Offertory Program Todo lo que hacemos aquí en la Iglesia San Jose se hace por el amor a Dios. Esto puede parecer obvio, pero ¿refl exionamos sobre eso lo sufi ciente? Hay mucho que hacer para mantener una parroquia en funcionamiento: administrar los sacramentos; proporcionar ministerios y programas; atendiendo a los necesitados, a los enfermos y al sufrimiento; cuidando el edifi cio y la propiedad. A veces podemos caer víctima de olvidar por qué estamos aquí. Podemos olvidar que somos una familia de creyentes, unidos en el amor de Dios, que estamos trabajando y esforzándonos por ser discípulos fi eles de Jesucristo. ¡Pero esto es lo que somos! Y es el amor de Dios el que nos une, sabiendo que Su Hijo nos mandó que “se amen unos a otros como yo los he amado” (Jn 15: 12, Biblia Latinoamericana). Cuando mantenemos esa misión a la vanguardia de nuestros pensamientos, palabras y acciones, todo cae en su lugar. Este es el corazón de lo que hacemos aquí en la Iglesia San Jose, y es una gran bendición poder compartir esta misión con ustedes. Es unido en el amor de Dios que ofrecemos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para edifi car el reino de Dios. Lo hacemos por: • Orar por otros y participar en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia. • Servirse unos a otros, especialmente a los más vulnerables. • Cuidar a los enfermos y a los que sufren. • Crecer más profundamente en la vida de fe. • Y difundir las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo a todos. Para vivir nuestra misión, necesitamos que todos los feligreses de San José se unan. Todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios, así que debemos devolverle a Él generosamente. Esto es amor en acción. Pedimos que los feligreses de San Jose consideren con espíritu de oración hacer un regalo fi nanciero a nuestra parroquia para ayudarnos a avanzar en esta misión más crítica. Como familia unida en el amor de Dios, podemos hacer mucho más juntos que separados. Ningún regalo es demasiado pequeño, y estoy muy agradecido de antemano por su generosidad. Mientras trabajamos juntos para llevar concretamente el Amor de Dios a un mundo muy necesitado de él, oro que permanezcan en el Amor de Dios, y que su alegría sea completa. Por favor, oren por mí también. En Cristo, P.
