LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES The message found in today’s read-ings 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 War-bucks 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 to-day’s readings that none of this is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for someone other than our-selves. It comes from the pur-suit 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.

MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NO-SOTROS 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 for-tuna 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 to-que. 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 justi-cia. 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 demasia-do claro para ignorarlo ni un solo día más.
