like to invite you to consider
supporting the Catholic Institute
Sincerely,

possibilities to help me with a small
amount to cover my tuition in the
program? The cost for the program per

food and boarding, for the two-year

purpose. You can either return them in
the collection basket, turn it in to the
office or to me personally. The Catholic

JESUSandMARY,OURMODELS
Let us meditate on Mary, Jesus and the Divine Father. Deep
relationships of love which are born in my heart and yours out of love
for the Holy Spirit. I would like to share with you two quotes that Fr.
Felix wrote about this topic:
O Father! Kind Father, Holy Father, Father of Light, Father of Mercy,
Eternal Father, Heavenly Father, Father from whom all fatherhood
pours out, Father of Jesus Christ, Father of Mary, Father of
humankind, OUR FATHER! Help the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit,
Your sons, each and every one of them, love you
passionately!” (Letter to Rome, 2/23/1930)
And the second passage which is also very beautiful, was a meditation
he gave the Novices in 1918:
Obedient like Jesus, docile like Mary!
Humble like Jesus, modest like Mary!
Poor like Jesus, detached like Mary!
Pure like Jesus, unblemished like Mary!
Compassionate like Jesus, charitable like Mary!
Reserved like Jesus, silent like Mary!
May Jesus make you holy and Mary make you happy!
May Jesus make you his apostle and Mary receive you as disciple!
May Jesus shelter you in His heart and Mary wrap you in her soul!
May Jesus love you like His very own and
Mary love you as her little child!
May Jesus bless you at dawn and Mary guide you all day long!
May Jesus keep you safe in life, and Mary guard you in death!
Remorseful like Jesus, mortified like Mary!
Prudent like Jesus, serious like Mary!
Apostle like Jesus, zealous like Mary!
Crucified like Jesus, troubled like Mary!
Untiring like Jesus, organized like Mary!
Generous like Jesus, devoted like Mary!
Interior like Jesus, All in God like Mary!
May all this reach us deeply so we can continue growing in our
relationship with Jesus, Mary and the Father. Let us not forget the
action of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Sincerely,
Fr. Mario Rodriguez, MSpS

A WAITING HARVEST
Vocation Awareness
“Learning” Christ
If I were teaching a course about a
historical figure, all you have to do is
read books about them, and you
would know about them, but would
still not know them personally.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he
is alive. It is possible to know his as
a person. This means that we must
study and read about him. However,
it has often been observed that
“knowledge
makes
a
bloody
entrance.” It requires effort. We must
know everything we can about his
life and teachings, beginning with the
Gospels.
St.
Jerome
wrote:
“Ignorance of scriptures is ignorance
of Christ.” We must know the
teachings of Jesus as handed down to
us; we must study and know the
Catechism of the Catholic Church,
we must spend silent time with Him
every day in prayer. In this way, we
will know not only the facts and
stories about Jesus, but Jesus
Himself.
In the Seminary, we often say “It is
important to pray your theology”.
This means a man should take what
he learns in class into the chapel
during his hoy hour and talk to Jesus
about it.
Do you know your Catholic faith?
Do you know Jesus in a personal
way? Falling in love with Christ is
the essence of Christianity. Would
you say that he is your best friend?
From the Book
“To Save a Thousand Souls”
Fr. Brett Brannen
DID YOU KNOW…
“Nuns” are women religious who have professed
solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and
live a life of prayer and penance within cloistered
communities? There is a difference between a “nun”
and a “sister.”
“Sisters” are women religious who also have taken
traditional religious vows but are engaged in active
ministries among the public? They usually live in a
convent.
”Brothers” live in Religious Communities. They take
vows and promise to use their talents to serve God
wherever the Community decides they are needed.
Brothers are not ordained.

From her own writings...
Spiritual Direction for the
Road to Conversion
Bishop
John
Cheverus
became
Elizabeth’s spiritual director from 1805
until her death. With his profound
spiritual wisdom and psychological
insight, he guided Elizabeth to make her
conversion to Catholicism and to respond
to God‘s call to be an educator and enter
religious life. He also guided her how to
direct her sister-in-law who was
struggling on the road to conversion to
Catholicism due to her family’s
persecution. With the spiritual direction
of Cheverus, Elizabeth deepened the
Christ-centered life.
Whenever
Elizabeth
went
distress, Cheverus encouraged her to
rejoice in her sufferings and afflictions
because Jesus received her ―in the
likeness of his true disciples. He also
stimulated Elizabeth‘s biblical piety.
Cheverus guided Elizabeth to read some
chapters of the Gospel of St. John as well
as other spiritual books, when she was in
distress. In his letter concerning
Elizabeth‘s children, he prayed for God‘s
blessings on her children that they be
grounded in the faith & immovable in the
hope of the Gospel.
Elizabeth developed her Eucharistic piety
with the spiritual direction of Cheverus.
Cheverus instructed her: ―Let the love
of our adorable Saviour in his Sacrament
through & on the Cross be the subject of your
discourse.
Elizabeth deepened her Eucharistic piety
by participation in the suffering of Jesus
on the Cross. Under Cheverus‘ guidance,
she could develop her liturgical piety by
reading the Roman Catholic Manual
given her by the same Cheverus.
For Elizabeth the highest manifestation
was in the Blessed Sacrament, even
before her conversion, she had great
reverence for the real presence in the
Eucharist.

