From the Pastor’s Heart and Desk:
~~~~ A young soldier was utterly humiliated by his senior officer. The officer had gone beyond the bounds of
acceptable behavior in disciplining the
young soldier and knew it, so he said nothing as the younger man said through
clenched teeth, “I’ll make you regret this if it
is the last thing I ever do.” A few days later
their company was under heavy fire and the
officer was wounded and cut off from his
troops. Through the haze of the battlefield
he saw a figure coming to his rescue. It was
the young soldier. At the risk of his own life,
the young soldier dragged the officer to safety. The officer said, apologetically, “Son, I
owe you my life.” The young man laughed
and said, “I told you that I would make you
regret humiliating me if it was the last thing I
ever did.” That is God’s kind of revenge.
“Behold the Lamb that takes away the sins of
the world …” Something happened on Calvary that bridged the gap between a holy God
and unholy humanity. We see Christ in his
majesty but also in his mercy.
~~~~ Two months before his assassination,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke to his congregation at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta about his death in what would oddly
enough become his eulogy. “Every now and
then I think about my own death, and I think
about my own funeral,” Dr. King told his congregation. “If any of you are around when I
have to meet my day, I don’t want a long funeral. And if you get somebody to deliver
the eulogy, tell them not to talk too long.
Every now and then I wonder what I want
them to say. Tell them not to mention that I
have a Nobel Peace Prize, that isn’t important. Tell them not to mention that I have
three or four hundred other awards, that is
not important. I’d like someone to mention
that day that Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to
give his life serving others. I’d like someone
to say that day that Martin Luther King, Jr.
tried to love somebody. I want you to be able
to say that day that I did try to feed the hungry. I want you to be able to say that day
that I did try, in my life, to clothe those who
were naked. I want you to be able to say that
I did try to visit those in prison. I want you
to say that I tried to love and serve ...

Del Escritorio y Corazón del Pastor:
~~~~ Un joven soldado quien fue totalmente
humillado por su Oficial Superior. El Oficial
fue más allá de sus límites de conducta
aceptable en disciplinar al joven soldado y él
lo sabiay no hizo nada cuando el soldado
murmuró : "Haré que te arrepientas de esto,
aunque sea lo último que yo haga". Unos dias más tarde su Compañía estuvo bajo un
duro ataque del enemigo, el Oficial fue herido y abandonado por su tropa. A través de la
bruma del campo de batalla, el Oficial vió
una silueta que venía a rescatarlo. Era el
joven soldado, arriesgando su vida arrastró
al Oficial a un lugar seguro. El Ofcial le dijo
en tono de disculpa. "Hijo, te debo la vida". El
joven se rió y le dijo : T e dije que te haría
arrepentir el haberme humillado aunque sea
la última cosa que hiciera". Es como la revancha de Dios ; "He aquí el Cordero de Dios
que quita los pecados del mundo.." Algo pasó
en el Calvario que acerca el abismo entre un
Dios Santo y una humanidad no santa.
Vemos a Cristo en su majestad pero también
su misericordia.
~~~~ Dos mese antes de su asesinato, el Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. habló a su congregación de su Iglesia Bautista Ebenezer en Atlanta sobre su muerte, lo cual extrañamente
sería su eulogía : "De vez en cuando pienso
en mi propia muerte y pienso acerca de mi
propio funeral" El Dr. King dijo a su congregación: "si uno de ustedes está presente
cuando llegue mi dia, no quiero un funeral
largo, Y si encuentran a alguien que hable
un mi funeral, diganle que no hable mucho.
A veces me pregunto lo que quisiera que digan. Diganle que no mencione que ovtuve un
Premio Nobel de la Paz, que no es importante, Diganle que no menciones que tengo 300 o 400 premios, que no es importante,
me gustaría que ese dia alguien mencionara
que Martin Luther King Jr., trató de dar su
vida sirviendo a otros, me gustaria que diga
que Martin Luther King trató de amar a al- Continúa en la Página 3

2017 ARCHBISHOP’S CHARITIES AND DEVELOPMENT DRIVE
(ABCD)
Understanding that we are made in the image and likeness of God can help us to understand why God
put into the humanity of every man and woman the vocation - and thus the capacity and the responsibility - of love and communion. To live out this vocation requires a growth in virtue that leads us to
make gifts of ourselves to God and to others.
Your faithful and generous participation in the ABCD flows from God’s many blessings to you and to
those you hold dear. Next weekend is the 2017 ABCD Commitment weekend. The ABCD supports all
of the vital ministries and programs throughout the Archdiocese of Miami, and it is our one opportunity during the year to support all the people of God beyond the boundary of our own parish, St.
Matthew.
Please prayerfully consider supporting the ABCD. Your gift directly helps our parish to pay its share
of the important work of the Archdiocese. Let us strive for 100% participation: not equal gifts, but
equal sacrifice! We invite you to join us to be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in Charity.
El entendimiento de que estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios nos puede ayudar a comprender
por qué Dios puso en la humanidad de cada hombre y de cada mujer la llamada - y por lo tanto, la capacidad y la responsabilidad - del amor y de la comunión. Para vivir esta vocación se requiere de un crecimiento en la virtud que nos lleva a hacer donación de nosotros mismos a Dios y a los demás.
Su participación fiel y generosa en el ABCD fluye de la muchas bendiciones de Dios para usted y sus
seres queridos. El próximo fin de semana es el Fin de Semana del Compromiso con el ABCD 2017. El
ABCD es la fuente de apoyo de todos los ministerios cruciales y programas que existen en la Arquidiócesis
de Miami, y es nuestra única oportunidad durante el año para dar nuestro apoyo a todo el pueblo de Dios
más allá de los límites de nuestra propia parroquia, St. Matthew Catholic Church.
Por favor, considere en oración el dar su apoyo al ABCD. Su donativo ayuda directamente a nuestra parroquia a pagar su parte en la importante labor de la Arquidiócesis. Esforcémonos por lograr una participación del 100%: no se trata de hacer donaciones iguales, sino de hacer el mismo scrificio! Le invitamos
a permanecer con nosotros Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza, Unidos en la Caridad.
