Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick
members of our community and for all who are in need.
Amid mental and physical suffering may they find
consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as
you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole
and free downcast spirits. May these special people find
lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking
you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus
who healed those who believed. Amen.

XXI domingo en el tiempo Ordinario
San Juan 6, 55-60-69
23 de Agosto de 2015
En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús nos urge
a que sigamos siendo fieles a Él, y a
que continuemos viviendo en el
“espíritu que nos da la vida”.
Cuando vivimos en el Espíritu de Jesús trascendemos
de nuestra vida común y corriente para empezar a vivir
una vida más excelsa. El amor divino nos colma de tal
manera, que somos como estrellas cuyo brillo ha sido
eclipsado completamente por la luz del sol. Dios vive en
nosotros, y nuestro único deseo es unir nuestra voluntad
a Su Voluntad.
Para seguir progresando en nuestra vida en el Espíritu
de Jesús, antes que nada debemos aceptarnos a nosotros
mismos con todo y nuestras imperfecciones. No se den
por vencidos, sean pacientes. Esperen y prosigan en el
cumplimiento de sus actividades diarias llenos júbilo.
Hagan todo lo que se les ha enseñado con un espíritu de
gentileza y fidelidad. Desarrollen un espíritu de compasión. Una vez hayamos sembrado y regado debemos
comprender que el desarrollo de esos árboles, que representan nuestras buenas inclinaciones y hábitos, queda
en manos de Dios. Es por esta razón que debemos esperar para poder obtener los frutos de nuestros deseos,
y de nuestra labor, de manos de la Divina Providencia.
No se dejen perturbar si se dan cuenta que no logran
progresar como deseaban. En el momento en que tomamos la decisión de vivir una vida sagrada, la totalidad
de nuestra existencia queda destinada a convertirse en
una prueba práctica. Permanezcamos en paz; esforcémonos por lograr que la calma reine siempre en nuestros corazones. De nosotros depende que podamos cultivar bien nuestras almas, y debemos asistirlas fielmente
en dicho empeño. Pero en lo que se refiere a tener una
cosecha abundante, dejemos esto al cuidado de nuestro
Señor. El trabajador jamás será responsable por una
mala cosecha, a menos que él o ella no hayan sembrado
el campo con el cuidado necesario. Nuestra dependencia constante en Dios nos asegura que estamos plantados sólidamente donde Él desea que estemos.
No me cabe la menor duda que nuestro Salvador los
lleva siempre de la mano. Si en algún momento
tropiezan, es sólo para recordarles que si sueltan Su
mano la próxima vez van a caerse. Para aquellos de nosotros que amamos y tenemos esperanza en Dios, nuestra debilidad no resulta tan grande como Su misericordia.
