MAYO, MES DE MARIA Y DEL ROSARIO
El mes de mayo se lo dedicamos a la santísima Virgen
María. Una manera de honrar a María este mes es rezando
el Santo Rosario con más frecuencia. Si rezamos el
Rosario, nuestra vida cambia, la fe crece, la familia se
santifica.
SANTISIMA TRINIDAD
22 DE MAYO DE 2016
El texto del Evangelio pertenece al discurso que Jesús
dirigió a sus discípulos durante la Ultima Cena. Ha llegado
la hora de que Jesús los deje y aunque quisiera revelarles
muchas cosas más, él sabe que los discípulos todavía no
están preparados para comprender plenamente su
mensaje. Sin embargo, esto no quiere decir que Jesús los
vaya a abandonar a su suerte o que vayan a ser privados
de la revelación divina; al contrario. Cuando Jesús regrese
al Padre, el Espíritu vendrá a ellos para guiarlos y
ayudarlos a comprender y caminar hacia la verdad plena.
El Espíritu es quien hace comprensiva la revelación de Dios
en Jesús, la explica, porque la conoce mejor que nadie.
En efecto, Jesús se la participa, lo instruye, y el Espíritu a
su vez, la comunica a los creyentes. Así queda manifiesta
la relación íntima y la y la unión indisoluble entre el
Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo, todos ellos de
naturaleza divina y un solo Dios, es la Santísima Trinidad.
