Immaculate Conception

Pastor’s Corner . . . The rich man dressed luxuriously in purple garments and dined sumptuously, ignored the beggar Lazarus lying outside his gate, covered with sores because he was convinced that God had everything to do with it. He was made to believe that he had nothing to do with his impoverished neighbor. Because he thought he had no responsibility toward anyone except

himself, he treated him less than a human being, not even a fellow. This mentality allowed the so-called blessed and prosperous man to enjoy his riches even to the point of walking past the poor guy at his doorsteps. For him, the best life is to live well and eat well. Love of neighbor is not an option. For him, poverty is your own fault, destiny and God’s design, too. The poor are poor because God had punished them. Bad choices have corresponding consequences which the rich man believed was exactly what happened to Lazarus. Trapped by the misfortunes of life, he is left to take care of himself. An awful story, to say the least. It seems that this scenario makes us all feel bad and guilty of ourselves because of missed

opportunities and what and how we think life should be lived. For those of us who started from the bottom and climbed the ladder of success, we boldly claim that what we have is the result of hard work. We’ve been taught to love themselves as we are the sole arbiter of our lives. We learned what it

meant to be responsible citizens and gave out of our abundance. And now comes this terrible and painful story. But the central message is to show and tell us a truth that hopefully will change the way we run our lives for the better.

The rich man described as a royal figure, draped in robes and fine clothing, dined sumptuously and celebrated life, not on occasions but daily, had everything money can buy. He had everything in his capacity to do, so when Lazarus was sitting

at this gate but preferred not to. He enjoyed the comfort and the pleasures of life, by every sense of the word. What Jesus was furious about was the wrong interpretation of the scriptures and that is, the godless mentality and

lifestyle whose goal is nothing but the comfort and enjoyment of life. There’s a great chasm existing between them. The gap is too wide, complex and fixed, so that it’s impossible to bridge this chasm established by God. As you know, the deceased continue to communicate with us. They bring all sorts of messages. The after life is real. Their last words still reverberate in our hearts. We are told that Lazarus whose name means “God has helped” was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. Following this scenario, the so-called eschatological

reversal of fortune, typical of Luke’s Gospel, unfolds.

R E F L E X I O N

LÁZARO Y EL RICO OPULÓN Cierta persona acababa de ser promovida para un nuevo trabajo y esto significaba que recibirí a mayor salario. Así que e l y su esposa decidieron celebrarlo e invitar a sus amigos mas influentes, A media fiesta, llego una persona indigente a pedir un poco de agua y pan para comer. Ella le abrio la puerta muy enojada y le ordeno

que se fuera ra pido y no los molestara. Esta historia encaja en las lecturas de hoy. Las lecturas nos hablan sobre el peligro de las riquezas y el poder. Debemos aclarar que Jesu s no esta en contra del dinero. El sabe que se necesita para vivir. Lo que Jesu s quiere decirnos fuertemente es sobre el peligro del dinero cuando no se usa adecuadamente pues nos puede hacer

sus esclavos. En la primera lectura el profeta Amo s enfrenta y le hace una advertencia al rico y poderoso Israel. Amo s, teme que el rico y confortable estilo de vida acomodada va a corromperlo y a llevarlo a la ruina al ser deportados al exilio. El punto es que fueron seducidos por las riquezas, dependiendo totalmente de ellas. Se fueron alejando

poco a poco de Dios siendo atrapados por las cosas compradas por el dinero. La avaricia nos hace dependientes del dinero y las formas de poder, que de ellos emanan, y nos hacen perder nuestra dependencia total en Dios. Amo s les habla a los ricos que piensan que sus riquezas sera n eternas. La atraccio n a la vida placentera y desahogada que las riquezas nos proporcionan, desensibiliza los corazones de

los ricos que solo piensan en acumular. Jesu s en el evangelio continu a con el mismo tema de las riquezas. E l les habla directamente a los fariseos que

son amantes del dinero. El dinero puede cegarnos a las necesidades de los pobres y desamparados. Las lecturas nos invitan a cambiar la manera de ver las cosas. Con dinero existe el peligro de pensar que se puede comprar cualquier cosa, olvidando a los ma s pobres y necesitados. Jesu s nos quiere decir que, si no ponemos nuestra confianza en Dios, ninguna cantidad de dinero puede sustituir a Dios, ni tampoco nos puede salvar. En esto radica el mensaje del evangelio que nos previene del peligro del dinero. El pecado del rico opulo n no fue tanto el acumular riquezas, si no en su indiferencia con La zaro y los que sufren. El estilo de vida placentera lo atrapo hacie ndolo egoí sta, preocupa ndose solo en sus propias necesidades y deleites. No solamente actuaba mal, sino que tampoco hacia nada. En la oracio n del “Yo pecador me confieso” decimos me arrepiento de lo que

