FAMILIAR INSIGHTS Spiritual teachers tend to repeat themselves, and to repeat other teachers. Maybe there really aren’t that many different truths to tell. Just a lot of slow, sleepy human beings—like us—who need to hear the basics over and over. Consider today’s readings. People complain God isn’t “fair,” and Ezekiel answers that God is more than fair. People choose their own fates, and people can change. Even evildoers can turn, do right, and live. “Actions speak louder than words.” A fresh new insight? Hardly. Paul tells the Philippians that he would truly be encouraged if those who claimed to be believers would, in fact, look to others’ interests and not their own. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” A novel idea? I don’t think so. In Jesus’ story of the farmer and his sons, everyone knows that the one who said he wouldn’t work—but did—is way ahead of the one who said he would work—but didn’t. “Talk is cheap.” Heard that before?

ENSEÑANZAS FAMILIARES

Los maestros espirituales suelen repetir sus enseñanzas, y repetir las de otros maestros. Quizás no existen muchas verdades diferentes que decir. Sólo muchos seres humanos lentos y aletargados, como nosotros, que necesitan oír lo básico una y otra vez. Considera, por ejemplo las lecturas de hoy. La gente se queja de que Dios no es “justo” y Ezequiel responde que Dios es más que justo. Las personas eligen su propio destino, y las personas pueden cambiar. Hasta los malhechores pueden cambiar de rumbo, hacer lo que es justo, y vivir. “Los hechos valen más que las palabras”. ¿Un nuevo discernimiento? Para nada. Pablo dice a los filipenses que lo llenarían de alegría si los que claman ser creyentes, de hecho, buscan el interés de los otros y no el propio. “Obras son amores y no buenas razones”. ¿Una idea novedosa? No lo creo. En el relato de Jesús del viñador y sus dos hijos, todos saben que el que dijo que no trabajaría, pero lo hizo le lleva la delantera al que dijo que trabajaría, pero no lo hizo.

Live the Gospel of Life Respect Life Reflection

Twenty-five years ago, Pope St. John Paul II wrote that the Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus’ saving message to the world (Evangelium vitae 1). In taking on human flesh, dwelling among us, and sacrificing his very life for our redemption, Christ reveals the profound dignity of every human person. This God-given dignity does not change with our stage of life, abilities, level of independence, or any other varying circumstance. Rather, it is rooted in the permanent fact that each of us is made in the image and likeness of God, created to share in the very life of God himself. The human person is a “manifestation of God in the world, a sign of his presence, a trace of his glory” (EV 34). And we must reflect this truth in how we act and how we treat one another.

The truth of the Gospel of life is at the foundation of who we are as followers of Christ. In his earthly life, Jesus provided the perfect model for how we are to love our neighbor and live out the Gospel call: “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt. 25:40). Jesus calls each of us to “care for the other as a person for whom God has made us responsible” (EV 87). The Gospel of life is intrinsic to the whole Christian life and foundational to the decisions we make on a daily basis. For, “the Gospel of God’s love for man, the Gospel of the dignity of the person and the Gospel of life are a single and indivisible Gospel” (EV 2, emphasis added).

In his encyclical on the Gospel of life, Pope St. John Paul II recognizes the full range of threats against human life, from poverty and malnutrition to murder and war. He places particular emphasis, however, on threats to life at its beginning and end—precisely when it is most in need of protection. In modern times, children in their mothers’ wombs and those approaching the end of their lives are certainly among the “least of these” in our world’s estimation. Practices such as abortion and assisted suicide tragically reject the truth that human life is always to be cherished and defended with loving concern.

As the Church celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pope St. John Paul II’s prophetic encyclical, let us reflect on how we personally live out the Gospel: Do I talk about and act towards others as I would talk about and treat Jesus himself? Do I inform myself of the Church’s teachings and engage in the civic arena as first a follower of Christ? Do I support and advocate for laws and policies that protect and defend human life? Do I help pregnant and parenting mothers in need? Am I ready to support a loved one nearing death?

