Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 6, 2019

Vigésimo Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Mes Respetemos La Vida Octubre de 2019

From the time we are knit together in our mothers’ wombs until we take our final breaths, each moment of our lives is a gift from God. While every season of life brings its own challenges and trials, each season also gives us new opportunities to grow in our relationship with God. Today the gift of life is threatened in countless ways. Those who are most vulnerable, rather than receiving the protection they deserve, are all too often seen as a burden and as expendable. As new attacks on human life continue to emerge, we can be tempted to despair, but Christ instead offers us unfailing hope. Hope is not false optimism or empty positivity. Christian hope is something much more profound and goes to the very depths of our identity as followers of Christ. Hope is the virtue “by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit” (CCC, 1817). Like us, Christ entered the world through the womb of a woman. He willingly experienced the fullness of human suffering. He breathed his last on the Cross at Calvary in order that He might save us. Therefore, “God is the foundation of hope: not any god, but the God who has a human face and who has loved us to the end” (Spe salvi 31). Christians know “they have a future: it is not that they know the details of what awaits them, but they know in general terms that their life will not end in emptiness” (SS 2). For this reason, a woman experiencing a difficult pregnancy can find the strength to welcome her precious child into the world. A man facing a terminal diagnosis can see that the end of his earthly life is only the beginning of eternal life with Christ. The Church teaches us that “the one who has hope lives differently” (SS 2). Christ’s promise of salvation does not mean that we will be spared from suffering. Rather, the promise of salvation ensures that even in the darkest moments of our lives, we will be given the strength to persevere. By virtue of this Christian hope, we can face any challenge or trial. When the seas of life swell and we are battered by the waves, hope allows us to remain anchored in the heart of God. May we hold fast to Christ our hope, from the beginning of life to its very end.

Desde el momento en que nos unimos en el vientre de nuestras madres hasta que respiramos por última vez,

cada momento de nuestras vidas es un regalo de Dios. Si bien cada temporada de la vida trae sus propios desafíos y

pruebas, cada temporada también nos brinda nuevas oportunidades para crecer en nuestra relación con Dios.

Hoy el regalo de la vida está amenazado de innumerables maneras. Los que son más vulnerables, en lugar de recibir

la protección que merecen, son vistos con demasiada frecuencia como una carga y un gasto prescindible. A

medida que continúan surgiendo nuevos ataques contra la vida humana, podemos sentir la tentación de la

desesperación, pero Cristo en cambio nos ofrece una esperanza inagotable.

La esperanza no es falso optimismo o positividad vacía. La esperanza cristiana es algo mucho más profundo y llega

hasta lo más profundo de nuestra identidad como seguidores de Cristo.

La esperanza es la virtud "por la cual deseamos el reino de los cielos y la vida eterna como nuestra felicidad,

confiando en las promesas de Cristo y confiando no en nuestra propia fuerza, sino en la ayuda de la gracia del

Espíritu Santo" (CIC, 1817). Al igual que nosotros, Cristo entró al mundo a través del vientre de una mujer. Él voluntariamente experimentó la

plenitud del sufrimiento humano. Respiró por última vez en la Cruz en el Calvario para poder salvarnos. Por lo tanto,

"Dios es el fundamento de la esperanza: no cualquier dios, sino el Dios que tiene rostro humano y que nos ha amado

hasta el final" (Spe salvi 31). Los cristianos saben que "tienen un futuro: no es que

conozcan los detalles de lo que les espera, sino que saben en términos generales que su vida no terminará en el

vacío" (SS 2). Por esta razón, una mujer que experimenta un embarazo

difícil puede encontrar la fuerza para recibir a su precioso hijo en el mundo. Un hombre que enfrenta un diagnóstico terminal puede ver que el final de su vida terrenal es solo

el comienzo de la vida eterna con Cristo. La Iglesia nos enseña que "el que tiene esperanza vive de

manera diferente" (SS 2). La promesa de salvación de Cristo no significa que nos salvaremos del sufrimiento.

Más bien, la promesa de salvación asegura que incluso en los momentos más oscuros de nuestras vidas, se nos dará

la fuerza para perseverar. En virtud de esta esperanza cristiana, podemos enfrentar cualquier desafío o prueba.

Cuando los mares de la vida se hinchan y las olas nos golpean, la esperanza nos permite permanecer anclados en el corazón de Dios. Que podamos aferrarnos a Cristo

nuestra esperanza, desde el comienzo de la vida hasta su final.

Saturday 10/19-Sunday 10/20: Blessing of Spiritually Adoptive Parents and babies--all Masses Saturday 10/26-Sunday 10/27: Due Date Celebration-- cake and coffee after all Masses

SPIRITUALLY ADOPTIVE PARENTS! At 37 weeks, your spiritually adoptive child is close to being born! It's lungs are producing "air pocket" cells and will continue to do so until your child is 8 years old. Limited testing shows newborns appear to prefer foods that Mother eats during these last week's of pregnancy. Although no one knows when this process begins, this and other evidence indicate memory and learning functions begin before birth. Amazing!!! The sounds baby hears in these last weeks of pregnancy--such as Mother's voice and music--are often those that baby prefers after birth. Baby's hand grasp is firm, and amniotic fluid volume peaks. Baby continues to gain weight which is a sure sign birth is close! P!ease continue to pray for your little one during these last weeks in Mother's womb! Ref See Baby app

¡PADRES ESPIRITUALMENTE ADOPTIVOS!

A las 37 semanas, su hijo espiritualmente adoptivo está cerca de nacer! Sus pulmones están produciendo células de "bolsa de aire" y continuarán haciéndolo hasta que su hijo tenga 8 años. Las pruebas limitadas muestran que los recién nacidos parecen preferir los alimentos que la madre come durante las últimas semanas de embarazo. Aunque nadie sabe cuándo comienza este proceso, esta y otras pruebas indican que las funciones de memoria y aprendizaje comienzan antes del nacimiento. ¡¡¡Asombroso!!! Los sonidos que escucha el bebé en estas últimas semanas de embarazo, como la voz y la

música de la madre, son a menudo los que el bebé prefiere después del nacimiento. El agarre de la mano del bebé es firme y el volumen de líquido amniótico alcanza su punto máximo. ¡El bebé continúa aumentando de peso, lo cual es una señal segura de que el nacimiento está cerca! ¡Continúa orando por tu pequeño durante estas últimas semanas en el útero de la Madre!
