Dear Parishioners The Gospel of this Sunday gives us the story of Zacchaeus the chief tax collector. Zacchaeus was seeking to see Jesus.he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus (Lk 19: 3-4). Zacchaeus sought Jesus, but from a distance, as it were, without any personal involvement. Eventually, he discovers that the Lord is far more eager to establish a bond of intimacy with him, to enter his home and stay with him. Jesus said to him: Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today (Lk 19: 5). As he comes face to face with Jesus, Zacchaeus sees the truth about himself and makes a decision that changes the direction of his life. Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over. (Lk 19:8) Are we eager to see Jesus as Zacchaeus was? Do we really want to see Jesus or perhaps do we want to avoid an encounter with him? Do we prefer not to see him, and/or, do we prefer not to be seen by him? If we already see him some way, then do we prefer to see him from afar, not drawing near, not venturing before his eyes, so as not to have to accept the whole truth that is in us? Every meeting with Christ must be a moment of decision, a moment of truth. Christ entering our hearts and home can bring us peace and healing. But we must desire to receive Jesus. He will come only as an answer to our longings.

Queridos feligreses, El Evangelio de este domingo nos presenta la historia de Zaqueo, el jefe de los recaudadores de impuestos. "Zaqueo estaba tratando de ver a Jess .... Y corriendo delante, subi a un rbol para ver a Jess" (Lucas 19: 34). Zaqueo busc a Jess, pero a partir de una distancia, por as decirlo, sin ninguna implicacin personal. Con el tiempo, descubre que el Seor esta dispuesto a establecer una vnculo de Amistad con l, para entrar a su casa y quedarse con l. Jess le dijo: "Zaqueo, date prisa, porque hoy voy a alojarme en tu casa" (Lc 19:5). Como l se encuentra cara a cara con Jess, Zaqueo ve la verdad acerca de s mismo y toma una decisin que cambia la direccin de su vida. "He aqu, la mitad de mis bienes, Seor, voy a darsela a los pobres, y si he obtenido mas de alguien le devolvere cuatro veces." (Lc 19:8) Estamos ansiosos por ver a Jess al igual que Zaqueo? Realmente queremos ver a Jess o quizs queremos evitar un encuentro con l? Preferimos no verlo o preferimos no ser visto por l? Si ya lo hemos visto de alguna manera, entonces preferimos verlo desde lejos, de cerca ni en pintura, no aventurarse ante sus ojos, para no tener que aceptar la verdad que est en nosotros? Cada encuentro con Cristo debe ser un momento de decisin, un momento de verdad. Al entrar Cristo en nuestros corazones y hogar nos puede traer paz y sanacin. Pero nosotros debemos desear recibir a Jess. l vendr slo como una respuesta a

The Promise:

La Promesa:
Las almas del justo estn en la mano de Dios (Sabidura 3:1) Nosotros, en cambio, somos ciudadanos del cielo (Flp 3:20) Te aseguro, que hoy estars conmigo en el paraso (Lc 23:43) Seor, para los que creen en ti, la vida no termina, si no que se transforma. Yo les aseguro que si el grano de trigo cae en la tierra no muere, queda infecundo; pero si muere dar fruto abundante. (Juan 12:24) En la casa de mi Padre hay lugar para todos; Si no fuera as, ya lo habra dicho; ahora voy a Prepararles ese lugar. ( Juan 14:2)

The souls of the just are in the hand of God! (Wisdom 3-1) We have our citizenship in heaven (Phil 3:20) I assure you, this day you will be with me in paradise (Lk 23:43) Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended Unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat, but if it dies is produces much fruit (John 12:24). In my Fathers house there are many dwelling places; I am going to prepare a place for you, that where I am you also may be. (John 14:2)

Let us Pray: All powerful and ever-living God, be kind and merciful to our sisters and brothers who have prayed to you in this church and left this life believing in you. May they be counted among your blessed ones forever. Amen.

Oremos: Dios todo poderoso Seor de la vida, que eres lleno de misericordia, escucha la oracin por nuestros hermanos que han sido parte de esta iglesia y han partido de esta vida creyendo en ti. Para que puedan ser contados entre los bienaventurados por siempre. Amn.
