Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts! All

proclamation inspires the familiar hymn

we sing at the end of the Preface of the

Eucharistic Prayer; a very ancient proc-

lamation in our liturgy. We were born to

give God glory, and we proclaim it by the

way we live the Eucharist and bear

witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. As

we approach the purifying season of Lent

let us ask ourselves: Are we committed to

a life that gives glory to God?

Page 4: El Evangelio de san Lucas February 67, 2016 · 2019-09-18 · 11 Key Passage: Jesus said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply,

(UCAN)--Pope Francis urged Catho-lics in Asia to commit to “respectful dialogue” with followers of other reli-gions in a video message at the clos-ing Mass of the 51st International Eu-charistic Congress in Cebu City on Jan. 31.

“This prophetic witness most often takes place, as we know, through the dialogue of life,” Pope Francis told more than 1 million people, including some 12,500 delegates from 73 coun-tries, who attended the weeklong in-ternational gathering. Through the “testimony of lives transformed by God’s love,” Catholics best proclaim the promise of

“reconciliation, justice and unity for the human family,” he said. The pontiff urged Catholics to “go forth as missionaries to bring the mes-sage of the Father’s tenderness and mercy” and follow Jesus’ example by reaching out to others in a “spirit of respect and openness in order to share with them the gifts we ourselves have received.” “We are called to bring the bond of God’s merciful love to the whole humanity,” said Pope Francis, adding that every Catholic is called to bring the good news of Christ’s “redemptive love to a world in such need of recon-ciliation, justice and peace.” “Christ’s presence among us is not only a consolation, but also a promise and a summons,” he said, adding that it is important for every Christian “to be a true missionary disciple” in the midst of conflicts, injustices and hu-manitarian crises being experienced around the world. “We know how important it was for Jesus to share meals with his disci-ples, but also, and especially, with sinners and the outcast,” he said,

Who is my neighbor?

Pope calls for respectful dialogue with other religions By Editor Catholic News Service, February 1, 2016.

(Dialogue continued) adding that Jesus “was able to listen to others, to hear their stories, to ap-preciate their hopes and aspirations. ”Pope Francis again lauded the Filipino people's faith and resilience amid disasters as he recalled his visit to the country in January last year. "I was able to witness at first hand the deep faith and resilience of its people," the pope said, adding that since the Filipino people received the faith some 500 years ago "they have given the world an example of fidelity and deep devotion to the Lord and his church. The Catholic faith arrived in the Philippines in 1521 when Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed on the island of Cebu. The pope said Filipinos have since then become mis-sionaries, "spreading the light of the Gospel in Asia and to the ends of the Earth." Pope Francis pointed out that even as super typhoon Haiyan devastated the country in 2013, "it also brought in the goodness of others ... an im-mense outpouring of solidarity, gener-osity, and goodness." In his homily, Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Yangon, the pope's per-sonal envoy to the congress, thanked Filipinos for their hospitality and for "making us proud to be Catholics." "The fruits of [the International Eucharistic Congress] should be re-newed apostolic and missionary zeal. Go and proclaim Christian hope. Phil-ippines need hope. The church needs hope, our family needs hope," said the cardinal from Myanmar. The prelate called on Catholics to reach out to young people, saying that "instead of expecting the youth to return to the church, the church must return to the youth." "A church that neglects the youth writes its own death sentence," said Cardinal Bo.
