ORACION
CAMPAÑA CATOLICA ANUAL
del 2013
Amadísimo Dios, nos detenemos delante de ti, como
fieles servidores con la misión de ayudar a llevar la Buenas Nuevas de Jesús por todo Brooklyn y Queens
Bendice nuestra Diócesis y fortalece nuestra Fe, mientras seguimos enfrentando los retos del futuro y sirviendo las necesidades de Tu pueblo...
Bendícenos y motívanos a compartir una porción de
nuestro recursos económicos con aquellos que están en
necesidad de nuestra ayuda a través de la Campaña
Anual Católica del 2013
RENOVANDO NUESTRA FE A TRAVES DE
ACTOS DE CARIDAD
Ayúdanos a servir nuestra Iglesia, nuestras comunidades
y nuestro mundo.
Llena nuestras mentes con Tu verdad y nuestros corazones con Tu Amor, para que podamos estar unidos como
comunidad de Fe.
Hacemos esto Señor. Como señal de nuestro amor y en
agradecimiento por las tantas bendiciones que hemos
recibido a través de Cristo Nuestro Señor.
AMEN
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muchas naciones latinoamericanas son beneficiadas
por organizaciones caritativas extranjeras. Pero estas organizaciones no siempre pueden suplir las necesidades de los
pueblos latinoamericanos, por eso los obispos de Chile
buscaron la manera de motivar a su pueblo para que ayude
a sus propios desafortunados. En 1982 los obispos chilenos crearon una nueva practica cuaresmal llamada la Campaña de Fraternidad. Esta Campaña se motiva en las observancias penitenciales de la oración, el ayuno y la caridad.
Esta práctica de la Iglesia chilena se basa en la tradición cristiana de las obras de caridad y la acción social. La
Campaña de Fraternidad también se funda en la espiritualidad cristiana de la hermandad. Los que tienen la manera
de ayudar han compartido a través de los proyectos de esta
obra con jóvenes en riesgo social, madres solteras, ancianos, prisioneros, y otros grupos marginados. Esto se hace
en un espíritu de mutualidad entre los hijos e hijas del
creador.
Esta campaña cuaresmal nos desafía a buscar la manera
de ayudar a los pobres no como personas necesitada sino
como hermanas y hermanos en Cristo a los cual debemos
nuestra cooperación para mejorar sus vidas. Ellos en torno
son la presencia de Cristo quien se encuentra en los más
