Law Enforcement and Firefighter's Men's Emmaus
(LEAF)
July 8-10
-What is the Men’s Law Enforcement & Firefighter Emmaus?
It is a retreat put on by men of the law enforcement and fire fighting
community, based on the appearance of Jesus to the disciples walking
along the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).
-Why a Men’s Law Enforcement & Firefighter Emmaus?
Because every emergency first responder could use some time away
from the hustle and bustle of today’s busy world; allowing his Christian
brothers in the law enforcement & fire fighting community to serve him.
-What happens during the weekend?
You will hear a few talks given by different men from different parishes.
Still, no lectures or assignments.
-Is there a donation required? Yes, a donation of $150.00. However, do not let this prevent you from attending.
If you need any assistance, speak to anyone of the below listed brothers.
-If I have any questions, whom should I contact?
Wil Fleites (MDFR) 786-218-2555
Robert Costa (MDFR) 786-367-7633

Lecturas Del Dia
PRIMERA LECTURA (Isaías 66:10-14)
En tiempos de Isaías el pueblo está en crisis, una crisis larga y seria, la gente se desanima,
pierde la esperanza. Cunde el desánimo y parece que el final está próximo. Pero el profeta nunca pierde la esperanza.
Y, aunque se cansa, nunca deja confiar en Dios.
SEGUNDA LECTURA
(Gálatas 6: 14-18)
Pablo se enfrenta a la cuestión de si tenemos que convertirnos al judaísmo o no, para vivir nuestra fe en Jesús
de Nazaret. Y su postura es clara. Nuestra distinción, nuestra señal debe ser Cristo-Jesús, y éste crucificado. De
forma que la cruz pase a ser signo del amor entregado, de esperanza.
EVANGELIO (Lucas 10: 1-12,17-20)
Jesús envía a setenta y dos, número simbólico en el que todos estamos representados. Todos somos obreros
que debemos propagar la alegría del Evangelio. Y todos debemos poder aceptar que el mensaje de Jesús no va
a ser aceptado por todos y que debemos respeterlos.
Blessing a
Marriage in the Church­
La Bendición del Matrimonio
en la Iglesia
For different reasons ­sometimes a
­Catholic may not have been married
in the ­Catholic Church, but in some
other ­religious or civil ­c eremony.
We have a program for people to
­“convalidate” their wedding in the
Church, also called “blessing” the
­marriage in the Church.
Sometimes a previous ­marriage might
have been ­involved, we can help with
the ­annulment process. Please call Fr.
Paul for more information about both
­annulments and ­blessing ­marriages in
the church: 305-238-7562.
Por diferentes razones los Católicos no
se casan en la Iglesia Católica, y si en
otras religiones o en ceremonias
civiles. Tenemos un programa
para personas que deseen
“convalidar’
su
matrimonio
en la Iglesia, también llamado
“bendicion” del matrimonio en la
Iglesia.
Algunas veces por razones de un
matrimonio anterior, nosotros
podemos ayudarlos con el proceso
de “anulación”.
Para mayor
información puede comunicarse
con el Padre Paul, bien sea para
una anulación o para la bendición
del matrimonio. Puede llamar al
305-238-7562.

Midnight Musings / Pensamientos de Media Noche
An Age of Martyrs
La Era de los Mártires
We often talk about the first three centuries of Christianity as “The Age of Martyrs.” Certainly many did give their
lives, starting with Jesus himself. Stephen, the first martyr
after Jesus, gave his life in Jerusalem. We remember the
stories of apostles bearing witness to Christ by shedding
their blood, like Thomas in India and Peter and Paul in
Rome. As the Church began, Christians endured opposition from both Jews as well as the Roman empire. In the
60’s Nero cruelly punished Christians and scapegoated
them for the burning of Rome. The first 33 popes, or
bishops of Rome, died as martyrs. The empire regarded
Christians as subversive to the state; they would not worship the gods of the empire and were regarded as atheists.
In a sense Christians shared persecution with other political and socially unwanted groups. Persecutions were very
often sporadic and local, although in some periods, such
as AD 257-58 under Valerian and 303-5, Diocletian’s rule,
Roman administrators singled out Christians for persecution. The 2nd-century Church Father Tertullian wrote that
“the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church,” meaning that the heroism of martyrs furthered the spread of
the gospel. Finally in the fourth century AD Constantine
made the Church free.
