Wednesday, April 22 THE QUARRY HAS CLOSED MARK 6:1-13

Wednesday, April 22
THE QUARRY HAS CLOSED
MARK 6:1-13

Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
John 20:29

The advertisement held little importance for me, which was not the case for those who were interested. A few days later I heard a phrase on the radio that, combined with the earlier one, set me to thinking:  Do you enjoy youthful pleasures?

The statistics indicate that the world is becoming older, as is our Homeland within the world.
This is possibly because of the growth of life expectancy due to scientific advancements.

Unfortunately the balance is sought within mass assassinations, which are produced by the drug cartels.  There is no need to decapitate thousands of people, including children and youths who are following an obscure direction of gods and even darker religions. If you don’t believe me, watch it on television and read about it in the press.

Faith, like all social movements, implicitly carries hope in the future, in those who as of now or later will profess and spread it.

And young people are called to create the conditions and make the effort so that the quarry for young blood is never closed and so that the so-called elderly can continue to enjoy youthful pleasures.  Let us pray for the perpetuity of the message of salvation.


Prayer:  Lord, help us to keep the message of the Gospel alive.



LA CANTERA ESTÁ CERRADA
MARCOS 6:1-13

Porque me has visto, Tomás, creíste,
bienaventurados los que no vieron y creyeron.
Juan 20:29

El anuncio para mí tenía poca importancia lo cual no era lo mismo para los interesados.
Unos días después escuché en la radio una frase que unida a la anterior me puso a meditar: ¿Tiene usted el gusto joven?
Las estadísticas nos indican que cada vez el mundo es más viejo y dentro del mundo nuestra Patria.
Posiblemente sea porque cada vez la esperanza de vida crece gracias a los adelantos de la ciencia.
Lamentablemente el equilibrio lo queremos buscar en los asesinatos masivos, que son producidos por los “carteles” de la droga. No falta que se decapite a miles de personas entre ellos niños y jóvenes siguiendo una obscura orientación de dioses y religiones mucho más obscuras. Si no me cree vea la televisión y lea la prensa.
La fe como todo movimiento social lleva implícita la esperanza en el futuro, en aquellos que desde ya o más tarde habrán de profesar y difundirla.
Luego la juventud está llamada a crear condiciones y esfuerzos para que la cantera no esté cerrada y para que los llamados viejos puedan seguir teniendo un gusto joven. Oremos por la perpetuidad del mensaje de salvación.

Oración: Señor, ayúdanos a mantener vivo el mensaje del Evangelio.
