Reflections on the Readings
Every year the Church recalls the example, witness,
and prayer of the holy women and men who have been
identified by the Church as Saints. These saints are
more than just role models, they are family members
with whom we continue to share relation, in a bond of
prayer, called the Communion of Saints.
Every year when we celebrate this day, the Gospel we
proclaim recalls for us Jesus’ teaching about
happiness, the Beatitudes. We quickly note in this
reading that none of those Jesus names as “blessed’
or “happy” are expected… the poor in spirit, the meek
the persecuted. Jesus’ blueprint for happiness reflects
little of what the world might call happiness.
What does Jesus mean when he uses the word
“blessed”? This word sometimes translated as “happy”
or “fortunate” or “favored”. In other words Jesus is
saying that divine favor is upon those who are poor,
who mourn, who are persecuted. This might have been
welcome and surprising news to the crowds who heard
Jesus that day.
The Beatitudes can be understood as a framework for
Christian living. Because of this, it is natural that we
proclaim this Gospel on the Feast of All Saints. Saints
are people who lived the spirit of the Beatitudes as
Jesus lived. On this day, we too are challenged to
model our lives on the spirit and promises of the
Beatitudes.

Creative Spirit - Knitting and Crocheting Ministry
Words can not express the heartfelt love shown to us
by “Creative Spirit”. Each year these precious ladies
work to share their talent, prayers and love with our
needy, homeless and at-risk youth. I wish everyone
could just see the many smiles they bring to these little
lives, and the hugs are priceless. One lady told me she
knelt down poor but stood up a lady when she put on
her new hat and scarf. Wow! Isn’t it amazing how God
works through us all. God bless all you incredible
women for giving so freely of yourselves.

Boletin Hispano
primera categoría de los “pobres en espíritu” y la última
categoría de los “perseguidos por causa de la justicia”
reciben la misma promesa del Reino de los Cielos. Y la
reciben desde ahora, en el presente, pues Jesús dice
“¡de ellos es el Reino!” El Reino ya está presente en su
vida. La comunidad cristiana debe ser una muestra de
este Reino, un lugar donde el Reino empieza a tomar
forma desde ahora.

DOMINGO DE TODOS LOS SANTOS
Mateo presenta la Nueva Ley en cinco grandes
Sermones dispersos en el evangelio: a) el Sermón del
Monte (Mt 5,1 a 7,29); b) el Sermón de la Misión (Mt
10,1-42); c) El Sermón de las Parábolas (Mt 13,1-52);
d) el Sermón de la Comunidad (Mt 18,1-35); e) El
Sermón del Futuro del Reino (Mt 24,1 a 25,46). Las
partes narrativas, intercaladas entre los cinco
Sermones, describen la práctica de Jesús y muestran
como él observaba la nueva Ley y la encarnaba en su
vida.
Mateo 5,1-2: El solemne anuncio de la Nueva Ley. De
acuerdo con el contexto del evangelio de Mateo, en el
momento en que Jesús pronunció el Sermón del
Monte, había apenas cuatro discípulos con él (cf. Mt
4,18-22). Poca gente. Pero una multitud inmensa le
seguía (Mt 4,25).Al igual que Moisés, Jesús sube al
Monte y, mirando a la multitud, proclama la Nueva Ley.
Es significativa la manera solemne como Mateo
introduce la proclamación de la Nueva Ley: “Viendo la
muchedumbre, subió al monte, se sentó, y sus
discípulos se le acercaron. Y, tomando la palabra, les
enseñaba diciendo: “Bienaventurados los pobres de
espíritu, porque de ellos es el Reino de los Cielos.” Las
ocho Bienaventuranzas forman una solemne apertura
del “Sermón de la Montaña”. En ellas Jesús define
quien puede ser considerado bienaventurado, quien
puede entrar en el Reino. Son ochos categorías de
personas, ocho puertas para entrar en el Reino, para
la Comunidad. ¡No hay otras entradas! Quien quiere
entrar en el Reino tendrá que identificarse por lo
menos con una de estas categorías.
Mateo 5,3: Bienaventurados los pobres de espíritu.
Jesús reconoce la riqueza y el valor de los pobres.
El nuevo proyecto de vida. Cada vez que en la Biblia
se intenta renovar la Alianza, se empieza
estableciendo el derecho de los pobres y de los
excluidos. Sin esto, ¡la Alianza no se rehace! Así
hacían los profetas, así hace Jesús. En las
bienaventuranzas, anuncia al pueblo el nuevo proyecto
de Dios que acoge a los pobres y a los excluidos.
Denuncia el sistema que ha excluido a los pobres y
que persigue a los que luchan por la justicia. La
INFORMACION

sus padres son miembros asiduos de nuestra iglesia y

Brendan y no están registrados deberán bautizar a sus
niños en la iglesia donde les corresponde.
