“If two of you agree on earth
about anything for which they are to pray,
it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.”
— Matthew 18:19
“Si dos de ustedes se ponen de acuerdo para pedir algo,
sea lo que fuere, mi Padre celestial se los concederá”.
— Mateo 18:19
TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
REFLECTION BEFORE CONFESSION
Our Lord, the night before he was crucified, went into the
Garden of Olives to wait for the soldiers who were coming to take him. While he
waited there in the dark, he prayed for all the men and women and children that
have ever been or will be in the world.
He saw all these sins and asked that they might be laid on him; he asked that he may be punished for
them, just as if he had committed them himself. So frightful a penalty made him sweat great drops of
blood, which covered his face and the pain in his heart was like the pain of a dying man.
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE, WOULD YOU NOT HAVE DRAWN NEAR TO HIM AND BEGGED
HIS PARDON?
Fr. Moody

VIGESIMO TERCER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
NUESTRO SEÑOR, LA NOCHE ANTES DE SU CRUCIFIXION
Se recogió en el Huerto de los Olivos a esperar a los soldados que habían de
aprenderle. Y mientras ellos venían, Jesucristo esperaba y hacía oración en la oscuridad, por los
pecados de todos los hombres, mujeres y niños que habían vivido y que vivirían en el mundo.
Vió y pidió que pesaran sobre El sus pecados y que por ellos fuese El, castigado y que el castigo fuese
tan grande com si El lo hubiese cometido. Tan horrorosa pena le hizo sudar gotas grandes de sangre
que resbalaban por su rostro y su dolor fue semejante al de un hombre que va a morir.
¿SI ESTUVIERAS ALLI, NO TE HUBIESES ARRASTRADO HASTA EL LUGAR DONDE SE
ENCONTRABA JESUS Y LE HUBIERAS PEDIDO PERDON?

SEPTEMBER 7, 2014
Reflecting on God’s Word
During the first few months of marriage, the
honeymoon period, the one we love may seem perfect
to us. He or she can do nothing wrong. Soon, though,
reality sets in and we start accumulating hurts. We
may hurt one another knowingly or unknowingly. It’s
much the same in a family or a community. Sooner or
later our love for one another is tested by sin and
human weakness. Will we put up with the other’s
behavior or confront it? Which choice reflects true
love?
Today Paul recalls some signs of true love; he
reminds us what those who love will not do. The other
Scriptures bring out some of the surprising signs of
true love. Loving one another just might involve
nagging, confronting, fighting, or telling family
secrets. It will certainly involve mutual respect and
acceptance, along with a healthy dose of prayer for
each other. And true love will seek constantly to call
forth the best in the ones we love.—Virginia Stillwell

We might hope for a change of heart from someone
we love or a member of our community. But first we
must change our own hearts by forgiving and accepting the other in true love. True love begins with recognizing our own “faults” and softening our hearts toward the ones we love.

MASS SCHEDULE
Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
Durante los primeros meses de casados, el per-
íodo de la luna de miel, nuestro cónyuge puede
parecernos perfecto. Él o ella no puede hacer nada que
esté mal. Pronto, sin embargo, llega la realidad y empezamos a acumular heridas. Podemos herirnos mutuamente a propósito o sin proponérnoslo. Es básicamente lo que sucede en una familia o en una comunidad. Tarde o temprano nuestro amor de los unos
por los otros se pone a prueba por el pecado y la debilidad humana. ¿Soportaremos el comportamiento de
otras personas o las confrontaremos? ¿Cuál de las dos
opciones refleja el verdadero amor?
Hoy Pablo nos recuerda algunos signos del
amor verdadero al advertirnos lo que no harán
aquellos que aman. Las otras Escrituras hacen notar
algunos signos sorprendentes del amor verdadero. En
el amor de los unos a los otros pudieran estar
presentes el atosigar, confrontar, pelear o contar
secretos familiares. Ciertamente estará presente el
respeto y la aceptación mutua junto a una dosis
saludable de oración de los unos por los otros. Y el
amor verdadero tratará constantemente de buscar lo
mejor en las personas que amamos. —Virginia Stillwell

WEEK IN CHURCH IN MEMORY OF
ALICIA MACHADO
Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
Pudiéramos esperar que alguien que amamos o un
miembro de nuestra comunidad tengan un cambio de
actitud. Pero primero debemos cambiar nuestra propia
actitud al perdonar y aceptar a la otra persona con
verdadero amor. El verdadero amor comienza por
reconocer nuestras propias “faltas” y suavizar nuestro
corazón hacia las personas que amamos.
