To bring about the Kingdom of God in

our lives we see three basic approaches in the

catholic tradition.

The first one is the prophetic which is

normally attributed to the prophets. Prophets are sent

by God to challenge us to the awareness that we have

gone astray and we need to change to restore the

original dignity of the children of God. When we turn

away from God we become self-centered and will be

rebellious against God’s messengers. These can be

parents, teachers, preachers, siblings or even friends.

If we recognize our flaws and amend our ways we will

find favor with God.

The second is Apostolic approach. St Paul’s

letters, especially to Timothy, are clear examples.

This has a dual dimension: endorsing the sincere way

of discipleship journey while validating the

Christ-centered devotional life aiming at the

encounter with the Lord in His second coming. The

other dimension is of admonishing and instructing

the believers on the Christian way of life.

The third approach is Evangelical which

comes from the teachings and parables of Jesus

through the Gospels. Here we find the focus on the

love of God and love of neighbor. Through the

parable of the rich man and Lazarus Jesus requires us

to be concerned and compassionate about the needy

around us in order to find favor with God after this

life. Our choices in life have irreversible consequences

after this life.

In conclusion, we have to identify and dedi-

cate ourselves to our role and responsibility in God’s

plan for our salvation and of humanity. Deepen our

conviction that the Heavenly Father will reward us in

heaven. Live with that longing and live as a child of

God with love and compassion God bless you all.

From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio del Padre

Para lograr el Reino de Dios en nuestras vidas,

vemos tres enfoques básicos en la tradición católica.

El primero es el profético que normalmente se

atribuye a los profetas. Los profetas son enviados por

Dios para desafiarnos a la conciencia de que nos hemos

desviado y necesitamos cambiar para restaurar la

dignidad original de los hijos de Dios. Cuando nos ale-

jamos de Dios, nos volvemos egocéntricos y seremos

rebeldes contra los mensajeros de Dios. Estos pueden

ser padres, maestros, predicadores, hermanos o incluso

amigos. Si reconocemos nuestros defectos y modifica-

mos nuestros caminos, encontraremos el favor de Dios.

El segundo es el enfoque apostólico. Las cartas

de San Pablo, especialmente a Timoteo, son ejemplos

claros. Esto tiene una doble dimensión: endosar el

camino sincero del viaje de discipulado mientras valida

la vida devocional centrada en Cristo con el objetivo de

encontrarse con el Señor en su segunda venida. La otra

dimensión es amonestar e instruir a los creyentes sobre

el estilo de vida cristiano.

El tercer enfoque es evangélico, que proviene

de las enseñanzas y parábolas de Jesús a través de los

Evangelios. Aquí encontramos el enfoque en el amor

de Dios y el amor al prójimo. A través de la parábola

del hombre rico y Lázaro, Jesús requiere que seamos

preocupados y compasivos con los necesitados que nos

rodean para encontrar el favor de Dios después de esta

vida. Nuestras elecciones en la vida tienen consecuen-

cias irreversibles después de esta vida.

En conclusión, tenemos que identificarnos y

dedicarnos a nuestro papel y responsabilidad en el plan

de Dios para nuestra salvación y para la humanidad.

Profundizar nuestra convicción de que el Padre

Celestial nos recompensará en el cielo. Vive con ese

anhelo y vive como un hijo de Dios con amor y

compasión. Dios los bendiga a todos.

’Tis not the dying for a faith that’s so hard—every man of every na on has done that—’ s the living up to it that’s difficult. William Makepeace Thackeray

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Mientras muchos celebran el descubrimiento de América esta semana, los latinos celebramos más bien el Día de la Raza, insistiendo que Colón no pudo descubrir lo que no estaba ni perdido ni escondido. El 12 de octubre de 1492, Rodrigo de Triana grito: “Tierra a la vista”. Estas fueron las primeras palabras europeas que sonaron en el hemisferio occidental. Rodrigo gritaba a los españoles agitados y cansados por su largo viaje. Él les daba la buena noticia de que estaban por llegar a Guanahaní, que Cristóbal Colón renombró San Salvador.

Es así como se engendró un nuevo pueblo en América. Una raza mestiza se engendró en la búsqueda de Asia y luego fue dada a luz con el derrame de sangre indígena a manos del conquistador. A través del tiempo el continente americano poblado por nativos, ha recibido sangre, cultura e idioma europea, africana y asiática. De esta manera se ha ido desarrollando nuestro mestizaje. Celebremos que somos una mezcla de sangres, culturas, lenguas y creencias. Somos raza mestiza, nacida en el dolor; trabajamos y luchamos por una vida mejor. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Sometimes human relationships go awry, but Christ’s choice for us is irrevocable. In marriage celebrations, the Church always recalls God’s faithfulness to help prepare married couples for enduring the inevitable rough spots. The Byzantine liturgy does this by adorning the couple with crowns that remind them of the martyr’s crown. The couple therefore takes on a vocation of witnessing to the sacredness of life in all of its suffering and joy, and of keeping their eyes fixed on the banquet of heaven.

In Eastern theology, people have a liturgical vocation to give God praise, and marriage fits within that plan. It is not so much saying prayers that counts, but becoming prayer. Interestingly, in this liturgy the couple never utters a word other than joining in the community’s chants; there are no marriage vows as such. There is therefore not a hint of our Western Christian sense that marriage is a legal contract. Rather, it is all about living out one’s baptismal vocation, embracing the cross, pouring oneself out in love, and opening to the grace of the Holy Spirit.

A LITTLE FAITH

Today our readings are about faith, frustration, and how much is enough. Habakkuk is a complainer having an argument with God. Timothy is encouraging a community challenged by cowardice and the apostles want more faith than they have. Things aren’t happening fast enough for any of them or for us. All of them and we want God to do something sooner rather than later and we want God to give us a reason to believe that it will all work out. What does God do? God puts it back on them—and us—telling Habakkuk to describe the world he wants; telling the apostles to do more than the expected. Doing more with less is a familiar phrase today and a reminder that a little faith may be enough even for the most difficult times. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

UN POCO DE FE Hoy nuestras lecturas acerca de la fe, la frustración y cuánto es suficiente. El profeta Habacuc es un quejoso que tiene una discusión con Dios. Timoteo está animando a una comunidad desafiada por la cobardía y los apóstoles quieren más fe de la que tienen. Las cosas no suceden lo suficientemente rápido para ninguno de ellos. Todos ellos y nosotros queremos que Dios haga algo mucho más antes que después y queremos que Dios nos dé una razón para creer que todo saldrá bien. ¿Qué es lo que quiere Dios? Dios se lo devuelve a ellos, y a nosotros, diciéndole a Habacuc que describa el mundo que él quiere; diciéndole a los apóstoles hacer más de lo que se espera. Haciendo más con menos es una frase muy conocida hoy y un recuerdo que un poco de fe puede ser suficiente incluso en los momentos difíciles. Cpyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
