A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches us about the sacredness of

marriage; a covenant that is a gift from God. Our relationships with

our spouses, family, friends, coworkers, and those in our community

of faith are all gifts from God. Jesus reminds us today that it is the

hardened heart that damages or breaks up relationships. Good

stewards understand the holiness of relationships and pray for the

love, patience, understanding and kindness

necessary to sustain those relationships. Take

time out to prayerfully reflect on your

relationships this week. Is your stewardship of

these relationships as God intended? What

relationships need to be healed and reconciled?

O glorious Saint Paul of the Cross, who, by meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ,

didst attain to so high a degree of holiness on earth and of

happiness in Heaven, and, by preaching the same Passion, didst offer anew to the world

the most certain cure for all its ills, obtain for us the grace to keep it ever

deeply engraved in our hearts,

that so we may be able to reap the same fruits both in time and

in eternity. Amen.

UN MOMENTO DE CORRESPONSABILIDAD

En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús nos instruye acerca del carácter sagrado del

matrimonio; un convenio que es un don de Dios. Todas las relaciones en nuestra

vida, como nuestro esposo/a, familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo y aquellos en

nuestra comunidad de fe, son dones de Dios. Jesús nos recuerda hoy que es el

corazón endurecido el que lastima o rompe las relaciones. Los buenos

corresponsables conocen la santidad de las relaciones y oran por el amor, la

paciencia, la comprensión y la bondad necesarios para mantener esas relaciones.

Dedique un tiempo esta semana para reflexionar

piadosamente sobre sus relaciones. ¿Su

corresponsabilidad de estas relaciones es como

Dios la deseó? ¿Qué relaciones necesitan ser

sanadas y reconciliadas?

San Pablo de la Cruz

San Pablo de la Cruz nació en 1694

en el pueblo de Ovada, al Norte de

Italia, en una familia rica de

mercaderes, fue el segundo de

dieciséis hijos. A la edad de 19 años,

después de vivir una infancia normal,

experimentó una conversión que le

atrajo a una vida oración. Cuando

tenía 26 años, durante un periodo de

oración intensa y soledad, Pablo de la

Cruz tuvo una serie de experiencias

de oración, las cuales le aclararon que

Dios le estaba invitando a formar una

comunidad de hombres que vivieran

juntos y se dedicaran a predicar la

Pasión de Cristo. Su objetivo princi-

pal en la comunidad fue, como él

mismo escribió, formar un hombre

centrado en Dios, un hombre de

oración que se desprenda de sus pose-

siones y que pueda ser libre para ser

discípulo de Jesucristo. Su primer

compañero fue su propio hermano,

Juan Bautista, quien fue ordenado al

sacerdocio con Pablo por el Papa

Benedicto XIII en 1727, en la

Basílica de San Pedro. Después de su

ordenación ellos se dedicaron a predi-

car las misiones en parroquias, par-

ticularmente en lugares de países re-

motos donde no había suficientes

sacerdotes. Sus prédicas y retiros ga-

naron la atención de otros y gradual-

mente la comunidad “Pasionista”

comenzó a crecer. La comunidad

Pasionista estaba en gran demanda en

muchas áreas de Italia, en parte por el

éxito de la comunidad de traer a los

católicos no practicantes de regreso a

la Iglesia, y por su ministerio al en-

fermo y al moribundo. Durante su

vida, Pablo de la Cruz fue mejor

conocido por su predicación y su di-

rección espiritual. Han sido conser-

vadas más de dos mil de sus cartas,

en su mayoría cartas de dirección

espiritual. Él murió en Roma el año

de 1775, a la edad de 81 años. Fue

canonizado por el Papa Pío IX en

1867. Su fiesta se celebra el 20 de

octubre.

A la edad de 19 años, después

de vivir una infancia normal,

experimentó una

Que San Pablo de la

Cruz nos obtenga del

cielo la gracia de

meditar con

frecuencia en la Pasión

y Muerte de Jesús y

así amar mucho y

siempre más a nuestro

amable Redentor.

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you

All are invited to participate in the

2015 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE

What: Praying the Holy Rosary and Other prayers

Where: St. Anthony of Padua Church

When: Saturday, October 10, 2015 at 12 Noon

America is at a historic crossroad. Secularists are trying to push God from the public square and

reject His beneficial action upon society. But without God, where will our leaders get the wisdom to solve the great

problems we face? We must pray to God for help. This is why we are launching the 2015 Public Square Rosary Crusade.

St. Louis de Monfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to

appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advo-cated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering.”

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:

“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the

greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most

helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only

celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,

we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."
