GUARDANDO NUESTROS COMPROMISOS En la obra musical El violinista en el tejado, el esposo, Tevye, cuyo matrimonio había sido planificado por otros muchos años

atrás, quiere saber si su esposa de veras lo ama. ¿Fue su matrimonio solamente un arreglo, un contrato? Después de tantos años, ¿llegó su mujer a quererlo? ¿Lo quiere todavía? Necesitamos saber si nuestros compromisos son duraderos. Necesitamos que nos lo recuerden y reafirmen. En la primera lectura, Josué, el sucesor de Moisés, necesitaba saber si el pueblo iba a mantenerse fiel a su alianza con el Señor. Josué iba a llevarlos a una nueva vida –una vida estable. ¿Serían fieles? Jesús, habiéndose identificado como la fuente de vida de sus discípulos, necesitaba saber. ¿Ustedes van a irse también o van a quedarse? Pocas veces vemos a Jesús tan vulnerable. Pedro y los apóstoles escogieron quedarse. ¿Qué vamos a hacer nosotros? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Josué urge a los israelitas a que sirvan a Dios o a los otros dioses (Josué 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b). Salmo — Haz la prueba y verás qué bueno es el Señor (Salmo 34 [33]). Segunda lectura — Pablo reflexiona cómo los esposos y esposas deberán darse amor y reverencia mutua (Efesios 5:21-32 [2a, 25-32]). Evangelio — Muchos de los discípulos de Jesús se alejaron; dicen los Apóstoles “Maestro, ¿a quién acudiremos? Tu tienes la palabra de vida eterna.” (Juan 6:60-69).

In Loving Memory + Julio Lopez +

KEEPING OUR COMMITMENTS In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, the husband, Tevye, whose marriage was arranged years and years before, wants to know if his wife really loves him. Was their marriage just an arrangement, a deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love him? Does she still? We need to know if our loving commitments stick. We need to be reminded and reaffirmed. In the first reading, Joshua, Moses’ successor, needed to know if the people would remain faithful to their covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead them to a new life—a settled life. Would they be faithful? Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of his disciples’ life, needed to know: Will you also go away or will you stay? We do not often see Jesus this vulnerable. Peter and the apostles chose to stay. What will we do? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Joshua challenges the Israelites to serve either the Lord or other gods. They choose the Lord (Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b). Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34). Second Reading — Paul reflects on how husbands and wives should reverence and love each other (Ephesians 5:21-32 [2a, 25-32]). Gospel — Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:60-69).

— ¿Como es eso?—

Estaba una madre y su hijo pidiendo limosna y la madre se puso a llorar y su hijo la consoló: “No llores mamá, cuando yo sea rico ya solo tendrás que pedir para ti.”

After a church service the Reverend announced there would be a meeting of the Board. As the group gathered at the back of

church for the meeting, a stranger showed up. “My friend,” asked the Reverend, “this meeting is only for the Board?” “Oh, yes,” said the stranger, “after that sermon, I'm about as bored as you can get.”
