THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
WHY DO CATHOLICS ADORE MARY?
We Catholics do not adore the Blessed Mother.
We honor her because she is the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God. It is
God Himself, who first honored Mary, when God chose her to be the
Mother of Jesus. The veneration is different from the veneration and
adoration of God, our Creator. Mary is honored as the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Mary said: “My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord. My Spirit finds joy in God
my Savior” (LK 1: 46-47).
We believe that God saved Mary from the stain of original sin at the moment of her
Conception. God chose the Blessed Virgin Mary in His plan for the salvation of the
world. God sent his Son Jesus into the world. Jesus took on flesh and He became a man
like us.
We Catholics honor the Blessed Virgin Mary because she is the Mother of Jesus. Our
Blessed Mother has a prophetic role and she comes to the world through apparitions, to
deliver the message from God.
Fr. Moody

LA ASCENSION DEL SEÑOR
¿POR QUE ADORAMOS A MARIA?
Los católicos no adoramos a María. Nosotros la veneramos porque ella es la
Madre de Dios. La Madre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
La veneración a la Virgen María, es completamente diferente de la adoración de Dios.
Los católicos creemos que María debido a su papel exaltado es la más superior de las
criaturas de Dios. Pero claro está, como cualquier otro ser humano, Ella tenía que ser
salvada por la misericordia de Dios. Ella misma dijo:
“Y mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador” (LK. 1).
Nosotros creemos que Dios al hacerse hombre, deseaba involucrar al ser humano en su
plan de salvación. María era una persona clave para éste propósito, por lo tanto esta es la
razón por la cual los católicos la honramos tan profundamente.
Fr. Moody

Reflecting on God’s Word
These days most corporations and churches
have vision and mission statements. Often they
begin with a model vision that the institution
strives to live up to. They go on to state what the
institution seeks to do—how it puts its vision into
practice. A parish vision and mission statement
might say: “We are the Body of Christ. Utilizing
the gifts of each member, we collaborate to bring
more and more people into God’s kingdom of
freedom, justice, holiness, and love.”
On this feast we are given the ultimate vision
and mission statement for the Church. It goes
something like this: Christ is now working with
and for us “at the right hand of God” (Mark
16:19). Through the power of the Holy Spirit we
are to be Christ’s witnesses “to the ends of the
earth” (Acts 1:8). We seek to do so by
“proclaiming the gospel to every creature” (Mark
16:15) and “building up the body of Christ, until
we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge
of the Son of God” (Ephesians 4:12–13).

Living God’s Word
In today’s readings, Christ leaves his “corporation,”
the church, and trusts the “employees,” his disciples,
to run things in his absence. Considering the twothousand-year history of the Church, many might
question the wisdom of his decision! Yet, Christ knew
that the Spirit would always guide the Church in continuing his messianic mission.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
En la actualidad la mayoría de las empresas e
Iglesias tienen declaraciones de visión y de misión. Con frecuencia comienzan con un modelo de
visión que la institución se esfuerza en poner en
práctica. Después declaran lo que la institución
planea hacer, o sea, cómo pondrán la visión en
práctica. La declaración de visión y misión de
una parroquia pudiera decir así: “Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo. Utilizamos los dones de todos y cada
uno de los miembros con el fin de contribuir a
que más y más personas lleguen al reino de Dios,
el reino de libertad, de justicia, de santidad y de
amor”.
En esta fiesta se nos da la definitiva declaración
de visión y misión de la Iglesia. Dice más o menos
así: Cristo está ahora trabajando con nosotros y
por nosotros “a la derecha de Dios” (Marcos 16,
19). Por el poder del Espíritu Santo tenemos que
ser testigos “hasta los extremos de la tierra” (Hechos 1, 8). Lograremos esto proclamando
“la buena noticia a toda criatura” (Marcos 16,
15) “y para la edificación del cuerpo de Cristo,
hasta que lleguemos todos a la unidad de la fe y
del pleno conocimiento del Hijo de Dios” (Efesios
4, 12–13). —Virginia Stillwell Derechos de autor © 2014, World Library Publications.

OUR SANCTUARY LIGHT BURNS THIS
WEEK IN CHURCH FOR THE GOOD
HEALTH OF CLARISA MERLE
Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
En las lecturas de hoy Cristo deja su “empresa”, la
Iglesia, y confía a sus “empleados”, los discípulos, la
obra que deben hacer en su ausencia. Si consideramos la historia de la Iglesia en los dos mil años pasados ¡muchos dudarían sobre la sabiduría de esta decisión! Sin embargo, Cristo sabía que en la continuidad
de su misión profética el Espíritu siempre guiaría a la
Iglesia. Derechos de autor © 2014, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos
