Padre Louis Rojas - 17 de mayo (en español)

St. Philip Catholic Church: When we listen to that Gospel and listen to the of the Apostles, what does for us? We have to see what it implied or what Jesus It's very simple. Go and baptize all the peoples in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Teach them everything I have taught them. to you. Remember that I with you until the end of the world. Those who just told me that I never repeat what we but these words are very important. They are telling us what we have to do. And it's just an order, a banning, as we want to see it, for the people of their time. For that great commission that Jesus gave to the Church, not only to the apostles, but also the 500 people who were there with him that day. There it doesn't say that were 500, but we know that from other readings, especially were 500 people who were with them in our mountain. But what does it to us? Como iglesia. Porque nosotros, las iglesias orientales, también las orzolos iglesias, hacen lo que usted y yo hacemos cuando entramos a la iglesia. Nos percinamos. ¿Por qué? ¿Qué quiere? ¿Qué es lo que estamos diciendo? ¿Qué es lo que estamos demostrando en esa acción? Pero más importante, ¿qué es lo que nos estamos recordando? ¿Qué estamos proclamándole? to people who see Because not all Christians, the Protestants, they don't worship us as Catholics, our brothers in the East, who are Catholics and those who are Orthodox, doing the same as us. Because that will remind us of two things. First, what we going to when I talking to you. The bathroom. that each one us received. Some may not remember, some may remember, because they when they 20 years before they get They bring so that they can baptize, have communion, confirmation, and marriage, and who knows what else. the same time, all at the same time. But some us, like me, they us when we were little. Six months, one year, two years, more or less. Around there. No bigger. And it us to the to the of water. And there they give us this commission that Jesus is giving us. Because we members of this church, of this body of Christ, the mandate of Jesus. It was not until that time that it It's two thousand years, but it's today also. To you who have heard this commandment. The Holy Trinity. For first time in the Holy Scriptures, Jesus spoke of the Father, the Son, and Holy He didn't say much, but the promise was moved by the words. The Holy Trinity. And you and I were baptized through the Holy Trinity. When you come here and touch the water and it dirty, we must do those two things. Remember to proclaim the Holy Trinity, in which we were baptized. And then, most of us, 90 % of us, have been in a mass during Easter, in which you, by your own will, those who did it, You renew the promises that our godfathers and our fathers made for us when we little. You didn't force yourself take responsibility for what those promises ask of each one us. Most of the we get fascinated, but I don't understand why. When I pray for our Father, We one thing that pray that it be here, as it is in heaven. And what is it? The kingdom of God. That God's will on earth as it in heaven. That's we're doing. It's what we have to do. Establish as much we can with our lives, with our testimony, the kingdom of God on earth. But we like We recognize the devil that has been presented from beginning of the human being until today, brings it to the world. And he changes every time, to make it more beautiful, pleasant, so that we can Today, what is it? How is manifesting itself in the world? And most us... We attention to what's happening. Yes, yes, it is. Because it's in there, it's so that we know exactly what it wants to do. What? To take us away from the Kingdom of God. Not letting you and I be the apostles, the disciples today of Christ Jesus. The way they present what's happening in the world. Oh, we are here so that everyone is equal. That everyone has the same rights. That everyone has the same freedom. But we have to study a little bit how is changing. How that idea that is good and we must be free, we must have that freedom, the dignity that God gave but the world doesn't give that. I don't want to man anymore, I'm not going to a woman. It's accepted. We have to respect that. I want to live in free It's okay. Do it. Live together. Maybe that way you'll fall in love and you'll love each other. And if not, it's okay. Go your separate It's okay. That's not what God says. Not what God wants from us. Make a commitment. Make an alliance that we make. by means of baptism, it is confirmed in Confirmation, and it is fed with the Eucharist. Most us are taking of that. Thank God that He is not. Because we ourselves the illusions of the world, we let ourselves go with that. And we are all guilty. Some say that I am No, me too. Be careful, we have to be always ready. As say, the commercials are in Mexico more than here. I've seen But I TV in Spanish here. We have to very careful. Very careful. Always be on guard, taking watching what's going on. How the hell did get involved with the government? How did get involved in the church itself too? How did they involved in how we think? God bless you. ⁓ And they They left After being with him for a year and half, almost two years, you ask the disciples, and you are going to And the answer that has a big mouth is called, Father Pedro. Lord, whom are we going to You have the words of eternal You are the one who, we are going to follow. You are the one who is going to cheer us up, give us hope. Ama. And not forgiveness. That's what He's asking us today, to renew ourselves in this mission that He is giving to each one us. Oh, no, that's are the Fathers, that's why are the religious or sisters. Oh, that's there are the people who are in the different ministries. That's their not mine. No brothers and sisters. The load is on all us as a Church, on all of us as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. If we are the body, want to where our head which Jesus. That is the struggle. The world shows us something different. It makes think that whatever I want to is right because I have that freedom. But God gave us some guides. Hey, killing, stealing, living in a free seeing things that we be seeing, doing things, stealing, lying, all those things. God said, that's right. I think they're going start throwing stones. I'm going to finish it. But it is a burden that the Lord gives us, heavy. For me, as I have told you, you, those who are parents, you will have to respond to your children. Yo tengo que responder por todos ustedes porque yo no hice, porque yo no hablé de cosas que tengo de hablar, de enseñar, ayudarles a ustedes como yo mismo que todos. Sigamos al Señor y estamos en esa pregrenación ese día cuando Él nos llame.
