I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above

to fill your heart and bless your soul With the precious gift of love.

I asked Him for sincere love

The kind that's meant to stay Just like the generous love

You give to those you touch each day.

His love that knows no end.

Dije una oración de San Valentín por ti

Y preguntó al Señor arriba

Para llenar tu corazón y bendecir tu alma

Con el regalo precioso del amor.

Le pedí amor sincero

El tipo que está destinado a quedarse

Al igual que el generoso amor

Das a los que tocas cada día.

Oré por el amor de la familia

Y de cada amado amigo

Entonces le pedí al Señor que le diera

Su amor que no tiene fin.

PAGINA 7

Reflexiones para la Homilía

Había una mujer para que toda persona era importantísima. Tenia un fuerte sentido del respeto por todas y cada una de las personas, ya fuera un pobre mendigo de la calle, un niño pequeño o el presidente de alguna compañía importante. Una vez vio que una vecina que le había hecho mucho daño con mentiras e insultos sobre su reputación se había herido con un cristal en la calle y enseguida acudió a ayudarla. Cuando le preguntaron por que lo hizo considerando todo el daño que la vecina le había hecho, miro sorprendida por la pregunta y respondió rápidamente: porque es una persona. Esto es simple y llanamente, lo que nos dice Jesús en el evangelio de hoy. Toda persona humana es templo de Dios y el Espíritu habita en ella; por lo tanto, todo ser humano, sea cual sea su condición, raza o posición social, e incluso sea cual sea su carácter moral, merece un respeto profundo. Eso afecta a la actitud social y religiosa ante la vida, en general: desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural: por eso, cuando vemos villanos espantosos en televisión, podríamos pensar que se merecen lo que les cae encima: la muerte, la cárcel, la locura...y mirándolo fríamente, as es: se lo tienen merecido; pero desde el punto de vista de la dignidad humana en la que creemos por nuestro bautismo, ningún daño al cuerpo humano ni la muerte es aplaudible. Los hijos de Dios tienen esa enorme dignidad, hagan lo que hagan. Dios, como padre amoroso, nunca querría el daño o el mal para nadie, aunque desee muchísimo que la persona que se ha alejado de El regrese.
