28th Sunday in Ordinary Time / 28o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ⦁ October 9, 2016

Reflexión

Cada domingo durante el ano liturgico acudimos a Misa para estar atentos a la escucha de la palabra de Dios. La palabra a lo largo del ano nos va iluminando para descubrir de la mano de Jesus diferentes cami-nos que nos llevan a la conversion. Hoy las lecturas nos dan una perfec-ta leccion de como dar gracias a Dios en todo momento. Pero ob-servemos que fueron los extranjeros los que agradecieron a Dios los bene#icios de la salud recibidos. El pagano Naaman y el leproso samari-tano. ¿Que nos ensena este pasaje? ¿Somos agradecidos? O somos de los que creemos merecerlo todo. Fijemonos que los israelitas no sabıan agradecer a Jesus a pesar de todo lo que hacıa por ellos. Los curaba, les daba de comer, resucitaba muertos y ellos tomaban todo por ventaja. Ojala que estemos en el grupo de los que saben dar gracias. Que Dios nos ayude a tomar conciencia para no pertenecer al grupo de los otros. "¿Donde estan los otros nueve?" Sabemos que hay quien nunca da las gracias para nada, ni a la familia ni a otras personas, mucho menos a Dios. Saber dar gracias es un arte de humildad y educacion. Supone relacion con Dios que nos lo da todo y con los demas que nos llenan de detalles en la vida cotidiana. Pidamos al Senor que aprendamos no solo a pedir sino tambien a saber agradecer. ¡Hoy es un buen dıa para hacer-lo! "Jesus, maestro, ten compasion de nosotros". Nos narra el Evangelio que gritaban los leprosos, aguardando a la distancia. Acerquemonos al Senor en esta Eucaristıa; no nos quedemos lejos, el desea curarnos.

Reflection "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?" Jesus had worked a miracle of healing for ten people af#licted with leprosy. They had cried out for him to have pity on them, and he did. But only one mem-ber of this group took the time to return to Jesus, fall at his feet, and thank him. Why? Perhaps some were so busy rejoicing that they forgot to give thanks. Perhaps others thought they deserved to be healed and thus did not think in terms of gratitude for the miracle. Maybe some in the group weren't sure that the healing was going to last. Or, possibly, some of them were just sel#ish and lazy. Whatever the case, Jesus af#irms the one man who does the right thing: "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you." Jesus thus establishes this Samaritan man as our example. We too are to glorify "God in a loud voice" for all that he has done for us. So, what exactly has God done for us? What are the miracles in our lives that we have failed to notice, to believe, or to appreciate? Undoubtedly the answers will be different for everyone, with one main exception: we are all called to give thanks for the gift of life, of course. This is the #irst miracle God worked on our behalf! Bringing us into existence to live and love is a gift we might tend to take for granted. But surely, we can be thankful for more. We would all do well to re#lect on the multitude of God's gifts in our lives. Sometimes we have to pause long enough to think and recognize those things we should be grateful for. But a little effort in this regard is well worth it to avoid being like the ungrateful lepers. Instead, may we be the ones who give thanks where thanks is due.

DEVOTION TO MARY

(A Rose for Mary Ministry} Blessed Virgin Mary Please Pray This Week Especially for

Dora Griego

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it

known that anyone who !led to thy protection, implored thy

help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired

with this con!idence, I !ly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and

sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my

petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The Rose often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. In relation

to the Blessed Mother it displays perfect love, form, fragrance, and

color. For Mary the thorns on the rose remind us that Our Lord

Jesus Christ wore a crown of thorns and gave up his blood for all

humanity, as His Mother, Mary witnessed this suffering and death

!irst hand at the foot of the cross.
