BULLETIN BITES
“But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.”
Jesus knew that his actions and words were threatening the Jewish and Roman leaders
of his day. He knew that if he continued to attract people to his teaching to love God,
not fear him; to have faith in power of God, not the power of men; and to love one
another as we love ourselves, the people with power would try to silence him and
make an example of him to frighten people so they would not follow and imitate him.
Jesus knew his followers were worried about him. Jesus was worried about them.
Jesus was worried about himself. And he knew his friends had question they were
afraid to ask. So he taught them that to lead people to God, we must be a servant to
those we lead; we must welcome and care about everyone like we would a small
child; we must accept the resistance, rejection, and abuse of those who feel that their
wealth and power are threatened when we
imitate Jesus. Do we want to lead people to
God by imitating Jesus, we must serve them,
we must receive them as we would a small
child, and we must accept the consequences.

UN MOMENTO DE CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Santiago pregunta ¿qué puede significar nuestro amor por
Jesucristo si este no resulta en acción en beneficio de nuestro
prójimo? Él sugiere que esta fe sea demostrada
más intensamente en el cuidado por el
necesitado, el que sufre y el menos privilegiado.
La corresponsabilidad incluye proclamar las
Buenas Nuevas poniendo nuestra fe en acción en
beneficio de otros. ¿En qué formas hemos estado
dispuestos a hacer sacrificios y renuncias en el
nombre de Jesucristo y beneficio de nuestro
prójimo?
de Barcelona. Fue conocido por su piedad
y su habilidad intelectual. Se unió a la
comunidad Jesuita en 1602 y fue inspirado
a convertirse en misionero. Escribió en un
libro de notas las palabras que guardó con
él a través de toda su vida: “Debo dedicarme al servicio de Dios hasta la muerte,
en el entendimiento de que soy como un
esclavo.” En el año de 1610 Claver fue
enviado a Cartagena, Colombia, el centro
de comercio de esclavos africanos más
importante. Él estuvo un tiempo en Bogotá
y en Tunja, Colombia, donde se preocupó
profundamente por el horrible trato a los
esclavos traídos de África. En ese tiempo el
comercio de esclavos fue establecido en
América durante casi 100 años. Aunque
esto era condenado por la Iglesia, el
comercio de esclavos era un negocio extraordinariamente rentable y como resultado continuaba floreciendo. En Cartagena,
donde miles de esclavos eran traídos cada
año, Claver se dirigía al muelle en cuanto
divisaba un barco de esclavos. Él se movió
entre las inmundas e insalubres bodegas
de los barcos para curar y ofrecer ministerio a su maltratada y aterrorizada carga
humana. Después de que los esclavos eran
sacados del barco y encerrados en patios
para ser estudiados por los compradores,
Claver les llevaba medicina, alimentos, y
otros artículos básicos. Él hablaba a los
esclavos acerca de su dignidad y del amor
de Cristo por ellos. Durante sus 40 años de
ministerio, Claver trabajó incansablemente
por el cuidado físico y espiritual de los esclavos. Se estima que él solo catequizó y
bautizó a 300,000 de ellos. El ministerio de
Claver se extendió también más allá de los
esclavos. Él predicó en la plaza de la ciu-
dad, dio misiones y llevó los sacramentos a
los marineros, a los comerciantes y a los
ricos terratenientes. Él fue también visitante
frecuente de los hospitales de la ciudad.
Fue una
fuerza
moral en
la ciudad,
eventualmente
se convirtió en
instrumento para mejorar las condiciones
de los esclavos. A la edad de 70 años
Claver se enfermó deuna parálisis similar a
la Enfermedad de Parkinson que casi
acaba con su vida. Los últimos cuatro años
de su vida sufrió un dolor constante y ya no
pudo celebrar la Misa. Su trabajo fue abandonado y él fue olvidado por largo tiempo.
Murió el 9 de septiembre de 1654. Fue
hasta después de su muerte que el enorme
alcance del ministerio de Pedro Claver se
empieza a conocer. Fue canonizado en
1888 por el Papa León XIII y es conmemorado el día 9 de septiembre.
Oh Dios, padre de todos los pueblos,
que diste a Pedro Claver un
corazón lleno de afecto por sus hermanos, sin distincion de razas ni posiciones sociales, concédenos practicar
sus virtudes con un espiritu constante,
generoso, para ser testigos de tu amor
en medio de tu pueblo y principo de
unión entre todos tu hijos. Por Jesucrito Nuestro Señor. Amén.

Bible Trivia:
Jesus said:
“If anyone wants to be first then he must…
What two things must you do to be first?
(Hint: look in today’s readings)
Last week’s answer:
“His death”
See Mark 8:29-33
St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the
greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most
helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only
celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,
we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."
You are invited to participate in Eucharistic Adoration each Friday
Adoration begins after 8:15 Mass; ends with Benediction at 11:50 am.
You can spend a few minutes, an hour or as much time as you desire.
