KNOW THE MASS, ONE WORD AT A TIME Instruir.Tal vez Usted nunca lo ha notado, pero la Misa que celebramos juntos los domingos está llena de instrucciones. El sacerdote, el diácono o el comentarista instruyen a la congrega-ción de muchas maneras, le dicen qué hacer. De pie, Oremos, Inclinemos nuestra cabeza, Levantemos el corazón, Demos gracias al Señor, Vayan en paz, la Misa ha terminado. Con éstas y otras frases, ellos nos van dirigiendo para que centremos nuestra atención en Dios a quien hemos venido a adorar, o a ir a vivir nuestra fe. Todos necesitamos, a veces, que alguien nos oriente y nos guíe sobre el camino correcto. En este caso, se trata de personas que nos recuerdan que vamos caminando hacia Dios. Las instrucciones que escuchamos y seguimos en Misa nos dirigen a Dios mismo que quiere guiarnos y acompañarnos en la totalidad de nuestra vida. LK 4:21-30 February 3, 2013 If we become what we eat in receiving the Eucharist, how is my life more prophetic because of Sunday Mass? LK 4:21-30 February 3, 2013 Si nos transformamos en lo que comemos en la Eucaristía Cómo es mi vida más profética debido a la Eucaristía Dominical?
