TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY!
In announcing his decision to declare a
Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said,
“Dear brothers and sisters, I have often
thought about how the Church might make
clear its mission of being a witness to
mercy.” Supporting the young churches throughout the
world with your prayers and generous gifts is indeed a
merciful witness of this mission. The collection today will
help missionaries offer the poor of these areas practical
help as they share the mercy of God. It will ensure the
development of local dioceses, and support the work of
priests, religious and lay leaders who serve those on the
margins and in most need. Extend your merciful witness
to the whole world through your gift in today’s collection
for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith!
EL FIN DE SEMANA DEL DOMINGO MUNDIAL DE
LAS MISIONES
¡HOY ES EL DOMINGO MUNDIAL DE LAS MISIONES! Al
anunciar su decisión de declarar un Año Santo de la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco expresó: “Apreciados her-
manos y hermanas, con frecuencia he pensado en cómo
puede la Iglesia dejar clara su misión de testificar en misericordia.” Apoyar a las iglesias jóvenes de todo el mun-
do con sus oraciones y generosos aportes es, de hecho,
un testimonio misericordioso de esta misión. La colecta
de hoy ayudará a los misioneros a ofrecer a los pobres de
estas áreas ayuda práctica mientras comparten la misericordia de Dios. También asegurará el desarrollo de las
diócesis locales y apoyará el trabajo de sacerdotes y líderes religiosos y laicos, quienes sirven a aquellos que
están marginados y que más necesitan. ¡Extienda su testimonio misericordioso a todo el mundo mediante su
aporte en la colecta de hoy para la Sociedad para la Propagación de la Fe!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Imagine the frustration of bishops who work strenuously over their ad limina reports, directing study committees, assembling data, honing the texts, traveling to
Rome “to the threshold,” only to have it all collapse into a
fifteen-minute group meeting with the pope. More than a
few have grumbled at the weight of this “treasure” from
our tradition, yet from the pope’s vantage point, they are
essential to his ministry.
Pope John Paul II recalled his own experience as the
Bishop of Kraków, visiting with Pope Paul VI in the late
1960s and early 1970s. The memory of those individual
visits caused him to strengthen the format, assuring each
of the world’s 2,744 bishops a privileged fifteen private
minutes with the pope every five years. If you wonder
what the pope does all day, the thought of dealing with
five hundred bishops a year and reading their detailed
reports on diocesan life should help fill up the calendar.
Pope John Paul II used to say that he approached each
individual meeting with the personal goal of learning
something new about the Church, and his lively interest
made the visits immensely worthwhile. The content of the
private meetings remains under a privilege of secrecy, or
as Cardinal Theodore McCarrick once said, “You’re only
supposed to quote the pope if he tells a joke.”
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1823 se fundó el pueblo de San Rafael de las Quebradillas en Puerto Rico. Este pueblo fue dedicado al santo patrón de los pescadores. Rafael, también es el ángel
patrono de la salud. Aunque hoy día su fiesta esta combinada con los otros arcángeles el 29 de septiembre, en el
viejo calendario este santo fue conmemorado el 24 de
octubre.
Rafael (Dios salva) se encuentra en el libro de Tobías
y según el autor bíblico, este es el ángel de la guarda de
Tobías. El mismo Rafael se presenta como uno de los siete ángeles o arcángeles que llevan las oraciones de los
justos al trono de Dios y que gozan de la presencia gloriosa del Santísimo (Tobías 12:15).
Mi padre siempre dice que hay que pedir una cosa a
Dios, la salud. Si tenemos la salud nada nos falta. Es interesante que en latín, salud y salvación son la misma palabra, salus. El santo patrón de la salud, Rafael nos recuerda que Dios es el único que nos puede salvar, dándonos
salud de cuerpo, alma y espíritu.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

NEVER ABANDONED
Lord, I do not ask that I never be afflicted, but only
that you never abandon me in affliction. —St. Bernadette Soubirous
