3 For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Is there someone your really don t like? Or is there someone you feel you hate. Hopefully you have come to realize that such feelings about people are because of something we believe they did to us, or something they should have done for us, but didn t. We may waste a lot of time thinking about how we will retaliate. Or we may actually retaliate in some way. But that may lead to serious physical or legal consequences. Ultimately, the time we spend with feelings of dislike or hatred, or the actions we take, do more harm to us than to the other person. That is why Jesus taught his disciples, and through them, taught us, to love your enemies and do good to them. Jesus knew there would be people that, for some reason or another, we would not like. Jesus was critical of the Chief Priest, Sadducees, Pharisees and the scribes. He loved them enough to challenge them to change. That s the kind of love he wants us to have for everyone, including our enemies. It is not easy, but that is what Jesus did and what he challenges us to do.

6 24 de febrero de 2019 Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Parroquia de San José y San Pablo Ofrecemos nuestro Corazón a Dios y nuestros Talentos a su Pueblo. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Según san Mateo, una noche mientras los discípulos estaban en la barca de Pedro, Jesús vino hacía ellos caminando sobre el mar. Ellos se espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algún pescador pero él los calmó diciendo Ánimo!, que soy yo; no teman. Debió ser impactante ver al Señor caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una época donde las aguas venían consideradas como el caos. En varias partes de Latinoamérica los fieles celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos sobre ríos o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Perú se llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesión acuática. San Pedro, que fue pescador, está en casa sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de pescadores las que forman la procesión. Esta procesión reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los pescadores, que durante el año perdieron sus vidas en el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la bahía. Pero, esta procesión no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las aguas, dominando el mar. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. NO CAUSAR DAÑO Escuchamos por un buen rato antes de llegar a la culminación ingeniosa de la primera lectura de hoy: si bien hubiera sido fácil hacerlo, David no causará daño al ungido del Señor. Nosotros, por supuesto, sabemos que Jesús es el Mesías, el ungido de Dios, mas la Biblia usa ese término para distintas personas. Es la manera bíblica de indicar quién ha sido elegido por Dios para un lugar y misión especial dentro de la historia de la salvación. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús presenta una abultada lista de aquellos a quienes, por ser hijos de Dios, no debemos dañar, sino más bien amar: nuestros enemigos, los que nos maldicen o nos hacen daño, los que nos deben dinero, los ingratos, los malvados. El punto de la enseñanza de Jesús no es alentar esos tipos de comportamiento en otros, sino más bien formarnos a imagen de nuestro Padre celestial cuando incrementamos las oportunidades para amar incondicionalmente, sin esperar nada a cambio; ser misericordiosos y compasivo, aun cuando sería más fácil no serlo.

7 Have you thought about making a retreat but never said yes? Wouldn t it be wonderful to increase your circle of friends? Do you have things in your life that need prayer? Have you been in a desert spiritually? Do you ever wonder if others are going through the same struggles you are? Could you use a spirit-filled few days? Are you looking to know Jesus better? Do you like good food? Are you open to receiving blessings? Thank you for praying for me! This past weekend, I had an amazing encounter with Christ on the Lazarus retreat at Gasper River. I honestly didn t know what to expect and I was a little afraid, but it turns out it was just what I needed. This was the first time I truly felt strong emotions during confession and a uniquely powerful adoration experience. I met so many wonderful young Catholics, strengthened my faith in a time that I need it most, and felt at peace in the chaos of life. Thank you to everyone that prayed for me!!
