“TOGETHER BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD”
.
«No one can come to me unless he is drawn by the Father»
Today, the Gospel shows how puzzled Jesus’ compatriots were when in his presence: «This man is the son
of Joseph, isn’t he? We know his father and mother. How can he say that he has come from heaven?» (Jn 6:42).
The life of Jesus amongst his own people had been so normal that, when He began with the proclamation of the
Kingdom, those who knew him were shocked at what He was saying.
What Father was Jesus referring to, whom nobody had ever seen before? Which could be that living bread
coming from heaven that those who eat of it would live forever? He denied it was the manna in the desert because
those who ate it also died. «The bread I shall give is my flesh and I will give it for the life of the world» (Jn 6:51).
Could his flesh be an aliment for us? The baffling doubts Jesus was spreading amongst the Jews could also embarrass us should we not be able to answer a question basic for our Christian life: Who is Jesus?
Many men and women before us have asked themselves the same question, have personally answered it,
have gone to Jesus, have followed him and now they enjoy an endless life full of love. And those who now may
come to Jesus, He will raise them up on the last day. (cf. Jn 6:44). John Cassian exhorted his monks by telling them:
«‘Come close to God, and He will come close to you’, because ‘nobody can come to Jesus unless he is drawn by
the Father who sent Him’ (...). In the Gospel we listen to the Lord inviting us to join Him: ‘You who are burdened
and overwhelmed, come to me and I will make you rest’». Let us welcome the Word of the Gospel that every day
brings us nearer to Jesus; let us welcome the invitation of the very Gospel to enter into communion with Him by
eating his flesh, because «This is the true food, Christ’s flesh, which being Word has become flesh, as it is said ‘And
the Word became flesh’» (Origenes).

pope francis call
Some kind of revelation of the Almighty must have had Pope Francis! Pope asks priests to open the doors of their churches and invite people
to pray the rosary and pray intensely before the tabernacle. He prays that
we go to our parishes or nearest Church. He alerted the world saying: “The
war in the Middle East and now in Ukraine and Crimea will become very
serious and will extend”. To stop them, we must pray to God to bestow His
mercy upon the world and that the Holy Spirit enlighten the rulers to be
aware of good and evil and fight together for peace and love. Ask priests
to be more humble, and heed the call of their parishioners when they need
them. Also, ask priests that the Eucharist be simple and with love. Pray,
pray, pray. “All we will unite in prayer every day. Wherever you are in
the world, at your preferred time, leave everything and pray 3 times the
Our Father and 3 Hail Mary. Pray for God to send his Holy Spirit upon the
earth.

RECORDATORIO. Durante el verano, muchas personas se van por un
periodo de tiempo para renovarse y disfrutar. Por otro lado, las obligaciones financieras de la parroquia las tenemos todo el año. Les recordamos
que usen sus sobres durante el verano. Su ayuda es muy apreciada y
necesitada.
EL PAPA FRANCISCO PIDE
Alguna revelación del Altísimo debe haber tenido el Papa Francisco!
El Papa pide a los sacerdotes abrir las puertas de sus iglesias e invitar a la
gente a rezar el Santo Rosario y rezar intensamente ante el Sagrario. Nos
ruega que acudamos a nuestras parroquias o Iglesia más cercana.
Alertó al mundo diciendo: “La guerra en el Oriente Medio y ahora también
en Ucrania y Crimea se convertirán en algo muy serio y se extenderán”.
Para detenerlas, debemos orar a Dios para que derrame su Misericordia
sobre el mundo y que el Espíritu Santo ilumine a los gobernantes a tener
conciencia del bien y del mal y luchen unidos por la paz y el amor. Le pide
a los sacerdotes ser más humildes, y atender el llamado de sus feligreses
cuando lo necesiten.También le pide a los sacerdotes que la Eucaristía sea
sencilla y con amor. Oren, oren, oren. “Todos nos uniremos en oración
todos los días. Donde quiera que estés en el mundo, a tu hora preferida,
deja todo y reza 3 veces el Padre Nuestro y 3 Ave Maria. Oración para que
Dios envíe su Espíritu Santo sobre la tierra.

ORACION POR LOS SACERDOTES
Jesús, Sacerdote eterno, guarda a estos siervos en el recinto de tu Corazón, donde nadie pueda hacerles daño alguno; guarda inmaculadas sus manos consagradas que a
diario tocan tu Sagrado Cuerpo; guarda sin mancha esos
corazones sellados con el sublime Sacerdocio; haz tu santo
amor los envuelva y separe del contacto del mundo Bendice
sus trabajos con frutos abundantes y sean las almas por ellos dirigidas y administradas, su consuelo y gozo aquí en la
tierra y después su hermosa corona en el Cielo.
“San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra la perversidad y asechanzas del demonio. Reprímele Dios, pedimos
suplicantes, y tú Príncipe de la Milicia
Celestial, arroja al infierno con el
divino poder, a Satanás y a los otros
espíritus malignos que andan dispersos
por el mundo para la perdición de las
almas. Amén.”
