as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

FAITH AND HOPE

Faith and hope are closely united in today’s read-ings. The Israelites knew when the Passover was com-ing, and so were not in fear, but had faith and courage, “putting into effect with one accord the divine institu-tion.” In this we can see a foretelling of the Eucharist that we celebrate according to Christ’s command, “Do this in memory of me.” We see that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob died in faith, although they did not see fulfillment of the promise. We live in hope that our faith will be fulfilled every time we celebrate this sacrament. We too are not to be afraid, but to have hope that our faith will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ.

Lección de Catequesis de Verano Padres, el verano es el tiempo propicio para trabajar

con sus hijos ayudándoles a que aprendan las oraciones. Oren con ellos diariamente y ayúdenlos

a aprender de memoria.

Padre Nuestro Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo,

santificado sea tu Nombre; venga a nosotros tu Reino;

hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día;

perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos

a los que nos ofenden; no nos dejes caer en la tentación,

y líbranos del mal. Amén.

Devoción a la Divina Misericordia

Les a que nos acompañe a rezar la coronilla a la Divina Misericordia los Viernes 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. en el Salón de Ed. II. También reflexionamos en Sagradas Escrituras del domingo siguien-te con el motivo de estar mejor dispuestas a recibir la Pa-labra de Dios durante la Misa Dominical.

LA FE Y LA ESPERANZA

En las lecturas de hoy la fe y la esperanza están muy unidas. Los israelitas sabían cuando la Pascua se acerca-ba, y eso no les atemorizaba, sino que tenían fe y animo; “y de común acuerdo se impusieron esta ley sagrada”. En esto podemos vislumbrar un anuncio de la Eucaristía que celebramos de acuerdo al mandato del Señor Jesús “Hagan esto en memoria mía”. Vemos que Abraham, Sara, Isaac y Jacob murieron en la fe, aun cuando ellos no vieron cumplida la prome-sa. Vivimos con la esperanza que nuestra fe llegará a su cumplimiento cada vez que celebramos este sacramento. Nosotros tampoco debemos de tener miedo, sino tener esperanza que nuestra fe llegará a su cumplimiento en la venida de Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
