THE COSTS OF DISCIPLESHIP Today’s responsorial psalm, Psalm 40, is more famil-iar to us with the refrain “Here am I, Lord.” This “Here am I” is Jeremiah’s great prophetic response to God’s call. But to-day’s story of Jeremiah and the refrain “Lord, come to my aid!” remind us that there are always two sides to following the call of God. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews knew this, too. He reminded his readers that even weighted down with burdens and sins, we can still persevere by keep-ing our eyes fixed on Jesus, who himself knew the shame and pain of the cross, but saw beyond it to the joy of sitting at the right of the throne of God. Jesus himself gave the disciples a “sneak preview” of a baptism that would not be as wondrous as the one in the Jordan that inaugurated his ministry, but would be one of fire and anguish. Today’s words from scrip-ture may not be terribly soothing, but in their honesty and strength we can acknowledge the difficulties of daily disciple-ship, and take comfort in the assurance of our own salvation in Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy familiar por el refrán “Señor, date prisa en socorrerme”. La historia de Jeremías hoy y el refrán “¡Señor, date prisa en socorrerme!” nos recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos pa-

ra seguir el llamado de Dios. El autor de la Carta a los He-breos también lo sabía. Él re-cordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos agobien desgra-cias y pecados, podemos toda-vía perseverar si mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, quien también conoció la ver-güenza y el dolor de la cruz, pero vio más allá del sufri-miento, el gozo de sentarse a la derecha del trono de Dios. Jesús mismo dio a

sus discípulos una “idea” de un bautismo que no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que inauguró su ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las palabras de la Sagrada Escritu-ra hoy pueden no ser terriblemente apaciguadoras, pero en su honestidad y fortaleza podemos reconocer las dificultades que el discípulo enfrenta a diario, y consolarnos por la seguri-dad de nuestra salvación en Cristo.

“Dios es rico en misericordia . . .” Efesios 2:4

ENTRONIZACIÓN AL SAGRADO CORAZÓN Santa Margarita María relata que Jesús le explicó que la re-velación de Su corazón era un "último esfuerzo" de su parte para volver a encender el fuego del amor en un mundo en el que "la caridad se había enfria-do." ¿Suena como nuestro mundo de hoy? Hace cien años, el poeta británico William Butler Yeats escribió lo siguiente: Las cosas se desmoronan, el centro no puede sostenerse; La anarquía se ha desatado sobre el mundo, La marea de sangre se ha desatado y en todas partes La ceremonia de la inocencia se ahoga; Los mejores carecen de toda convicción, mientras los peores Están llenos de apasionada intensidad. Esto debería desarrollar en nosotros la importancia de la de-voción al Sagrado Corazón, descrito por varios papas como "la gran esperanza de la salvación para la humanidad." En nuestro mundo, que se ha enfriado debido a la pérdida de la fe en Dios, tenemos que ser radicalmente transformados por el amor de Cristo hacia nosotros. Jesús dijo: "He venido a traer fuego sobre la tierra y ¡cuánto desearía que ya estuvié-ramos incendiados!" Lk. 12:49 Experimente el fuego del amor de Dios a través de la Entroni-zación del Sagrado Corazón en su casa. Para obtener infor-mación, llame Anne-Marie d'Abadie - 443-2204 (Inglés) o Lynda Peña - 338-4306 (español)

SACRED HEART ENTHRONEMENT St. Margaret Mary related that Jesus explained to her that the revelation of His Heart was a "final ef-fort" on His part to re-enkindle the fire of love in a

world in which "charity had grown cold." Does that sound like our world today? One hundred years ago, British poet William Butler Yeats wrote the following: Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. This should impress on us the importance of devotion to the Sacred Heart, described by several popes as "mankind's great hope of salvation." In our world which has gone cold due to a loss of faith in God, we need to be radically trans-formed by the love of Christ for us. Jesus said, "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blaz-ing!" Lk. 12:49 Experience the fire of God's love through the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in your home. For information, call Anne-Marie d'Abadie - 443-2204 (English) or Lynda Pena - 338-4306 (Spanish)
