In spite of obstacles Jesus is determined to keep moving on the road to Jerusalem. I'd like to illustrate this determination by looking at a controversy surrounding Pope Francis. The pope has been subject to many controversies - some real, some manufactured by the press. Maybe you saw headlines about Pope Francis "changing the Our Father".

El primer versículo del evangelio de hoy dice que Jesús "tomó la firme determinacion de emprender el viaje a Jerusalén"...Me gustaría ilustrar esta determinación en relacion a una controversia que rodea al Papa Francisco.
In a few minutes I will say, "he took bread and giving thanks, broke it and gave it to his disciples". And then something that must have shocked the disciples, "This is my Body...given up for you".
I've spoken those words to you many times. This week I complete 10 years as your pastor... Diré, "tomó pan y dando gracias, lo partió y se lo dio a sus discípulos". Y luego algo que debe haber sorprendido a los discípulos: "Esto es mi cuerpo ... entregado por ustedes".
He recitado esas palabras muchas veces para ustedes. Esta semana cumplo 10 años como tu pastor. Happy Father's Day!
Jesus says he has much more to tell us but we cannot bear it now. We need, he says, the Holy Spirit. "He will guide you to all truth." You and I are made for the truth - not as some kind of weapon or instrument to power but for truth itself. We want to know. Back in 1841 people lined the docks of New York. They weren't there to receive a family member or to see the latest fashions from Paris. ¡Feliz Día del Padre!
Jesús dice que tiene mucho más que decirnos, pero no podemos comprenderlo ahora. Necesitamos, dice, el Espíritu Santo. "Él te guiará a toda la verdad". Tú y yo estamos hechos para la verdad, no como un tipo de arma sino para la verdad misma. Queremos saber. What is "the fire of your love"? Fire creates, purifies and sustains.I get discouraged about young people turning away from God and from the Church. Only the Holy Spirit can bring them back. Example from young man who will be ordained on June 22.
Que es "el fuego de tu amor"? El fuego crea, purifica y sostiene. A veces me siento desanimado por los jovenes que abandonan a Dios y la Iglesia. Es el Espiritu Santo que los devolvera. Ejemplo de un joven que sera ordenado sacerdote el 22 de junio.
