TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

La mayoría de las personas que viven en Estados Unidos han emigrado para mejorar su situación económica. Muchísimos lo han logrado mediante mucho trabajo, un buen salario y comprándose una buena casa en un vecindario tranquilo. En pocas palabras, se han hecho ricos. No obstante, éste mismo sueño se ha convertido en una pesadilla, pues todos sueñan con ser famosos, ganar mucho dinero, tener el carro más lujoso y vivir en un condominio muy exclusivo. El chiste es hacerse ricos a toda costa. Muchas veces sin importar los medios. En la Palestina del tiempo de Jesús todo mundo soñaba con hacerse rico. Las riquezas eran consideradas bendición de Dios, por eso los discípulos se asombraron cuando Jesús declara: “Es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de la aguja, que un rico entre en el Reino de Dios” (Marcos 10:25). El ojo de la aguja era una puerta baja y estrecha por la cual pasaba la gente común a Jerusalén. Jesús no está negando la entrada al cielo a los ricos, basta que hagan lo que hace el camello para pasar: despojarse de su carga.

En todos los países del mundo el penúltimo domingo de octubre se hace oración por las misiones y por los misioneros que se encargan de llevar la palabra de Dios a los que no lo conocen o a los que lo han olvidado. Les pedimos que el próximo domingo (18)sean generosos con sus donaciones para las Misiones. Para más información llamen a la oficina

Lectura Del Libro de la Sabiduría

7:7-11 En comparación de la

sabiduría, tuve en nada la riqueza

A veces creemos que tener riquezas materiales es algo malo. Nos convencemos a nosotros mismos que los pobres son los más favorecidos. En las lecturas de hoy, descubrimos que las riquezas materiales no son lo único que nos impide ser discípulos. Ya veremos que hay otros dones más importantes que esas riquezas. Pero así todo, lo que más importa es el uso que hacemos de nuestros dones.

Las Escrituras de hoy señalan el valor de los dones de la sabiduría, la confianza en Dios y una cualidad que permite que nuestras acciones reflejen el amor de Dios que llevamos en nuestro interior. No es el oro lo que nos hace tropezar, sino el desear el oro por encima de todo lo demás. En las lecturas de la Sabiduría y Hebreos, descubrimos la fuente de los dones de Dios en nuestra vida. La sabiduría vale mucho más que las posesiones materiales. En Hebreos, se nos motiva a examinar nuestros valores y a reconocer con honestidad qué es lo que rige nuestra vida.

Saturday (17) 11:30 AM - 4:00 PM How did the church dealt with “daily sins” in the first five centuries? As devout and observant as they were, our early fathers and mothers in faith could not have been all that different from us. Maybe they looked the other way when the grocer threw an extra fig in the shopping basket, or had a wandering eye for the widow next door, or had a taste for too much ale, or didn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. First of all, there was the Eucharist. The words are familiar: “This is the cup of my blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sin.” Especially by participating in Commun-ion from the cup, forgiveness was achieved. Eucharist was, and remains, the sacrament of reconciliation par excellence, the sign and source of unity with Christ. There were other helps along the way: “fraternal” cor-rection, or the course corrections we offer one another in love, prayer, fasting, works of mercy. St. Augustine listed endurance of suffering, forgiveness of insults, and added the praying of the Lord’s Prayer in the liturgy. He felt that the public praying of the Our Father on Sunday and its daily use in private prayer was an essential remedy and the reason why everyone was not a candidate for canonical penance. Inherited from Augustine’s practice, the Lord’s Prayer in our Communion Rite still has the same purpose, preparing us for receiving and becoming the Body of Christ. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
