A special thanks to our pastor, Fr. Michael and the parish staff and volunteers. Your love and dedi-cation to Incarnation Church has been a true inspiration for me. Please keep me in your prayers and be assured of my prayers always. Once again thank you and may God continue to bless each of you. Fr. Jose

Colecta Peter’s Pence 2011

Hoy apoyamos al Santo Padre en sus labores caritativas. La Colecta Peter’s Pence se realizará hoy en todo el mundo para ayudar a las personas más necesitadas: a las víctimas de guerra, de opresión y de desastres naturales y a otras que necesitan ayuda de emergencia. El Papa Benedicto XVI nos ha dicho que “ es necesario que todas las

personas actúen animadas por el auténtico espíritu de paz” (Homilía, 1° de enero de 2011). Así estaremos esparciendo la paz de Cristo por el mundo—por favor, sean generosos en la Colecta de hoy. Este viernes se celebra la fiesta del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que vuelve a reflexionar sobre el inmenso amor de Dios y recuerda a las familias el modo en que deben tratarse unos a otros. Muchas familias hispanas tienen la costumbre de entronizar el Sagrado Corazón en sus casas como signo de su deseo de que en ellas reine el amor. El sábado se celebra el Inmaculado Corazón de María.

El Santísimo Cuerpo y la Santísima Sangre de Cristo

26 de junio de 2011 No sólo de pan vive el hombre, sino también de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios.

— Deuteronomio 8:3b

EXPOSICIÓN DEL SANTÍSIMO SACRAMENTO

Tenemos la Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento todos los primeros viernes aquí en Nuestra Parroquia de 8:30am hasta las 6:15pm en la capilla y de 7:30pm a 4:30am para luego concluir con la Misa a las 5:00am. Esta es una excelente oportunidad para que nos acompañen en oración. Por favor procuren mantener un ambiente de ORACIÓN y

SILENCIO durante la Exposición en la capilla.

Reflexiones para la homilía

N o hay reunión o fiesta en la que no haya algo que comer y beber. Parece que los seres humanos no nos podemos

relacionar sin ir hasta lo más fundamental de la vida diaria: el alimento. Es ahí donde nos unimos sin importar las diferencias que puedan existir entre nosotros. Todos comemos. Cuando compartimos una comida, parece que los desacuerdos se desvanecen y encontramos una base común donde podemos ser hermanos y amigos.

En los relatos del evangelio vemos cómo frecuentemente se presenta a Jesús comiendo: con sus discípulos, en casa de sus amigos, en la llanura multiplicando los panes y los peces para que todos puedan comer. Y a menudo también Jesús habla del reino de Dios en términos de un gran banquete o fiesta de bodas. La imagen de la comida, tan familiar para todos, no importa de qué cultura o raza sean, es algo comprensible y querido. No amenaza a nadie e invita a todos.

Se dice, por otro lado, que somos lo que comemos. Es, en cierto modo, una explicación científica, pero que Jesús aprovecha para hacer incluso más fuerte la realidad de su entrega en la Eucaristía.

Por eso es muy apropiado que Jesús quisiera utilizar una comida para dársenos enteramente. El darse en cuerpo y alma es la entrega más completa y perfecta que nadie pueda hacer. Y eso es lo que hace Jesús en la Eucaristía. Se nos da en cuerpo y sangre para que podamos ser lo que comemos: El Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor. Si somos el Cuerpo del Señor, nos entregamos en amor a Él y como él a todos. No es fácil entregarlo todo: cuerpo y alma. Exige un olvido total de sí mismo, una flexibilidad extraordinaria para dejar las cosas propias y prestar atención a las necesidades de los demás, una apasionada disponibilidad para ir a donde sea necesario y hacer lo que sea necesario. No es cómodo, no es fácil. Pero es lo único que da vida verdadera. Porque alimenta a los demás. Para la reflexión ¿De qué maneras puedo ser pan para otros? ¿Cómo me acerco a la Eucaristía? ¿Cómo son nuestras comidas en la casa?

Colecta de Alimentos Enlatados

El próximo fin de semana estaremos colectando productos enlatados para el Banco de Alimentos de la Iglesia Luterana de Our Savior, el cual ayuda a muchas familias de esta área de Town ‘N Country. ¡Gracias!

FIESTA DE LA FE Pan

El pan es un alimento ordinario, es propio de ricos y pobres. Hay que trabajar para conseguirlo. Así como es de real, tiene mucho de simbólico. Papá y mamá se alegran en poder llevar a casa el pan de los hijos, para compartirlo con todos, indistintamente de su grado de bondad. Para los judíos del Mediterráneo, el pan, mezclado con aceite era el elemento más común de su alimentación. El pan de trigo lo comían los ricos, mientras que los pobres comían el pan de cebada. Aún así, el pan es sabroso y lleva en él la providencia divina que cuida de nosotros. Se recibe, incluso, de manos de los pobres, quienes comparten su propio pan porque saben lo que es carecer de él. Al compartirlo, cumplimos el mandato de Jesús: “tomen y coman”. Por eso es que nuestro pan se ha de poner en la mesa, para ser compartido, sólo así tiene sentido. Alimentados todos del mismo pan, en la misma mesa, esperando la misma promesa. Comer o no comer. —Miguel Arias, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

EL SOSTÉN DE LA VIDA El pan es el sostén de la vida.—Dicho inglés LA IGLESIA Y EL ESPÍRITU Donde está la Iglesia, allí está el Espíritu de Dios; y donde está el Espíritu de Dios, allí está la Iglesia y toda gracia.—San Irineo
