From Rick Hardy, Pastoral Associate
Catholic Social Teaching, Theme 5:
The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
Throughout this series, I have been struck by how many
times the “dignity of the human person” comes up. In fact,
this phrase or something very similar appears in every one
of the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching.
All of Catholic Social Teaching is built on the concept of
the dignity of every human person, and Theme 5 is no ex-
ception. The human person, says Pope Benedict (quoting
the Second Vatican Council), is the primary capital to be
safeguarded and valued.
Human beings need to work and have a right to do so.
In spite of what is sometimes said of the poor, who may re-
quire some assistance from society in order to meet basic
needs, human beings want to do meaningful, productive,
valuable work. Not only that, human beings have the right
to work in a way that is meaningful and rewarding, both per-
sonally and economically.
Pope Francis states, “The economy can no longer turn to
remedies that are a new poison, such as attempting to in-
crease profits by reducing the work force and thereby add-
ing to the ranks of the excluded.”
Workers have not only the right (and obligation) to work,
and the right to a living wage, but also the right to associa-
tion for the purpose of defending the vital interests of those
employed in the various professions. (St. John Paul II, “On
Human Work,” #20.)
The right to productive, rewarding work, to just wages, to
being respected as the main form of capital, and to form
labor or trade unions – all these are asserted, supported,
and taught as a part of Catholic Social Teaching, which is
the same body of teaching that demands respect for the life
of the unborn.
To pose a very practical question: CEO compensation
has grown by 940% since 1978, while the federal minimum
wage has grown by 173% in the same period. BUT: since
2009, the federal minimum wage has not risen AT ALL.
What does Catholic Social Teaching ask of us, in the light of
these facts?
The Church does not demand that all enjoy equal
outcomes. Some may end up wealthier than others. But
everyone has the right to basic needs, one of which is pro-
ductive work at a fair wage. A system that makes this im-
possible requires attention on the part of well-informed, in-
volved Catholics who have the dignity of the human person
in mind and heart.

22th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 22 DOMINGO EN TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Gospel Meditation
22
nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Secular pursuits only bring a temporary
amount of satisfaction and fulfillment. As
much as we may think that achieving
worldly success, economic security, per-
sonal well-being, and self-fulfillment are
worthy goals to obtain, they all are de-
pendent on external variables and can lead to emptiness.
We are trained to be very pragmatic and productive. Unless
we are able to check off all of the boxes or comply with spe-
cific measurable requirements, our value and worth be-
comes questionable. Corporations, educational institutions,
systems, structures, and secular ideology rarely consider
deeper, more spiritual, and human contributions a person
can and needs to make.
To the secular mind, the wisdom and ideals of the Gospel
are making less and less sense. Consider for a moment this
question: “What profit would there be for one to gain the
whole world and forfeit his life?” While Jesus is asking this
very challenging question to people who are considering his
message, many in our world are in a quite different place.
Whether we realize it, many folks are asking a much differ-
ent question. Why would you not want to gain the whole
world and secure your life? If you look at where a lot of folks
are investing their time, energy, and resources, it becomes
obvious where current priorities rest.
Modern day comforts and possibilities are backing us out of
our relationship with God. The fire burning in every human
heart is trying to find its satisfaction in the things that hu-
mans have created and not God. Being altruistic and offering
compassion for those most in need becomes a political re-
sponsibility or responsible gesture. We realize that our
hearts need to be centered on something and someone who
calls us out of ourselves, but we struggle and battle with
naming the source of that call. God places the desire to
seek, find, and love Him in the core of every soul. We are
not abandoned and left to fend for ourselves. But we can
easily get confused. We know that when we extend our-
selves to another self-sacrificially, we are doing what is just
and right. We know that we can work through suffering and
loss and come out better and more whole on the other side.
Our minds need to be renewed so that they can begin to un-
derstand that there is much more to who we are, and that
faith plays a pivotal role in achieving our true and everlasting
goals. It is when we see that it is only faith that can bring us
to this heightened awareness of ourselves and God that it
will begin to make sense. Then, we can put things in proper
perspective and consider being a disciple.

