From the Pastor’s Desk XXII SUNDAY OF O.T. After having meditated the chap. 6 of St. John, Jesus "the bread of life", we return to the Gospel of St. Mark and begin reading the illuminating letter of Saint James, which reminds us: "Pure and irreproachable religion before God, the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation and remain uncontaminated from the world". These words of the Apostle Jaimes, come to us, while the vacation period is over for many

people this weekend of "Labor Day" and many will return to the usual activities. These words, in a way, introduce us to the Gospel of this Sunday. Jesus is still in Galilee, in an area far from the capital and the center of religion. Some scribes and Pharisees came from Jerusalem to argue with him, test him and accuse him. The Pharisees see that the disciples of Jesus do not observe the practices of purification before eating, therefore they ask the teacher: "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our ancestors, but eat with impure hands"? Jesus answers them with some words of the prophet Isaiah that illuminate his message and his action very well. These words with which Jesus fully identifies Himself, we must listen to with attention, because they touch something very fundamental of our religion. According to the prophet, this is the God’s complaint: "these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". This is always the risk of every religion: to worship God with the lips, repeating formulas, reciting psalms, praying rosaries, pronouncing beautiful words, while their heart "is far from God".

Let's not forget all our practices and prayers have to take us to the heart of God. The worship that pleases God arises from the heart, from the interior adhesion, from that intimate center of the person from which our decisions and projects are born. Jesus reminds us impurity is not in things, but in the heart of the person: "from the heart of men come the evil intentions: fornications, robberies, murders, adulteries, greed, evil, fraud, debauchery, envy, insult, insolence, senselessness".

In this way Jesus clarifies that evil does not arise by chance, but has its roots in the heart. We, men and women, are responsible for "the evils" of this world; this should awake our true conscience and social sinfulness, to help alleviate the injustice in our world. We know, the place to fight against evil starts in the heart. It is in the heart, where we must always plant the good seed of we learn in the Gospel, and lead us to bear the fruits that Jesus hopes from us: solidarity, friendship, patience, humility, piety, mercy, forgiveness and love.

In this weekend of Labor Day, while we thank the Lord for the gift of work we enjoy, we pray for those who need a job and, a more just and well remunerated one. Let us remember that it is through our daily activities and work that we sanctify our day and collaborate in the construction of a better world that we wish for all more just, dignified and humane.

HAPPY LABOR DAY. BLESSINGS TO ALL!

SEPTEMBER2,2018 TWENTY-SECONDSUNDAYINORDINARYTIME Del Escritorio del Párroco

XXII DOMINGO DEL T.O. Luego de haber meditado el cap. 6 de San Juan, Jesús “pan de vida” regresamos al evangelio de San Marco y comenzamos la lectura de la iluminadora carta de San Santiago, el cual nos recuerda: “La religión pura e intachable ante Dios Padre es esta: visitar huérfanos y viudas en su tribulación y conservarse incontaminado del mundo”. Estas palabras del apóstol

Santiago, salen a nuestro encuentro mientras está terminando para muchos el periodo de vacaciones en este fin de semana de “Labor Day” y muchos regresamos a las actividades habituales. Estas palabras, de algún modo, nos introducen al Evangelio de este domingo. Jesús todavía está en Galilea, en una zona alejada de la capital y del centro de la religión. Algunos escribas y fariseos llegaron de Jerusalén para discutir con él, ponerlo a prueba y acusarlo. Los fariseos miran que los discípulos de Jesús no observan las prácticas de purificación antes de comer, por lo tanto preguntan al maestro: “¿Por qué tus discípulos no viven conforme a la tradición de nuestros antepasados, sino que comen con manos impuras?”. Jesús les responde con unas palabras del profeta Isaías que iluminan muy bien su mensaje y su actuación. Estas palabras con las que Jesús se identifica totalmente hemos de escucharlas con atención, pues tocan algo muy fundamental de nuestra religión. Según el profeta, esta es la queja de Dios: "este pueblo me honra con los labios, pero su corazón está lejos de mí". Este es siempre el riesgo de toda religión: dar culto a Dios con los labios, repitiendo fórmulas, recitando salmos, rezando rosarios, pronunciando palabras hermosas, mientras su corazón "está lejos de él". No olvidemos todas nuestras practicas y rezos tienen que llevarnos al corazón de Dios. El culto que agrada a Dios surge del corazón, de la adhesión interior, de ese centro íntimo de la persona de donde nacen nuestras decisiones y proyectos. Nos recuerda Jesús la impureza no está en las cosas sino en el corazón de la persona: “del corazón de los hombres salen las intenciones malas: fornicaciones, robos, asesinatos, adulterios, avaricias, maldades, fraude, libertinaje, envidia, injuria, insolencia, insensatez”. De ese modo Jesús aclara que el mal no surge por casualidad, sino que tiene sus raíces en el corazón. Nosotros, hombres y mujeres, somos responsables de “los males” de este mundo; esto nos pide nuestra recta conciencia y pecado social, ayudar a alivianar las injusticias del mundo. Sabemos, pero que el lugar para luchar contra el mal es el corazón. En el corazón se libran las batallas para cambiar realmente el mundo, es en el corazón, donde hay que plantar siempre la semilla buena del Evangelio, que puede dar frutos de solidaridad, amistad, paciencia, humildad, piedad, misericordia y perdón.

