How will you fill your God-shaped hole?
St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
Born in Burgundy, France, St.
Madeleine Sophie
received a
rigorous
education from
her older brother
Louis. She loved
to learn and grew
up to be an
excellent teacher. With the help of
Father Varin, she founded the
Society of the Sacred Heart, which
was dedicated to educating young
women. She took her final vows in
1802. In 1826, her society received
formal papal approval. She spent
the rest of her life founding
schools to teach children.
Seeing with new eyes
Sometimes we can do the right
It’s easy to be nice to people who
are nice to you or who are
considered “respectable”
company. Don’t be fooled by
outward appearances, though.
Everything done to our brothers
and sisters Jesus counts as done to
him. When you see someone you
want to avoid, remember he or she
is Christ in disguise and act
accordingly .
“Do not neglect hospitality, for
through it some
have unknowingly
entertained
angels” (Hebrews
13:2).

St. Augustine wrote, “You have
made us for yourself and our
hearts are restless until they find
their rest in Thee,” (Confessions,
Saint Augustine).
Humans are
created with a
longing for
something
infinitely good,
true, and beautiful
- God. If we try to
fill that longing
with things that
are not God, we
are unsatisfied.
Make room. We
pursue money,
friends, power, or
possessions, thinking that we will
be happy if we accumulate
enough. The problem is that
earthly rewards don’t last and
distract us from what does. King
Solomon could have chosen all the
riches, esteem, and power in the
world but rejected them because
they would distract him from God.
Value what lasts. “For the mind
that is set on the flesh is hostile to
God” (Romans 8:7). Pleasure makes
us feel good in
the moment but
fades so we
need more to
feel good.
Worse, pursuit
of pleasure can
lead to sin.
Pleasure is not
happiness.
Happiness
results when
God shares
himself with us
and we draw
close to him.
Grow in love. Having received
the gift of divine life, we must give
it to others. "Beloved, if God so loved
us, we also ought to love one
another" (1 John 4:11). When we
share God's life and love, we grow
in that very life and love.
Why do Catholics bless
themselves with holy water?
The practice of blessing
oneself with holy water
harkens back to the
washing rituals of the Old
Testament Jews, who had
to bathe before entering
the temple.
Today, when we bless
ourselves with holy
water, it brings to mind
our own baptism. It was
at our baptism that our
souls were washed clean
of original sin and we
were officially made
members of the Church.
We also received the gift
of faith. In blessing
ourselves, we renew our
baptismal promise.
Segundo Domingo de Pascua (Domingo de la Misericordia Domingo) ‐ 3 de abril de 2016
Abril de 2016
Descubriendo esperanza y gozo en la fe católica.
¿Cómo llenará el hueco de Dios?
Nacida en Borgoña, Francia,
santa Magdalena
Sofía fue
rigurosamente
educada por su
hermano Luis.
Le encantaba
aprender y se
convirtió en una maestra
extraordinaria. Con la ayuda
del padre Varín fundó la
Congregación del Sagrado
Corazón que se dedicó a la
educación de las jóvenes. Tomó
los votos solemnes en 1802. En
1826 la congregación recibió el
visto bueno formal del papado.
Pasó el resto de su vida
fundando escuelas para educar
a los niños.
Ver con ojos nuevos
Es fácil ser amables con los
que son amables con nosotros o
con quienes creemos que son
compañía “respetable”. Pero no
se deje engañar por las
apariencias. Todo lo que
hacemos por nuestros
hermanos y hermanas Jesús lo
siente como algo que le
hacemos a él. Cuando vea a
alguien que quiere evitar,
recuerde que esa persona es
Cristo disfrazado y actúe en
consecuencia.
“No olviden la
hospitalidad; gracias
a ella, algunos, sin
saberlo, hospedaron a
angeles” (Hebreos
13:2).

San Agustín escribió: “Nos has
creado para ti y nuestro corazón
andará siempre inquieto mientras no
descanse en ti” (San Agustín,
Confesiones). Los
seres humanos son
creados con una
querencia por algo
infinitamente bueno,
verdadero y bello:
Dios. Si intentamos
llenar esa querencia
con cosas que no son
Dios, nos sentimos
insatisfechos.
Hagan sitio.
Vamos tras el dinero,
amigos, poder o
posesiones, pensando
que seremos felices si
acumulamos lo suficiente. El problema
es que las recompensas terrenales no
duran y nos distraen de lo que dura. El
rey Salomón podría haber elegido
todas las riquezas, estima y poder del
mundo, pero rechazó todo porque
podían distraerlo de Dios.
Valoren lo que dura. “las tendencias
de la carne llevan al odio de Dios”
(Romanos 8:7). El placer hace que nos
sintamos bien en el momento, pero se
disipa así que
necesitamos más para
sentirnos bien. Peor
aún, la búsqueda del
placer puede
llevarnos al pecado. El
placer no es la
felicidad. La felicidad
llega cuando Dios se
comparte con
nosotros y nos
acercamos a él.
Crezcan en amor.
Debemos dar a los
demás el don de la
vida divina que hemos recibido.
“Queridos, si Dios nos ha amado de esta
manera, también nosotros debemos
amarnos unos a otros” (1 Juan 4:11).
Cuando compartimos la vida y el amor
de Dios, crecemos en esa misma vida
y en ese mismo amor.
¿Por qué se santiguan los
católicos con agua bendita?
La práctica de
santiguarse con agua
bendita data se remonta a
los rituales de ablución
del Antiguo Testamento,
en los que los judíos
tenían que lavarse antes
de entrar en el templo.
Hoy, cuando nos
santiguamos con agua
bendita, recordamos
nuestro bautismo. En
nuestro bautismo se nos
limpió el alma del pecado
original y nos convertimos
oficialmente en miembros
de la Iglesia. También
recibimos el don de la fe. Al
santiguarnos renovamos
las promesas del bautismo.
