Twenty-sixth Thirty-third Sunday in in Ordinary Time Time September November 27, 201515, 2015 GETTING THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES It s going to get worse before it gets better is a phrase that prepares us to buckle up for a rough ride. We know that enduring a difficult time will require some strenuous physical or emotional energy on our part before we experience the calm of normality. Our past experience tells us that we can endure the difficult pressure better when we know how long it will last and if we know that something better awaits us. Getting through the tough times while holding to the promise that awaits us is the message of this weekend s readings. They point toward the promises of God s kingdom that will come after the maelstroms and chaos of this world. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Thank you for your support.

PARA SOBREVIVIR LOS TIEMPOS DIFÍCILES Las cosas van a empeorar antes de que se mejoren es una frase que nos prepara para un camino difícil. Sabemos que al atravesar por tiempos difíciles necesitamos tener suficiente energía física o emocional antes de poder vivir la calma de la normalidad. Nuestra experiencia pasada nos dice que podemos sobrevivir mejor las presiones si sabemos cuanto tiempo van a durar y si sabemos que nos espera algo mejor. Cómo atravesar los tiempos difíciles y al mismo tiempo creer en la promesa que nos espera es el mensaje de las lecturas de este fin de semana. Nos guían hacia las promesas del Reino de Dios que vendrá después de los malestares y el caos de este mundo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes. St. Clement Si no tienes esperanza, no encontrarás lo que está más alla de tus esperanzas.
