Fr. Schuessler’s reflexión para el 7-14-24
Continuamos nuestras reflexiones sobre el gran don de la Eucaristía durante este año de Avivamiento Eucarístico. La celebración eucarística central es la Misa. De nuevo, la primera parte de la Misa es la Liturgia de la Palabra. La segunda parte se llama la Liturgia de la Eucaristía. La Liturgia de la Palabra nos prepara para la Liturgia de la Eucaristía. Es posible que hayas escuchado el dicho de que la Palabra de Dios es una espada de doble filo. Nos consuela y nos desafía.

En él nos hemos convertido en hijos e hijas de Dios que lo llaman “Padre nuestro”. Nos desafía a vivir el camino de vida que nos enseñó Jesús. Algunas reflexiones del Papa Benedicto […]
