El mayor problema con esa actitud no es que nos
perdemos la verdad o los hechos, sino que nos perdemos
los regalos nuevos y sorprendentes que otros nos pueden
dar. Al igual que la gente del pueblo en el relato del
Evangelio de hoy, nosotros también a menudo nos
negamos a permitir que otros muestren los talentos que
pueden ser una buena noticia para nosotros.
Las lecturas de hoy piden hospitalidad, fe y
discernimiento. La hospitalidad abre las puertas de nuestro
corazón y nuestras mentes a los “forasteros” entre
nosotros, no importa lo familiar que él o ella puede
parecer. La fe nos permite aceptar los dones de los demás,
no importa cuán alarmante o “extraños” nos puedan
parecer. El discernimiento nos ayuda a descubrir a los
profetas entre nosotros, no importa lo increíbles que
puedan parecer. Hospitalidad, fe y discernimiento –
cultívalos. Así, nadie podrá traerte malas noticias.

FIESTA DE LA FE
El Vino
Mientras que el pan nos da la fuerza, el vino nos da la
alegría. Su consumo no es tan esencial como el agua, pero
al compartirlo hace sacra la vida aún más, refirma la
amistad y significa también la vitalidad humana. El vino
es la plenitud de la vida, es símbolo de la felicidad y
prosperidad. Siendo el nuevo Israel, la Iglesia, es el nuevo
vino que en ofrenda se presenta ante el altar. En el
Antiguo Testamento el mismo pueblo de Dios fue
comparado con una viña (Isaías 5:1 – 7). Al presentar el
vino con el pan al altar, estamos simbolizando nuestra
humanidad total, en sus procesos de cambio y aspiraciones
más profundas. Este vino que ofrecemos, nos recuerda lo
más íntimo y sagrado de un ser humano: su sangre y con
ella la vida en todo sentido. Como cristianos, beberemos
este mismo vino, siendo ya Sangre del Señor, porque con
esta acción estamos dispuestos a beber su cáliz, a
compartir su suerte, a asumir su cruz. Ofrecer pan y vino
en el altar es ofrecer nuestra propia vida a hacernos pan
para que todos coman; vino para que todos tengan vida en
abundancia.

LA ESPERA
Nuestro Señor prefiere esperar al pecador durante años
que dejar al pecado esperando por un instante.

The Annual Catholic Appeal seeks to raise a minimum of $8 mil-
                                            lion to provide programs and ministries throughout the Diocese
                                                    and support the local efforts of parishes like ours.
                                                      The goal at St. Joseph’s Church is $50,048.

           As of June 24th, 91 families have pledged $35,551. The ACA has received $29,879.99.
Once we exceed our goal, we will then receive 100% of all funds raised above this figure directly back to
                                                our parish.
