From the Desk of Father Jonathan

This week I had the blessing to help give a retreat to 200 priests and seminarians from around the country at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. What a blessing it was for me to be with so many fellow priests. They gave me more by their example of spiritual fervor and their desire to renew their priesthood than I could have ever given them. Thank you for your prayers! Good news: for the second year in a row our parish achieved the goal for the Cardinal's Appeal. I know that for so many of you this has meant considerable sacrifice. Some more good news: it looks like Fr Livinus will be moving back into our rectory next week, at least for the time being, after spending two months at another parish. God provides!! One last thing: have you invited anyone to come with you to mass recently? Keep your eyes open for someone who might just need your encouragement.

God bless,

Father Jonathan

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD Sunday Gospel: Luke 9, 51-62

Words are funny things. Over time they can change meaning. Take diversity. It used to mean opposite, different. Humans reactions to difference range from suspicion to violence. As our world has shrunk we try to make diversity into a positive thing. One Catholic parish, with many new Spanish and Vietnamese parishioners, described diversity in glowing terms in its mission statement. A parishioner commented that as actually practiced there, diversity still meant separate activities in worship, faith formation, community involvement, and giving. Some parishioners said to the pastor: “Those people don’t give their fair share” (meaning money). Saint Paul calls this “biting and devouring one another” (Galatians 5:15). He reminds us that the greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. That’s a challenge when we find it difficult to get along with family and friends. But as Christ’s disciples, everyone in our parish is a brother or sister in Christ. Everyone. No exceptions.

RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO Vangelo della Domenica: Luca 9, 51-62

C’è qualcosa di radicale nella vocazione a seguire Gesù (è una caratteristica di ogni cristiano autentico) che ci sconvolge. Si potrebbe essere tentati di invocare una particolarità di modo di pensare, perfino di linguaggio, per addolcire o stemperare gli argomenti del Vangelo. Eppure abbiamo ogni interesse a prendere il Vangelo per ciò che è, ed approfittare della sua freschezza, del suo vigore. Seguire Cristo non è una cosa come un’altra, che si possa conciliare con esigenze parallele o contrarie. Chi intraprende questo cammino deve sapere fin dall’inizio che sarà il discepolo di un povero che non ha un luogo dove posare il capo, di un uomo che ha saputo non senza pericolo rompere certi legami, e che, una volta impegnatosi in una missione, non si è più guardato alle spalle. Ci si abitua troppo facilmente a vedere i cristiani prendere e lasciare il messaggio evangelico; ora, questo disturba e deve disturbare il male che non cerca che di radicarsi in noi. Bisogna rinnovare il nostro impegno battesimale ricevendo per oggi le dure parole di Gesù, ed accettare coraggiosamente di essere dei discepoli che camminano sui suoi passi, sicuri di trovare, oltre il cammino pietroso, la felicità della vera vita.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS Evangelio del Domingo: Lucas 9, 51-62

Las palabras son un tanto curiosas, pues, en el transcurso del tiempo, pueden cambiar de significado. Tomemos el ejemplo de la palabra diversidad, que originalmente significaba lo que es opuesto y diferente. Las reacciones humanas frente a las diferencias van desde la sospecha hasta la violencia. Mas, debido a que nuestro mundo se ha achicado, tratamos de hacer de la diversidad algo positivo. Una parroquia católica con muchos nuevos miembros hispanos y vietnamitas describió la diversidad en términos elogiosos al escribir su declaración de misión. Un parroquiano comentó que en la práctica la diversidad en la parroquia aun significaba actividades separadas en la liturgia, la formación de fe, los esfuerzos comunitarios y la colecta. Algunos de los parroquianos le dijeron al párroco: “Esa gente no da lo justo” (refiriéndose al dinero). San Pablo dice que estos parroquianos “se muerden y devoran mutuamente” (Gálatas 5:15). Él nos recuerda que el mandamiento más importante es amar al prójimo como a uno mismo. Eso nos presenta un reto cuando se nos hace difícil llevarnos bien con familiares y amigos. Pero, como discípulos de Cristo, todos y cada uno en nuestra parroquia son nuestros hermanos, nuestras hermanas en Cristo. Todos, sin excepción.

Viviendo la Palabra de Dios

¿Se hablan otros idiomas en tu parroquia? Trata de aprender frases para que puedas saludar y mostrar agradecimiento a los parroquianos cuya lengua materna no es el inglés.
