Saint Charles Borromeo

Lord, You made St. Charles Borromeo an example of virtue and concern for pastoral ministry. Give us the courage and strength which made him faithful in his ministry and constant in his love. Amen.

Luke 16: 1-8 

Jesus said to his disciples, “A rich man had a steward
who was reported to him for squandering his property.
He summoned him and said,
‘What is this I hear about you?
Prepare a full account of your stewardship,
because you can no longer be my steward.’
The steward said to himself, ‘What shall I do,
now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me?
I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg.
I know what I shall do so that,
when I am removed from the stewardship,
they may welcome me into their homes.’
He called in his master’s debtors one by one.
To the first he said, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
He replied, ‘One hundred measures of olive oil.’
He said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note.
Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.’
Then to another he said, ‘And you, how much do you owe?’
He replied, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’  
He said to him, ‘Here is your promissory note;
write one for eighty.’
And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently.
For the children of this world
are more prudent in dealing with their own generation
than the children of light.”

Audio de la oración diaira leída por el p. Uribe, O.M.I.

San Carlos Borromeo
Señor, Tú hiciste de San Carlos Borromeo un ejemplo de virtud y empeño en el ministerio pastoral. Danos el valor y la fuerza que hicieron que fuera fiel en su ministerio y constante en su amor. Amén.

Lc 16, 1-8
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Había una vez un hombre rico que tenía un administrador, el cual fue acusado ante él de haberle malgastado sus bienes. Lo llamó y le dijo: ‘¿Es cierto lo que me han dicho de ti? Dame cuenta de tu trabajo, porque en adelante ya no serás administrador’. Entonces el administrador se puso a pensar: ‘¿Qué voy a hacer ahora que me quitan el trabajo? No tengo fuerzas para trabajar la tierra y me da vergüenza pedir limosna. Ya sé lo que voy a hacer, para tener a alguien que me reciba en su casa, cuando me despidan’.
Entonces fue llamando uno por uno a los deudores de su amo. Al primero le preguntó: ‘¿Cuánto le debes a mi amo?’ El hombre respondió: ‘Cien barriles de aceite’. El administrador le dijo: ‘Toma tu recibo, date prisa y haz otro por cincuenta’. Luego preguntó al siguiente: ‘Y tú, ¿cuánto debes?’ Este respondió: ‘Cien sacos de trigo’. El administrador le dijo: ‘Toma tu recibo y haz otro por ochenta’.
El amo tuvo que reconocer que su mal administrador había procedido con habilidad. Pues los que pertenecen a este mundo son más hábiles en sus negocios que los que pertenecen a la luz’’.
