How different we are from the Apostles who took nothing when they ventured out to serve God. Today, we make our life’s journey more difficult because of all the material baggage that we drag along. When we really put God first in everything and put money and possessions second, we experience more free-dom to joyfully serve God and others.

Qué diferentes somos de los apóstoles que no tomaron nada cuando se aventuraron a servir a Dios. Hoy, hacemos el viaje de nuestra vida más difícil debido a todo el equipaje material que arrastramos. Cuando realmente ponemos a Dios primero en todo y ponemos el dinero y las posesiones en segundo lugar, experimentamos más libertad para servir a Dios con alegría y a los demás.

The word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword. — Hebrews 4:12a

SOBRIETY Be sober, as God’s athlete. The prize is incorruption and life eternal. —St. Ignatius of Antioch

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Existe en Perú un mural milagroso de la Pasión de Jesucristo. Esta imagen reconocida como el Señor de los Milagros, el Cristo Moreno o el Cristo de Pachacamilla fue pintada por un angoleño en el siglo XVII para una co-fradía de africanos. A mitad del siglo un fuerte terremoto sacudió a Lima y las paredes de la cofradía se cayeron, sin que se dañara el mural. Eventualmente la imagen se reveló como milagrosa para los que oraban delante de ella. En la imagen aparece Jesús crucificado. Sobre él está el Espíritu Santo y el Padre. A la derecha de la cruz está su Madre con el corazón traspasado por una lanza y a su de-recha, el fiel discípulo amado. Esta imagen es venerada como el Señor de los Milagros. Sin saberlo el artista ango-leño ha pintado una reflexión teológica sobre la divinidad y la humanidad de Jesucristo. En su pasión redentora Jesús abre las puertas del cielo y de la comunicación entre el cielo y la tierra, entre Dios y la humanidad representada por la Madre y el discípulo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

WORDS OF WISDOM The spirit of wisdom, as we discover in today’s first reading, comes to those who pray for her. Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consolation as well as of great challenge. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the word of God, infused with the wisdom of God, is “sharper than any two-edged sword.” We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds. Jesus, the living word of God, the embodiment of wisdom, has strong, deeply penetrating words for the rich young man who comes to him seeking answers to his most profound questions. Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God’s commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

PALABRAS DE SABIDURÍA Hoy aprendemos en la primera lectura que el espíritu de la sabiduría llega a los que lo invocan. La sabiduría, como la Palabra de Dios, lleva un mensaje de consuelo y a la vez constituye un gran desafío. La carta a los hebreos nos cuenta que la Palabra de Dios, que está empa-pada con la sabiduría de Dios, es “más penetrante que una espada de dos filos”. No podemos acobardarnos ante la sabiduría de Dios ni ante la palabra que tiene el poder de penetrar nuestro corazón y mente. Jesús, la Palabra viva de Dios, la encarnación de la sabiduría, le dice co-sas fuertes y muy penetrantes al joven rico que acude a Jesús en busca de respuestas a sus dudas más profundas. Precisamente, cuando el joven pensaba que había hecho lo suficiente para cumplir los mandamientos de Dios, se le exigió más. Lo mismo sucede en nuestro caso. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