En este fin de semana del trabajo mientras agradecemos al Señor el don del trabajo y pedimos por aquellos que necesitan un trabajo y uno más justo y bien remunerado, nos ayude a valorarlo creyendo que es el medio que a diario nos permite santificar nuestro día y colaborar en la construcción de un mundo siempre más justo, digno y humano.

FELIZ DIA DEL TRABAJO. BENDICIONES A TODOS!

Fr. Feccia’s Reflection Ventiduesima Domenica del T.O. — «Perché i tuoi discepoli non si comportano secondo la tradizione degli antichi, ma prendono cibo senza essersi lavate le mani?» La domanda può sembrare ridicola, legata ad una serie di problemi che

oggi non hanno più significato. Da tempo, ormai, la chiesa primitiva ha risolto la questione delle osservanze della legge mosaica. Tuttavia le cose non sono così semplice. Gli scribi e i farisei si riferiscono a quell’insieme di prescrizioni e di usanze che precisavano ed interpretavano la legge, perché la religione si inserisce concretamente nella realtà della vita. Gesù non nega la validità di questa preoccupazione, che però non deve mai mascherare l’essenziale, che è la disposizione interiore, la limpidità della coscienza, l’impegno reale della propria libertà di fronte a Dio. Ciò che conta agli occhi di Dio, è il nostro cuore, da cui deve scaturire il culto che dobbiamo rendere a Lui con tutta la nostra vita. I comportamenti religiosi devono esprimere la nostra realtà interiore, la verità di una decisione libera e sincera. In questi ultimi decenni, abolendo molte prescrizioni esterne, la chiesa non ha fatto che richiamarci ai valori essenziali della fede. Il vangelo è lontano sia dal legalismo che dalla permissività senza limiti. L’osservanza che non impegna il cuore non è altro che un legalismo ipocrita, che si costituisce la falsa sicurezza attraverso una serie di gesti formali ineccepibili, senza chiamare in causa la totalità del dinamismo vitale della fede. Ma il cuore che rifiuta ogni legge, nega la neces-sità di disciplinare la difficile coesistenza, in noi, dell’uomo vecchio e dell’uomo nuovo. Tutti sappiamo che cos’é un elettrocardiogramma, e forse ci siano anche sottoposti ad esso più di una volta. Il vangelo di oggi ci invita a praticare «l’esame del cuore», per met-tere in luce la verità di quello che siamo di fronte a Dio e di fronte ai nostri fratelli. Contro ogni formalismo—Ancora oggi il formalismo è alla base di tanti giudizi e scelte in fatto di religione. Sembra davvero che l’abito faccia il monaco: l’uomo religioso sarebbe un essere dalla vita ingombro di riti, di obblighi, di pratiche e di proibizioni esteriori. Così la pensavano i farisei. I profeti non erano stati teneri nei riguardi di una tale sclerosi della vita religiosa, e Gesù si preoccupa di spiegare che la corruzione non viene dal di fuori, ma dal cuore dell’uomo. Ciò che rende impuro l’uomo non è né il cibo né la moda, né l’ambiente: l’impurità è sinonimo di malvagità, e viene tutto dal cuore dell’uomo.
