Our Mission

We, Jesus Our Risen Savior Catholic Church are a community of

believers, composed of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds from all

walks of life. United by our faith in God the Father,

we are empowered by Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit to be a bea-con of hope and a welcoming presence

of the Church. We manifest our faith by celebrating

the sacraments, sharing in the Eucharist, and by inviting others to share in our commitment to foster

Jesus’ Gospel values. We are commit-ted to follow the model of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We are the people of

Jesus, Our Risen Savior Catholic Church .

No Favorites

Jesus draws a blunt picture in today's Gospel.

The Pharisee's prayer is almost a parody of the thanksgiving psalms

(see for example Psalms 30,118). Instead of praising God for His mighty

works, the Pharisee congratulates himself for his own deeds, which he pre-

sents to God in some detail.

The tax collector stands at a distance, too ashamed even to raise his

eyes to God (see Ezra 9:6). He prays with a humble and contrite heart

(see Psalm 51:19). He knows that before God no one is righteous, no one

has cause to boast (see Romans 3:10; 4:2).

We see in the Liturgy today one of Scripture's abiding themes—that

God "knows no favorites," as today's First Reading tells us

(see 2 Chronicles 19:7; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11).

God cannot be bribed (see Deuteronomy 10:17). We cannot curry

favor with Him or impress Him—even with our good deeds or our faithful

observance of religious duties such as tithing and fasting.

If we try to exalt ourselves before the Lord, as the Pharisee does, we will be

brought low (see Luke 1:52).

This should be a warning to us—not to take pride in our piety, not to

slip into the self-righteousness of thinking that we're better than others, that

we're "not like the rest of sinful humanity."

If we clothe ourselves with humility (see 1 Peter 5:5-6)—recognize that all

of us are sinners in need of His mercy—we will be exalted

(see Proverbs 29:33).

The prayer of the lowly, the humble, pierces the clouds. Paul testi-

fies to this in today's Epistle, as He thanks the Lord for giving him strength

during his imprisonment.

Paul tells us what the Psalmist sings today—that the Lord redeems

the lives of His humble servants.

We too must serve Him willingly. And He will hear us in our dis-

tress, deliver us from evil, and bring us safely to His heavenly kingdom.

Yours in Christ,

Dr. Scott Hahn

NO HACER COMPARACIONES

¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado acerca de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso despedido de su empleo,

por un roce con la ley? Mientras nuestras mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que nos apiademos de esa persona y que roguemos por

ella, puede que una vocecita interior también esté diciendo: “Me alegro de que yo nunca haría algo así”.

Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas cosas que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas de hoy nos advier-

ten no mirar tan atentamente a las maldades de otros que pasamos por alto nuestras propias debilidades y defectos. Cuando

nos comparamos con las peores personas a nuestro alrededor, salimos bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay un peligro en usar la

conducta ajena como medida para reflejar nuestras propias virtudes. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1823 se fundó el pueblo de San Rafael de las Quebradillas en Puerto Rico. Este pueblo fue dedicado al santo patrón de

los pescadores. Rafael, también es el ángel patrono de la salud. Aunque hoy día su fiesta esta combinada con los otros arcán-

geles el 29 de septiembre, en el viejo calendario este santo fue conmemorado el 24 de octubre.

Rafael (Dios salva) se encuentra en el libro de Tobías y según el autor bíblico, este es el ángel de la guarda de Tobías. El

mismo Rafael se presenta como uno de los siete ángeles o arcángeles que llevan las oraciones de los justos al trono de Dios y

que gozan de la presencia gloriosa del Santísimo (Tobías 12:15).

Mi padre siempre dice que hay que pedir una cosa a Dios, la salud. Si tenemos la salud nada nos falta. Es interesante que

en latín, salud y salvación son la misma palabra, salus. El santo patrón de la salud, Rafael nos recuerda que Dios es el único

que nos puede salvar, dándonos salud de cuerpo, alma y espíritu. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
