August 30, 2026 - 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells His disciples something that is difficult to hear: “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” These words remind us that being a disciple of Jesus is not simply about believing in Him; it is about allowing Him to shape the way we live.
The First Reading gives us a beautiful example of someone who struggles with the cost of following God. The prophet Jeremiah openly expresses his frustration. He has faithfully proclaimed God’s message, yet his ministry has brought him suffering, rejection, and ridicule. Jeremiah even admits that he would like to stop speaking in God’s name. But then he discovers that God’s Word is like a fire burning within him: he cannot simply walk away. Even when the mission is difficult, God’s call remains stronger than his discouragement. Jeremiah’s experience helps us understand what Jesus means when He speaks about taking up our cross. Faith does not promise that following God will always be easy. There are moments when we may become tired, discouraged, or even wonder whether our efforts are making a difference. Yet God does not abandon us in those moments. His grace sustains us and gives us the strength to remain faithful.
Agosto 30, 2026 -22nd Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Queiridos Hermanos y Hermanas,
En el Evangelio de este domingo, Jesús les dice a sus discípulos algo que es difícil de escuchar: «El que quiera venir detrás de mí, que renuncie a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz y me siga». Estas palabras nos recuerdan que ser discípulos de Jesús no consiste simplemente en creer en Él; significa permitir que Él transforme la manera en que vivimos.
La Primera Lectura nos ofrece un hermoso ejemplo de alguien que lucha con el precio de seguir a Dios. El profeta Jeremías expresa abiertamente su frustración. Ha proclamado fielmente el mensaje de Dios, pero su ministerio le ha traído sufrimiento, rechazo y burlas. Jeremías incluso reconoce que quisiera dejar de hablar en nombre de Dios. Pero entonces descubre que la Palabra de Dios es como un fuego que arde dentro de él: no puede simplemente alejarse. Incluso cuando la misión es difícil, el llamado de Dios permanece más fuerte que su desánimo. La experiencia de Jeremías nos ayuda a comprender lo que Jesús quiere decir cuando habla de cargar con nuestra cruz. La fe no promete que seguir a Dios será siempre fácil. Hay momentos en los que podemos sentirnos cansados, desanimados o incluso preguntarnos si nuestros esfuerzos están haciendo alguna diferencia. Sin embargo, Dios no nos abandona en esos momentos. Su gracia nos sostiene y nos da la fuerza para permanecer fieles.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”
Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.

'Todos nacemos originales, algunos en la vida se convierten en fotocopias'
Carlo Acutis nació en Londres, Gran Bretaña, el 3 de mayo de 1991, de padres italianos, Carlo y Antonia Salzano, que estaban en la City por motivos de trabajo. Fue bautizado el 18 de mayo en la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Londres. En septiembre de 1991, la familia regresó a Milán. A los cuatro años, sus padres le inscriben en la guardería, a la que asiste con gran entusiasmo. Cuando llegó el momento de la escolarización obligatoria, lo matricularon en el Instituto San Carlo de Milán, una conocida escuela pública. Al cabo de tres meses, fue trasladado a la escuela primaria del Instituto Tommaseo de las Hermanas Marcelinas, por estar más cerca de su casa. El 16 de junio de 1998 recibió la Primera Comunión, antes de su edad habitual, gracias a un permiso especial de su director espiritual, el padre Ilio Carrai, y del arzobispo Pasquale Macchi. La celebración tuvo lugar en el monasterio de las monjas de clausura romitas dell'Ordine di Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, en Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). El sacramento de la Confirmación, el 24 de mayo de 2003, le fue administrado en la iglesia de Santa Maria Segreta, por monseñor Luigi Testore, antiguo secretario del cardenal Carlo Maria Martini y párroco de San Marco en Milán.
