Listening Intently to God! / ¡Escuchando atentamente a Dios! Although “obedience” is an unpopular word in our contemporary culture, it is one of the non-negotiables of Christian life. Instead of being based on the ideas of authority and submission, real obedience, the kind of obedience Jesus showed to his Father, is based on relationships. In essence, to be obedient to another person is to say to them, “I love you so much that I’m willing to do what you ask or give you what you need without you even having to ask.” It’s to recognize that we are bound to one another and that we are responsible for caring for each other. The word “obedience” comes from the Latin work oboedire, which can be translated simply as “to listen intently.” Ultimately, to be obedient to someone is to listen to them with, as Saint Benedict says in his Rule for Monasteries, “the ear of the heart” (cf. Prologue). In his Letter to the Philippians, which we will hear in our second reading this Sunday, Saint Paul reminds of the obedience of Jesus who, “humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (v. 8). Jesus offered his life as an act of obedience to God the Father for our sakes. He recognized what the Father was asking of him and what would be the best for us and he surrendered his life on the cross as the greatest act of love that is possible. In the Gospel for this Sunday, Jesus himself speaks of obedience in the parable of the two sons. The fundamental question here is, “Which of the two did his father’s will?” In this parable, we are being reminded that if we are really going to call ourselves disciples of Jesus, we have to be willing to set aside our preferences and prejudices and orient our lives to God’s will and what is best for those around us. Obedience demands that we make a gift of ourselves for the good of others, just as Jesus did. Blessings, Fr. Tim Aunque la "obediencia" es una palabra impopular en nuestra cultura contemporánea, es uno de los no negociables de la vida cristiana. En lugar de basarse en las ideas de autoridad y sumisión, la obediencia real, la clase de obediencia que Jesús mostró a su Padre, se basa en las relaciones. En esencia, ser obediente a otra persona es decirles: "Te amo tanto que estoy dispuesto a hacer lo que me pides o te da lo que necesitas sin que tengas que preguntar". Es reconocer que nosotros estamos unidos entre sí y que somos responsables de cuidarnos los unos a los otros. La palabra "obediencia" proviene de la obra latina “oboedire”, que puede traducirse simplemente como "escuchar atentamente". En última instancia, ser obediente a alguien es escucharlos con, como dice San Benito en su Reglas de Monasterios, “el oído del corazón "(véase Prólogo). San Pablo recuerda la obediencia de Jesús que "y se humilló a sí mismo, obedeciendo hasta la muerte y muerte de cruz." (v. 8). ). Jesús ofreció su vida como un acto de obediencia a Dios Padre por nosotros. Reconoció lo que el Padre le estaba pidiendo y lo que sería mejor para nosotros y entregó su vida en la cruz como el mayor acto de amor posible. En el Evangelio de este domingo, el mismo Jesús habla de obediencia en la parábola de los dos hijos. La pregunta fundamental aquí es: "¿Cuál de los dos hizo la voluntad de su padre?" En esta parábola se nos recuerda que si realmente vamos a llamarnos discípulos de Jesús, tenemos que estar dispuestos a dejar de lado nuestras preferencias y prejuicios y orientar nuestras vidas a la voluntad de Dios y lo que es mejor para los que nos rodean. La obediencia exige que se haga un don de nosotros mismos para el bien de los demás, tal como lo hizo Jesús. Bendiciones, Padre Tim

Our Lady of the Rosary Nuestra Señora del Rosario

October 7th This feast was instituted by Pope St. Pius V in thanksgiving for the great naval victory over the Turks at the battle of Lepanto on this day in the year 1570, a favor due to the recitation of the Rosary. This victory saved Europe from being overrun by the forces of Islam. Lepanto, perhaps the most complete victory ever gained over the Ottoman Empire, on October 7, 1571, is commemorated by the invocation "Help of Christians," inserted in the Litany of Loretto. At Belgrade the Turks were defeated on the Feast of Our Lady ad Nives in 1716. A second victory gained that year on the Octave of the Assumption determined Pope Clement XI to command the Feast of the Rosary to be celebrated by the universal Church. Leo XIII added the invocation "Queen of the most Holy Rosary, pray for us," to the Litany of Loretto. The Feast is in reality a great festival of thanksgiving for the signal and countless benefits bestowed on Christendom through the Rosary of our blessed Queen. Esta fiesta fue instituida por el Papa San Pío V en acción de gracias por la gran victoria naval sobre los turcos en la batalla de Lepanto en este día del año 1570, un favor debido a la recitación del Rosario. Esta victoria salvó a Europa de ser invadida por las fuerzas del Islam. Lepanto, tal vez la victoria más completa jamás obtenida sobre el Imperio Otomano, el 7 de octubre de 1571, es conmemorado por la invocación "Ayuda de los Cristianos", insertada en la Letanía de Loretto. En Belgrado, los turcos fueron derrotados en la fiesta de Nuestra Señora ad Nives en 1716. Una segunda victoria ganada ese año en la Octava de la Asunción determinó al Papa Clemente XI para que la Fiesta del Rosario fuera celebrada por la Iglesia universal. León XIII añadió la invocación "Reina del Santísimo Rosario, ruega por nosotros", a la Letanía de Loreto. La Fiesta es en realidad un gran festival de acción de gracias por la señal y por los innumerables beneficios otorgados a la Cristiandad a través del Rosario de Nuestra Reina.
