WE ARE SAINT JOHN OF GOD PARISH - COMMITTED TO FAITH, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY!

ST. JOHN OF GOD’S STAFF AND PARISHIONERS WELCOME FR. FREDDY LOZANO

Brothers and Sisters:

It is an honor for me to work with you in this parish of St. John of God.

I was born in the city of Buga, Colombia on the tenth of February in 1954. MY Father’s name is Milciades Lozano and my mother’s, Blanca Estela Cruz.

I entered the Redemptorist Congregation at the age of 14. There I received all of my secondary formation. My studies in Philosophy I completed in Bogota. In Mexico I finished Theology. I was ordained at the Basilica of Señor de los Milagros in Buga, Colombia the 29th of June in 1985.

I have a graduate degree in Philosophy and Theology from the University of St. Thomas, Bogota ,Colombia. I worked as a missionary in Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. I was also a chaplain for the Military in Colombia for nine years, and for twenty years I was a teacher of a secondary school. Now I belong to this Diocese of Rockville Centre. I have been working here for 15 years.

I have come to this parish to share with all of you the ministry that God has given me.

Your Brother in Christ,

Rev. Freddy Lozano Hermanos y Hermanas: Es para mi un honor poder trabajar con ustedes en esta parroquia de San Juan de Dios.

Nací en la ciudad de Buga, Colombia el 10 de febrero de 1954.Hijo de Milciades Lozano y Blanca Estela Cruz.

Ingresé a la Congregación de los Padres Redentoristas a la edad de 14 años. Allí recibí toda mi formación secundaria. Mis estudios de Filosofía los realicé en Bogotá y de Teología en Mexico, D.F. Me ordené en la Basilica del Señor de los Milagros de Buga, Colombia el 29 de junio de 1985.

Soy licenciado en Filosofia y Teología de la Universidad de Santo Tomás, Bogotá. Trabajé como misionero por Colom-bia, México, El Salvador y la República Dominicana. También fui Capellan de las Fuerzas Militares de Colombia por nueve años y por veinte años Profesor de Secundaria. En la actualidad pertenezco a esta Diócesis de Rockville Centre. Llevo 15 años traba-jando en ella.

He venido a esta parroquia para compartir con todos ustedes el ministerio que Dios me ha concedido.

Su hermano en Cristo.

Lectio Divina: es una forma de oración utilizando las Sagradas Escrituras. Se trata de un proceso de cuatro pasos, usando las Escrituras como base para conocer a nuestro Señor en una forma más profunda. Fue un proceso desarrollado por San Be-nedicto y se puede utilizar como oración individual o grupal.

4 PASOS: LEER, MEDITAR, ORAR, CONTEMPLAR

PUEDE COMENZAR CON UNA ORACIÓN AL ESPÍRITU SANTO: Ven, Espíritu Santo, ilumina mi mente, abre mi corazón para que yo pueda encon-trar en la Palabra a Cristo, el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida…...Ayúdame a seguir hoy, la llamada de Cristo de una manera nueva, conforme a tu palabra. Y lo digo por todos en el mundo, uno quien es enviado por el Señor, quiero ser un hermano/hermana, un amigo, ahora voy a ser un discípulo del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.

Paso 1: LEER: ¿Qué dice el texto bíblico? En el nivel más básico: ¿Qué está pa-sando en este pasaje bíblico? Usted tiene que identificar una PALABRA, FRASE, IDEA que toca su corazón…..que el Señor pone en tu corazón….. PRIMERA LECTURA: lea el texto en voz alta lenta y deliberadamente. REFLEXIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la lectura y permitir que el Espíritu Santo le revele UNA PALABRA, UNA FRASE, UNA IDEA/CONCEPTO que es el centro del significado del texto para usted (¿Qué le está diciendo el texto bíblico?). INTERNALIZAR: repetir la palabra o frase en voz alta o en su corazón.

Paso 2: MEDITAR: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Qué es lo que Dios quiere que conozca o vea a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Cómo este texto me habla a mi experiencia en la vida? SEGUNDA LECTURA: leer el mismo pasaje. LA MEDITACIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la pregunta: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través de este texto de la Escritura?

Paso 3: ORAR: Mi Señor me ha hablado en el texto Bíblico: ¿Qué es lo que le quiero decir a Dios en oración? TERCERA LECTURA: puede volver a leer el mismo pasaje. REFLEXIÓN: Jesús me ha hablado personalmente en este texto Bíblico. ¿Qué quiero decir a mi Señor en oración? ORACIÓN: diga su oración a Señor ya sea en voz alta o interiormente.

Paso 4: CONTEMPLAR / ACTUAR: Como resultado de mi oración, ¿A qué Jesús me está llamando HACER (esta semana) como resultado de este proceso? Por último, nuestra oración nos invita a la acción, en definitiva, a ser más compasivo y fiel. CONTEMPLAR: en lo que nuestro Señor está llamándome hacer como resultado de este proceso.

Lectio Divina: is a form of prayer using Sacred Scripture. It is a four step process, using Scripture as its basis to get to know our Lord in a more profound way. It is a process that was developed by St. Benedict and can be used in individual prayer or in a group.

4 STEPS: READ, MEDITATE, PRAY, CONTEMPLATE

MAY WANT TO BEGIN WITH A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: Come Holy Spirit, illuminate my mind, open my heart so I can encounter in your Word Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life…..Help me follow today, the call of Christ in a new way, according to your word. And let me be for all in the world, one who is sent by the Lord, let me be a brother/sister, let me be a friend, let me be a disciple of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Step 1: READ: What does the Biblical Text Say? At the most basic level: What is going on in this Scriptural passage? You have to identify a WORD, PHRASE, IDEA that touches your heart….that the Lord places in your heart….. FIRST READING: read the text out loud slowly and intentionally. REFLECTION: take several minutes to reflect on the reading and allow the Holy Spirit to surface a WORD, A PHRASE, AN IDEA/CONCEPT that is central to the meaning of the text for you (What is the Biblical text saying?). INTERNALIZE: repeat the word or phrase either out loud or in your heart.

Step 2: MEDITATE: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text? What does God want me to know or see through this Scripture Text. How does this text speak to my experience in life? SECOND READING: read the same passage again. MEDITATION: take several minutes to reflect on the question: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text?

Step 3: PRAY: My Lord has spoken to me in the Scriptural Text: What do I want to say back to him in Prayer? THIRD READING: may want to re-read the same passage again. REFLECTION: Jesus has spoken to me personally in this Scriptural text. What do I want to say to my Lord in Prayer? PRAYER: say your prayer to our Lord either out loud or interiorly.

Step 4: CONTEMPLATE / ACT: As a result of my prayer, what is Jesus calling me to DO (this week) as a result of this process? Finally, our prayer calls us to action ultimately to be more compassionate and faithful. CONTEMPLATE: on what our Lord is calling you to do as a result of this process.
