In Latin America, where Christian values remain important, many families are wounded by hostility from the surrounding environment and by broken relationships within the family. Yet throughout the hemisphere, the Church continues to point the way to Christ as the source of hope and healing within the family and in society. Many family and catechetical ministry projects funded by the Collection for the Church in Latin America offer families and communities a way to strengthen, affirm, and celebrate their life together in faith, offering a different and hopeful vision of relationships with one another and with God. In Cuba, migration and economic pressures are only a few of the many internal and external circumstances that pose threats to Catholic families, as they strive to practice and share their faith. A grant requested by the Archdiocese of Havana is addressing these challenges by forming family pastoral ministers who are helping nourish families, so they can live an authentic, integrated experience of faith at home and in the wider community. Through this project, the archdiocese placed an increased focus on family ministry, supporting ninety-eight communities with existing programs. Monthly, one-day meetings are held with the communities, which includes workshops, interactive exercises, and best practices for family ministry. The project also promotes the Rosary and prepared people for both the National Day of Families held in May and the Annual Diocesan Gathering of Families held in June of 2014. In addition to the monthly meetings, a separate retreat was held for the facilitators of the groups that work with young couples. Our diocese will take up this collection this weekend. Please be generous in this collection and take this opportunity to share your faith with families in Latin America and the Caribbean. Your support will truly make a difference. Thank you and God bless you. In The Lord’s Peace, Most Reverent Robert E. Gugliemone Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston NEXT WEEK’S SECOND COLLECTION Holy Trinity Catholic School Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar SEGUNDO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO Queridos Hermanos: El Evangelio de este Domingo, nos recuerda la elección de los primeros discípulos. Es un hermoso relato, que evoca profundamente el proceso y las diferentes circunstancias de la vocación de aquellos primeros apóstoles que siguieron a Jesús. También, en la Liturgia de este Domingo, podemos descubrir varias características de Jesús: -Jesús es el Cordero de Dios. Es decir, El es nuestra Pascua y nuestro Salvador. Según la tradición judía, la sangre del cordero pascual, sirvió de señal en Egipto, para que sus primogénitos se libraran del exterminio. Después cada año, para recordar y celebrar tal acontecimiento, inmolaban un cordero. Jesús inmolado en la cruz es visto como el Cordero de Dios. El con su muerte en la cruz y con su resurrección, nos libra de la esclavitud del pecado y nos da vida nueva. -Jesús es Señor y Maestro. El es quien nos da la verdadera enseñanza de la vida y de la existencia. Más adelante Jesús también se declara como el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida. -Jesús es el Mesías, el Ungido, el Cristo. Es decir, Jesús es el esperado por el pueblo para liberarlo, quien trae el Reino de Dios, quien cumple todas las promesas de Dios. Jesús es el Único quien nos salva. Fuera de el, no hay salvación. -Jesús es Aquel, de quien escribió Moisés en la Ley, y también los Profetas. Jesús es quien implantará una nueva sociedad, basada en el derecho y la justicia, en la paz y en la verdad, en la defensa de los débiles y abundancia para todos. -Jesús es el Rey de Israel. Es otra forma de proclamar que El es el Mesías. El rey para Israel, era quien ejercía el derecho y la justicia de parte de Dios, el defensor de los pobres y marginados. Jesucristo es el verdadero Rey de reyes y Señor de señores. -Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Este es un título cristiano, con el que la comunidad confesó su fe en Jesús, como verdadero Dios, después de la pascua. Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que ella nos ayude, a seguir a Jesús, al igual que hicieron sus Apóstoles, a través de las palabras, obras y testimonio de vida. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando.

Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario COMPARATIENDO NOTICIAS….. Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Hoy, la familia enfrenta enormes desafíos en todo el mundo. En América Latina, en donde los valores cristianos continúan siendo importantes, muchas familias sufren debido a las hostilidades que encuentran en su entorno y por relaciones quebrantadas dentro de la familia. Sin embargo, en todo el hemisferio, la Iglesia continúa mostrando el camino hacia Cristo como fuente de esperanza y de sanación dentro de la familia y la sociedad. Muchos proyectos de ministerios familiares y catequéticos, financiados por la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina, ofrecen a familias y comunidades la manera de fortalecer, afirmar, y celebrar juntas su vida de fe, ofreciendo una visión diferente y esperanzadora para relacionarse unos con otros y con Dios. En Cuba, las presiones migratorias y económicas son solo una de tantas circunstancias internas y externas que representan una amenaza para esas familias católicas que luchan por vivir y compartir su fe. La subvención que solicitó la Arquidiócesis de La Habana está respondiendo a estos desafíos formando ministros para la pastoral familiar, quienes ayudarán a las familias para que éstas puedan vivir una experiencia de fe auténtica e integrada, tanto en su hogar como en la comunidad en general. A través de este proyecto, la arquidiócesis está enfocándose mucho más en la pastoral familiar, dando su apoyo a noventa y ocho comunidades con programas existentes. Durante un día al mes, se realizan reuniones con las comunidades, las cuales incluyen talleres, ejercicios interactivos y las mejores prácticas para la pastoral familiar. El proyecto también promocionó el Rosario y preparó a personas para el Día nacional de las familias, el cual se realizó en mayo, y para la Reunión diocesana anual de familias, que se realizó en junio de 2014. Además de las reuniones mensuales, se realizó por separado un retiro para los facilitadores de grupo que trabajan con parejas jóvenes. Nuestra diócesis realizará esta Colecta el fin de semana del (poner la fecha aquí). Por favor, sean generosos en esta colecta y aprovechen de esta ocasión para compartir su fe con las familias en América Latina y el Caribe. Su apoyo realmente hará una diferencia. Muchas gracias y que Dios los bendiga. Sinceramente suyo en Cristo, Reverendísimo Robert E.