Yet persecution of Christians in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries has reached unexpected heights. The twentieth century witnessed Christian suffering in the Communist USSR, China, Cuba and North Korea, as well as under
Nazi Germany, among other places. Most recently the
respected Pew Research Center calls Christians the most
persecuted people in the world, suffering in 110 countries.
Some estimate that 8,000 die as martyrs each year; that
would be almost one person each hour of every day. The
Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary maintains that an average of
100,000 Christians have been killed for the faith each year
for the past 10 years.
The word “martyr” means “witness.” Some bear witness
even to death. Others experience limitations to their religious freedom. Some endure harassment by government forces or by societal prejudices. Yet all of us feel
the challenge of the gospel to remain faithful to Jesus in
all aspects of life. We bear “witness” to Christ by what we
say and do in the great and small moments of life. All of
us “martyrs” must “witness” to Jesus by our whole being.
We pray that we remain faithful. We pray especially for
those in different parts of the world who pay the ultimate
price for loyalty to Jesus.
A menudo hablamos de los primeros tres siglos
del Cristianismo como “la Era de los Mártires.” Cierto es
que muchos diéron su vida, comenzando por el mismo
Jesús. Estéban, el primer mártir después de Jesús, dio su
vida en Jerusalen. Recordemos las historias de los apóstoles dando testimonio de Cristo al derramar su sangre,
como Tomás, en la India y Pedro y Pablo, en Roma. En
los comiénzos de la Iglesia, los Cristianos tuvieron mucha
oposición, tanto de los Judíos como del Imperio Romano.
En los 60 Nero castigó cruelmente a los Cristianos y los
culpó del fuego de Roma. Los primeros 33 Papas, u Obispos de Roma, murieron como mártires. El imperio consideraba a los Cristianos como subversivos al estado; ellos
no adoraban a los dioces del imperio y eran considerados
atéos. En un sentido los Cristianos compartian la persecución con otros grupo de indeseables políticos y sociales.
Las persecuciones eran espóradicas y locales, aunque en
algunos períodos, como 257-58 AD bajo Valeriano y 30305 regía Dioclesíano, la administración romana señalaba
a los Cristianos para ser perseguidos. En el segundo siglo
de la Iglesia el Padre Tertullian escribió, “la sangre de los
mártires es la semilla de la Iglesia,” queriendo decir que el
heroísmo de los mártires promovia los evangelios. Finalmente en el cuarto siglo AD, Constantino liberó la Iglesia.
Aun así, la persecución Cristiana en los siglos
veinte y veintiuno ha aumentado inersperadamente. En el
siglo veinte vemos que los Cristianos sufrieron a manos de
los Comunistas USSR, China y Corea del Norte, así como
en la Alemánia Nazi, entre otros países. Recientemente
la respetada ‘Pew Research Center’ llamó a los Cristianos
el grupo más perseguido del mundo, sufriendo en 110
países. Algunos estiman que 8,000 mueren como mártires cada año; es casi como una persona cada hora del
día. El Centro para Estudios del Cristianismo Global en el
Seminario de Teología Gordon-Conwell mantiene que hay
un promedio de 100,000 Cristianos que han muerto por
su fe cada año en los pasados 10 años.
La palabra “mártir” significa “testimonio”. Algunos dan testimonio hasta de la muerte. Otros experimentan limitaciones en la libertad religiosa. Algunos sienten
acoso por la fuerzas gubernamentales o por los prejucios
sociales. Aun así todos sentimos el reto del evangelio
que se mantiene fiel a Jesús en todos los aspectos de la
vida. Damos “testimonio” a Cristo por lo que decimos y
hacemos en los grandes y pequeño momentos de la vida.
Todos nosotros “martires” debemos “testimoniar” a Jesús
por todo nuestro ser. Oramos para mantenernos fieles.
Oramos especialmente por aquellos en diferentes partes
del mundo que pagan el máximo precio por su lealtad a
Jesús.
Suyos en Cristo,
Yours in Christ,
