“Know also that you will probably gain more by praying fifteen minutes before the Blessed Sacrament than by all the other spiritual exercises of the day. True, Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, for He has made the promise, ‘Ask, and you shall receive,’ but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori

HELP WITH FLOOD RELIEF IN ARKANSAS

Catholic Charities can use your help. Please donate to the 2019 Flood Relief by sending a check to Catholic Charities of Arkansas, 2500 N. Tyler St., Little Rock, AR 72207.

GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN

The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that God always wants to be recognizable and familiar to us. Jesus, who is also truly God, wants to be on intimate terms with each of us. God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us understand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable provides practical advice for those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL DESEO DE DIOS PARA SER CONOCIDO

La lectura del Antiguo Testamento del libro del Deuteronomio alaba a Dios por escribir los mandamientos en nuestros cuerpos. La ley de Dios no es extraña o distante, sino una parte natural de nosotros. En su carta a los colosenses, san Pablo hace eco de Moisés, alabando a Dios por ser uno de nosotros. Él, verdaderamente humano, de carne y hueso, Jesús nos recuerda que Dios siempre quiere ser para nosotros alguien familiar al quien podemos reconocer, el que es verdadero Dios, quiere estar en buenos términos con cada uno de nosotros. El deseo apasionado de Dios para ser conocido por nosotros es tan maravilloso para disfrutarse. El Evangelio de Lucas nos ayuda a entender cómo responder. La parábola del Buen Samaritano nos provee de consejos prácticos para quienes creen en la intimidad del amor de Dios para ellos y quiere compartir ese amor con otros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“Para poder defender y proteger la vida humana, primero devemos considerer quiénes somos nosotros, en lo mós profundo. Dios nos crea a su imagen y semejanza, lo cual significa que estamos hechos para estar en relación amorosa con Dios. La esencia de nuestra identidad y valía, la Fuente de nuestra dignifad, es que somos amados por Él.”

Secretariado de Actividdes Pro-Vida de la USCCB “Edificar una cultura de vida”

Que nuestra nación y su gente logren reconocer la imagen de Cristo, el primogénito de la creación, en toda vida humana, roguemos al Señor
