YOUTH LEADER
We would like to explore an enhancement for our Christian
Education programs to broaden their scope and expedite the
quality. We are looking for a part time person to work with our
director specifically for young people from 6th grade on. It
entails an evening (likely Monday night) and a willingness to
accompany the kids to CYO convention and other weekend
activities. If you want to talk about it we are anxious to meet
with you to talk about your background, and find out what kind
of compensation you would need.

VEA SEÑOR ALREDEDOR DE SU ALTAR
PRIMERA LECTURA
Amós 6, 1. 4-7
Lectura del libro del profeta Amós
Esto dice el Señor todopoderoso:
"¡Ay de ustedes, los que se sienten seguros en Sión
y los que ponen su confianza
en el monte sagrado de Samaria!
Se reclinan sobre divanes adornados con marfil,
se recuestan sobre almohadones
para comer los corderos del rebaño y las terneras en engorda.
Canturrean al son del arpa,
creyendo cantar como David.
Se atiborran de vino,
se ponen los perfumes más costosos,
pero no se preocupan por las desgracias de sus hermanos.
Por eso irán al destierro a la cabeza de los cautivos
y se acabará la orgía de los disolutos".
Palabra de Dios.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
SEGUNDA LECTURA
1 Timoteo 6, 11-16
Lectura de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a Timoteo
Hermano:
Tú, como hombre de Dios, lleva una vida de rectitud,
piedad, fe, amor, paciencia y mansedumbre.
Lucha en el noble combate de la fe,
conquista la vida eterna a la que has sido llamado
y de la que hiciste tan admirable profesión ante numerosos testigos. Ahora, en presencia de Dios, que da vida a todas las cosas, y de Cristo Jesús,
que dio tan admirable testimonio ante Poncio Pilato,
te ordeno que cumplas fiel e irreprochablemente,
todo lo mandado, hasta la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
la cual dará a conocer a su debido tiempo Dios,
el bienaventurado y único soberano,
rey de los reyes y Señor de los señores,
el único que posee la inmortalidad,
el que habita en una luz inaccesible
y a quien ningún hombre ha visto ni puede ver.
A él todo honor y poder para siempre.
Palabra de Dios.
Salmo 145, 7. 8-9a. 9bc-10
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor.
Él mantiene su fidelidad perpetuamente,
hace justicia a los oprimidos,
da pan a los hambrientos,
liberta a los cautivos.
EVANGELIO
Lucas 16, 19-31
Lectura del santo Evangelio según San Lucas
En aquel tiempo,
Jesús dijo a los fariseos:
"Había un hombre rico, que se vestía de púrpura y telas finas
y banqueteaba espléndidamente cada día.
Y un mendigo, llamado Lázaro, yacía a la entrada de su casa,
cubierto de llagas
y ansiando llenarse con las sobras que caían de la mesa del rico.
Y hasta los perros se acercaban a lamerle las llagas.
Sucedió, pues, que murió el mendigo
y los ángeles lo llevaron al seno de Abraham.
Murió también el rico y lo enterraron.
Estaba éste en el lugar de castigo, en medio de tormentos,
cuando levantó los ojos y vio a lo lejos a Abraham y a Lázaro
junto a él.
Entonces gritó: `Padre Abraham, ten piedad de mí.
Manda a Lázaro que moje en agua la punta de su dedo
y me refresque la lengua,
porque me torturan estas llamas'.
Pero Abraham le contestó:
Hijo, recuerda que en tu vida recibiste bienes
y Lázaro, en cambio, males.
Por eso él goza ahora de consuelo,
mientras que tú sufres tormentos.
Además, entre ustedes y nosotros se abre un abismo inmenso,
que nadie puede cruzar, ni hacia allá ni hacia acá'.
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor.
El Señor abre los ojos al ciego,
el Señor endereza a los que ya se doblan,
el Señor ama a los justos,
el Señor guarda a los peregrinos.
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor.
Sustenta al huérfano y a la viuda,
y trastorna el camino de los malvados.
El Señor reina eternamente,
tu Dios, Sión, de edad en edad.
Alaba, alma mía, al Señor.

Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano
(CCHD)
¡Muchas gracias por sus contribuciones a la colecta para la
Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD)! Sus
generosos donativos ayudarán a CCHD a romper el ciclo de
pobreza en los Estados Unidos mediante una mejor educación,
mejores viviendas y desarrollo económico. A través de CCHD
y sus beneficiarios, demostramos la enseñanza social católica
y realizamos la misión de Jesús para “llevar a los pobres la
buena nueva. . . para anunciar la liberación a los cautivos y la
curación a los ciegos, para dar libertad a los oprimidos”
(Lc 4:18).
El rico insistió: `Te ruego, entonces, padre Abraham,
que mandes a Lázaro a mi casa, pues me quedan allá cinco hermanos, para que les advierta y no acaben también ellos en este
lugar de tormentos'. Abraham le dijo: `Tienen a Moisés y a los
profetas; que los escuchen'. Pero el rico replicó: `No, padre
Abraham. Si un muerto va a decírselo, entonces sí se arrepentirán'. Abraham repuso: `Si no escuchan a Moisés y a los profetas, o harán caso, ni aunque resucite un muerto' ".
Palabra del Señor.

EXCERPTS FROM USCCB:
Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship - Part I The U.S. Bishops’ Reflection on Catholic Teaching and
Political Life
7. In this statement, we bishops do not intend to tell Catholics
for whom or against whom to vote. Our purpose is to help
Catholics form their consciences in accordance with God's truth.
We recognize that the responsibility to make choices in political
life rests with each individual in light of a properly formed
conscience, and that participation goes well beyond casting a
vote in a particular election.
8. During election years, there may be many handouts and
voter guides that are produced and distributed. We encourage
Catholics to seek those resources authorized by their own
bishops, their state Catholic conferences, and the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops. This statement is intended to
reflect and complement, not substitute for, the ongoing teaching
of bishops in our own dioceses and states. When using this
document, it is important to remember that Church teaching is
coherent and rests on a comprehensive vision of the dignity of
the human person, a dignity that St. John Paul II described as
"manifested in all its radiance when the person's origin and
destiny are considered: created by God in his image and likeness as well as redeemed by the most precious blood of Christ,
the person is called to be a 'child in the Son' and a living temple
of the Spirit, destined for the eternal life of blessed communion
with God'" (Christifideles Laici, no. 37). Thus, the particular
judgments of the document may fall at various points along the
political spectrum, but the foundational principles that guide
these teachings should not be ignored in any case nor used
selectively in order to serve partisan interests. In light of these
reflections and those of local bishops, we encourage Catholics
throughout the United States to be active in the political
process, particularly in these challenging times.
