19TH Annotation Retreat
And this week from the office…
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger announcing peace, of the messenger of the good news,
who proclaims salvation…”(Is. 52:7)
Last weekend we said farewell to two young members of our
parish community: Miguel and Estefany. Most of us know
them well. They have decided to embark on a missionary
experience and discern their vocation with the help and
supervision of the Missionaries Servants of the Word (Sr.
Sara’s religious community). Some parishioners have asked
me: “What are they going to do?” Today I am going to write
about what this experience is all about.
First we need to understand a little more about the Missionary
Servants of the Word (MSP). The MSP is a religious
community that is formed by priests and religious sisters.
They were founded by Fr. Luis Butera Vullo, a missionary
priest from Italy, who was sent to Mexico in 1963. In 1984, he
founded the Missionary Servants of the Word. One of the
goals is to evangelize people with God’s word so they can
evangelize others. Today they are present in more the fifteen
countries. Miguel and Estefany will begin their missionary
journey in California. They will remain there for eight months.
During that time they will receive spiritual, human, intellectual
and pastoral formation in accordance with the vision of
Missionary Servants of the Word to prepare them for their
parish assignments. Afterwards, they can be assigned
anywhere their community has a need for missionaries either
here in the United States or around the world. Miguel and
Estefany will remain in their assignments for one year. During
that time they will teach bible classes, work with the youth and
proclaim the Word of God going from door to door. After this
time of preparation and missionary work, which is completed
over a period of twenty months, they will return to California
to discern if they feel called to pursue the priestly and religious
life. If they feel called, they will continue their formation with
the MSP or another religious community or diocese, or they
may come back to us transformed anew by God’s word.
Let us keep in our prayers Miguel and Estefany. May God
protect them, guide them and strengthen them to continue to
respond to God’s will.
In Christ,
Father Marcos

Vigesimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
18 de octubre de 2014
En esta semana desde la Oficina Parroquial…
¡Qué hermosos son sobre los montes los pies del que trae buenas
nuevas, del que anuncia la paz, del que trae las buenas nuevas de
gozo, del que anuncia la salvación…” (Is. 52; 7)
La semana pasada les dimos el adiós a dos jóvenes de nuestra
parroquia: Miguel y Estefany. Ellos han decidido embarcarse en una
aventura misionera y discernir su vocación con la ayuda y
supervisión de los Siervos Misioneros de la Palabra (la comunidad
religiosa de la Hermana Sara). Algunos feligreses me han
preguntado: "¿Qué es lo que van a hacer?" Hoy voy a escribir uno
poco de lo que se trata esta experiencia misionera.
En primer lugar ocupamos conocer un poco más sobre la comunidad
de los Misioneros Servidores de la Palabra (MSP). El MSP es una
comunidad religiosa formada por sacerdotes y religiosas. Esta
comunidad fue fundada por el Pbro. Luis Butera Vullo, un sacerdote
misionero de Italia, que fue enviado a México en 1963. En 1984,
fundó los Misioneros Siervos de la Palabra. Uno de los objetivos es
evangelizar a los laicos para que ellos evangelicen a otros. Miguel y
Estefany comenzarán su experiencia misionera en California. Ellos
permanecerán allí durante ocho meses. Durante ese tiempo ellos
recibirán formación espiritual, humana, intelectual y pastoral, de
acuerdo al carisma de los Misioneros Servidores de la Palabra para
prepararlos para sus destinos parroquiales. Posteriormente, se les
enviara a alguna parroquia ya sea aquí en los Estados Unidos o a otro
país para que vivan su experiencia misionera. Miguel y Estefany
permanecerán en sus destinos parroquiales por un año. Durante ese
tiempo van a dar clases de biblia, trabajar con los jóvenes y
proclamar la Palabra de Dios de puerta en puerta. Después de este
tiempo de preparación y trabajo misionero, ellos volverán a
California para discernir si se sienten llamados a seguir en la vida
sacerdotal y religiosa. Si ellos se sienten llamados, continuarán su
formación con el MSP u otra comunidad religiosa u otra diócesis, o
regresaran con nosotros transformado por la palabra de Dios.
Tengamos presentes en nuestras oraciones a Miguel y Estefany. Que
Dios los proteja, los guíe y los fortalezca para seguir respondiendo a
la voluntad de Dios.
Su servidor en Jesucristo,
Padre Marcos

29º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Dios sigue actuando en la historia. El Espíritu Santo sigue
moviendo los corazones de los cristianos como en la primera
comunidad cristiana de Tesalónica; la comunidad era ejemplar por
su fe, su caridad y esperanza. Si seguimos su ejemplo seremos
capaces en la actualidad de lograr un equilibrio entre Dios y el
César. Entre Dios y los impuestos que cada año debemos pagar al
gobierno. Por un decir, la invitación de Dios ante todo esto es que la
política no es lo importante sino que dentro de ella se respete al ser
humano y su dignidad.
Balance entre el ser humano y lo divino es lo que Jesús en el
Evangelio nos enseña. Los fariseos no perdían el tiempo en poner a
prueba a Jesús, y comprometerlo con sus respuestas. Unidos con
unos partidarios de Herodes, inician la conversación buscando como
acusarlo y deshacerse de él lo antes posible. Sus palabras de
alabanza al inicio de las preguntas se convierten en trampa y ponen a
prueba la honradez de Jesús. "Maestro, sabemos que eres sincero y
enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y que nada te arredra, porque
no buscas el favor de nadie. Dinos, pues, qué piensas". La pregunta:
"¿Es lícito o no pagar el tributo al César?" Jesús es acertado en su
respuesta, dando una salida brillante. ¡Denuncia su hipocresía! La
ambición de los dirigentes, su amor al dinero, facilita el dominio de
los romanos sobre los pobres de Israel, por lo tanto, esto impide que
den un verdadero culto a Dios, alejándose de la honestidad y
solidaridad con los que más sufren. ¿Crees que sucede esto ahora?
¿Dónde lo identificas? ¿Qué es lo que hay que devolver a Dios?
