From the Desk of Father Jonathan
One of the most often quoted Scriptures (rightfully so) is from the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 7: 1-3.... "Judge not, lest you be judged". The passage goes on to say "because with the judgement you pronounce you will be judged and with the measure you use it will be measured to you". I thought of this Scripture this week when I was walking through our indoor Italian market between Arthur Avenue and Hughes. There at one of the shops was a representative from the City. He was checking the scales and making sure they were accurate. Store owners of this type have to pay an annual fee of $20 to certify that their scales are fair, that they are really giving you or me the half pound of food that we order. The City knows that justice matters and humans, left to their own devices, are not always just.
When God measures us on his scale of justice it is al-ways perfect because God himself is perfect. He is all merciful and all just. He is not biased or unfair. He is the author of our lives and keeps us in being every day. Therefore, in justice, everything that we have is his. Thus we can say, that If he wants to allow us a long life, "blessed be God". If he wants to purify us through sickness, sadness, loneliness, we can still say, "blessed be God". He knows us and knows exactly what we need to become the people he made us to be.
We, on the other hand, cannot judge another's soul because we are not God. We cannot take life or hurt it, because it doesn't belong to us. Jesus told us, "Judge not, lest you be judged" as a warning: "don't stand in judgement of another human being because that is my job (God's), not yours". Instead, Jesus invites us to be his hands and feet of mercy to a world that is dying for love.
This call to avoid judgment does not mean we can't have opinions. It doesn't mean we should pretend ob-jective evil is good or vice-versa. We need to make many judgments throughout our day about what we should do and what we should avoid. But what we can never do is judge another's soul or their moral culpa-bility. We aren't God. We can't read their souls, and even if we could, we are not their judge.
Getting practical, this week, why not try this: when we see someone do something we don't like, we can say in our heart: "Lord, I know you love this person. I will show them mercy because you have shown me so
much mercy." God bless, Father Jonathan

CALL UPON THE LORD
The very first line of today’s first reading summons us to seek the Lord and to call upon God. This sentiment is echoed in the refrain for today’s responsorial psalm: “The Lord is near to all who call upon him” (Psalm 145:18a). Saint Paul is the embodiment of someone who constantly sought the Lord. In the excerpt we read today from his letter to the Philippians, we find Saint Paul toward the end of his life, a life he describes as completely consonant with Christ. He writes, “For to me life is Christ” (Philippians 1:21). To find out what it means to live life completely in accord with Christ we need look no further than today’s Gospel. There we find that God’s love and mercy are immeasurable for all those who seek and call upon the Lord.

RICORRI AL SIGNORE
Gesù ci svela quanto la sua logica sia diversa dalla nostra e la superi. Nella sua vigna c’è spazio per tutti e ogni ora può essere quella giusta. Così come ogni nostra situazione di vita deve essere la vigna che ci è affidata per curarla e metterla in grado di portare molto frutto e questo non per rinchiuderci egoisticamente in un ambito ristretto ma per riconoscerci, a partire dal concreto dell’ esistenza, “lanciati sulle frontiere della storia”, per essere cioè veri evangelizzatori e missionari. Siamo tutti pronti a riconoscerci tra gli operai che hanno accettato l’invito della prima ora, ma quale potrà essere la chiamata che il Signore ci riserva per l’ultima ora, per la sera della nostra vita? Riconoscersi tra i chiamati alla salvezza deve significare renderci disponibili ad accogliere ogni chiamata, anche la meno gratificante, la più difficile e dolorosa. © lachiesa.it

THANK YOU FROM FR. URBANO
As I move to another parish, I wish to express my deep gratitude to all the parishioners for their love, care and concern. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be part of this wonderful parish. My special thanks to Fr. Eric Rapaglia and Fr. Jonathan Morris and all the parish staff. May God bless you and your family!
CLAMA AL SEÑOR
La primera línea de la lectura de hoy nos ordena buscar al Señor e invocar a Dios. Escuchamos el eco de este sentimiento en el refrán del salmo responsorial del día: “Cerca está el Señor de los que lo invocan” (Salmo 145:18a). San Pablo es la encarnación de alguien que constantemente buscó al Señor. En la cita que leímos hoy de su carta a los filipenses, encontramos a san Pablo hacia el final de su vida, vida que describe como en completa consonancia con Cristo. Escribe: “Porque para mí, la vida es Cristo” (Filipenses 1:21). Para saber lo que significa vivir una vida de completo acuerdo con Cristo basta mirar el Evangelio de hoy. Allí encontramos que el amor y la misericordia de Dios son inconmensurables para todos los que buscan e invocan al Señor.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Las actas de los mártires son documentos de suma importancia en la Iglesia cristiana. En ellas se encuentra el testimonio de hombres y mujeres que con su sangre die-ron testimonio del evangelio. En esta documentación en-contramos el testimonio de quienes vieron y presenciaron su martirio. Por ejemplo, un soldado dice de los mártires: “Dormían en el suelo. No les vi quejarse en ningún mo-mento y estuvieron todo el tiempo rezando y muy recogi-dos. . . magníficos, unos santos. . .”. Testimonios como éste eran comunes en los primeros siglos del cristianismo cuando en la Roma pagana se per-seguía a la Iglesia primitiva. Lamentablemente, este testi-monio no viene de hace 17 ó 19 siglos, más bien, viene del siglo pasado, siglo en el cual la persecución de cristia-nos se multiplicó por todas partes del mundo produciendo más mártires que ningún otro siglo. El testimonio del soldado fue acerca del primer santo Argentino, Héctor Valdivielso Sáez y compañeros, quie-nes fueron asesinados por los comunistas en Asturias, España. Él fue uno de los más de 8000 cristianos martiri-zados en España, 30,000 en China, incontables en Lati-noamérica y otros lugares durante el siglo pasado.
