 The past year has been a difficult one in many ways. Navigating life through a
pandemic has been at times confusing and complicated. And while it’s easy to
point to all the physical things that have changed in day-to-day life, it may be
harder to recognize that spiritual lives have been affected too.
Many of us attended Mass on-line for weeks and months at a time. Not seeing
friends or family meant a loss of sharing our lives with loved ones and neighbors.
It was a time of solitary prayer and for reading spiritual books, which are both
good things. But sometimes a steady diet of solo prayer and self-reflection can
lead to stagnation. It can feel like your relationship with God is not growing or
progressing as much as you’d like. Maybe you feel a little stuck and you’re not sure what will help you get back on track.
Spiritual direction is a great tool to use to grow in faith and deepen your relationship with God. Partnering with a director provides
a dedicated time to talk about your struggles and challenges in relating to the Lord and to the people in your life. It also gives you a
place to recognize the joys, big and small, that are gifted to you each day.
Growing into a closer relationship with God and others is the goal of our lives. Meeting with a spiritual director once a month for
an hour can help you work on that goal through reflecting on your prayer life and examining your connection to the Divine. It’s a
spiritual practice that can help you refocus on your spiritual life and grow in love as a child of God.
I am a certified Spiritual Director and have been a parishioner of St. Pius X for over thirty years. If you are interested in starting
direction, or just have questions, I’d love to talk to you about it. There are several options available to meet safely in an
environment that is comfortable for you. The spiritual life is the journey of a lifetime. Why walk alone?

Bienvenidos a su Parroquia de San Pío X!

Misa.

NADIE TIENE LA EXCLUSIVA DE JESÚS

La escena es sorprendente. Los discípulos se acercan a Jesús con
un problema. Esta vez, el portador del grupo no es Pedro, sino
Juan, uno de los dos hermanos que andan buscando los primeros
puestos. Ahora pretende que el grupo de discípulos tenga la
exclusiva de Jesús y el monopolio de su acción liberadora.

Vienen preocupados. Un exorcista no integrado en el grupo está

echando demonios en nombre de Jesús. Los discípulos no se
alegran de que la gente quede curada y pueda iniciar una vida
más humana. Solo piensan en el prestigio de su propio grupo. Por
eso, han tratado de cortar de raíz su actuación. Esta es su única
razón: "No es de los nuestros".

Los discípulos dan por supuesto que, para actuar en nombre de

Jesús y con su fuerza curadora, es necesario ser miembro de su
grupo. Nadie puede apelar a Jesús y trabajar por un mundo más
humano, sin formar parte de la Iglesia. ¿Es realmente así? ¿Qué
piensa Jesús?

Sus primeras palabras son rotundas: "No se lo impidáis". El

Nombre de Jesús y su fuerza humanizadora son más importantes
que el pequeño grupo de sus discípulos. Es bueno que la
salvación que trae Jesús se extienda más allá de la Iglesia
establecida y ayude a las gentes a vivir de manera más humana.
Nadie ha de verla como una competencia desleal.

Jesús rompe toda tentación sectaria en sus seguidores. No ha

constituido su grupo para controlar su salvación mesiánica. No es
rabino de una escuela cerrada sino Profeta de una salvación
abierta a todos. Su Iglesia ha de apoyar su Nombre allí donde es
invocado para hacer el bien. Adoración al Santísimo
