“He said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few…’”  Luke 10:2  As Catholics we are all called to serve.  Each of us has been given “charisms” otherwise known as gifts from the Holy Spirit to help build God’s Church.  Our charisms can only be used for good.  We know that we are using them in the right ministry when we are filled with joy and we want to share stories about our charitable works.  Discern how God is calling you to use your charisms.  Say “yes” to what God is calling you to do and then do it!  Share your joy and invite others to do the same.

14^o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 

Él les dijo, “La cosecha es abundante, pero los trabajadores son pocos...”  Lucas 10:2  Como Católicos todos estamos llamados a servir.  A cada uno de nosotros se nos han otorgado “carismas”, también conocidos como dones del Espíritu Santo, para ayudarnos a construir la Iglesia de Dios.  Nuestros carismas solamente pueden utilizarse para bien.  Sabemos que los estamos utilizando en el ministerio correcto cuando nos sentimos llenos de alegría y queremos compartir las historias acerca de nuestras obras de caridad.  Descifre como Dios lo llama a utilizar sus carismas.  ¡Dígale “sí” al llamado de Dios y luego póngalo en práctica!  Comparta su alegría e invite a los demás a hacer lo mismo.