Through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, may Our Lord grant us the grace to truly and courageously live his Gospel of life.

“Vive el Evangelio de la Vida” Reflexión Respetemos la Vida

Hace veinticinco años san Juan Pablo II escribió que el Evangelio de la vida es el centro del mensaje salvífico de Jesús al mundo (Evangelium vitae 1). Al hacerse humano, viviendo entre nosotros y sacrificando su vida por nuestra redención, Cristo revela la profunda dignidad de cada persona humana. Esta dignidad dada por Dios no cambia durante las etapas de la vida, la capacidad, el grado de independencia o cualquiera otra circunstancia variable. Más bien se fundamenta en el hecho permanente de que cada uno de nosotros está hecho a imagen y semejanza del Creador, para compartir la vida de Dios mismo. La persona humana es una “manifestación de Dios en el mundo, signo de su presencia, resplandor de su gloria” (EV 34). Y tenemos que reflejar esta verdad en cómo actuamos y cómo nos tratamos unos a otros.

La verdad del Evangelio de la vida es el fundamento de quiénes somos como seguidores de Cristo. En su vida terrenal, Jesús nos proporcionó el modelo perfecto de cómo debemos amar a nuestro prójimo y vivir la llamada del Evangelio: “En verdad les digo que, cuando lo hicieron con alguno de los más pequeños de estos mis hermanos, me lo hicieron a mí” (Mt 25,40). Jesus nos llama cada uno de nosotros a “hacernos cargo del otro como persona confiada por Dios a nuestra responsabilidad” (EV 87). El Evangelio de la vida es intrínseco a toda la vida cristiana y fundamental a las decisiones que tomamos diariamente. “El Evangelio del amor de Dios al hombre, el Evangelio de la dignidad de la persona y el Evangelio de la vida son un único e indivisible Evangelio” (EV 2, énfasis agregado).

En su encíclica sobre el Evangelio de la vida, san Juan Pablo II reconoce la gama completa de amenazas contra la vida humana, tales como la pobreza y la desnutrición hasta el asesinato y la guerra. Hace énfasis particular, sin embargo, en las amenazas a la vida en su inicio y al final, precisamente cuando más necesita protección. En tiempos modernos, niños en el vientre materno y aquellos que se acercan al final de su vida están ciertamente entre los “más pequeños de estos” en la valoración que les damos. Las prácticas como el aborto y el suicidio asistido trágicamente rechazan la verdad de que la vida humana deberá siempre ser atesorada y defendida con amorosa atención.

Mientras la Iglesia celebra el 25o aniversario de la profética encíclica de san Juan Pablo II, reflexionemos en cómo vivimos personalmente el Evangelio: ¿Hablo y actúo hacia otros como hablaría y trataría a Jesus? ¿Me informo acerca de las doctrinas de la Iglesia y participo en el ámbito cívico primero como seguidor de Cristo? ¿Apoyo e intercedo por las leyes y políticas que protegen y defienden la vida humana? ¿Ayudo a las embarazadas y a las madres que crían hijos que están necesitadas de ayuda? ¿Estoy preparado para apoyar a un ser querido en su lecho de muerte?

Que por la intercesión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Nuestro Señor nos conceda la gracia de vivir su Evangelio de vida de manera verdadera y valiente.

Parish Wide Marian Consecration During this time of tremendous challenge, we need heaven’s help more than ever!

Join fellow parishioners for a unique parish-wide consecration to the Blessed Mother entitled, Mary’s Mantle Consecration. The Consecration is a daily guide to deepening one’s prayer and connection to our Lord through the intercession of our Blessed Mother.

In additional to the daily reflections that parishioners will do from home, there will be a weekly Zoom meeting for those who would like to share with others their experience of the daily prayers.

This 46-day consecration to the Blessed Mother will begin on October 28th and conclude on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12th.

*Study guides are required, and participants are invited to help cover material costs with a donation to the parish of $15. We will submit our book order on October 12th.

To reserve your spot or if you have any questions, please call the Parish Office at 209-369-1907 or visit our website: www.stanneslodi.org
