The Letter to the Hebrews today sings a hymn of praise
to Abraham and to his faith, upon which are founded the
religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Abraham
is called “father” in faith by more people on earth than
anybody else, numerous as the sands of the seashore or
the stars of the heavens. Hebrews tells us it was this
foundational faith that led Abraham to obey God’s call
when he heard it, though he was called to journey to a
land he did not know and told he would father a mighty
race through a marriage he thought was barren. But
Abraham’s faith, the author of Hebrews tells us, was his
realization of what he hoped for, and the evidence of
what he could not see. How often are we, in simple
daily events of our own Christian vocation, called to an
unfamiliar place or told we are to do something we do
not believe we can? How fortunate we are to have
Father Abraham as our guide and example!

hanks to the Rosbottom family for sharing some of their vacation pictures (see next page) we have this wonderful
beach scene to lead us back into the school year. The colors were so beautiful I just couldn’t bear to convert them to
black and white to put them in the interior of SPIRES, so we have a completely non-liturgical cover. Enjoy!

NUESTRO PADRE EN LA FE
La Carta a los Hebreos hoy canta un himno de
alabanza a Abraham y a su fe, sobre la cual se fundan la
religión judía, la cristiana y la mahometana. Abraham
es llamado “padre” de la fe por más personas en el
mundo que cualquier otro; numerosas como la arena de
la playa o las estrellas del cielo. La Carta a los Hebreos
nos dice que esta fe firme lo impulsó a obedecer el
llamado de Dios cuando lo envió a buscar una tierra
desconocida y le dijo que sería padre de una raza
poderosa, aunque consideraba su matrimonio infecundo.
Pero la fe de Abraham, nos dice el autor de la Carta a
los Hebreos, le permitía poseer lo que esperaba y
conocer lo que no podía ver. ¿Cuántas veces nos vemos
en simples sucesos cotidianos de nuestra vocación
cristiana llamados a un sitio desconocido o enviados a
hacer algo que no creemos poder hacer? ¡Qué
afortunados somos por tener a nuestro padre Abraham
como nuestro guía y ejemplo!

TRADICIONES DE
NUESTRA FE
Hace casi 2000 años, Jesús declaró que “los zorros
tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo sus nidos; pero el
Hijo del hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza”.
Lamentablemente en las calles y callejones del mundo
este dicho se realiza diariamente en tantos abandonados
por la sociedad que viven sin techo ni hogar. Por los
años de 1940 el santo jesuita, Alberto Hurtado de Chile
quiso darle al Hijo del hombre un lugar donde reclinar
su cabeza recogiendo a los niños y a los adultos
indigentes.
Su ejemplo llamó la atención de otros cristianos
que se unieron a sus esfuerzos y así en 1944 fundaron la
asociación benéfica “Hogar de Cristo”. Este hogar se
dedica aun todavía a acoger, educar y rehabilitar a los
necesitados dándoles las herramientas necesarias para
poder depender de si mismos. También vela por sus
almas dándoles una formación total de cuerpo, alma y
espíritu.
En fin, el Hogar de Cristo se dedica a difundir la
realidad de los pobres por medio de nuestro llamado
bautismal a la responsabilidad que tenemos en darle al
Hijo de hombre un lugar para reclinar su cabeza.

NO SE DEJEN ENGAÑAR
Que no los perturbe el clamor de este mundo,
que pasa como una sombra. No dejen que los falsos los deleiten de un mundo mentiroso que lo engañe.
