Paz y Bien, estamos siendo invitados por la palabra de Dios a la administración de la herencia prometida por nuestro Padre Dios, ese regalo que sin merecer hemos recibido, se refiere a nuestra salvación. La debemos saber administrar y hoy la lectura del evangelio especialmente está enfocada a llamarnos la atención, a hacernos pensar, en esa gran tarea que tenemos entre nuestras manos. y nos invita a estar listos, ser solícitos , estar despiertos, esperando, con los ojos puestos en nuestro servicio de atender al dueño de la casa o propiedad.
La parábola del evangelio de hoy no va dirigida a los gobernantes y administradores en general, sino que va dirigida directamente a sus discípulos, a “su pequeño rebaño”. A ellos les dice que deben estar siempre preparados para que cuando llegue el amo, el Señor, les encuentre en vela, dispuestos a abrirle la puerta en cuanto llame, porque, “a la hora que menos piensen, vendrá el Hijo del hombre”.
Un cristiano, un discípulo de Cristo, debe entender siempre su vida aquí en la tierra como una preparación para la vida eterna. Este mundo es camino para el otro, que es morada sin pesar; y la idea es tener buen discernimiento para andar este camino sin errar”. El negocio más importante de nuestra vida es nuestra vida misma y nuestra vida aquí en la tierra, hablando en cristiano, debe conducirnos directamente a la vida eterna. Porque, si administramos bien nuestra vida, cuando llegue el Señor “nos hará sentarnos a su mesa y nos irá sirviendo
Dónde está tu tesoro allí está tu corazón , lo tendremos puesto en la venida del Señor, en su paso de liberación por nuestras vidas, sociedad, Iglesia etc? Pongámoslo en los demás, en los bienes eternos, en el amor, en la familia, en la conversión. Sigamos nuestra vida con esperanza en el Dios que salva y que nos salvó. Bendiciones .

Revival’s in the Air
An exciting journey ahead
Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith—his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
The National Eucharistic Revival is the joyful, expectant, grassroots response of the Catholic Church in the U.S. to this divine invitation. Jesus needs each one of us to be his hands and feet throughout this Eucharistic Revival. Find out ways you can get involved with the revival, visit eucharisticrevival.org/
There will be a caravan of people from OLG going to this event. If you're interested in going with others from our church, click here to let us know!
Safeguard the Children
Ways children go missing
According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there are a few significant ways that children go missing. Nearly half of all families with autistic children have reported that their children wander and have gone missing. Other ways include abduction, either by a stranger or family members, and child sex trafficking. Parents need to be aware of warning signs and know how to take action. For information, request a copy of the VIRTUS® article, “Ways Children Go Missing,” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
Según el Centro Nacional para Niños Desaparecidos y Explotados, hay algunas formas significativas en que los niños desaparecen. Casi la mitad de las familias con niños autistas han informado que sus hijos deambulan y después desaparecen. Otras formas de desaparición incluyen el secuestro, ya sea por un extraño o por miembros de la familia, y el tráfico sexual de niños. Los padres de familia deben estar atentos a las señales de advertencia y saber cómo actuar. Para obtener información, solicite una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® en inglés, “Ways Children Go Missing” (Formas en que desaparecen los niños), en lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
