33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time / 33 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ⦁ November 13, 2016

Reflexión

El proximo domingo, con la "iesta de Cristo rey, "inalizaremos el ano liturgico. Las celebraciones liturgicas y las lecturas nos preparan ya desde hoy a este cierre. Dispuestos ya para dar comienzo al Adviento, que nos preparara a la Navidad. Tambien llegamos al "inal con Jesus a Jerusalen que a lo largo del ano acompanados de la mano del evangelista Lucas nos trajo hasta aquı. Estamos con Jesus en el corazon de la ciudad en el Templo, contemplando sus maravillas. Ademas, se nos habla del "inal de los tiempos, Jesus nos describe como una fotografıa lo que en-tonces y ahora vivimos en la vida cotidiana. Guerras y revueltas, terremo-tos, hambre y peste. Tambien, podrıamos agregar situaciones fuertes de personas que emigran de sus lugares de origen buscando un mejor fu-turo. ¡El mundo sigue revuelto! ¿Que signi"ica todo esto? ¿Como nos sentimos al escuchar las lecturas de hoy? ¿Con miedo o con esperanza? La esperanza de la Iglesia en la constante invitacion a la formacion al discipulado debe ser un aliciente para todos nosotros. Trabajar con ahınco, unidos en familia, comunidad y sociedad en general, debe ser el compromiso de todo cristiano para lograr un mundo mejor. La actitud de seguir adelante es lo mas im-portante. Poner atencion sobre tantos falsos profetas de la actualidad que nos ofrecen bien facilito la comodidad y la riqueza como medios de salvacion. Respetenlos, pero no hagamos tanto caso a sus propuestas. El mundo nuevo del que nos habla el Senor se construye con perseverancia y arduo trabajo. "Sin embargo, no caera ningun cabello de la cabeza de ustedes. Si se mantienen "irmes, conseguiran la vida" (Lc 21, 19).

Reflection "You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name." This is not a pleasant prophecy. On the contrary, Jesus' somber words may strike us with a bit of fear and make us wonder if we will ever actually face such a tragic scenario. We are fortunate to live in a country where religious freedom is tolerated, and of course we hope that this continues to be the case. But the sad fact is that right now, there are Christians in other parts of the world who are living out the reality of these prophetic words. For these men, women, and children of faith, the name of Jesus truly is a cause of persecution and martyrdom. Let us imagine for a moment that the tables were turned. Suppose we were the ones suffering from the violent advances of anti-Christian forc-es. Suppose we were the ones losing our homes, "leeing for our lives, tending to our wounded loved ones, or worse. Where would we look for help? To other Christians, most likely, to those who would sympathize with our commitments but who still had the resources to assist us. We ARE those other Christians. We are the ones who share a common faith with these suffering brothers and sisters on the other side of the globe. We are the ones with the resources to help them, even if it is just in a small way. Our prayers for their protection and peace cannot be underestimated, but neither can we dismiss the signi"icance of contrib-uting in any way possible to those organizations that are working on the front lines to assist the suffering Church throughout the world. May we all do what we can to bring relief to those who need it most.

DEVOTION TO MARY (A Rose for Mary Ministry}

Blessed Virgin Mary Please Pray This Week Especially for

Deceased Members of the Legion of Mary

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who !led to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this con!idence, I !ly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The Rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In rela-

tion to the Blessed Mother it displays perfect love, form, fra-

grance, and color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us

that Our Lord Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up

his blood for all humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this

suffering and death !irst hand at the foot of the cross.
