Extraordinary Ministers Training meeting scheduled for ALL Extraordi-nary Ministers of Holy Communion and we ask that everyone attend - - - DATE: Saturday, September 25 TIME: After 8:00am Mass
25th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 19, 2021
FOCUS: Jesus calls us to humble service. A common thread in today’s readings is that the marks of faithfulness are humility, peacemaking, and service to the lowliest among us. In the midst of cynicism, which is so often the reality of our modern world, how can we better witness to the world the peace of Christ?
LITURGY OF THE WORD: In Wisdom, the wicked speak of testing the just one until he sins or until God inter-venes. In the second reading, James says that the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus teaches about his passion but the disciples do not under-stand; he then demands humble service of his followers.
REFLECTION: If someone comes up to you on the street and asks, “Have you accepted Jesus into your life?” –according to today’s gospel, that means we have accepted Jesus’ way of life, being “the servant of all.”
So we ask ourselves:
• What Christian “servant role” am I currently involved in?
• What helps me persevere in that role, even under trying conditions?

DOMINGO, SEPTIEMBRE 19, 2021 VIGÉSIMO QUINTO DOMINGO, TIEMPO ORDINARIO
" QUIEN QUIERA SER EL PRIMERO, QUE SEA EL ÚLTIMO Y EL SERVIDOR DE TODOS ".
Jesús, por segunda vez, habla abiertamente de su muerte. Por algún tiempo ha querido compartir con sus discípulos este secreto. Jesús comprendió y asumió que su muerte formaba parte del plan de salvación divina y era una consecuencia de su servicio de amor y solidaridad con todos. Sin embargo, constata con pena que sus discípulos no entendían este lenguage y que tenían miedo preguntarle. Jesús aprovecha esta opor-tunidad para darles una catequesis impresionante. Llamó a los doce y les dijo: " quien quiera ser el pri-mero, que sea el último y el servidor de todos "! La exi-gencia de ser el último y el servidor de todos es un verdadero desafio y reto para todos los seguidores de Jesús ! La voluntad de poder y no de servicio es la raiz de muchos males sociales y comunitarios. Es el pecado que hace malsana a la comunidad humana en muchas partes del mundo. La sabiduría que Jesús proclama es la que puede hacer posible una convivencia fraterna entre todos los hombres y mujeres. Y mejor lección que Jesús nos da es acoger a un niño ya que es acoger al Señor!

"FAMILIA ES LO MEJOR QUE DIOS HA HECHO" Papa Francisco , 26 Septiembre 2015. "El amor de Dios es tan desbordante que no podía ser egoísta, tenía que ser der-ramado de él", dijo el Papa, explicando que esto es lo que impulsó la creación del mundo. "La familia es realmente familia cuando es capaz de abrir los brazos y recibir todo ese amor". Pero Dios "no los abandonó", subrayó el Papa. "Tan grande fue su amor que empezó a caminar con la humanidad, con su gente hasta el momento oportuno y le hizo la máxima ex-presión de amor, su propio hijo". "¿Y cómo envió a su hijo?" preguntó. "A través de una familia". El Papa bromeó entonces: “a veces la gente me dice 'Padre, hablas así porque no estás casado'. Las familias tienen difi-cultades ... las familias, nos peleamos. Y a veces los platos pueden volar. Los niños traen dolores de cabeza, y ni si-quiera hablo de suegras ... " "En las familias siempre hay dificultades, pero esas difi-cultades se superan con el amor", dijo. "El odio no es capaz de afrontar ninguna dificultad ... Sólo el amor es capaz de superarlas".
