From the Pastor’s Desk Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Theme: “God’s Forbearance, Patience”

Welcome to the 16th Sunday in Ordinary time. Our God is kind, loving, and merciful. He

knows each one of us better than we know ourselves. He knows those who are successful

and those who are failures, those who have worked hard, and those who are lazy. One

question I want to pose for our reflection today, as individuals, families, community, and

congregation, how do we consider those we feel are failures (good for nothing) in our midst?

Do we give them a second chance to prove themselves? Bear in mind, God treats everyone

equally whether he/she is good or bad, moral or immoral, sinful or virtuous, weed or wheat

until his second coming. He lets His sun shine on both and lets His rain shower on both

equally.

Today Jesus tells a series of parables that highlight the measured pace of the Kingdom.

The Kingdom is like a mustard seed, rising dough, and crops planted in a field. All these

take time to reach their proper end. In order to have a successful loaf of bread, a good crop,

and beautiful flowers, we must wait. You can’t rush the baker or the farmer. The bread

never rises, the rose doesn’t bloom and the crops don’t’ mature if they are rushed. Continued on page 3

Desde el Escritorio del Pastor

Décimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Tema: “La Paciencia de Dios, la Paciencia”

Bienvenido al Dácimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario. Nuestro Dios es amable,

amoroso y misericordioso. Él nos conoce a todos mejor que nosotros mismos. Él conoce

a los que tienen éxito y a los que fracasan, a los que han trabajado duro y a los que son

flojos. Una pregunta que quiero plantear hoy para nuestra reflexión, como individuos,

familias, comunidad y congregación, ¿cómo consideramos ha aquellos que sentimos son

un fracaso (bueno para nada) en nuestro medio? ¿Les damos una segunda oportunidad para

demostrar su valía? Tenga en cuenta que Dios trata a todos por igual si es bueno o malo,

moral o inmoral, pecador o virtuoso, hierba o trigo hasta su segunda venida. Él deja que su

sol brille sobre ambos y deja que su lluvia caiga sobre ambos por igual.

Hoy Jesús cuenta una serie de parábolas que resaltan el ritmo medido del Reino. El Reino es

como una semilla de mostaza, una masa en crecimiento y cultivos plantados en un campo.

Todos estos toman tiempo para llegar a su fin apropiado. Para tener una barra de pan exitosa,

una buena cosecha y hermosas flores, debemos esperar. No puedes apurar al panadero o al

granjero. El pan nunca sube, la rosa no florece y los cultivos no maduran si se apresuran.

(Continúado de la página 1)

Tengo un pequeño jardín a la entrada de la iglesia. Cada mañana

después de la oración y la devoción matutina, el próximo lugar que

visito es el jardín.Admiro cómo están creciendo todos los días.

Todas las noches, lo riego, con la esperanza de disfrutar algún día

de las frutas que saldrán de él.

¿Qué nos enseña esto acerca de Dios sobre su actitud hacia cada

uno de nosotros? Dios es paciente y tolerante. En nuestra primera

lectura del libro de la Sabiduría, Dios tiene el cuidado de todos en

su corazón. Dios es justo, paciente y tolerante. Nuestro Dios es un

Dios de misericordia y quiere extender la mayor cantidad de

comprensión a todas sus criaturas. Dios no se apresura a condenar,

pero es lento y paciente porque es un camarero paciente. Dios

tiene la fuerza para sufrir y luchar con nosotros. Romano Guardini

diría en su libro, “Las virtudes,” “la paciencia exige fuerza, gran

fuerza. La suprema paciencia descansa sobre la omnipotencia.

Como Dios es el omnipotente, puede ser paciente con el mundo.”

Esto hace la diferencia del ser humano que ve las cosas desde su

propia imagen en lugar de hacerlo a imagen de Dios. Esta forma

diferente de ver la realidad lleva al hombre a destruirse a sí mismo

y a la naturaleza...

