Queridos Parroquianos,
El domingo pasado celebramos el sacramento de la confirmación para jóvenes y adultos de nuestra
comunidad latina. Quisiera felicitar a todos que recibieron los siete dones del Espíritu Santo en este día
especial. Durante el servicio pude ofrecer algunas palabras sobre la importancia de la comunidad latina
en nuestra vida parroquial Me alegra mucho pensar en todos los dones que han traído a nuestra
parroquia. Me regocijo en la manifestación de su fe que veo todos los domingos en nuestra Eucaristía. La
fe que tienen en Jesucristo y su amor por El es evidente. Vuelvo a agradecerles su presencia.
Por otra parte, también quisiera felicitar a Gabriel y Albertina Contreras, miembros de nuestra comunidad
que renovaron sus votos de matrimonio por la iglesia hoy. Les deseo muchos años de felicidad.
Comparto con ustedes un poema escrito por José María Olaizola S.J. que apareció en rezandovoy.org
¡Que Dios los bendiga con muchas bendiciones!
Padre Bob
Camino, verdad y vida
Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida... y aquí me tienes.
Un camino que recorrer,
una verdad por anunciar, una vida para darse.
Yo soy el camino.
Y si me andas, te garantizo cansancio, horas de flaqueza,
encrucijadas difíciles, pero también compañeros,
reposos, risas y un horizonte infinito.
Yo soy la verdad.
Si me proclamas, te señalarán, entre la incredulidad y la mofa, entre la incomprensión y el rechazo, pero
también sentirás que cantas, resucitas y anuncias un milagro.
Yo soy la vida.
Si me vives, tendrás lucha, miedo y cruz, pero también bienaventuranza,
perdón y resurrección.
