August 11, 2019 Page 5FAITH AND HOPE

Faith and hope are closely united in today’s readings. The Israelites knew when the Passover was coming, and so were not in fear, but had faith and courage, “putting into effect with one accord the divine institution.” In this we can see a foretelling of the Eucharist that we celebrate according to Christ’s command, “Do this in memory of me.” We see that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob died in faith, although they did not see fulfillment of the promise. We live in hope that our faith will be fulfilled every time we celebrate this sacrament. We too are not to be afraid, but to have hope that our faith will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Your ancestors waited in faith and courage for God’s promised summons (Wisdom 18:6-9). Psalm — Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own (Psalm 33). Second Reading — By faith Abraham sojourned in the promised land (Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19 [1-2, 8-12]). Gospel — You do not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will appear (Luke 12:32-48 [35-40]).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Dt 10:12-22; Ps 147:12-15, 19-20; Mt 17:22-27 Tuesday: Dt 31:1-8; Dt 32:3-4ab, 7-9, 12; Mt 18:1-5, 10, 12-14 Wednesday: Dt 34:1-2; Ps 66:1-3a, 5, 8, 16-17; Mt 18:15-20 Thursday: Vigil: 1 Chr 15:3-4, 15-16; 16:1-2; Ps 132:6-7, 9-10, 13-14; 1 Cor 15:54b-57; Lk 11:27-28 Day: Rv 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab; Ps 45:10-12, 16; 1 Cor 15:20-27; Lk 1:39-56 Friday: Jos 24:1-13; Ps 136:1-3, 16-18, 21-22, 24; Mt 19:3-12 Saturday: Jos 24:14-29; Ps 16:1-2a, 5, 7-8, 11; Mt 19:13-15 Sunday: Jer 38:4-6, 8-10; Ps 40:2-4, 18; Heb 12:1-4; Lk 12:49-53

LA FE Y LA ESPERANZA En las lecturas de hoy la fe y la esperanza están muy unidas. Los israelitas sabían cuando la Pascua se acercaba, y eso no les atemorizaba, sino que tenían fe y animo; “y de común acuerdo se impusieron esta ley sagrada”. En esto podemos vislumbrar un anuncio de la Eucaristía que celebramos de acuerdo al mandato del Señor Jesús “Hagan esto en memoria mía”. Vemos que Abraham, Sara, Isaac y Jacob murie-ron en la fe, aun cuando ellos no vieron cumplida la promesa. Vivimos con la esperanza que nuestra fe llegará a su cumplimiento cada vez que celebramos este sacramento. Nosotros tampoco debemos de tener miedo, sino tener esperanza que nuestra fe llegará a su cumplimiento en la venida de Cristo.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Tus antepasados esperaron con fe el cumplimiento de las promesas de Dios (Sabiduría 18:6-9). Salmo — Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios (Salmo 33 [32]). Segunda lectura — A causa de la fidelidad, los descen-dientes de Abraham son tan numerosos como las estrellas (Hebreos 11:1-2, 8-19 [1-2, 8-12]). Evangelio — No saben ni el día ni la hora en que el Hijo del Hombre aparecerá (Lucas 12:32-48 [35-40]).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Dt 10:12-22; Sal 147 (146):12-15, 19-20; Mt 17:22-27 Martes: Dt 31:1-8; Dt 32:3-4ab, 7-9, 12; Mt 18:1-5, 10, 12-14 Miércoles: Dt 34:1-2; Sal 66 (65):1-3a, 5, 8, 16-17; Mt 18:15-20 Jueves: Vigilia: 1 Cr 15:3-4, 15-16; 16:1-2; Sal 132 (131):6-7, 9-10, 13-14; 1 Cor 15:54b-57; Lc 11:27-28 Día: Ap 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab; Sal 45 (44): 10-12, 16; 1 Cor 15:20-27; Lc 1:39-56 Viernes: Jos 24:1-13; Sal 136 (135):1-3, 16-18, 21-22, 24; Mt 19:3-12 Sábado: Jos 24:14-29; Sal 16 (15):1-2a, 5, 7-8, 11; Mt 19:13-15 Domingo: Jer 38:4-6, 8-10; Sal 40 (39):2-4, 18; Heb 12:1-4; Lc 12:49-53

Page 6_____________________________ August 11, 2019 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, there was the usual buzz of speculation about likely successors. Cardinal Agajanian, Patriarch of the Armenians, was highly thought of as a likely choice. This took many Catholics by surprise, since he had never celebrated the same liturgy as Pope Pius, but followed ancient Armenian customs according to the Eastern Church, which veils the Eucharisic liturgy from sight by a series of curtains, and in which the priest kneels while the people stand for Communion. In the years that followed, the Second Vatican Council would affirm the dignity and independence of the Eastern Churches, in complete union with Rome, yet different in patterns of life and worship. We have the same faith, the same sacraments, and the same pope. Yet everywhere in the world our separate Churches are combined into families held together by the ministry of bishops. All of this serves as warning: If you ever say, “But we’ve always done it this way,” you are on very thin ice indeed!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hace casi 2000 años, Jesús declaró que “los zo-rros tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo sus nidos; pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde reclinar la cabeza”. Lamentablemente en las calles y callejones del mundo este dicho se realiza diariamente en tantos abandonados por la sociedad que viven sin techo ni hogar. En los años 40 el santo jesuita, Alberto Hurta-do de Chile quiso darle al Hijo del hombre un lugar donde reclinar su cabeza recogiendo a los niños y a los adultos indigentes. Su ejemplo llamó la atención de otros cristianos que se unieron a sus esfuerzos y así en 1944 funda-ron la asociación benéfica “Hogar de Cristo”. Este hogar se dedica aun todavía a acoger, educar y re-habilitar a los necesitados dándoles las herramientas necesarias para poder depender de si mismos. Tam-bién vela por sus almas dándoles una formación total de cuerpo, alma y espíritu. En fin, el Hogar de Cristo se dedica a difundir la realidad de los pobres por medio de nuestro llamado bautismal a la responsabilidad que tenemos en darle al Hijo de hombre un lugar para reclinar su cabeza.

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time In Luke’s Gospel today, Jesus places a strong emphasis on being alert and watchful. We don’t know exactly how God will intervene which is why vigilance and preparation are so important. How can we prepare for Him? Regular patterns of prayer and reflection on how we live our lives, works of charity and everyday kindness. We can practice listening to others, especially to those we see as different from us and let go of excessive distractions. By keeping Him in your everyday thoughts will remind you to give a second thought to any negative or upsetting actions, words or thoughts and learn to take a more positive approach.
