3er. Domingo de CuaresmaNo te harás ídolos de cualquier forma.

Éxodo 20:4¿Cuántos “dioses” anteponemos a Dios? Los ídolos no siempre toman la forma de cosas físicas, cosas que podemos tocar y sentir. Esos son fáciles de reconocer. Muchas veces toman la forma de cosas que no podemos tocar y son mucho más difí-ciles de detectar como el orgullo, el poder, el ego, el tiempo, la comodidad o la salud. Rece pidiendo la ayuda de Dios para eliminar nuestros vicios y crecer en virtud.

Stewardship Reflection3rd Sunday of Lent

You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything…

Exodus 20:4How many “gods” do you put before God? “Idols” do not always take the shape of physical things, things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we cannot touch and are much harder to spot like pride, power, ego, time, comfort or health. Pray for God’s help to prune our vices and to grow in virtue.

Please remember in your prayers all those listed in our book of the sick. We pray for those who have died.
