September 1, 2019 HUMILITY

H umility is a virtue we don’t see much in our times. It seems that bragging, swaggering, and arrogance dominate our fashion for everything and our

Internet conversations. Who hasn’t been irritated by the “trolls” who try (usually with bad grammar and poor spelling) to start an online fight with those whose opinions do not align with theirs? Our stores, catalogs, and online shopping sites are full of useless items geared in use and price to the very rich, as ordinary, useful things seem to fade off the sales scene. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is fading away. What is the antidote to this? Humility is a good place to start. Devotion to God is worth more than riches. “The father of orphans and the de-fender of widows is God in his holy dwelling.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

T he readings today center on mindfulness, awareness of where we stand in God’s plan. The mountain of Sinai carries a mes-sage of the majesty

and distance of God, while Jesus’ presence as host of the banquet speaks of intimacy and mystery. September’s shadow calls us all to mindful-ness as we prepare to return to life outside of summer. The Christian life holds these two places of knowledge of God in careful balance. Even in the accounts of the Passion we see the table of the upper room in balance with the Mount of Olives. Altar means “high place,” yet it is also a table. The former liturgy of the Latin Rite began with the priest bowing at the foot of the altar’s three steps, chanting Introibo ad altare Dei, or “I will go to the altar of God,” followed by the altar servers’ response, “The God who gives joy to my youth.” Many parishioners can recall and recite this scene by heart. As with so many things in liturgy, there are layers of meaning in our worship. The altar table evokes memories of the high places once

LA HUMILDAD

L a humildad es una virtud que no vemos mucho en estos días. Parece que la vanidad, la pre-potencia y la arro-

gancia dominan nuestras costumbres de todo y en nuestras conversaciones en Internet. ¿Quién no se ha mo-lestado por los trolls de quienes intentan (por lo ge-neral con una mala gramáti-ca y falta de ortografía) empezar una pelea con aquellas personas que no coinciden con sus opiniones? Nuestras tiendas, catálogos y tiendas virtuales en lí-nea están llenas de cosas inútiles destinados al uso y por el precio a los ricos, en tanto las cosas ordinarias parecen desaparecer de esos lugares de venta. A medida que los ricos se hacen más ricos, los pobres se van haciendo más pobres y la clase media va des-apareciendo. ¿Cuál es el antídoto para esto? La hu-mildad es un buen lugar para empezar. La devoción a Dios vale mucho más que todas las riquezas. “Padre de huérfanos, protector de viudas, Dios vive en su santa morada, Dios prepara casa a los desvali-dos, libera a los cautivos y los enriquece”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

P or esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popu-lar entre muchos

pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al principio del mes de septiembre dos nacio-nes toman la fiesta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nues-tra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llama-dos los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempestad ellos encontraron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La ima-gen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Vir-gen de la Caridad. Milagrosamente la imagen esta-ba seca.

También en el siglo XVI la Virgen se le apareció al cacique de los indígenas Coromoto en Venezuela. Estos se resistían a la evangelización y ella se apareció sobre las aguas invitándolos al bau-tizo cristiano. Estas dos manifestaciones marianas llevan a Jesús en brazos recordándonos que María nada puede sin Cristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — Maneja tus asuntos con humildad (Sirácide 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Salmo — Dios da libertad y riqueza a los cautivos (Salmo 68 [67]). Segunda lectura — Te has acercado a Jesús, el me-diador de una nueva alianza (Hebreos 12:18-19, 22-24a). Evangelio — Los que se humillan serán ensalzados (Lucas 14:1, 7-14).
