Religious Education News

Pope Francis encourages us to “build our lives on the essentials…” Being Catholic means being part of a larger family of faith. Our Catholic Appeal mobilizes our entire diocesan family to support ministries that benefit far more people than we could ever reach alone.

CATECHISTS NEEDED!!!!! For 1st & 7th Grades

We are in desperate need of catechists for our religious education program. We need committed, dedicated indi-viduals that enjoy working with children of all ages. You must be willing to attend bi-monthly meetings, attend classes to become a Certified Catechist in the Diocese of Orlando and must be able to pass a fingerprint and back-ground check that is mandated by the Diocese. Please contact Fr. Bart, Linda Jones or Olga Miyar if you are interested in this very special ministry.

THE WAY OF LOVE

Although today's readings might seem drearily preoccupied with sin, Saint Paul explains why sin is important to discuss: because every sin reduces the amount of love in the world. Paul turns the focus from sin to love when he writes, "Love is the fulfillment of the law" (Romans 13:10). What power that verse contains! If we begin each day by reciting that verse, we would be well on our way to a more generous life--not only avoiding sin as much as possible, but also actively seeking out ways to make life sweeter for our neighbors. Memorized verses inspire us when we face difficulties during the day, when we are irritated with someone, for example, or we need to make a decision. Remembering that "love is the fulfillment of the law"

might truly help us avoid sin and do good in daily life.

THE WAY OF PRAYER

Learning a scripture verse by heart is, of course, a way of praying. In today's Gospel, Jesus encourages us to pray. Jesus firmly believes in the power of prayer, going so far as to guarantee results: "I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father." Jesus promises something else, too, something vitally important. More than a game of Go Fish in which we hope we "got what we asked for," prayer is a living encounter with Jesus himself: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of

them."

Today's readings move us beyond the bare minimum and open an enormous world to us. We shun the pettiness of sin not because we fear punishment, but because we want to love others deeply. We pray to our great God not because we want to get favors from a divine vending machine, but because we

want to spend time with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

EL CAMINO DEL AMOR

Aunque las lecturas de hoy podrían parecer tristemente pre-ocupadas con el pecado, san Pablo explica porque el pecado es importante para discutir: porque cada pecado reduce la cantidad de amor que hay en el mundo. Pablo cambia el enfoque de pe-cado a amor cuando él escribe: "cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar" (Romanos 10:13). ¡Que fuerza tiene ese versículo! Si empezamos a recitar esa frase, estaríamos bien en nuestro camino a una vida más generosa, no solo evitando el pecado lo más posible, sino también activamente buscando for-mas de hacer la vida más agradable para nuestros prójimos. Memorizar versículos nos inspira cuando enfrentamos difi-cultades durante el día, cuando estamos irritados con alguien, por ejemplo, o necesitamos tomar una decisión. Recordando que "cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar" podría verdader-amente ayudarnos a evitar el pecado y hacer el bien en nuestra

vida diaria.

EL CAMINO DE LA ORACIÓN

Aprender un versículo de la Biblia de memoria es, desde luego, una forma de hacer oración. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos anima a rezar. Jesús firmemente cree en el poder de la oración, avanzar es una garantía de obtener resultados: "Yo les aseguro también que, si dos de ustedes se ponen de acuerdo para pedir algo, sea lo que fuere, mi Padre celestial se lo con-cederá". Jesús promete algo más también, algo vitalmente im-portante. Más que un juego como el de Ir a Pescar en el cual esperamos "obtener lo que pedimos"; la oración es un vivo encuentro con el mismo Jesús: "pues donde dos o tres se reúnen en mi nombre, ahí estoy yo en medio de ellos". Las lecturas de hoy nos mueven más allá de lo pequeño y abre un mundo enorme para nosotros. Rechazamos la mezquindad del pecado no porque temamos el castigo, sino porque queremos a amar a nuestro prójimo profundamente. Oramos a nuestro Dios todopoderoso no porque queremos favores de una máqui-na que dispensa golosinas, sino porque queremos dedicar un

tiempo con nuestro Señor y Salvador, Jesucristo.
