Nuestra misión cristiana en el mundo actual: Vocación y servicio.

El segundo tiempo ordinario del Año Cristiano y el Calendario litúrgico (Agosto)

Uno de los temas sugeridos para el segundo tiempo ordinario del calendario litúrgico es el de la misión cristiana. En este mes y el siguiente, sugerimos una serie de reflexiones que nos ayudarán a pensar y poner en práctica nuestra misión en el seno de nuestros países y sociedades.

Estos estudios se pueden usar como sermones o bien como estudios bíblicos (de allí su formato que incluye datos de trasfondo histórico de los textos bíblicos, algunas citas de documentos y autores latinoamericanos, un análisis somero del texto y algunas preguntas finales para discusión en grupos pequeños) que esperamos nos estimulen a vivir como pueblo de Dios ante los desafíos que enfrentamos cotidianamente. 

¡Consideren bien esto! (Fil 4:8)

El segundo timpo ordinario (julio y agosto) del año Cristiano y el calendario litúrgico.
