From the Desk of Father Jonathan
Maybe because the brutal killing took place in a church and during mass, or perhaps because the victim was a fellow priest, but Fr. Jacques Hamel's murder this week in Normandy, France hit home pretty hard for me. It doesn't frighten me.
It doesn't anger me. It just brings to the forefront the reality that life is short and that all Christians who live their faith openly are a target of twisted, evil minds. Our best defense against this evil is to be ready to meet our Lord whenever he calls us home. Evil only ultimately defeats us if we play on its team.
In honor of Fr. Hamel, this week, let's pray during mass with particular fervor and devotion. It was in the mass where Fr. Hamel died. We can unite our hearts to his as we worship Jesus for whom Fr. Hamel lived and died.
God bless,
Father Jonathan

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD Sunday Gospel: Luke 12, 13-21
In Chapter 12 of Luke's Gospel, Jesus instructs his disciples and the crowd on how to be ready for the coming judgment. A crowd of many thousands has gathered to hear Jesus. At first he speaks only to the disciples, reminding them that it is not persecution they should fear but the judgment that is coming for all who do not acknowledge the Son of Man. Suddenly a man in the crowd shouts out to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” He seems to have grown tired of Jesus speaking only to the disciples. Jesus offers the man no help. Instead he uses the question to teach what, in light of the coming judgment, life really consist of.
Jesus tells the crowd a parable. A rich man's lands have yielded more crops than expected. His response is not to consider how he might share all the extra food with others but to wonder how he can possibly store it all. He has what he thinks is a brilliant idea: to tear down his present barns and build larger ones. Then he will have many things stored up for years of eating, drinking, and making merry.
“You fool” is God's response to this man because that very night his life will be taken away. To whom will everything belong then, God asks. The rich man's world is small, just him and his possessions, and now he learns that he is to lose his life. What good are his possessions now? Jesus states the moral of the story. This is how it will be for everyone who stores up treasure for himself or herself but is not rich in what matters to God.
Centuries later St. Gregory the Great taught that when we care for the needs of the poor, we are giving them what is theirs, not ours. We are not just performing works of mercy; we are paying a debt of justice. Life does not consist in possessions but in sharing what we possess with others. The goods of the earth have been given to everyone. © Loyola Press
RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO Vangelo della Domenica: Luca 12, 13-21
Quel ricco proprietario del Vangelo che riesce ad accumulare abbondanti riserve, credeva di aver trovato proprio in esse l’assicurazione per la vita. Ma Dio gli dice: tutto è vanità, che avrà il suo ultimo e definitivo epilogo nella nostra morte.
Davanti a lui siamo ricchi solo di ciò che abbiamo donato, perché è solo questo che rimarrà e non morirà con noi. Certo, Dio non condanna la ricchezza. Dio condanna la ricchezza accumulata solo per sé. Il regno del Signore è nel gesto libero mediante il quale l’uomo si impegna al servizio dei fratelli.
Il cielo sono gli altri, e una mano che si apre ai nostri fratelli è una mano che tocca il cielo. Diffondere il bene, la bontà, la giustizia, la condivisione e l’amore per gli altri è spargere il cielo sulla terra. Solo così, ciò che facciamo, non è vanità, ma diventa veicolo e strumento per arricchirci di fronte a Dio.
Non ricordo chi l’ha scritto, ma condivido il suo sogno “di una società povera: una società in cui tutte le classi sociali si sentano rispettate, considerate, ascoltate, dove non sia necessario battersi o scioperare per farsi ascoltare, gridare il proprio odio e disprezzo per farsi rispettare. Una società in cui l’uomo prevale sui beni, in cui la preoccupazione della promozione umana supera la preoccupazione di accumulare beni.” Forse, anzi certamente, è solo un sogno. Ma c’è oggi una persona, una grande persona, Papa Francesco, che continuamente richiama la Chiesa a questa povertà e ci insegna che il Signore ci vuole liberi, fiduciosi, disponibili e felici. © Don Mauro Manzoni
A Prayer for Vocations Through the intercession of St. John Vianney
O God our Father, You promised "I will appoint shepherds for My sheep who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble: and none shall be miss-ing." (Jer. 23:4-5). Hear the prayers of Your flock. Through the intercession of Your beloved priest, Saint John Vianney, we beg You to call to the sacramental priesthood generous men who will desire nothing more than to serve You in imitation of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, our High Priest. And after You call them, we pray that You sustain the doubtful, console the discouraged, and strengthen the weak as they start the long and demanding preparation for the priesthood. Mary, Mother of priests, and example of faithful, humble, and joyful acceptance of God's will, help all those who are called to the priesthood to open their ears and hearts to the gentle call of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major “From the earliest times the Blessed Virgin is honored under the title of Mother of God, in whose protection the faithful take refuge together in prayer in all their perils and needs. Accordingly, following the Council of Ephesus, there was a remarkable growth in the cult of the People of God towards Mary, in veneration and love, in invocation and imitation...” (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, 66). © AmericanCatholic.org

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS Evangelio del Domingo: Lucas 12, 13-21
Tres veces, en el evangelio de Lucas, se le pide a Jesús indicaciones acerca de la herencia. “¿Qué debo hacer para heredar la vida eterna?”, pregunta primero un doctor de la ley (Lc 10,25) y después un notable (Lc 18,18). Jesús responde a ambos explicado detalladamente cuáles son las condiciones para tener parte en esta herencia. En un dialogo con los discípulos Jesús mismo introduce el tema sobre la herencia eterna: “Todo aquel que por mí deje casa, hermanos o hermanas, padre o madre, hijos o campos recibirá cien veces más y heredará la vida eterna” (Mt 19,29).
La tercera pregunta es la que viene referida en el evangelio de hoy. Dos hermanos no logran ponerse de acuerdo sobre la herencia. Nótese el hecho curioso: la herencia debía ser dividida, sin embargo es “ésta” la que divide. El dinero arrastra al desapercibido a una trampa sigilosa. Le lleva a donde quiere, le programa su vida, le aparta de sus amigos, divide a su familia, le hace olvidar incluso a Dios. Pero, sobre todo, le engaña porque elimina de su mente el pensamiento de la muerte.
En el pasado la muerte se agitaba como un espantajo. Hoy asistimos al fenómeno opuesto, pero igualmente deletéreo: se intenta de todas las maneras posibles hacer olvidar que desde el momento en que se comienza a vivir, se comienza también a morir. La insensatez, la ofuscación mental provocada por el dinero se hacen patentes en el hecho de que, justamente en presencia de la muerte (la división de una herencia tiene lugar después de un fallecimiento) la codicia hace desaparecer el pensamiento de la muerte. Jesús no ha despreciado los bienes de este mundo, pero ha puesto en guardia ante el peligro de convertirse en esclavos de éstos. © P. Fernando Armellini, Wordpress
