There are many social issues that beckon our attention while so many voices of opinions vie for our attention. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially when we consider the complexities of each issue and their effects. It\u2019s important to bring the Christian perspective unto the discussion of these social issues. It\u2019s also important because the Christian perspective otherwise. Furthermore, it is important for the Christian to be aware of how faith informs reason.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I hesitate to comment on social issues because my comments are simply my comments that come from my perspective. I certainly do not feel the need to impose my opinions and perspectives on anyone. And there is always the chance that some may read something into it that really doesn\u2019t exist. Some social issues are sensitive and complicated, and they certainly merit our educated attention.<\/p>\n
Wouldn\u2019t it be great if we had a group of people that would be interested in discussing social issues from the Christian perspective and share the conversation with the rest of the parish community? I think that would add so much more meaning to our Christian journey as a community. It would enrich us, challenge us, and educate us in ways that a single person may not be able to do. The inclusive voice of the community is powerful. It\u2019s power to enrich, challenge, and educate can create a wave of Christian energy and renewal in any community.<\/p>\n
So, if any of this makes sense to you and you find it interesting, or it captures your attention and curiosity, let me know.
\nI would like to offer our community such an opportunity and experience. Give me a call at the parish office or leave your name and contact information with the parish secretary, letting me know that you are interested in exploring this opportunity. I will take it from there and bring the interested people together to see what God is up to.
\nI do hope and pray we have such interested people. I believe that such conversations can help us is considering social issues from the Light of Christ\u2019s Good News.<\/p>\n
You are in my prayers and in my heart.\u00a0\u00a0Peace and Good. Friar Julio<\/p>\n

Hay muchos temas sociales que llaman nuestra atenci\u00f3n mientras muchas voces de opini\u00f3n compiten por nuestra atenci\u00f3n. A veces puede resultar un poco abrumador, especialmente cuando consideramos las complejidades de cada tema y sus efectos. Es importante llevar la perspectiva cristiana al debate de estos temas sociales. Tambi\u00e9n es importante porque la perspectiva cristiana es diferente. Adem\u00e1s, es importante que el cristiano sea consciente de c\u00f3mo la fe informa a la raz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
A veces dudo en comentar sobre temas sociales porque mis comentarios son simplemente mis comentarios que surgen de mi perspectiva. Ciertamente no siento la necesidad de imponer mis opiniones y perspectivas a nadie. Y siempre existe la posibilidad de que alguien pueda leer algo que realmente no existe. Algunos temas sociales son delicados y complicados, y ciertamente merecen nuestra atenci\u00f3n informada.<\/p>\n
\u00bfNo ser\u00eda fant\u00e1stico si tuvi\u00e9ramos un grupo de personas que estuvieran interesadas en discutir temas sociales desde la perspectiva cristiana y compartir la conversaci\u00f3n con el resto de la comunidad parroquial? Creo que eso agregar\u00eda mucho m\u00e1s significado a nuestro camino cristiano como comunidad. Nos enriquecer\u00eda, nos desafiar\u00eda y nos educar\u00eda de maneras que una sola persona no podr\u00eda hacer. La voz inclusiva de la comunidad es poderosa. Su poder para enriquecer, desafiar y educar puede crear una ola de energ\u00eda cristiana y renovaci\u00f3n en cualquier comunidad.<\/p>\n
Por lo tanto, si algo de esto tiene sentido para usted y lo encuentra interesante, o capta su atenci\u00f3n y curiosidad, h\u00e1gamelo saber.
\nMe gustar\u00eda ofrecer a nuestra comunidad una oportunidad y una experiencia de este tipo. Ll\u00e1meme a la oficina parroquial o deje su nombre e informaci\u00f3n de contacto con la secretaria de la parroquia, haci\u00e9ndome saber que est\u00e1 interesado en explorar esta oportunidad. A partir de ah\u00ed, me encargar\u00e9 de reunir a las personas interesadas para ver qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 haciendo Dios.
\nEspero y rezo por que tengamos personas tan interesadas. Creo que este tipo de conversaciones pueden ayudarnos a considerar los problemas sociales desde la Luz de la Buena Nueva de Cristo.<\/p>\n