he dejado de hacer”. Cometemos pecado de omisio n cuando dejamos de ayudar a los que necesitaban de nosotros. La historia del evangelio es un llamado de atencio n de no poner nuestro corazo n y nuestra confianza

en lo que no puede salvar. Parado jicamente, el nombre “La zaro” quiere decir: “Dios es mi ayuda”. Los pobres permanecen en el anonimato mientras que los mas poderosos son conocidos y famosos. El poder y el prestigio no son

importantes para Dios. Para Dios los mas ricos son los pobres de espí ritu, que confí an plenamente en El y en su reino.

El punto central de la para bola esta al final. Los dos hombres mueren y uno que no tenia nada, lo tiene todo en el cielo, pero el que tenia todo en la tierra, no tiene nada, excepto su sed. El drama aumenta cuando el rico

opulo n pide a Abraham que La zaro vaya y le lleve un poco de agua para calmar su sed. Luego pide que La zaro vaya a decirle a sus familiares para que no terminen en ese lugar de tormento. Abraham le responde que ellos

ya tienen a Moise s y los Profetas. Es cierto, pero e l pensaba que si veí an a un muerto le creerí an y se arrepentirí an. Abraham le dice que mientras sus corazones no cambien, por ma s que un muerto les hable, no van a creerle. ¿No es esto mismo que paso con Jesu s resucitado? Muchos de su raza no creyeron, estaban

ciegos. ¿Que nos dice esta para bola a cada uno? ¿En do nde esta mi confianza, en Dios o en el dinero y el poder? Puedo ser pobre deseando au n poseer mucho, y si tengo e xito, puede que llegue a ser seducido por la ambicio n. La buena noticia, por supuesto, es un “zangoloteo” de Jesu s antes que sea demasiado tarde, para evitarnos que suframos lo mismo que le sucedio al rico Opulo n. Tal vez necesitamos evaluarnos a nosotros mismos a cerca

de nuestra actitud hacia el dinero y el poder y mirar si nos hemos alejado de Dios ma s y ma s. “Sen or Jesu s, abre nuestros ojos para ver como las riquezas nos pueden seducir. Libe ranos de cualquier forma equivocada de dependencia para poder confiar ma s en Ti, siendo mas compartido con los necesitados. Amen.

World Day for Migrants & Refugees. . .Sept. 29, 2019

Pope Francis calls us to look at the migration issue from the lens of humanity, of caring for, and waling with, our brother & sisters. This is not about people’s country of origin, but their unique God-given human dignity. How can we promote their well-being, protect them from cruelty & human indifference, and assist in their integration into our community? We are grateful to the Cursillistas in our Catholic Community who, once a week, provide lunch for the refugees waiting to ask for asylum on the Mexican side of our border.

dignidad humand única dada por Dios. ¿Cómo podemos promover su bienestar, protegerlos de la crueldad y la indiferencia humana y ayudarlos a integrarse en nuestra comunidad? Agradecemos a los

cursillistas de nuestra Comunidad Católica que una vez a la semana brindan almuerzo a los refugiados es-perando solicitar asilo en el lada de Mexico de nuestra frontera.

Marking Special Celebrations Sat. Feb. 15, 2020 ~ 2 pm ~ St. Luke

Marriage is one of the seven Sacraments ~ a covenant between a man and a woman, in the eyes of God. Many couples, for whatever reason, do not have their “unions” blessed or

validated in the Catholic Church to which they belong, to fulfill your promise to each other, to truly be “united” to each other and to the Catholic Church for life.

Fr. Jojo invites these couples to a special wedding ceremony to gather engaged couples, couples who are contemplating the Sacrament of Marriage, and those whose civil

marriages require validation in our Catholic faith.

Sat. Feb. 22, 2020 ~ 2 pm ~ St. Luke Couples who made the commitment to join their lives together in the Sacrament of Marriage,

and will be celebrating Wedding Anniversaries of 10 ~ 20 ~ 30 ~ 40 ~ 50+ years

are cordially invited to a grand Eucharistic celebration in your honor. Fr. Jojo will be the main presider to honor you and your spouse for the commitment and dedication you share and demonstrate to each other,

your children and the Church.

Guidelines. . . Marriage / Validation in the Church Couples need to call your parish office to set up your first one hour pre-nuptial appt. with

either Fr. Jojo or Fr. Marco At the initial interview, the marriage preparation process, along with the required docu-

ments, will be explained. Music will be provided during the Mass A reception will be offered for all couples in the parish hall at St. Luke following the ceremony