Un vistazo a San Felipe esta semana...
Una Carta del Obispo Bradley
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Como todos sabemos, han pasado
poco más de cinco meses desde que comenzamos a
lidiar con el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 y a
iniciar restricciones sin precedentes a nuestra reunión
para las misas públicas. Recuerdo vivamente esa fecha
del 20 de marzo de 2020 cuando emití por primera vez
una dispensa general a la obligación de participar en la
Misa dominical. Si bien pudimos regresar a la celebra-
ción pública de la Misa dos meses después, el 31 de
mayo de 2020, la Solemnidad de Pentecostés, lo hemos
hecho limitando la asistencia a no más del 25 por ciento
de la capacidad de cada iglesia y siguiendo los protoco-
los de distanciamiento social, uso de máscaras y estric-
tas prácticas de higiene. Durante estos últimos meses
se otorgó una dispensa general que permanecería
vigente hasta el 6 de septiembre de 2020 para acomo-
dar a personas que se encontraban en una categoría
vulnerable, que eran personal médico / cuidadores, o
incluso para aquellos que estaban seriamente preocu-
pados por su seguridad en las reuniones. de la gente.
Aunque había esperado que a estas alturas es-
taríamos en un punto en el que se levantarían algunas
de estas restricciones, está claro que ese no es el caso
en la actualidad. Por lo tanto, extiendo la dispensa ge-
neral existente de la obligación de asistir a Misa los
domingos y fiestas de precepto hasta el domingo 22 de
noviembre de 2020, último domingo del año
eclesiástico…..
Sin embargo, incluso mientras extiendo esta
dispensa general, debo compartir con ustedes una cre-
ciente preocupación que tengo sobre cómo estos más
de cinco meses, durante los cuales la mayoría de nues-
tros fieles no han venido a Misa en persona, podrían
comenzar --- tal vez inconscientemente, a fomentar el
hábito de permitir que el domingo sea como cualquier
otro día…….

La Visión de la Corresponsabilidad
Me encanta la película original Willy Wonka y la Fábrica
de Chocolate. Todo el tiempo mientras veo la película
todavía me río y me siento como un niño. Es solo la
última línea con la que tengo un problema. Wonka ya ha
elegido a Charlie para sucederlo como jefe de la fábrica
de chocolate. Suben a un elevador que se estrella contra
el techo y comienza a volar. Wonka luego le pregunta a
Charlie si alguna vez escuchó lo que le sucedió al chico
que consiguió todo lo que siempre quiso. Después de
que Charlie dice que no, Wonka explica: "Vivió feliz para
siempre." A medida que envejezco, puedo decir que he
conocido a varias personas que obtuvieron todo o casi
todo lo que siempre quisieron, pero a diferencia de
Charlie, no condujo a una felicidad sin fin. De hecho,
como cristiano, sé que esa declaración de Wonka es una
mentira. El secreto para vivir felices para siempre radica
en no obtener todo lo que siempre quisiste, sino en
regalar todo lo que siempre quisiste.
Una persona no puede tener ningún sentido de esa
realidad hasta que comience a ver su vida transformada
por Jesús. Cuando aceptamos el desafío que se nos
presenta y tomamos la decisión de vivir de cierta manera
todos los días, podemos encontrarnos transformados.
Seguir a Jesús no es fácil, pero es la única forma
verdadera de encontrar alegría auténtica. Cuando nos
hemos vaciado y permitido que Él llene los espacios
abiertos en nosotros, nos volvemos diferentes. Estamos
transformados y, si suficientes de nosotros en una
comunidad parroquial experimentamos el mismo viaje,
nuestra parroquia también se transforma. Entonces,
comenzamos a transformar el mundo que nos rodea. No
te dejes engañar: un elevador volador es genial, pero
palidece en comparación con lo que puede suceder
cuando encontramos una nueva vida en Jesucristo. - Tracy Earl Welliver
