MIERCOLES 29 DE JUNIO,
DIA DE SAN PEDRO Y SAN PABLO
Celebremos con devoción la festividad de estos Santos y
mártires símbolos de nuestra Iglesia.
DECIMOTERCER DOMINGO ORDINARIO
26 DE JUNIO DE 2016
Jesús, libremente, se dirige hacia Jerusalén para dar
cumplimiento al designio del Padre: “cuando se iba
cumpliendo el tiempo de ser llevado al cielo, Jesús tomó
la decisión de ir a Jerusalén.” Mientras iban de camino, le
dijo uno: Te seguiré a donde vayas. Jesús responde que
para seguirlo, hay que ser libres como Él que no tiene
donde reclinar la cabeza. Seguir a Cristo supone quedar
liberado de la esclavitud de los bienes de este mundo y
ordenarlos rectamente. Cristo, según los designios de
Padre, llamará a los Apóstoles para que, dejándolo todo,
le sigan, sean de los suyos y vivan su estilo de vida.
Nosotros, también seremos llamados por Cristo en el
Bautismo, para dejar todo lo que no sea Él para seguirlo y
conformar nuestra vida con el Evangelio. Seguir a Cristo
nos hace libres. Cristo nos da la libertad con su pasión y
muerte porque nos libera de la esclavitud del pecado.
NOVENA A LA VIRGEN DE LA MEDALLA MILAGROSA
