TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

La mayoría de los cristianos fuimos bautizados en nuestra infancia o niñez en nombre de la Santísima Trinidad; es por eso que continuamente hay que recordar y aceptar nuestro bautismo y el reto de vivir según el Espíritu de Jesús como hijos e hijas de Dios. Esto se hace cada vez que nos persignamos o santiguamos con la señal de la santa cruz. Así mismo, nuestra fe y religión cristiana esta fundamentada en la Santísima Trinidad y cada persona que entra en nuestra familia tiene que pasar por la cruz y la resurrección. La señal de la cruz la trazamos en nuestro cuerpo desde la frente hasta nuestro vientre; del hombro dere-cho al hombro izquierdo— poniendo nuestro corazón casi al centro de este misterio. Muchos latinos termi-nan la señal poniendo el pulgar sobre el índice en forma de cruz y besándola confirmando el amor que noso-tros tenemos por la cruz de Jesús y el hecho que cargamos en nuestros cuerpos el efecto de esa cruz, la re-conciliación con Dios. Recordamos con esta señal nuestro bautismo muriendo a una vida de pecado y rena-ciendo por el Espíritu a una vida nueva en Cristo, para la gloria de Dios Padre. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LA RESPONSABILIDAD DE NUESTRA FE Hoy es un día para reflexionar sobre el hecho de que en el Bautismo, Dios Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo nos hizo hijos suyos. La primera lectura del Deuteronomio nos insta a anclar en nuestro corazón la verdad de que Dios es el Señor del cielo y de la tierra y que no hay otro dios. San Pablo nos recuerda que, al haber recibido el Espíritu de adopción en el Bautismo, ahora somos hijos de Dios. En el Evangelio Jesús nos encomienda la res-ponsabilidad de encontrar más discípulos. Estas realida-des hacen de la solemnidad de hoy un día de alabanza, adoración y responsabilidad. Es un día apropiado para agradecerle a Dios el generoso regalo de la fe que recibi-mos en el Bautismo. También es un día para pedirle a Dios fortaleza para asumir la responsabilidad de com-partir esa fe con los demás. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