M I S S I O N A R I E S
of The Holy Spirit
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish is staffed by the Religious
Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit
In this Section you will find interesting articles about the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, the Spirituality
of the Cross and the life of their founding parents: Concepcion Cabrera de Armida (Conchita)
and Fr. Felix de Jesus Rougier.
The Cross as epiphany
Concepcion understood, through a
special grace bestowed on her by God,
that the inmost life of God is Father, Son
and Holy Spirit and is manifested in His
attitude toward us. God is Love which is
spread and overflows liberally and freely
to save what has been lost, overcoming
the obstacle a sinful life had erected
against the expansion of divine Good.
The Father out of love gives us His Son.
The Son out of love gives us His life.
The Holy Spirit is at the same time the
beginning in God and the fruit in us of
the salvific design. For Conchita and the
Spirituality of the Cross, the glorious
Cross is the supreme epiphany of the
mystery of the living God. This
revelation is a Word addressed to man
which by nature is a summons, a call, a
loving demand for a response. When
man under divine initiative opens
himself up to His action, then vital
relations of dialogue rise up in him,
which correspond to the movement of
descending Love. "The love of God has
been poured out in our hearts through
the Holy Spirit which has been given to
us" (Rm 5:5). This love impels us to
identify ourselves with Christ in His
attitude of self-giving and oblation on
behalf of men with the intention of
glorifying the Father from whom all
good proceeds. In this way there is reestablished the flow and re-flow of the
divine good communicated to man. It is
a chain which ties up to God, not a chain
of servitude or of simple dependence as
a creature, but a "Chain of Love." It is a
synthesis of the fundamental experience
of an existence saved by Jesus’ oblation
which members of the Mystical Body of
Christ lead, a lived experience of the
mystical incarnation which finds its
consummation in the Unity of the
Trinity.

JUBILEE OF MERCY
MERCIFUL LIKE THE FATHER
The sheep and the
goats in the parable
of the last judgement
ask Jesus: “When did
we see you hungry
and feed you… a
stranger
and
welcome you?” (Matt
25:37-38).
I am blinded to the real presence of the
person.
In our busyness, how easy it is to treat
people who need our assistance and
attention as interruptions. A person is easily
reduced to an obstacle in my way.
I don’t have many regrets regarding things or
objects taht remain unfinished, but I do have
many memories of times I wish I had been
more attentive, more present to a person.
When my concern has been how much time
they are taking, or other things I have to do,
or what will I do once I’m “finished” with them,
What does this tell me? Those “needy”
people who interrupt my life are Christ’s
mercy toward me.
How different it has been when I have been
welcoming and have entered into relationship
with the person in need. So often I have been
amazed that I am not able to solve the
person’s problem, but a real good has come
from the listening and being with.
The phenomenon of the sheep and the goats
is not just something of the end of time; its
truth resonates now, in this life.
Mercy is not just for the end; mercy
acoompanies us on every step of our journey
to our destiny. Mercy, who is Jesus, is really
present now.

At times we are called to gaze even more
attentively on mercy so that we may
become a more effective sign of the
Father’s action in our lives.

Typology knows teens today have a huge
heart for service and a desire to really
experience life, to learn by doing. Plus, all
our St. EAS parish teens preparing for
Confirmation in May need to do some service
to the poor and needy in order to open their
hearts to Jesus before they receive this
beautiful sacrament. With all this in mind,
and with the Jubilee of Mercy now in full
swing all around us, Typology presents this
article from Marisa Helms at lifeteen.com
suggesting ways we can serve others and
bring Christ’s mercy to those in need.

