Que Es Una Mision?
POR: JESUS LEON
En los dias del 7 al 11 de febrero proximo se va a celebrar la
Segunda Mision Catolica Hispana de Atlanta en la Catedral de
Cristo Rey y durante varias semanas se ha estado haciendo
publicidad sobre la Mision para hacer llegar esta notieia a todos
los hispanos de Atlanta.
La publicidad trata no solo de difundir la notieia de que VA
A HABER UNA MISION sino tambien, e importantisimo, de
comunicar EL PORQUE DE UNA MISION. Por eso en este
articulo voy a tratar de esbozar algunas ideas sobre QUE ES
UNA MISION para asi poder contestar mejor EL PORQUE DE
UNA MISION. Estas ideas que comparto con ustedes se basan
en un sermon del Rev. Mosenor Eusebio Beltran en el cual el
mencionaba cuatro caracteristicas de una mision.
Primero, una mision es una oportunidad para renovarnos
espiritualmente pues de la misma manera que nuestro cuerpo
necesita descanso, tambien nuestro espiritu necesita renovarse.
Todos nosotros disfratamos de nuestras vacaciones pues estas
nos sirven para descansar del trabajo y de la rutina diaria y nos
dan fuerzas para reanudar nuestras vidas normales. Igualmente,
la mision nos sirve para renovarnos espiritualmente de forma
que podamos resumir nuestra vida cristiana con mayor brio y
con mayores posibilidades de crecer espiritualmente a nivel
individual y a nivel familiar.
En segundo lugar, una mision es una oportunidad para poder
desarrollar los talentos que Dios nos ha dado. En la Primera
Carta a los Corintios, Capitulo 12, Versiculos 4 y 5, dice San
Pablo: “Hay diversidad de carisrnas, pero el Espiritu es el mismo;
diversidau de ministerios, pero el Senor es el mismo”. La mision
nos ayuda a desarrollar estos carisrnas para ser mejores cristianos
y, por lo tanto, para ser mejores padres, madres, hijos,
hermanos, amigos, etc., etc.
Otro fruto de la mision es el poder despertar un mayor
interes en nuestra fe. Muchos de nosotros decimos que somos
catolicos y hasta vamos a la igiesia regularmente pero sabemos
menos de Dios, de Cristo y de la Igiesia que lo que sabemos de
pelota o de modas o de politica. La mision nos ayudara a
conocer un poco mas a Dios y a nuestra Igiesia.
Finalmente, la mision es un medio especialisimo para recibir
la gracia de Dios. Hay momentos en nuestras vidas en que
sentimos a Dios mas cerea de nosotros que otras veces; son
ocasiones en la cuales la presencia de Dios se nota
especialmente. Pues bien, la mision es una de estas ocasiones y
tan es asi que los concurrentes a la mision estan alegres, se
sonrien y son mas corteses y amables que en otro momento. Y
esto no es mas que UN REFLEJO de ese amor de Dios que se ha
desbordado en la mision en una forma muy especial.
La meditacion de estas ideas nos ayudara a comprender un
poco mejor lo QUE ES UNA MISION y asi podremos entonces
contestar dos preguntas muy importantes para todos los que
pensamos ir a la MISION: PARA QUIEN ES LA
MISION? . . . y . . . QUE FRUTO VOY A SACAR DE LA
MISION? Y yo contesto estas preguntas diciendo, primero, que
la mision es PARA TI Y PARA MI que podemos y debemos ser
mejores padres, madres, hijos y hermanos: y, segundo, que el
fruto de la mision lo sacaremos dependiendo del interes que
pongamos en ella. El amor de Dios esta esperando por nosotros
en la Mision. El nos espera en la Catedral el lunes 7 de febrero a
las 8:00 P.M. De ti y de mi depende el fruto. Por eso te invito a
vemos en Cristo Rey el dia 7. Hasta entonces.

Latin American Collection
January 30 is the day for
the annual Collection for
Latin America. This
collection provides funds for
Church approved and
sponsored projects
throughout Mexico, the
Caribbean, Central and South
America. It is our way of
helping the Church in these
impoverished areas develop
local solutions to local
problems.
Your contribution is a
collective “Witness of
Solidarity” with the hundreds
and thousands of dedicated
bishops, priests, religious and
lay people in every single
country of Latin America
whose lives are far different
from ours. Their struggles are
for religious freedom, social
justice, and a humane quality
of life. Their burdens are
ignorance, hunger, violence,
and oppression. Your dollars
become programs for
education, job training, social
change, and pastoral care.
The Church in Latin
America asks very little of us,
compared to what it is giving
and suffering. It asks for our
witness of support and
concern and love by our
sharing of what we have with
those who have so little.
Please offer your “Witness of
Solidarity” by making a
generous contribution at your
parish this Sunday.
II TIC AN RADIO
Blasts Gilmore Execution
VATICAN CITY (NC) - In the first Vatican comment on the
Gary Gilmore execution, Vatican Radio said Jan. 18 that it was
a woefully inadequate response by American society to the
needs of a troubled man.
The radio also said that “disquieting legal and moral
questions are left unanswered” by the firing-squad execution of
Gilmore at a Utah prison Jan. 17.
“The Salt Lake City execution cannot but evoke a great deal
of pity,” the radio said in an editorial the day after the
execution.
“The fact that a man who asked to die is slain does not make
the killing any less distressing. Perhaps it is even more
distressing, since it shows how little love was communicated to a
man who wanted to end his life and how inadequate is the
response of a firing squad to a person who calls upon death as
his supreme liberation.”
Unlike Vatican Radio, the Vatican daily newspaper
L’Osservatore Romano printed neither a comment nor a news
report on the spotlighted execution.
Last summer, responding to questions from the American
bishops, the Vatican Justice and Peace Commission sent a
memorandum supporting abolition of the death penalty for
ethical reasons.
Noting in its editorial that eight black nationalists were
hanged in Rhodesia the same day as the Gilmore execution,
Vatican Radio harshly criticized what it called the “bias and
double standard of public opinion.”
“Yesterday while Gilmore fell under the fire of his
executioners, eight black nationalists were hanged on the
gallows of the racist government of Ian Smith in Salisbury, but
one would look in vain for a trace of this news on today’s front
page,” lamented the broadcast.
The radio asserted that the case for the death penalty is
murky when viewed under its juridical, moral and criminological
aspects. “But it becomes even more complicated when seen as
the exercise by the state of a power which is so exceptional,”
added the radio.
The editorial said that world opinion is almost unanimous in
condemning the “Roman Circus atmosphere” of the execution.
“Many comments defined this as disgusting and obscene,... a
staging unworthy of a civilized country.”
It added that many are now worried over what will become
of the 350 others on death row in the United States, “the
majority of whom are black.”
