Entrada

Cristo nos da la libertad, Cristo nos da la salvación. Cristo nos da la Esperanza, Cristo nos da la salvación. Cuando luche por la paz y la verdad la encontrare. Cuando cargue con la Cruz de los demás, me salvare. Dame Señor Tu palabra. Oye Señor mi oración.

Salmo

El Señor es mi luz y salvación.

Ofertorio

Quiero servirte mi Señor eres mi vida y mi amor. Quiero hacer tu voluntad siempre a Tu lado mi Salvador. Dame poder para vencer dame la luz hacia la Cruz. Quiero servirte mi Señor eres mi vida y mi amor. Quiero hacer tu voluntad siempre a tu lado mi Salvador.

Comunión

Tú has venido a la orilla, no has juzgado ni a sabios ni a Ricos, tan solo quieres que yo te siga. Señor me has mirado a los ojos, sonriendo has dicho mi nombre, en la arena he dejado mi barca, junto a ti buscare otro mar.

Final

Tomado de la Mano con Jesus yo voy, le sigo como oveja que encontró al pastor. Tomado de la mano con Jesus yo voy a donde el va. Si Jesus me dice amigo deja todo y ven conmigo, yo mi mano pongo en la suya y voy con Él.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana recordamos la memoria de san Juan Bosco conocido como "Don Bosco". Es curioso el apelativo de "Don" ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasados era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reservaba para sacerdotes y hermanos religiosos. En la Iglesia católica existen dos clases de sacerdotes. Unos son diocesanos o seculares quienes dedican su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdotes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que pertenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en comunidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comunidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama "padre". Este título fue usado en la Primera Iglesia y durante la Edad Media para honrar a hombres santos, ya fueran laicos o sacerdotes. Se les llamaba "padres" sólo cuando habían llegado a mostrar, con una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sacerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
