God’s Call
Oh San Lorenzo, generoso servidor de la Iglesia y diácono del pueblo de Dios, patron amoroso de nuestra parroquia, inspira en nuestros corazones el amor total y valiente por Cristo. Fortalecenos e intercede para que nosotros también demos nuestras vidas, poco a poco, hacia el avance de la misón de la Iglesia y la salud espiritual de nuestra parroquia. Ayúdanos a no temer el costo del disipulado, sino enfocarnos con fe en los gloriosos efectos de tu gracia en nuestras vidas. ¡San Lorenzo, ruega por nosotros!
The person who has been “saved,” who has “heard the good news of salvation,” still lives in an unsaved world, a world sadly oblivious to the presence of God. Today’s readings outline how the disciple is present in the world. The outline begins with Isaiah: “Share your bread . . . shelter the oppressed . . . clothe the naked” (Isaiah 58:7). Those who hear the word of salvation are not insensitive to the urgent needs of others. Then Paul reminds his flock that he brought Christ to them not in eloquence or wisdom, but by being with them in the “weakness and fear” of their daily lives (1 Corinthians 2:3). Final-ly, Jesus tells his disciples to go out into the gloom and darkness of the streets of the world and let God’s light shine through their good deeds. We disciples don’t save the world. To the extent, however, that we have heard the word of God and been awakened to God’s presence, we may spread that word and bring that presence to others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
La persona que ha sido “salvada” y que ha “oído la buena noticia de salvación” sigue viviendo en un mundo que no ha sido salvado, un mundo tristemente inconsciente de la presencia de Dios. Las lectu-ras de hoy bosquejan cómo el discípulo se hace presente al mundo. Ese perfil se inicia con Isaías: “Comparte tu pan con el hambriento. . . abre tu casa al pobre sin techo. . . viste al desnudo” (Isaías 58:7). Los que escuchan la palabra de salvación no son insensibles a las urgentes necesidades de los demás. Pablo le recuerda a su rebaño que él le trajo a Cristo no con elocuencia o sabiduría, sino que per-maneció con ellos “débil y temblando de miedo” en medio de su trabajo diario (1 Corintios 2:3). Finalmente, Jesús dice a sus discí-pulos que vayan a la desesperanza y oscuridad de las calles del mundo y dejen que la luz de Dios brille a través de sus obras bue-nas. Los discípulos no salvan el mundo. Sin embargo, si nosotros hemos escuchado la Palabra de Dios y hemos empezado a discernir su presencia, podemos proclamar esa Palabra y traer esa presencia a los demás. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to they protection, implored they help, or sought thy inter-cession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto 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 they mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Recuerda, oh muy gentil Virgen María, nunca se supo que nadie ha sido abandonado de tu protección, cuando imploró tu ayuda o buscó tu inter-cessió n. Inspirado por esta confianza, vuelo hacia ti, Virgen de las vírgenes,
madre mía.. A ti vengo, ante ti, estoy, pecador y triste. Oh Madre de la Palabra Encarna-da, no desprecies mis pet-iciones, sino en tu misericordia escúchame y contéstame. Amén.
