Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 5, 2021 Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs to the kingdom? — James 2:5
THE MESSIAH FORETOLD Today’s story of the cure of a deaf man with a speech impediment is a good example of how much is contained in a simple miracle story. The Greek word mogilalos appears only here in all of the New Testament. It is a technical term referring to someone with a stammer. It is also used only once in the en re Jewish scriptures, in the passage that we read today as our first reading from Isaiah. Clearly, by his choice of this precise word Mark wants us to recognize that what Jesus is doing is the fulfillment of what Isaiah had predicted centuries earlier. In fact, Mark wants us to recognize that Jesus is the Messiah foretold by Isaiah and the other Jewish prophets of old. The word ephphatha, “be opened,” used to describe the restora on of the man’s speech, is another example of a subtle allusion to an earlier prophecy. This
me the prophecy in ques on is from Ezekiel, when he foretells that in the messianic age, “your mouth shall be opened to speak” (24:26). The sophis ca on of Mark’s narra ve is further revealed when we realize that there are mul ple levels within a single reference. Mark not only draws our a en on back to Israel’s prophe c past, he also points to the ini atory prac ce of his contemporaries by his men on of such things as spi le, touching of ears, and the use of the word ephphatha, all of which were prac ces incorporated into the early Church’s bap smal ritual.

Second Reading — Show no par ality as you adhere to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ (James 2:1-5). Gospel—Jesus makes the deaf hear and the mute speak (Mark 7:31-37).

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
Sunday: Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: Labor Day; Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year 5782) begins at sunset
Wednesday: The Na vity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Thursday: St. Peter Claver Saturday: Patriot Day; Blessed Virgin Mary FEAST OF FAITH Remembering When Jesus broke the bread on the night before he died, he told his disciples, “do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19). Chris ans have been faithful to that solemn command. Our eucharis c remembering is not nostalgia, nor is it merely historical, recalling events and facts of long ago. In the liturgy, remembering is ac on. “Do this,” Jesus said. In the Eucharist, we remember by doing. And as we remember, the sacrifice of Jesus is renewed, truly made present, no longer then, but now. A er the consecra on, each of the Eucharis c Prayers includes a sec on called the anamnesis, a Greek word that means “remembering.” In this part of the prayer, “the Church, fulfilling the command that she received from Christ the Lord through the Apostles, keeps the memorial of Christ, recalling especially his blessed Passion, glorious Resurrec on, and Ascension into heaven” (General Instruc on of the Roman Missal, 79e). We pause and call to mind the whole paschal mystery, Christ’s dying and rising. “We celebrate the memory of his death and resurrec on” (Eucharis c Prayer for Reconcilia on II). Obeying Christ’s command, we remember. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LABOR Without labor nothing prospers. —Sophocles
JUDGMENT To pass judgment on another is to usurp shamelessly a preroga ve of God. —St. John Climacus
RECLAIMING OUR UNITY
Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11. —Barack Obama
EL MESÍAS ANUNCIADO El relato de hoy sobre la curación de un sordo y tartamudo es un buen ejemplo de lo mucho que con ene la descripción de un simple milagro. La palabra griega mogilalos aparece solamente aquí en todo el Nuevo Testamento. Es un término técnico que se refiere a alguien que es tartamudo. También se u liza una sola vez en todas las Escrituras judías, en el pasaje que leemos hoy en la primera lectura de Isaías. Es evidente que, por su selección de esta precisa palabra Marcos quiere que reconozcamos que lo que Jesús está haciendo es el cumplimiento de lo que Isaías había profe zado siglos antes. De hecho, Marcos quiere que reconozcamos que Jesús es el Mesías anunciado por Isaías y otros profetas judíos de la an güedad. La palabra effetá, “ábrete”, que se u liza para describir la curación de la voz del hombre, es otro ejemplo de una su l alusión a una profecía anterior. Esta vez la profecía a la que se refiere es de Ezequiel, cuando anuncia que en la era mesiánica, “se abrirá tu boca para hablar” (24:27). La compleja su leza de la narración de Marcos se manifiesta más aún cuando nos damos cuenta de que hay múl ples capas dentro de una sola referencia. Marcos no sólo llama nuestra atención al pasado profé co de Israel, sino también nos señala la prác ca de iniciación de sus contemporáneos al mencionar tales cosas como la saliva, el contacto con las orejas y el uso de la palabra effetá, elementos todos que eran parte del rito del Bau smo durante la primera Iglesia.

Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 5 de sep embre de 2021 ¿Acaso no ha elegido Dios a los pobres de este mundo para hacerlos ricos en la fe y herederos del Reino? — San ago 2:5
LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: Día del Trabajo; Roshashaná (el Año Nuevo judío 5776) comienza al atardecer Miércoles: La Na vidad de la San sima Virgen María Jueves: San Pedro Claver Sábado: Día de los Patriotas; Santa María Virgen FIESTA DE LA FE Padrenuestro Esta oración refleja claramente la in midad que Dios tenía con su Padre, con su “Abbá”; por ello no
ene como fin primordial pedirle a Dios el pan para el diario vivir. Tiene como primera finalidad glorificar su nombre, reconocer su divinidad y pedir que ese reino de jus cia, de paz, de igualdad entre los pueblos venga ya mismo. Estas obras del Reino de Dios anunciado por Jesús, a veces casi impercep bles, es lo que pedimos que venga, es lo que estamos comprome dos a hacer una realidad. Sólo hasta que hemos pedido que se haga la voluntad divina, en nuestra vida, es entonces que pedimos pan para no desfallecer. No sólo pan material que sacie nuestra hambre, sino del pan eucarís co que sacia el hambre más profunda de los cris anos. La Eucaris a como pan, no es fruto de nuestro crecimiento humano, sino que es don divino; es Dios mismo que se nos da por amor para que no andemos “como ovejas sin pastor”. El comer este pan que pedimos ene consecuencias de perdón y reconciliación; de crear un es lo de vida diferente que glorifique el nombre de Dios con palabras y obras. “Que se haga su voluntad, así en la erra como en el cielo”. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
RECUPERAR NUESTRA UNIDAD Incluso el acto de servicio más pequeño, el acto más simple de bondad, es una manera de honrar a los que perdimos, una manera de reclamar ese espíritu de unidad que siguió al 9/11. —Barack Obama
JUICIO Juzgar a otro es usurpar descaradamente una prerroga va de Dios. —San Juan Clímaco
