Jubilee Year of Mercy September 25, 2016 Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jubilee for Catechists Amos castigates religious people who, “comfortably complacent” (6:1, 5), ignore the unfolding collapse of culture, nation, religion (6:6). In Jesus’ parable, such complacency becomes the rich man’s undoing. He neither hurt nor harmed Lazarus, neither denied him leftovers nor ordered him removed. That is Jesus’ devastating point. The rich man did nothing wrong to Lazarus; he just did nothing at all good for him. Only in death, separated by “a great chasm” (Luke 16:26), could the rich man finally see Lazarus, whom he had failed to see in life, right before his eyes. Like the rich man’s “five brothers still in my father’s house” (16:27–28), we who are alive in the Church still have time to see that same Someone, Jesus, lying neglected right at our door—and time to do something. Who, specifically, concretely, practically, is Lazarus in my life? What can I do for that Jesus-in-the-flesh during this Jubilee Year of Mercy? —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Woe to the complacent. Their wanton revelry shall be done away with (Amos 6:1a, 4-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord, my soul! (Psalm 146). Second Reading — Compete well for the faith. Keep the commandment until the appearance of the Lord Jesus (1 Timothy 6:11-16). Gospel — The parable of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31).

LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES The message found in today’s readings is an oft-told story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas are only a few of the familiar fictional characters who thought enormous wealth could buy happiness and fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the printed word and stardom for his young wife, while King Midas conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his very touch. We learn clearly in today’s readings that none of this is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for someone other than ourselves. It comes from the pursuit of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith, love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and endurance. The Gospel reminds us that we dare not ignore the needs of others, acting as though we don’t notice their suffering. God’s call to us is much too clear to disregard for even one more day.

[K]eep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Timothy 6:14

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 25 de septiembre de 2016 Vigésimo Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jubileo para los catequistas Amos castiga a personas religiosas “confiadas” (6:1, 5) que ignoran la caída de la cultura, de la nación, de la religión (6:6). En la parábola de Jesús esa confianza es la perdición del hombre rico. Él no lastima o perjudica a Lázaro, tampoco le niega las sobras ni pide que lo quiten de la entrada de su casa. Y ese es el punto principal que Jesús menciona. El hombre rico no hizo ningún mal a Lázaro, pero tampoco hizo algo bueno por Lázaro. Solo después de la muerte, separados por “un abismo inmenso” (Lucas 16:26), pudo el hombre rico ver a Lázaro, a quien no se atrevió a verlo mientras vivió, justo ante sus ojos. Así como los cinco hermanos que quedaban en la casa del hombre rico (16:27–28), nosotros los que vivimos en la Iglesia todavía tenemos tiempo para ver a ese alguien, a Jesús que está a la entrada de nuestra puerta y que es tiempo para hacer algo. ¿Quién, practica, concreta y específicamente es Lázaro en mi vida? ¿Qué puedo hacer por ese Jesús de carne y hueso durante este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia? —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Ay de los complacidos. Sus juergas disolutas desaparecerán (Amós 6:1a, 4-7). Salmo — Alabemos al Señor, que viene a salvarnos (Salmo 146 [145]). Segunda lectura — Compite bien por la fe. Guarda los mandamientos hasta que aparezca el Señor Jesús (1 Timoteo 6:11-16). Evangelio — Recuerda que recibiste las cosas buenas durante tu vida; Lázaro recibió lo que era malo. Ahora Lázaro es consolado mientras que tú eres atormentado (Lucas 16:19-31). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario II © 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia

MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NOSOTROS MISMOS El mensaje de las lecturas de hoy es una vieja historia. El Ciudadano Kane, Papi Warbucks y el Rey Midas son sólo unos pocos de los familiares personajes ficticios que pensaban que con una enorme fortuna podrían comprar la felicidad y la completa satisfacción. Papi Warbucks admite haber pisoteado a algunas personas en su ascenso a la cumbre. Kane trató de comprar la palabra impresa y el estrellato para su joven esposa, mientras que el Rey Midas conjura inmensa fortuna y tragedia sólo con su toque. Aprendemos claramente en las lecturas de hoy que nada de esto es posible. Alcanzamos la verdadera felicidad cuando nos interesamos en los demás. Cuando practicamos las virtudes que Dios describe a Timoteo: fe, amor, mansedumbre, piedad, rectitud y justicia. El Evangelio nos recuerda que no osemos ignorar las necesidades de los demás, actuando como si no notáramos su sufrimiento. El llamado de Dios a nosotros es demasiado claro para ignorarlo ni un solo día más. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
