Guía Católica Para La Toma De Decisiones

Al Final de la Vida

Las decisiones al final de la vida, para nosotros y para nuestros seres queridos, están entre las más difíciles que jamás enfrentaremos.

Hay un movimiento en nuestra nación para legalizar el suicidio asistido, pero eso es una respuesta falsa y es un experimento peligroso.

Nuestra Iglesia ofrece consuelo y guía práctica para vivir y morir con dignidad.

Visite www.Catholic End Of Life.org. Vea el video y lea el documento del Obispo del Estado de Nueva York:

"Ahora y En La Hora De Nuestra Muerte.”

Aprenda por qué la Iglesia favorece el cuidado compasivo y por qué la Iglesia se opone al suicidio asistido por un médico.

A MESSAGE FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE!

While there is no written Dress Code concerning how the faithful should dress when attending Mass, common sense dictates proper and modest attire and an environment of silence and devotion when in the Real Presence of the Lord. Mass is not a social gathering. Those who recognize the Real Presence of the Lord in the Church show respect, reverence, and pride.

SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS WEEKDAY READINGS

Each of today’s readings calls attention to God’s graciousness toward humanity and our responsibility to live in a way that is worthy of this gift. In the First Reading, Moses reminds the people of the ways God tested them to be sure that their intention was to keep God’s commandments and also cared for them as they wandered through the wilderness. The manna and the water from the rock were small examples of God’s kindness toward the creation. But Moses wants the people to know that their real nourishment comes from God’s Word. The Second Reading is the conclusion of a long argument that also recalls the Exodus Story of the gift of manna in the wilderness. Paul used the story to highlight the enormousness of the gift that Christians receive in the Eucharist. It is so distinctively different from the social rituals of their pagan neighbors that Christians are forbidden to do both. Why? The answer is today’s reading: Eucharist is an authentic participation in the Body of Christ. (Anything else is idolatry.) Today’s Gospel is also about participation in the Eucharist. The evangelist presents the audience as quarreling—like Israelites did in the wilderness—about Jesus’ invitation to eat his flesh, because they thought he was advocating cannibalism. His response is even more shocking. “Those who eat my flesh (Greek trōgō, eat, also carries the sense of “gnaw on”) and drink my blood have eternal life” (John 6:54). In other words, the fullness of life belongs to those who fully and actively experience Christ in the Body and Blood. In references to the Eucharist or the manna in today’s readings,

what insights do you find about the meaning of the Eucharist? Considering the Psalm along with the other readings, what

connections do you see between God’s Word and God’s care and feeding of the people?

Like the Israelites in the wilderness, we can focus so much on

the difficult things in life that we miss the signs of God’s loving kindness. Where have you seen God’s kindness today?

Aunque no hay un Código de Vestimento escrito sobre cómo deben vestirse los fieles cuando asisten a la Misa, el sentido común dicta vestimento adecuado y modesto y un ambiente de silencio y devoción cuando en la Presencia Real del Señor. La Misa no es una reunión social. Aquellos que reconocen la Presencia Real del Señor en la Iglesia muestran respeto, reverencia y orgullo.
