It begins! Jesus is doing something new. “He left

Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the

sea.” Jesus leaves his family, his profession of car-

pentry, and everything he has known and loved for

the previous 30 years. He goes because it is time.

Something new is beginning, and Jesus will not

begin it alone. “As he was walking by the Sea of

Galilee, he saw two brothers … he walked along

from there and saw two other brothers.” What does

he say to these men? “Come after me.” These

words are for Peter and Andrew, for James and for John. They are also for all of us.

“Come after me.” The adventure of discipleship will be strange, wild, and unexpected.

The Apostles surely didn’t know what they were getting into. But the invitation is accom-

panied by a promise. “I will make you fishers of men,” Jesus tells the first Apostles. No

more will their priorities be limited to this particular village, to the square miles of the Sea

of Galilee. Their eyes will be open to the kingdom of God, and their priorities will shift.

Most of us will not be called to roam the countryside, but we are invited to a similar shift

of priorities. “Come after me,” Jesus says. “At once they left their nets and followed him.”

Drop the nets of what you’ve demanded your life to be. Drop your self-seeking priorities.

Drop your concept of religion as a Sunday obligation and no more. Drop your disregard

for those outside your immediate social sphere. Whatever it is that keeps you from seeing

as Jesus sees, from loving as he loves, start to drop it today. Because the kingdom of God

is waiting for your yes!

“El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación, ¿a quién voy a tenerle miedo? El Señor

es la defensa de mi vida ¿Quién podrá hacerme temblar? (Salmo27). Es-

te salmo invita a confiar en Dios a pesar de la oscuridad que se vive: fal-

sas noticias, violencia, niños que lloran la separación de sus padres, pa-

dres que buscan justicia en medio de gobiernos corruptos. Sin embargo,

se sigue proclamando contra viento y marea que el Reino de Dios está

cerca para el que se convierte. En la Iglesia Católica de los Estados Uni-

dos, los obispos, sacerdotes y laicos comprometidos llevan el mensaje de

esperanza al mundo sufriente. Se sigue llamando discípulos a la misión,

que anuncien el Reino que sean esperanza y reto para combatir la incer-

tidumbre que vive la sociedad actualmente.

El Papa Francisco, nos invita a reflexionar y vivir siendo discípulos que dan testimonio del Reino con las siguientes

palabras: “Y esto se llama tener necesidad de convertirnos. Una vez más este tiempo nos dirige su llamamiento

profético, para recordarnos que es posible realizar algo nuevo en nosotros mismos y a nuestro alrededor, senci-

llamente porque Dios es fiel, es siempre fiel, porque no puede negarse a sí mismo, sigue siendo rico en bondad y

misericordia, y está siempre dispuesto a perdonar y recomenzar de nuevo. Con esa confianza filial, pongámonos

en camino.” ¿Qué acción social estas dispuesto a hacer para que el Reino de Dios se haga presente ahora?

¿Qué acciones buenas ves en tu familia y comunidad? Somos un pueblo en marcha, es importante salir del le-

targo de la oscuridad. ¡Cristo es la Luz y la esperanza! No le defraudemos.

DECLARACION

ANUAL

¿Sabe Usted? Evalúe las relaciones con base en el contexto Podemos pensar que sabemos suficiente sobre los límites apropiados en las relaciones, pero los límites son complicados, aun para los adultos. Los niños dependen de los adultos para definir lo que es apropiado y lo que no es, en el contexto de las relaciones. Por ejemplo, algunas caricias son “seguras” o “inseguras”, dependiendo de quién haga las caricias, un padre de familia, un extraño, un profesor, etc. Para más información, obtenga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Keeping in Touch with Important Distinctions” (Manteniéndose al tanto de distinciones importantes), en http://www.la-archdiocese.org/
