REFLECTIONS
JOHN THE BAPTIST
Since June 24 falls on a Sunday this year, the Church has the
opportunity for a more intense celebration of the birth of
John the Baptist, who is often described as the last of the Old
Testament prophets and the bridge between Judaism and
Christianity. More commonly, John is known as the
“precursor” of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the Gospels report
John’s basic message: Repent, the kingdom is near at hand.
One greater than I is coming.
Though he was a wandering preacher who dressed in camel
skins and ate grasshoppers, John’s legacy is one of true roy-
alty. His origins are similar to those foretold by God through
the prophet Isaiah: “You are my servant, he said to me, Is-
rael through whom I show my glory” (Isaiah 49:3). John’s
humility—“I am not he”—was surpassed only by that of his
Lord Jesus, the humble servant who followed.

REFLEJOS
JUAN EL BAUTISTA
Ya que el 24 de junio de este año cae en domingo, la Iglesia
tiene la oportunidad para una celebración más vibrante del
nacimiento de Juan el Bautista, a quien se le describe como
el último de los profetas del Antiguo Testamento y también
como el puente entre el judaísmo y el cristianismo. Común-
mente a Juan se le conoce como el “precursor” de Nuestro
Señor Jesucristo. Todos los evangelios narran el mensaje
básico de Juan: Arrepiéntanse, el Reino de Dios está cerca.
Uno más grande que yo está cerca.
Aunque él era un predicador itinerante, vestido con piel de
camello, que comía saltamontes; el legado de Juan es uno de
verdadera realeza. Sus orígenes son parecidos a aquellos
anunciados por Dios por medio del profeta Isaías “Tú eres
mi siervo, Israel; en ti manifestaré mi gloria”. La humildad
de Juan, “Yo no soy él”, fue superada por la de su Señor
Jesús, el siervo humilde a quien siguió.

SPECIAL COLLECTION: PETER’S PENCE
SATURDAY, JUNE 30 & SUNDAY, JULY 1
The Peter’s Pence Collection is taken up worldwide to support the
most disadvantaged -- victims of war, oppression, natural disasters
and others in need of emergency assistance. Pope Francis has
asked us to “care for those who are in need of attention, under-
standing and help, to bring them the warm closeness of God’s love
through tangible actions of sensitivity, of sincere affection and of
love.” The Holy Father uses the Peter’s Pence Collection to
strengthen dioceses, religious orders, and struggling communities
of faith when they need it most.

COLECTA ESPECIAL: 30 DE JUNIO Y 1 DE JULIO
LA COLECTA DE LOS PENIQUES DE PEDRO
La Colecta de los Peniques de Pedro se recoge a nivel mundial
para apoyar a los menos privilegiados – víctimas de guerra, opre-
sión, desastres naturales y otras personas necesitadas de asistencia
de emergencia. El Papa Francisco nos ha pedido que “cuidemos de
aquellos que necesitan atención, entendimiento y ayuda, para lle-
varles la cálida cercanía del amor de Dios a través de acciones
sensibles, de sincero afecto y amor”. El Santo Padre usa la Colecta
de los Peniques de Pedro para fortalecer diócesis, órdenes religio-
sas y comunidades de fe en pleno conflicto cuando más lo necesi-
tan.
