Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 22, 2017

Jesus Keeps Knocking on Our Doors… The Archdiocese of Miami, through the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD), opens the door for us all to unite as one community of believers to evangelize and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ bringing hope to those in need. We ask you to love your neighbors, selflessly and sacrificially, by making a gift to the ABCD so that we can unite to feed the hungry, cloth the poor, care for the sick and dying, and touch the hearts of those in despair. Your generosity will also help us educate our children, assist the poorest of our parishes and schools, and provide shelter for the homeless. Together, we will continue to defend the dignity of all human life, eliminate prejudice, and promote social justice.

Jesus is knocking on your door and inviting you to love and serve those in need through the ABCD. Please make a gift -- a gift blessed with sacrifice --so that we can continue to love others as He has loved us.

Jesús sigue llamando a nuestras puertas ...

La Arquidiócesis de Miami, a través de la Campaña de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD), abre la puerta para que todos nos unamos como una sola comunidad de creyentes para evangelizar y difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo, llevando esperanza a los necesitados. Les pedimos que amen a su prójimo, desinteresadamente y con sacrificio, mediante una contribución al ABCD, de modo que podamos unirnos para alimentar a los hambrientos, vestir a los pobres, cuidar de los enfermos y moribundos, y tocar los corazones de los que están en la desesperación. Su generosidad también nos ayudará a educar a nuestros hijos, y asistir a los más pobres de nuestras parroquias y escuelas, y a proporcionar refugio a las personas sin hogar. Juntos, vamos a seguir defendiendo la dignidad de toda vida humana, eliminando los prejuicios y promoviendo la justicia social. Jesús está tocando a su puerta y le invita a amar y servir a los necesitados a través del ABCD. Por favor, haga un donativo: un donativo bendecido con sacrificio, para que podamos seguir amando a los otros como Él nos ha amado.