exciting things are on the horizon—new
opportunities, and new ways to grow in our
faith. Pope Francis announced an
extraordinary jubilee, a Holy Year of
Mercy, to highlight the Catholic Church’s
“mission to be a witness of mercy.” The
special year will take place Dec. 8, 2015
until Nov. 20, 2016.
Mercy into our everyday life?
After much brainstorming and many
sleepless nights (OK, that’s sarcasm) I
came up with some ideas based off of
corporal works of mercy that you can do
throughout the year. Some are easy
everyday things, others you can do with a
group of friends, your youth group, or even
as a service project in college. Without
further ado here are my ideas for the year
of Mercy:
Feed the Hungry
• Get a group of friends to help make
sack lunches at your local homeless
shelter.
• Have a food kit in your car of some
non-perishable foods. So next time
when you’re at red light use that
opportunity to pass out some food.
• Call around town asking certain soup
kitchens when they serve dinner and
get a group of friends or even your
family to help serve dinner once a
month.
• Help serve pancake breakfast with the
Knights of Columbus.
Give Drink to the Thirsty
So many people in our world are hurting
So what does this mean for us young and unsatisfied. There’s a thirst in our souls
people? How can we implement the year of that can only be fulfilled by God. And just
What an exciting time to be alive!
as we long for Jesus, He longs for us too.
He thirsts for souls and we can help to
bring more and more souls to Him.
So for this Year of Mercy, quench your
thirst and dive into your faith by serving
others and bringing others to Christ.
• Make a fast for a month of only
drinking water as a beverage, and offer
to God your desires for other drinks as
a sacrifice for those in need.
• Donate baby formula to pregnancy
help center.
• Pass out water bottles to homeless
people on city streets, with a note
attached, or a Bible verse, or a simple
“you are loved.”
• Take time to meditate on God’s thirst
for souls. And pray for the grace to
help bring Him souls.

Mensaje del Párroco
El Día de la Navidad, hace dos semanas,
estábamos contemplando el nacimiento de
Jesús en Belén. El sábado siguiente
celebramos la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia
de Jesús, María y José. De nacer en un
establo a la cálida bienvenida en una
familia… en este entorno Jesús creció en
sabiduría y estatura (cfr Lc 2:52). La
humanidad verdadera de Jesús se desarrolló
y creció.
¡Pero este misterio debe ser revelado!
Epifanía se define como la manifestación de
Cristo a los Gentiles (al mundo). Esta
celebración nos conecta con el Bautismo del
Señor, otro momento de manifestación, y con
el comienzo del ministerio público de Jesús,
en las Bodas de Caná de Galilea (domingo
10 de Enero, Jn 2,1-12).
En el evangelio de hoy, Mateo menciona que
Jesús es el “rey de los judíos, que acaba de
nacer, el jefe, que será el pastor de mi
pueblo”. La presencia de los Reyes Magos
tiene significado universal. Jesús nació para
todos, sin distinción de raza, cultura o
nacionalidad. El hecho de que Dios se hiciera
hombre debería ser relevante a todas las
personas que ya existieron, y las que
existirán en el futuro. Si bien pueden o ser
importante para algún grupo de personas,
sea por sus creencias o sus no creencias,
esto no tiene importancia. Como Pablo,
debemos ser promotores de la manifestación
LO QUE OCURRE EN...
La celebración de los Reyes Magos…
en muchos hogares ya se guardó el
arbolito de Navidad o el Nacimiento,
los regalos ya se abrieron y hasta se
cambiaron por otros en la tienda.
Pero la Navidad no ha terminado,
especialmente para los hogares que
todavía guardan la tradición del Día
de Reyes, especialmente en México y
Latinoamérica. El 6 de Enero los
niños esperan ansiosamente que
Melchor, Gaspar y Baltazar traigan
los regalitos, pues son ellos y no
Santa que les trae regalos. Debo
admitir que en mi niñez algunas
veces no llegaron los Reyes, pero
siempre creí en ellos, y hoy sé que
siguen llevando sus regalos a Jesús,
y Jesús los comparte conmigo.
de Cristo, hasta una propagación universal
de la fe Cristiana. Nuestra fe no puede
reducirse a un grupo de personas (los
cristianos). Poseemos la revelación total de
la verdad, y la verdad es luz que brilla en las
tinieblas.
Hoy celebramos que Dios nació para
manifestarse, para relacionarse con todos,
para ser accesible a todos. Esto es de vital
importancia para entender nuestra fe, y no
puede reducirse a una “devoción privada”.
Debe existir un convencimiento tan fuerte
que no podemos quedarnos callados. Se
tiene la idea, y me ha tocado de cerca estas
últimas semanas, que no podemos decir
“Feliz Navidad”, sino hay que usar la frase
“Felices Fiestas”. En este país se tiene
libertad de religión siempre y cuando no haya
manifestaciones públicas, sino que sólo las
haya en la esfera privada de nuestras
celebraciones litúrgicas. Yendo en contra de
la cultura, nuestra fe debe reflejarse en
nuestras acciones, nuestros pensamientos y
nuestra presencia pública. Jesús no vino al
mundo a abrir un club privado, sino para
decirnos que Dios es nuestro Padre, que
nosotros somos sus hijos, y que somos todos
hermanos.
Si has prestado atención a la portada del
Seton Sunday News, habrás notado que hay
una Estrella en el logo de la parroquia, un
elemento significativo en la celebración de