San Pablo demuestra la realidad de nuestra condición humana

como “Debilidad.” Dios envió el Espíritu a nuestros corazones

para que podamos alejarnos del pecado y elevar nuestras mentes

y corazones a Dios. La paciencia de Dios proviene de su gran

comprensión y amor por nosotros. Dios quiere que trabajemos en

amor para alcanzar la medida completa de su sueño para nuestras

vidas. Dios nos ama y nos respeta en la medida en que no puede

apresurar su amorosa obra. (Su criatura) Cuando Dios nos hizo,

sabía que le tomaría tiempo al hombre darse cuenta de sí mismo.

Dios está dispuesto a esperar. Dios no ha terminado con nosotros.

La paciencia y el amor de Dios deben ser una fuente de Aliento y

precaución en la forma en que vemos y tratamos a los demás.

Debemos resistir la tentación de la desesperación que a menudo

nos asalta. No debemos renunciar a nosotros mismos y a los demás

porque Dios nunca nos déjà ni nos abandona sin importar nuestra

condición humana. Su amor es eterno. Debemos ser

cautelosos para no juzgar a los demás con dureza, el juicio le

pertenece a Dios. La parábola del trigo y las malas hierbas es

crucial para nosotros. Podemos ser demasiado rápidos para

clasificar algunos como salvos y otros como condenados. Por la

gracia, las malas hierbas pueden convertirse en buenos cultivos

para la cosecha. Dejemos de ver algunos en nuestras imágenes en

lugar de en la imagen y semejanza de Dios.

Hoy, mientras nos paramos y arrodillamos en presencia de ese

Dios de justicia y amabilidad, roguemos por su misericordia y le

prometemos que con su ayuda podemos ser justos y amables con

nuestros vecinos, con nuestros cónyuges, hijos, padres, nuestro

sacerdotes y para todos nosotros que sentimos que no son dignos

de nuestra paciencia y amor.

(Continued from page 1)

I have a little garden at the entrance of the church. Every

morning after prayer and morning devotion, the next place I

will go to is the garden. I admire how they are growing every

day. Every evening, I water it, hoping to enjoy one day the

fruits that are going to come from it.

What does this teach us about God on his attitude towards

each one of us? God is patient and forbearing. In our first

reading from the book of Wisdom, God has the care of all

in his heart. God is just, patient and forbearing. Our God is

a God of mercy and wants to extend the greatest amount of

understanding to all his creatures. God does not rush to

condemn but is slow and patient because he is a patient

waiter. God has the strength to suffer and struggle with us.

Romano Guardini would say in his book, ‘The virtues’,

“patience demands strength- great strength. The supreme

patience rests upon omnipotence. Because God is the

omnipotent, he can be patient with the world.” This makes

a difference from the human being who sees things from his

own image instead of in the image of God. This different

way of seeing reality prompts man to destroy himself and

nature…

St. Paul demonstrates the reality of our human condition as,

‘Weakness.’ God sent the Spirit into our hearts so that we

can turn from sin and lift our minds and hearts to God.

God’s patience comes from His great understanding and

love for us. God wants us to labor in love so as to reach the

full measure of His dream for our lives. God loves and

respects us to the extent he cannot rush His loving work.

(His creature) When God made us, He knew it would take

time for man to realize himself. God is willing to wait.

God has not finished with us.

The patient and the love of God should be a source of

encouragement and caution on the way we see and treat

others. We must resist the temptation to despair that often

assails us. We must not give up on ourselves and others

because God will never desert or abandon us no matter our

human condition. His love is everlasting. We must be

cautious not to judge others harshly, Judgment belongs to

God. The parable of the wheat and weeds is crucial for us.

We can be too quick to classify some as saved and others

as damned. Through grace, weeds can become good crops

for harvest. Let us stop seeing some in our images rather

than in the image and likeness of God.

Today as we stand and kneel in the presence of that God of

justice and kindness, let us beg for his mercy and promise

him that with his help we may both be just and kind toward

our neighbors, to our spouses, children, parents, our priests

and to all we feel they are not worthy of our patience and

love.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Oración de Comunión Espiritual

Jesús mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma.

Amén.
