MENSAGEM PARA O TEMPO PRESENTE
No texto do Evangelho de Marcos, surge o Profeta João Batista a anúnciar que o Reino de Deus está próximo de se concretizar. O Reino acontece em Jesus Cristo, a quem aderimos na Fé, pelo batismo e no fogo do Espírito. O acolhimento do Reino exige de nós mudança de mentalidade e atitudes (conversão de vida). ❥❦❧♠♥♦♣q♦r-♥❧st ✉✈♣♦✇rq①r ♠① ②❧① ③❧♥①t④ Temos necessidade de ouvir palavras novas⑤ ⑥⑦⑧⑦ ⑨⑩❶❷❸❶❹⑤ ❹⑧⑦❶⑤ ⑧❺❻⑩❶❺⑥❼❶❽❺❹⑤ ❾⑩❶❽❿⑦⑤ ❻⑦➀❺❽❹❶➁⑩❽❹❽⑩⑤ ❶⑩❻❾⑩❺⑨⑦⑤ ➂❸⑩façamos calar as palavras antigas como violência, ódio, vingança, indiferença, racismo! Temos necessidade de ter gestos novos com assinatura de paz, dom, partilha, que façam desaparecer gestos antigos como declaração de guerra, rancor, crispação e egoísmo. Viver no acolhimento do Reino, implica que nos disponhamos a assumir uma linguagem nova e novas ações. Sendo rosto visível de Cristo no meio das pessoas, podemos dar testemunho de união e de amor, de partilha e de entreajuda, do perdão e da misericórdia, e de acolhimento dos irmãos mais descartados➃sempre a exemplo de Jesus. É a partir de cada um de nós que começa um mundo novo. É a partir dum coração novo de cada um de nós, que o mundo poderá ter um novo coração. Não adiemos essa essencial urgência para haver Natal neste 2017.
Os Sacerdotes.
MUDANÇA DE DIREÇÃO DOS PAROQUIANOS Pedimos aos paroquianos que mudaram ou vão mudar de morada que informem a Paróquia ➄ passando pela Sacristia depois da Missa ou telefonando para a Reitoria ➄ 508-676-1184.
