Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

September 30, 2018

XXVI Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario 30 de septiembre de 2018

Saint Canera, patroness of

Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat

with an oil lamp, the symbol of

wisdom and virginity, with a

monastery on an island in the

background where she sought

spiritual rest. She was refused entrance to the is-

land but was given Eucharist just before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

R E F L E X I Ó N

Los niños escogen a los mejores para sus

equipos; lógicamente, siempre escogen a los más

fuertes, los más ágiles o los que conocen mejor

las estrategias. Algo parecido ocurre en la ma-

yoría de los campos de la vida humana. Se elige

a la gente más capacitada para los trabajos, la

que ha probado mayor inteligencia o más destre-

za en algo. Dios, sin embargo, no elige de esa

manera. Siempre sorprende que busque a los

más inesperados, para llevar a cabo su obra; o

más bien, lo que sorprende es que abra la misión

a todos… menos a quienes sus riquezas los ten-

gan tan esclavizados que sean incapaces de pen-

sar en otros. Por riquezas, Jesús quiere decir no

solamente el dinero, sino el convencimiento de

tener poder, de estar seguro de que se tiene la

verdad en exclusiva. Esas actitudes, que indican

un encierro en algún área de poder o dominio, no

tienen lugar en el reino de Dios; en otras pala-

bras, quienes piensan o creen así, no tienen la

capacidad de entrar, porque están demasiado en-

redados en sí mismos. Si algo enreda, es mejor

sacarlo y arrojarlo fuera. Esas ataduras pueden

ser tanto la arrogancia como una humildad equi-

vocada que no reconoce la obra de Dios.

Es por eso también que hoy se invita a quie-

nes se creen pobres, sin poder e inferiores, a que

salgan también ellos de esa esclavitud. Si Dios

lama a todos, nada ni nadie puede impedirnos el

acercarnos a Dios, hacer las obras de Dios y ser-

vir al estilo de Jesús.

"Cualquiera que les dé un vaso de agua para be-

ber porque pertenecen a Cristo, les aseguro que

no perderá su recompensa" MARCOS 9:41.

¿Tu vida refleja la vida de Jesús? Recuerde, fui-

mos hechos a Su imagen. Tendemos a olvidar es-

to. Cuando los demás te ven, ¿ven el rostro de

Jesús? Cuando miras a los demás, ¿ves el rostro

de Jesús en ellos?

The 2018 Missouri Catholic Conference Annual

Bishop Joseph Perry, the Auxiliary Bishop of the

Archdiocese of Chicago, will offer the keynote

Sunday, October 7th @ 3 pm

Cross at Old St. Mary's at 26th/Main St

Joplin, MO.

Today we find ourselves in a Spiritual Battle. Gov-

ernment actions and court rulings are in conflict

with God’s law. Persecution of traditional reli-

gious belief and practice is unprecedented. In this

Jubilee Year of Mercy,

we are called upon to

help turn our country

back towards God. We

will accomplish that

through prayer; prayer

that can change hearts,

change our families, change our communities and

change our country. There is no stronger weapon

in this Spiritual Battle than the Rosary.”

Fr. Richard Heilman,

President of the Holy League.

Bishop Edward M. Rice will offer

Masses of Healing

in St. Peter the Apostle Church, Joplin

Mon., Oct. 8, at 7 p.m.

for all those who have suffered abuse at the

hands of someone entrusted with the spiritual

care of the community.

Please consider attending one of these upcoming

Diocesan Stewardship Message

“Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink be-

cause you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will

surely not lose his reward.” MARK 9:41

Does your life reflect the life of Jesus? Remember, we

were made in His image. We tend to forget this. When

others see you, do they see the face of Jesus? When

you look at others, do you see the face of Jesus in

them?

R E F L E C T I O N

Children pick the best for their teams; logi-

cally, they always pick the strongest, most agile

or those who know better strategies. Something

similar happens in most fields of human life.

The most competent people are chosen for jobs,

since they are proven to possess greater intelli-

gence or skill in something. God, however,

does not choose in this way. It is always surpris-

ing that he seeks the most unexpected, to carry

out his work; or rather, what is surprising is that

he opens his mission to all… except those

whose riches have them so enslaved that they

are incapable of thinking of others. By riches,

Jesus means not only money, but the conviction

of having power, of being sure that they have

the exclusivity on truth. These attitudes, which

indicate a hold on any area of power or domi-

nance, have no place in the kingdom of God; in

other words, those who think or believe this way

do not have the ability to enter because they are

too wrapped up in themselves. If you are

wrapped up in something, it is best to remove it

and throw it out. These constraints can be a

sense of arrogance, as well as an erroneous

sense of humility that fails to recognize the

work of God.

This is why today those who believe that

they are poor, powerless, and inferior are invited

to also come out of this slavery. If God calls

everyone, nothing and no one can stop us from

getting closer to God, to do his works, and serve

in the style of Jesus.