Buenos líderes, buenos pastores. Es
un programa de formación de dos
años para sacerdotes en ministerio. A
lo largo de estos años me he formado
en liderazgo y prácticas para el
ministerio sacerdotal del siglo 21.
Como se imaginan, las exigencias del
ministerio y la complejidad de
administrar una parroquia requieren
un liderazgo eficiente para crear
comunidades auténticas y vibrantes.
Este programa me ha ayudado con
estos desafíos y me ha permitido
aprender a manejar los asuntos
pastorales de manera diferente.
El programa me ha alejado de la
parroquia de una a tres veces al mes
para asistir a clases. Actualmente
estoy en el módulo 4 de 6. El módulo
que estoy estudiando es Liderazgo

estrella como única guía para conocer y
saludar al niño Jesús. Atentos a lo que la
estrella les revelaba, de repente desapareció
y ahora deben pedir direcciones. El sumo
sacerdote y los escribas estaban reunidos, y
sí tienen la respuesta a sus preguntas. El
Cristo debería nacer “en Belén de Judá”.
También les citaron de la escritura: “De Belén
saldrá un jefe, que será el pastor de mi
pueblo Israel”. Ahora los Reyes Magos tienen
buenas intenciones, y están abiertos a la
evidencia de la razón y las revelaciones de
las Escrituras, y por eso procedieron al lugar,
y nuevamente la estrella de fe que los iba
guiando volvió a aparecer. Encontraron al
niño y le ofrecieron sus regalos.
¿Por qué es importante la Estrella para
nosotros en la Parroquia de Santa Elizabeth?
Fue justamente un Domingo de Epifanía que
Elizabeth le preguntó a Dios acerca de su
estrella de fe que estaba escondida a sus
ojos. Leyendo una meditación sobre la
Epifanía, se encontró con estas palabras:
“todos ustedes que han perdido su estrella
de la fe… vayan con el Sacerdote y déjense
guiar por ellos”. Aquí decidió Elizabeth
convertirse al Catolicismo… La Estrella de la
Fe que ella había perdido se le apareció
nuevamente y la llevó a la Eucaristía.
En esta celebración de la Epifanía también a
nosotros nos guía una estrella… Nuestra
estrella de fe, dando luz al mundo.

que le permitirán ser un pastor feliz,

El Pensar en María, Jesús y el Divino Padre. Relaciones profundas de
amor que se engendran en mi corazón y en el tuyo por amor al
Espíritu Santo. Me gustaría compartir contigo dos textos que el P.
Félix de Jesús escribió:
“¡Oh Padre! Padre bueno, Padre Santo, Padre de las Luces, Padre de
las Misericordias, Padre Eterno, Padre Celestial, Padre de quien viene
toda paternidad, Padre de Jesucristo, Padre de María, Padre del
género humano, ¡NUESTRO PADRE!”. ¡Haz que los Misioneros del
Espíritu Santo, tus hijos, y cada uno de ellos, te amen
apasionadamente!...[1]
Y el segundo que también es muy hermoso, fue una meditación que
les dijo a los Novicios en 1918.
¡Jesús lo haga santo y María lo haga feliz!
¡Jesús lo haga su apóstol y María lo reciba por discípulo!
¡Jesús lo abrigue en su Corazón, María lo envuelva en su Alma!
¡Jesús lo ame como muy suyo, María lo quiera como hijito!
¡Jesús lo bendiga al despertar, María lo guíe en todo el día!
¡Jesús lo custodie, lo guarde en su vida, María lo ampare en su
muerte!
¡Penitente como Jesús, mortificado como María!
¡Prudente como Jesús, Circunspecto como María!
¡Apóstol como Jesús, Celoso como María!
¡Crucificado como Jesús, Atribulado como María!
¡Incansable como Jesús, Ordenado como María!
¡Generoso como Jesús, Abnegado como María!
¡Interior como Jesús, Todo en Dios como María!
Que todo esto nos llegue a cada uno de nosotros, para seguir
profundizando las relaciones con Jesús, María y el Padre. Que no
olvidemos la acción del Espíritu Santo en nuestras vidas.

the Eucharist where they bring their "experience of togetherness and open it
to the grace of a universal coexistence, of the love of God for the world," he
said.
However, the pope said that there are obstacles to family togetherness and
Christians are called to overcome them. At the dinner table, he said,
families speak and listen, but "there can't be any silence that is not the
silence of monks but of selfishness, of the cellphone, of the television."
People in wealthier countries, in particular, are enticed to spend money on
excessive amounts of food that ultimately distract from the "true hunger of
the body and the soul," he said.
Pope Francis called on families to contemplate the mystery of the Eucharist
in which "Christ breaks his body and shares his blood for all. There is no
division that can resist this sacrifice of communion."
Christian families who embrace this calling of togetherness, "cooperate with
the grace of the Eucharist, which has the power to create an always new
communion that includes and saves," he said.
