October 8 Hope for the Future

GOD’S WAYS In the stream of readings during this portion of Ordinary Time one week’s texts can often appear to pick up exactly where the previous week’s con-cluded. The sentiments expressed in today’s first reading seem to be a direct reaction to the Gospel passage we heard last week. In that Gospel, the landowner pays the same wages to his workers whether they worked for a full day or for only a few minutes. Today Ezekiel gives us the lament, “The L ’s way is not fair!”(Ezekiel 18:25). These Sundays in Ordinary Time offer us a glimpse into the ways of the Lord. We see how God’s way has the tendency to turn the accepted conventions of the day upside down. Those who always expected that their way to heaven was guar-anteed are disappointed. Those who thought they never had a chance are given that chance. Today offers us another opportunity to discover the abun-dance of God’s mercy and love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — When the wicked turn away from their wickedness they have committed and do what is right, they shall surely live (Ezekiel 18:25-28). Psalm — Remember your mercies, O Lord (Psalm 25). Second Reading — Consider others as better than yourselves; look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others (Philippians 2:1-11 [1-5]). Gospel — Tax collectors and prostitutes are enter-ing the kingdom of God ahead of you (Matthew 21:28-32). ANGELIC The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly. —G.K. Chesterton

Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 1, 2017 Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 2:5

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Eucharistic Prayer IV is, like Eucharistic Prayer III, a fresh composition from the 1960s, based on a prayer from the tradition of the ancient church of Alexandria. It has an interesting struc-tural feature. The new prayers all nod toward the East with the epiclesis, or calling down of the Spirit, over the gifts. In this prayer the Spirit is asked to come down again, after the consecration, to make holy the communicants who “partake of this one Bread and one Chalice that, gathered into one body by the Holy Spirit, they may truly be-come a living sacrifice in Christ to the praise of your glory.” This beautiful phrase is well worth meditating on. What is the goal of your reception of Holy Communion today? The preface for this Eucharistic Prayer is firm-ly attached to the prayer, and the directives for using the prayer anchor it to Ordinary Time. It is not intended to be an option if the Mass has a proper preface of its own, like a funeral, a Lenten weekday, or a great feast. It is not often used these days, in part because of these limitations. At first, it was suggested that this prayer was better suited to small groups of people who were well educated in scripture. This was kind of an odd stipulation, especially since its images are so beautiful and worthy of attention. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL PROCEDER DE DIOS En la corriente de lecturas durante esta porción del Tiempo Ordinario a menudo parece que los tex-tos de una semana se retoman donde concluyeron los de la semana anterior. Los sentimientos expre-sados en la primera lectura de hoy parecen ser reacción directa ante el pasaje del Evangelio que escuchamos la semana pasada. En ese Evangelio, el dueño de la viña paga el mismo salario a sus tra-bajadores, sea que hayan trabajado todo el día o sólo en los últimos minutos de la jornada. Hoy Ezequiel ofrece este lamento, “No es justo el pro-ceder del Señor” (Ezequiel 18:25). Estos domingos del Tiempo Ordinario nos ofrecen una ojeada del proceder del Señor. Vemos cómo ese proceder tie-ne la tendencia de poner patas arriba las convencio-nes aceptadas. Los que siempre esperaron que su camino al cielo estaba garantizado quedaron de-silusionados. A los que pensaron que nunca ten-drían la oportunidad, se les da la oportunidad. Hoy se nos ofrece la oportunidad de descubrir la abun-dancia de la misericordia y el amor de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Apártate del pecado para que vivas (Ezequiel 18:25-28). Salmo — Recuerda tus bondades, oh Señor (Salmo 25 [24]). Segunda lectura — Guarda en ti la misma actitud que está también en Cristo Jesús (Filipenses 2:1-11 [1-5]). Evangelio — El que obedece al Señor aunque sea con resistencia, es el que hace la voluntad del Pa-dre (Mateo 21:28-32). LO ANGÉLICO Los ángeles pueden volar porque se toman a sí mismos a la ligera. —G.K. Chesterton

Vigésimo Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 8 de octubre de 2017 No se inquieten por nada; más bien presenten en toda ocasión sus peticiones a Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de gratitud. — Filipenses 4:6

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La práctica de usar nudos en una cuerda para contar oraciones tiene una larga trayectoria en la fe cristiana. Originalmente un cordón con 150 nudos o piedritas se usaba para contar la recitación de los 150 salmos encontrados en la Sagrada Escritura. Con el tiempo, visto que mucha gente no podía leer o recitar de memoria los salmos, se sustituye-ron por el uso de 150 Padrenuestros. A finales de la Edad Media muchos sustituyeron los Padrenues-tros con el saludo del ángel Gabriel a María. En el siglo XVI se formuló lo que hoy reconocemos co-mo el Avemaría, y en el año 1569, el Papa Pío V estableció el Rosario en su forma y uso actual. En 1592 un fraile dominico mandó hacer una imagen de la Virgen del Rosario para su convento en Guatemala. Según la leyenda, María viajaba por América con su Hijito y éste se quedó dormido en Guatemala, por lo cual se quedaron allí. En 1821 los independistas guatemaltecos tomaron a la Vir-gen del Rosario como protectora y en 1833 fue nombrada patrona oficial de Guatemala. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.
