2 ST. VINCENT DE PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH

Buena Nueva Good News Reflection

Forasteros

La lectura del Evangelio para este Domingo nos desafía a examinar nuestra tendencia a juzgar a los demás. La mujer cananea tenía dos razones por las cuales los discípulos la habían juzgado indigna de la atención de Jesús: su género

y su nacionalidad.

Por supuesto, Jesús estaba allí como Salvador para todo el mundo, pero los discípulos aún no lo sabían. Para

ampliar su mente (y la nuestra), Jesús esperó que la fe de la mujer cananea se volviera tan obvia que ensombreciera

todas las limitaciones que se le habían impuesto.

Para Jesús, el único forastero es alguien que se niega a entrar en el Reino de Dios. Pero no pensamos así

fácilmente. Nuestra Iglesia está llena de gente que ha sido mal juzgada. Muchos se sienten marginados.

Fácilmente brincamos a conclusiones erróneas sobre el otro.

Por ejemplo, ¿con qué prontitud saludas a las personas cercanas a ti en la banca, si no las conoces? ¿Qué tan cómodo es para ti entablar una conversación amistosa después de la Misa con alguien que se ve infeliz? ¿Tu

parroquia facilita que los padres solteros hagan actividades adicionales en la iglesia proporcionándoles

niñeras gratuitas?

Si estás divorciado, ¿asumes que otros te están excluyendo deliberadamente? Eso también suele ser un

error de juicio.

¿Por qué los homosexuales se sienten proscriptos a pesar que las enseñanzas de la Iglesia los invitan compasivamente a un estilo de vida santo?

¿Por qué hay laicos que se sienten bloqueados para ser colaboradores en el ministerio con sus sacerdotes?

Juzgar a nuestros hermanos cristianos hace que sufran. Incluso hace que continúen las necesidades insatisfechas

en la Iglesia porque los dones de los acusados, son rechazados. Pero, si somos conscientes de nuestras

tendencias a reaccionar frente a los demás con presunciones y juicios, tenemos el poder de elegir ser

como Cristo para ellos y recibir a Cristo de ellos.

Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal: ¿Alguna vez te has sentido como un extraño? ¿Incluso en

la presencia de Cristo? ¿Cómo has sido rechazado y descuidado? ¿Qué tipo de daño te hizo eso? ¿Estás

dispuesto a intentar de nuevo para involucrarte más?

Outsiders

The Gospel reading for this Sunday challenges us to examine our tendency to judge others. The Canaanite woman had two reasons why the disciples might have judged her as unworthy of Jesus' attention: her gender

and nationality.

Of course, Jesus was there as Savior for the whole world, but the disciples didn't know it yet. To stretch their minds (and ours), Jesus waited for the Canaanite woman's faith

to become so obvious that it would overshadow every limitation that had been imposed upon her.

For Jesus, the only outsider is someone who refuses to come into the kingdom of God. But we don't readily

think like this. Our Church is full of people who have been misjudged. Many feel outcast. We easily jump to

wrong conclusions about each other.

For example, how readily do you greet the people near you in the pew if you don't know them? How

comfortable are you about engaging in friendly conversation after Mass someone who looks unhappy?

Does your parish make it easy for single parents to come to extra activities at church by providing free babysitters?

If you're divorced, do you assume that others are deliberately excluding you? That too is usually a

misjudgment.

Why do homosexuals feel outcast even though Church teachings have been issued that compassionately invite

them to a holy lifestyle?

Why are there lay people who feel blocked from being collaborators in ministry with their priests?

Judging our fellow Christians causes them to suffer. It also allows unmet needs to continue in the Church,

because the giftedness of the judged is being rejected. But if we remain conscious of our own tendencies to

react to others with assumptions and judgments, we have the power to choose to be Christ for them and to receive

Christ from them.

Questions for Personal Reflection: Have you ever felt like an outsider? Even in the presence

of Christ? How have you been pushed aside and neglected? What kind of damage did it do? Are you

willing to try to again to get more involved?

Stewardship Reflection

Reflexiones

“For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.” - ROMANS 11:29

God has a special mission in mind for each of us. He has given us the gifts we need to accomplish

that mission. We are called to be good stewards by using those gifts to do the work that He has

planned for each of us. If we deny our gifts or fail to use them as God calls us to use them, then

some part of His work will be left undone.

“Porque los dones y el llamado de Dios son irrevocables.” - ROMANOS 11:29

Dios tiene una misión especial en mente para cada

uno de nosotros. Nos ha dado los dones que necesitamos para cumplir esa misión. Estamos

llamados a ser buenos administradores al usar esos dones para hacer el trabajo que Él ha planeado para cada uno de nosotros. Si negamos nuestros dones o

no los usamos como Dios nos llama a usarlos, entonces parte de su obra quedará sin hacer.

The Assumption Question: What lessons should I learn from the Assumption of Mary? Answer: Growing in holiness is similar to training in a sport. We need someone to show us how we can live our faith well. Mary is a model of sanctity. She shows us how to be faithful to God’s will, living each day with confidence in God’s mercy and love. At the Nativity, in Jesus’ public ministry, and at the Crucifix-ion, we see her steadfast trust. She allows the Lord to use her life to accomplish his plan for her and for all of us. In the Pref-ace of the Mass for the Assumption of Mary, we pray: “For today the Virgin Mother of God was assumed into heaven as the beginning and image of your Church’s coming to perfection and a sign of sure hope and comfort to your pilgrim people.” It is this image of holiness that we strive to imitate. In the office, at home, or in our community, we look for signs of God’s grace that call us to an ever greater love of him and each other. A greater awareness of God is a sign of our conversion of heart that lives the lessons Mary teaches. ©LPi

La Asunción Pregunta: ¿Qué lecciones debo aprender de la Asunción de María? Responder: Crecer en santidad es similar a entrenar en un deporte. Necesitamos que alguien nos muestre cómo podemos vivir bien nuestra fe. María es modelo de santidad. Nos muestra cómo ser fieles a la voluntad de Dios, viviendo cada día con confianza en la misericordia y el amor de Dios. En la Natividad, en el ministerio público de Jesús y en la Crucifixión, vemos su firme confianza. Ella permite que el Señor use su vida para cumplir su plan para ella y para todos nosotros. En el Prefacio de la Misa de la Asunción de María, rezamos: “Porque hoy la Virgen Madre de Dios fue asunta al cielo como principio e imagen de la perfección de tu Iglesia y signo de esperanza segura y consuelo para tu pueblo peregrino. . " Es esta imagen de santidad la que nos esforzamos por imitar. En la oficina, en casa o en nuestra comunidad, buscamos signos de la gracia de Dios que nos llamen a un amor cada vez mayor por él y por los demás. Una mayor conciencia de Dios es signo de nuestra conversión de corazón que vive las lecciones que María enseña.
