Ordinary Time: August 18th
Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time  St. Luke 12:49-53
Weekly Reflection: Jesus said to his disciples: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” Luke 12:49 This passage reveals two things to us. First, it reveals Jesus’ intention to “set the earth on fire.” Second, it reveals that He desires “it were already blazing.” What does it mean when Jesus says that He came to set the world on fire? Fire is a powerful image that offers much insight into the Christian life. First, fire consumes. So it is with Christ. He came to consume us. He came to transform our little lives into blazing fires. This reveals that there is much potential in each one of our lives. We have potential to become something totally new if we allow the spark of grace to ignite our souls. Reflexión Semanal: Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "¡He venido a prender fuego a la tierra, y cómo desearía que ya estuviera ardiendo!" Lucas 12:49 Este pasaje nos revela dos cosas. Primero, revela la intención de Jesús de "prender fuego a la tierra". Segundo, revela que Él desea "ya estaba ardiendo". ¿Qué significa cuando Jesús dice que vino a prender fuego al mundo? El fuego es una imagen poderosa que ofrece mucha información sobre la vida cristiana. Primero, el fuego consume. Así es con Cristo. Él vino a consumirnos. Él vino a transformar nuestras pequeñas vidas en fuegos ardientes. Esto revela que hay mucho potencial en cada una de nuestras vidas. Tenemos potencial para convertirnos en algo totalmente nuevo si permitimos que la chispa de la gracia encienda nuestras almas. Collect: O God, who have prepared for those who love you good things which no eye can see, fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your love, so that, loving you in all things and above all things, we may attain your promises, which surpass every human desire. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect Semanal: Oh Dios, que has preparado para aquellos que te aman las cosas buenas que ningún ojo puede ver, llena nuestros corazones, rogamos, con el calor de tu amor, para que, amándote en todas las cosas y sobre todo, podamos alcanzar tu promesas, que superan todos los deseos humanos. A través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.

Liturgy of the Hours-"Praying the Breviary""Seven times a day I praise you, because your judgments are righteous." PS 119:164“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours. In this way the Church fulfills the Lord’s precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world.”
