FOR YOUR REFLECTION… We like spectacular things and great events. If there are miracles, they should not be tiny, but rather large, spectacular and amazing. If we have to do something for God, we hope that it is heroic and noteworthy, but God's way is very different. God does not ask for sacrifices, but hearts. He does not ask for amazing feats, but simply the meeting of two people who know how to recognize and celebrate God’s presence among them. Daily life is where we encounter the amazing fact that God walks with us and becomes one of us. In the giving of the sincere heart is where we find the favor of God. Sometimes, that simple act means more effort and more dedication than the dazzling feat, because a dazzling feat happens immediately, but quickly disappears. However, the daily surrender, the saying yes to God as Mary did, the relationship and the service of those near us requires our whole heart, attention and love, in good and bad moments. The Incarnation of the Son of God in Mary is amazing; but it is not a passing and noisy act. Elizabeth’s pregnancy at a late age is wonderful and miraculous; but it is because Elizabeth recognizes where she comes from and is willing to give her son to the service of God. The great favors that God gives us are in themselves admirable; but they do not have to be bright or noisy. The grateful heart sees them in all their greatness.
PARA SU REFLEXIÓN… Nos gustan las cosas espectaculares y los grandes eventos. Si hay milagros, no deberían ser pequeñitos, sino bien grandes, espectaculares, asombrosos. Si tenemos que hacer algo por Dios, que sea heroico y llamativo; pero, la forma de actuar de Dios es muy distinta. No pide sacrificios, sino corazones. No pide proezas asombrosas, sino simplemente el encuentro de dos personas que saben reconocer, celebrar y festejar la presencia del Señor entre ellas. En la vida diaria es donde podemos encontrar el hecho asombroso de un Dios que camina con nosotros y se hace uno de nosotros. En la entrega del corazón sincero es donde encontramos el favor de Dios. A veces, ese acto sencillo puede suponer más esfuerzo y más entrega que el hecho deslumbrante, porque un hecho deslumbrante pasa enseguida, con un rápido fulgor. Sin embargo, la entrega diaria, el decir sí a Dios como María, la relación y el servicio a los cercanos piden todo el corazón, la atención y el amor diariamente, en momentos buenos y malos. La Encarnación del Hijo de Dios en María es asombrosa; pero no es un acto pasajero y ruidoso. El embarazo de Isabel a una edad tardía es maravilloso y milagroso; pero lo es porque Isabel reconoce de dónde viene y está dispuesta a entregar a su hijo al servicio de Dios. Los grandes favores que Dios nos hace son en sí mismos admirables; pero no tienen por qué ser fulgurantes o ruidosos. El corazón agradecido los ve en toda su grandeza.

TO PONDER…
What thanks or favors do you appreciate the most?
Are they miracles or are they rather daily presences, in your
normal life, that give you strength and peace?
PARA PENSAR…
¿Qué gracias o favores aprecias más?
¿Son milagros o se trata más bien de presencias diarias,
en tu vida normal, que te dan fuerza y paz?

NUESTRA MAYORDOMÍA
El evangelio de hoy nos habla de la Virgen María, embarazada,
apourada para visitor a su prima Isabel. Como modelo de
corresponsabilidad, ella que se había entregado para dar a luz al Salvador, también dio de su tiempo
y amor a otros.
OUR STEWARDSHIP The gospel today tells us of the
Virgin Mary, pregnant and going to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Mary is the
model of selflessness, as one pregnant with the Savior, she also
gave of her time and love to others.
EL DIÁCONO FÉLIX HERNÁNDEZ
El diácono Félix Hernández ha
optado por dejar el ministerio
diaconal, efectivo inmediatamente.
Esto significa que ya no usará el
título “diácono” ni presidirá en
bautismos, matrimonios, funerales
o quinceañeras. Le agradecemos
por su servicio a nuestra parroquia
y sabemos que esta decisión no le
fue fácil tomar. Es necesario
mostrarle que él es un miembro
amado, importante y apreciado
para nuestra comunidad de fe.
Podemos mostrarle nuestro aprecio
al no participar en rumores o
chismes, y al tenerlo a él y a su
familia en nuestras oraciones. Si
usted tiene alguna pregunta, favor
de comunicarse con Félix. Gracias
por su comprensión.
