We are reminded in today’s readings that we are human, and that as a result of that we are sinners, and we inherit that sin from the very beginning, from Adam. St. Paul points that out in our Second Reading from Romans 2. Were you aware that in Hebrew the name Adam means “humanity?”

In today’s Gospel Reading from Matthew, Jesus also reminds us of the fact that we are sinners, but He also prompts us to remember that one of the reasons we sin is because we fear other humans and the consequences of living out our faith more than we

fear the Lord Himself. Jesus says, “…do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”

“Gehenna” is translated in some Bible versions as “Hell.” What the Lord is trying to communicate to us may be that we probably tend to fear earthly matters and earthly people more than we fear God. If we are “killed” by someone or something on earth, it is the body only which dies. However, shrinking back from God’s call can have eternal consequences.

“Saving grace” and being saved are probably not thoughts on which we like to dwell, but they are real, and we need to recognize that. St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote, “The saved are few, but we must live with the few if we would be saved with the few. O God, too few indeed they are; yet amongst those few I wish to be.”

Pastoral Pondering

At the end of this week, we will hopefully be able to begin Phase III of the reopening. If this turns out to be the case, I would expect that we will be able to make some adjustments in terms of church occupancy and a return to some normalcy. Over the last couple of weeks, we have also seen widespread protests, some of which have devolved into riots and calls for the defunding or disbanding of police departments. While the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis should be roundly condemned by people of good will, we should never allow an isolated incident of police brutality to force us into accepting a mob mentality. It was a mob after all that called for the Crucifixion of Christ.

My father was a police officer when I was a young child. He was well known as someone who was fair and who cared about people. Over the years since then I have met many police officers, too many to count, all of whom placed their lives on the line each day to protect the communities in which they lived. I have also encountered a few who were simply not suited for their job, and one or two who I would consider “bad apples”. I’ve encountered doctors, lawyers, politicians, soldiers and myriads of others. I can say by and large most were fine people; but, there too, there were some bad or

even rotten apples. The same can be said about priests, ministers, rabbis and bishops. Because we are human, we are fallible. Sadly, some of us give in to our base desires and emotions. This has been true since Cain killed Abel and has been played out countless times throughout history. That’s why on Trinity Sunday I noted that we are dealing with a sin problem rather than a skin problem.

This in no way denies that there are people who have been mistreated and harmed by those in authority, but it also recognizes that not every person should be judged because of the sins of a few. This is not only dangerous, as we saw in the treatment of the Jews in WW2 Germany or the treatment of Japanese immigrants in WW2 USA; but, it is also destructive of the common good. We should never deny or forget history. There have been plenty of examples of racism and discrimination throughout the world to be sure, and in our own country without a doubt. However, simply because something happened in the past does not mean it has to be repeated. As human beings we have the capacity to change. We have the capacity to grow, and we have the capacity to repent.

Learning to respect the dignity of each human person, created in the image and likeness of God, is the task

of every Christian. This is true whether we are dealing with friend or foe. The Gospel requires us to oppose injustice where we find it and to strive to eradicate it with Christian love and compassion. Sadly, there seems to be a pervasive attitude that if you are not willing to accept responsibility for every wrong ever done to a person of color that you are somehow part of the problem and a supporter of racism. This is simply flawed thinking and an irrational conclusion. Mobs, however, are not rational. They operate out of emotion and the facts matter very little to them. As a Christian people, we have to strive for holiness which is built on the foundational belief that in order to love God, we also have to love our neighbor. If we actually start doing that, then we can eliminate injustice across the board and at every level. Politicians will not solve the problem and crowds of protestors will not solve the problem; although, exercising our first amendment rights by assembling peacefully and making our voices heard is important and necessary. The only true solutions will come from a return to God, a desire for repentance and conversion.

