Dear Friends,
Throughout our lives we seek opportunies to gain a beDer understanding of ourselves,
of others and of God. No wonder we read in the Catholic Catechism: “The desire for God
is wriDen in the human heart” (ccc 27).
St. Augusne described this “desire for God” as a holy desire. The Second Vacan Council reminds us that this desire to communicate with God “is addressed to human beings
as soon as we come into being.”
Perhaps the most beauful image of man reaching out to communicate with God his
creator is Michelangelo’s fresco on the ceiling in the Sisne Chapel. Here we see Adam
straining to touch the fingerp of God as he did before the fall of grace in the Garden of
Eden. God likewise reaches out to touch the creature he made in his own image. In this
painng we also see a part of God’s intrinsic nature, his desire to reach out to us in love.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI observed in one of his Sunday homilies on the Prodigal Son
that “like a good father, God desires the best for humanity, which happens to be God
himself.” In other words, God desires us. God seeks us. God goes out of his way to embrace us. This is one of my favorite images of the God the Father, reaching out for his
lost son, looking for him, searching for him.
In the gospel today Jesus instructed his disciples to ‘pray always.’ What did Jesus mean
by praying always? St. Augusne goes on to define the essence of prayer as “a desire!”
Like love, our desire for God should be constant.
Prayer is like love, we cannot measure desire and me. A mother doesn’t ask how oPen
she should love her child, or a husband how much he should love his wife. Our desire to
love is constant, it is the same way with prayer.
Someone once said, “Praying for a long me is not the same thing as kneeling or folding
your hands for a long me. In consists rather in awakening a constant and devout impulse of the heart toward him whom we invoke.” Prayer is a direcon of our heart that
connues throughout the day.
Although we desire in our hearts to be in prayer united with Christ during each day,
there are mes when we need to stop from our business and turn toward God in a more
focused way to offer prayer and to listen to his voice. Jesus and his disciples would stop
at least three mes a day and turn towards the temple and pray. This can be in the form
of morning prayer or evening prayer, the rosary, daily Mass, or silent prayer.
But for us Catholic Chrisans, we can never forget the importance of the special day the
Church has set aside from the beginning of its existence, to remember, to give thanks, to
celebrate, and to pray: Sunday.
“The Chrisan cannot live without the Sunday Eucharist. Do you not know that the
Chrisan exists for the Eucharist and the Eucharist for the Chrisan?”
(St. Saturnius 305)
God bless you,
Fr. John

Queridos Amigos,
En el transcurso de nuestra vida buscamos oportunidades de entendernos
mejor a nosotros mismos, a los demás y a Dios. Por tal razón leemos en el Catecismo católico: «El deseo de Dios está inscrito en el corazón del hombre» (CIC
27). San Agusan describió este «deseo de Dios» como un santo deseo. El Segundo Concilio Vacano nos recuerda que «el hombre es invitado al diálogo
con Dios desde su nacimiento».
Tal vez la más bella imagen del hombre intentando comunicarse con Dios su
creador es el fresco de Miguel Angel en el techo de la Capilla Sixna. En ella
vemos a Adán esforzándose para tocar la punta del dedo de Dios, tal como lo
hacía antes de la caída de la gracia en el Jardín del Edén. De la misma manera,
Dios alcanza a tocar la criatura que hizo a su propia imagen. En esta pintura
también vemos una parte de la naturaleza intrínseca de Dios: su deseo de alcanzarnos en amor. El Papa Emérito Benedicto XVI observó en una de sus homilías dominicales sobre el Hijo Pródigo que «como buen padre, Dios desea lo
mejor para la humanidad, lo cual resulta ser Dios mismo». En otras palabras,
Dios nos desea. Dios nos busca. Dios se toma la molesa para acogernos. Esta
es una de mis imágenes favoritas de Dios Padre, quien intenta alcanzar a su hijo
perdido, y lo busca.
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús instruye a sus discípulos a «orar siempre». ¿Qué
quiso decir Jesús con esto? ¡San Agusan procede a definir la esencia de la
oración como «un deseo»! Al igual que el amor, neustro deseo por Dios debe
ser constante. La oración es como el amor; no podemos medir el deseo con el
empo. Una madre nunca pregunta cuán a menudo debe de amar a su hijo, y
un esposo nunca pregunta cuán a menudo amar a su esposa. Nuestro deseo de
amar es constante, y lo mismo es cierto con la oración.
Una persona dijo una vez: «El orar por un largo empo no es lo mismo que arrodillarse o juntar las manos por un largo empo. Consiste en avivar un impulso
constante y devoto en el corazón hacia aquel a quien invocamos». La oración
es la dirección de nuestro corazón, la cual connúa durante todo el día. Aunque
deseamos en nuestro corazón el estar unidos con Cristo en la oración durante
cada día, hay veces en las cuales debemos de dejar de hacer lo que normalmente hacemos y volvernos hacia Dios en una manera más enfocada para ofrecer oración y escuchar su voz. Jesús y sus discípulos tomaban un empo al
menos tres veces al día y miraban hacia el templo para orar. Esto puede tomar
la forma de la oración matuna o la oración vesperna, el rosario, la Misa diaria, o la oración silenciosa.
Mas para nosotros católicos crisanos, nunca podemos olvidar la importancia
del día especial que la Iglesia ha separado desde el comienzo de su existencia
para recordar, dar gracias, celebrar y orar: el domingo. «El crisano no puede
vivir sin la Eucarisaa dominical. ¿No sabes que el crisano existe para la Eucarisaa y la Eucarisaa para el crisano?» (San Saturnino, 305).
Damos la bienvenida a todos los recién llegados
a nuestra familia Parroquial. Si desea registrarse
y recibir inscripción, por favor llamar a la oficina
Parroquial o preguntarle a un acomodador antes
o después de misa.

With the idea of making it easier and more convenient to contribute to our

form from our website by clicking on E-giving on the homepage. If you have questions please contact Marianne at 7727400 or [email protected].
