El programa consistió en un día de formación para los clérigos, y un día estupendo de formación para laicos y líderes de las comunidades Latinas de nuestra Diócesis que se llevo a cabo en la Iglesia San Francisco de Dallas.

El Obispo Quezada tuvo la oportunidad de acompañar la junta mensual de parejas de la Iglesia Cristo, y el Domingo visito, celebro, y enseño en la Iglesia Santa María en Irving. 

Bishop Quezada visit to Dallas, October 21-23

Last weekend we had the pleasant visit of Bishop Moses Quezada, coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of the Dominican Republic. Bishop Quezada and his wife Jeannette visited Dallas thanks to an invitation from Bishop Sumner.

The program consisted of a training day for clergy, and a great training day for lay leaders of the Latino communities of our Diocese that was held at the Church of San Francisco de Asis in Dallas.

Bishop Quezada also had the opportunity to accompany the monthly meeting of couples of Christ Church, and Sunday he visit, celebrate and taught at St. Mary's Church in Irving.

Complete the Race (II Timothy 4:17)

At the end of our vacation we find ourselves in Chicago for its Marathon weekend (the fastest, I have read this morning, perhaps because it is cool and relatively level). Marathons offer many good things. You can see world-class athletes from places like Ethiopia and Kenya. There is a feel of fiesta with signs by family members, getups by some for-fun runners, and food for sale.

But as I looked out my hotel window at 7:30 a.m., I watched the race of competitors who have lost legs or their use. Wheeling vehicles by arm for 26 miles means serious fitness and determination.

Those competitors were to me, this morning, a symbol of the Church too. For each is wounded. The larger family cheers them on. Each by grace has risen up to run the race. Ahead is the goal, the prize, the welcome home. We find the companionship of Jesus the Lord, there, and along the route too.

Amen.
