PASTOR’S CORNER Strive for a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ … unfailingly each day! St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta wants to help us. Her letter continues from last week: “Be careful of all that can block that personal contact with the living Jesus. The Devil may try to use the hurts of life, and sometimes our own mistakes – to make you feel that it is impossible that Jesus really loves you, is really cleaving to you. This is a danger for all of us. And so sad, because it is completely opposite of what Jesus is really wanting, waiting to tell you. Not only that He loves you, but even more – He longs for you. He misses you when you don’t come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don’t feel wor-thy. When not accepted by others, even by yourself sometimes – He is the one who always accepts you. My children, you don’t have to be different for Jesus to love you. Only believe – you are precious to Him. Bring all you are suffering to His feet – only open your heart to be loved by Him as you are. He will do the rest.” (taken from 33 Days to Morning Glory – Day 16). Again, I en-courage you to adopt the discipline of a sufficient, daily, quiet, personal prayer time with Jesus. Use the three steps: 1) Focus on the blessings of creation, life and re-demption and let your heart rise in gratitude and praise to God; 2) Confide in Jesus your sufferings, needs and questions – Listen for at least 5 minutes for His counsel; and 3) Pray for others with great compassion.
Blessings, Fr. John

RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO
Esforzarse para un encuentro personal con Jesu-cristo … ¡cada día sin descanso! Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta quiere ayudarnos. Su carta de la semana pasada continua: “Tengan cuidado de todo lo que pue-da interferir con el contacto personal con Jesús vivo. El diablo puede tratar de usar las heridas de la vida y algunas veces nuestros propios errores, para hacernos sentir que es imposible que Jesús realmente nos ame, que realmente está uniéndose a ti. Este es un peligro para todos nosotros. Y es tan triste, porque es comple-tamente opuesto a lo que Jesús quiere en realidad y está esperando decirte: no solo que te ama, sino más aún que esta anhelándote. Que añora que estés con Él. Él tiene sed de ti. Que siempre te ama, incluso cuando no te sientes digno. Cuando no eres aceptado por los demás, incluso por ti mismo, Él es quien te acepta siempre. Hijos míos, no deben de ser diferentes para que Jesús los ame. Tan sólo crean; tú eres precioso para Él. Deja todos tus sentimientos a Sus pies y sólo abre tu corazón para ser amado por Él así tal como eres. Él hará el resto.” (tomado de 33 Días hacia un Glorioso Amanecer – Día 16) Nuevamente, los animo a adoptar la disciplina de tener tiempo suficiente de ora-ción, diaria, tranquila y personal con Jesús. Usa los tres pasos: 1) Concéntrate en las bendiciones de la creación, la vida y la redención y deja que tu corazón se levante en gratitud y alabanza a Dios; 2) Confía en Jesús tus sufrimientos, necesidades y preguntas - Escucha por lo menos 5 minutos para Su consejo; y 3) Ora por los de-más con gran compasión. Bendiciones, Fr. John