Anuncios Semanales | Del Párroco En las lecturas de hoy se nos recuerda que somos humanos, y ese es el resultado de ser pecadores y hemos heredado el pecado desde el comienzo, desde Adán, y San Pablo lo señala en la segunda lectura a los Romanos. ¿Sabían ustedes que en hebreo la palabra Adán quiere decir “humanidad”? En el evangelio de hoy de San Mateo, Jesús también nos recuerda de la realidad que somos pecadores, pero también nos lleva a recordar que una de las razones por la que pecamos es porque tenemos miedo a otros humanos y a las consecuencias de vivir nuestra fe más de lo que tememos al Señor mismo. Jesús dijo: “…no teman a los que matan el cuerpo, pero no pueden matar el alma; más bien teman a aquel que pueden llevar a la perdición el alma y el cuerpo”. “Gehena” en algunas biblias es traducido como “infierno”. Lo que el Señor está tratando de comunicarnos es que le tememos a las cosas del mundo y a las personas del mundo más de lo que tememos a Dios. Si alguien nos “mata” o si nos mata algo de la tierra, es el cuerpo el que muere. Sin embargo, el retroceder a la llamada de Dios puede tener consecuencias eternas. “La gracia salvadora” y el ser salvado son probablemente pensamientos en los que no nos gusta pensar, pero son reales y debemos reconocerlas. San Alfonso de Liguori escribió: “Los salvados son pocos, pero debemos vivir con esos pocos si vamos a ser salvados con unos pocos. Oh Dios, son en realidad son muy pocos; sin embargo, uno de esos quiero ser yo”. Reflexión Pastoral – Al final de esta semana, esperamos poder empezar la fase 3 de la reapertura. Si este es el caso, espero poder hacer algunos ajustes en cuanto a la ocupación de la iglesia y regresar en parte a la normalidad. Durante las últimas semanas, hemos visto extensas protestas, algunas que se han convertido

en disturbios y pedidos para retirar los fondos o desarmar al departamento de policía. Mientras la muerte de George Floyd en Minneapolis debe ser rotundamente condenada por las personas de buena voluntad, nunca debemos permitir que un incidente aislado de brutalidad policial nos obligue a aceptar la mentalidad de la turba. Después de todo, fue una turba la que pidió la crucifixión de Cristo. Mi padre fue un oficial de policía cuando yo era niño. Él era muy conocido como alguien justo y que se preocupaba por las personas. Con los años he conocido a muchos oficiales de la policía, demasiados para contarlos, todos ponían sus vidas en la línea de fuego todos los días para proteger a las comunidades en las que vivían. También conocí algunos que simplemente ese trabajo no era para ellos y uno o dos que yo consideraría “malas manzanas”. He conocido doctores, abogados, políticos, soldaos y muchos otros, puedo decir que, en su mayoría, han sido buenas personas, pero también había algunas malas manzanas o incluso podridas. Lo mismo se puede decir de los sacerdotes, ministros, rabinos y obispos. Porque somos humanos, somos falibles. Tristemente, algunos cedemos a nuestros deseos y emociones más bajas. Esto es cierto desde que Cain mato a Abel y se ha repetido a través de la historia innumerables veces. Es por eso que en el domingo de la Santísima Trinidad mencione que estamos tratando con un problema de pecado en lugar de un problema de color de la piel. Esto de ninguna manera niega que hay personas que han sido maltratadas y heridas por aquellos en autoridad, pero también reconoce que no toda persona debe ser juzgada por los pecados de algunos. Esto no solo es peligroso, como lo vimos en el trato a los judíos en la segunda guerra mundial en Alemania o el trato a los inmigrantes japoneses en la segunda guerra mundial en USA; y es también destructivo del bien común.

Nunca debemos negar ni olvidar la historia. Ha habido suficientes ejemplos de racismo y discriminación por todo el mundo, y en nuestro país sin duda alguna. Sin embargo, simplemente porque algo sucedió en el pasado, eso no quiere decir que tiene que repetirse. Como seres humanos tenemos la capacidad para cambiar. Tenemos la capacidad para crecer y tenemos la capacidad para arrepentirnos. Aprender a respetar la dignidad de cada persona humana, creada a imagen y semejanza de Dios, es la tarea de todo cristiano. Esto es verdad ya sea que estemos tratando con un amigo o rival. El evangelio requiere que nos opongamos a la injusticia en donde la encontremos y esforzarnos por erradicarla con el amor y la compasión cristiana. Tristemente, parece Haber una actitud perversa de que, si no se está dispuesto a aceptar la responsabilidad de todos los males que alguna vez de cometieron con una persona de color, usted de alguna manera es parte del problema y apoya el racismo. Esto es simplemente una defectuosa manera de pensar y una conclusión irracional. Las turbas, sin embargo, no son racionales. Ellos funcionan por la emoción y los hechos importan muy poco para ellos. Como personas cristianas, tenemos que luchar por la santidad la cual se construye sobre la creencia fundamental de que para amar a Dios, también tenemos que amar al prójimo. Si de verdad empezamos a hacer esto, entonces podremos eliminar la injusticia en todos los sentidos y en todo nivel. Los políticos no resolverán ese problema; aunque ejercitando nuestro primer derecho de enmienda de una reunión pacífica y el dejar que nuestras voces sean escuchadas, es importante y necesario. Las únicas soluciones verdaderas llegaran de un regreso a Dios, de un deseo de arrepentimiento y conversión.
