El mensaje del Obispo Hying sobre los nuevos puestos de sacerdotes sobre Into the Deep
A medida que anunciamos los nuevos puestos de los sacerdotes, a la luz de Into the Deep, este tiempo nos da una pausa para reflexionar sobre el don de aquellos sacerdotes en nuestras vidas que han impactado poderosamente nuestra práctica de la fe. A través de su predicación del Evangelio, su celebración de los Sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaristía y la Reconciliación, y su pastoreo y servicio pastoral, nuestros sacerdotes nos llevan a Cristo y a Su salvación. Estamos muy agradecidos por cada uno de ellos, y con razón es que nos hemos apegado a menudo a nuestros sacerdotes particulares.

Life is a ‘masterpiece’
In a reflection on Psalm 139, Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “In the second part of the Psalm, God turns his loving gaze upon the human being, whose full and complete beginning is reflected upon. He is still an unformed substance in his mother’s womb: the Hebrew term used has been understood by several biblical experts as referring to an embryo, described in that term as a small, oval, curled-up reality, but on which God has already turned his benevolent and loving eyes . . .”
