If you are unable to attend in-person to receive the Eucharist, you may say the Act of
Spiritual Communion Prayer:

                                       My Jesus,
             I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
                              I love You above all things,
                       and I desire to receive You into my soul.
             Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
                        come at least spiritually into my heart.
                     I embrace You as if You were already there
                            and unite myself wholly to You.
                     Never permit me to be separated from You.
                                         Amen.

Did You Know?
Teach children about dealing with disappointment
Many young children are facing a whole new world: less playdates, fewer in-person
classes, changing sports requirements, wearing masks, waving instead of giving
hugs. While this is hard, it’s a great time to talk to your children about how to handle
disappointment when things change. Talk to your children about God’s love for us
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church Hermosa Beach
and how even if we struggle to understand what is happening, God is with us
through it all. For more tips, visit https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

Enseñe a los niños a lidiar con la decepción
Muchos niños pequeños se enfrentan a un mundo completamente nuevo: menos
fechas de juego, menos clases en persona, cambios en los requisitos deportivos,
uso de mascarillas, saludos de lejos en lugar de abrazos. Si bien esto es difícil, es
un buen momento para hablar con sus hijos sobre cómo manejar la decepción
cuando las cosas cambian. Platique con sus hijos sobre el amor de Dios para
nosotros y cómo aunque luchemos por comprender lo que está sucediendo, Dios
está con nosotros para sobrellevarlo todo. Para obtener más consejos, visite

             Un mensaje del p. Carlos

Confesión de nuestra fe, es un compromiso.
Pensé en olvidarme del asunto y dije: “No lo recordaré; no volveré a hablar en su
nombre, pero había en mis entrañas como fuego, algo ardiente encerrado en mis
huesos. Yo intentaba sofocarlo, y no podía.” Pero Jeremías no pudo olvidarlo
porque esa había sido su confesión de fe en Dios. Incluso cuando se sentía
inseguro, confiaba en Dios, eso es lo que este domingo nos invita confesemos y
profesemos nuestra fe y hagamos obras de bien, no solo palabras.

Desde luego, Dios hará lo que tenga que hacer sin que nuestras posiciones le
coarten, como no podía ser de otra forma. Esperará nuestras oraciones y súplicas
pero, luego, al fin, con su infinita sabiduría actuará en consecuencia. El problema,
claro está, no es de Él, es nuestro. Y llega a ser muy grave cuando intentamos
domesticar o suplantar a Dios, en función de nuestras actividades humanas. Y así
querremos que haya un Dios español, o francés, o nacionalista, o comunista o,
incluso, ilusoriamente cercano a situaciones de pecado que él jamás podrá aceptar.

Por tanto, el principal mensaje de las lecturas de hoy se centra en esos dos prismas
que aparecen claramente explicados. De un lado, la realidad divina no siempre
fácilmente comprensible. De otro, la lógica “pequeña” de Jeremías y de Pedro. Y
como siempre, en términos humanos, pero muy cercanos a Dios se explica Pablo
de Tarso en su carta a los fieles de Roma. Les pide - nos pide a nosotros con
enorme sentido de la actualidad - que no se ajusten a las cosas de este mundo,
sino que se busque, mediante el ejercicio sereno del discernimiento, la voluntad de
Dios. Y cuando, airado, Jesús responde a Pedro con dureza, llamándole Satanás,
está mostrando el criterio de Dios. Jesús habla como Dios.

Pablo aproxima en lenguaje humano la realidad de Dios. Conviene, tal vez, hacer
hoy hincapié en el Evangelio de Mateo de la semana pasada, cuando Jesús
confiere a Pedro la dignidad máxima posible: ser su sucesor y vicario en la tierra.
Pero cuando Pedro vuelve a ser Kefas y se opone a los designios de Dios en la
carrera de obediencia salvadora de Jesús, el Señor lo aparta abruptamente de Él,
como todos tenemos que hacer con las tentaciones, no ceder ni durante un instante.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church Hermosa Beach
Y aquí, como decíamos antes, el problema es de Pedro, no de Jesús. El apóstol no
ha sabido discernir el camino de Dios que revela Jesús de Nazaret.

Y ese es un problema, o una carencia, muy importante para todos. Hemos de dejar
a Dios que actué y, asimismo, hemos de aceptar y reconocer por donde pasan los
caminos del Señor, respondiendo rápido y airadamente contra nuestra tentación
permanente: querer manipular a Dios y “hacerle de los nuestros”.

Por lo tanto no es fácil perder la vida aquí para salvarla, no, eso no cabe en nuestra
lógica tan interesada y querer ganar todo aquí y tenerlo todo allá también es nuestro
ideal, No, así no es la lógica de Dios, necesitamos morir, dar paso a Dios, estar
abiertos a nuestra conversión y cambio para poder construir el mundo de justicia,
paz, igualdad que deseamos, nosotros, porque ya Dios nos lo dio hace mucho.
Esforcémonos por entrar por la puerta Angosta. Paz y Bien.

                                            Dios que viajó antes y detrás de los
                                            israelitas en su viaje de la esclavitud a la
                                            libertad, rodea y apoya a los hombres y
                                            mujeres que trabajan en tu ministerio de
                                            sanidad hoy. nunca los deje, consuélelos
                                            y manténgalos bien. Dales la fuerza para
                                            cuidar a los enfermos y moribundos, así
                                            como la fuerza para recibir ayuda de
                                            otros. Estar con sus familias de todos los
                                            que sirven. Envía tu paz por sus
                                            ansiedades, alegría por sus miedos,
                                            esperanza por su desesperación y luz por
                                            su oscuridad. Oramos en la confianza de
                                            tu amor. Amén.
