“FOLLOW ME”
“As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man
named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said
to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed
him…” (Matthew 9,9-13).
It is amazing to see the Lord’s way of calling his
disciples to follow him and to have a share in his
work of saving souls. He doesn’t simply limit
himself to choosing only the draft pick favorites, as
it were, for his winning team. Rather he goes so far
as taking delight in making use of those, who by
worldly standards may be considered to be on the
disabled list, or even disqualified. It is such a
consoling fact to know that in order to continue his
work in the Church today, Jesus counts on ordinary
people like you and me.
What was that joyful memory of being called
personally by Christ, to walk with him, and to work
with him? The time, the place, the circumstances...
What might entail the challenges of getting up and
leaving behind whatever you are doing today, to
follow him, and to learn from his loving way?
What would your response to the Lord be today,
amidst all your toil and labor, as he once again
invites you to learn the meaning of the words, 'I
desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call
the righteous but sinners?"
-Fr. Dave
Intentions of Pope Benedict XVI for the Month of June
GENERAL: Friendship with Christ. That all Christians may cultivate a deep
and personal friendship with Christ so to communicate the strength of his love to
every person they meet.
MISSION: International Eucharist Congress. That the International
Eucharistic Congress in Quebec may lead to greater understanding that the
Eucharist is the heart of the Church and the source of evangelization.

“SIGUEME”
¿Cuál es aquella alegre
memoria en la que ha
sido llamado personalmente por Jesús para
caminar con el y trabajar con el? La hora, el
momento, las circunstancias…
¿Qué significaría hoy
en día, el desafío de
levantarse y dejar atrás
lo que sea que usted
esta haciendo hoy, para seguirlo a él y para
aprender de su manera
amorosa?
“Jesús, al irse de allí, vio a un hombre llamado Mateo en su puesto de cobrador de impuestos, y le dijo:
“Sígueme.” Mateo se levanto y lo siguió…” (Mateo
9, 9-13).
Es increíble ver la manera del Señor de pedir a sus
discípulos que lo sigan y tener una participación en
su trabajo para salvar a las almas. El simplemente no
se limita solo a seleccionar a los jugadores favoritos,
como si se tratase de su equipo ganador. Aún mejor,
él llega tan lejos al punto de deleitarse con hacer uso
de aquellos, que para estándares mundanos, serían
considerados de la lista de deshabilitados, o hasta
descalificados. Es un hecho tan consolador, el saber
que para continuar su trabajo hoy en la Iglesia, Jesús
cuenta con personas como usted y yo.
¿Cuál sería su respuesta hoy al Señor, en
medio de su trabajo
duro y su labor, mientras que él una vez
mas lo invita a aprender el significado de
las palabras: “Me gusta la misericordia más
que las ofrendas. Pues
no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores?”
-Padre David
“No hay nada más hermoso, que encontrar a Cristo
y comunicarlo a todos” ( Benedicto XVI)
