Flores OUR GIFTS TO GOD - That we are generous with our gifts of time, talent and treasure when it’s not always convenient for us. Most of us are generous when it’s convenient for us. We are generous when we have the time or the money. But, generosity is the opposite of that. It means giving of one’s time, money, compassion, forgiveness or mercy when it’s not convenient; when it’s not on our schedule, but on the other person’s schedule. LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners, We all know and believe that Jesus will "come again in glory to judge the living and the dead." We affirm that belief each week when we pray the Creed. But it is possible that we have not thought deeply enough about the meaning of this final Judgment. For example, we know that God is infinitely merciful. But in today's Gospel, Jesus welcomes some people into his eternal Kingdom, but others go off to eternal punishment. It is hard for us to understand fully how God's mercy can go together with eternal punishment, but we can understand it partially. Today's Gospel passage can help us. When Jesus addresses the first group of people, the ones entering heaven, he says to them: "Come, you who are blessed by my Father..." But when he addresses the second group, the ones entering eternal punishment, he says to them: "Depart from you, you accursed." Notice how the blessing received by the first group came from God ("blessed by my Father"), but the curse received by the second group did not ("accursed"). The second group purposely and freely chose to live their earthly lives egocentrically. They didn't enter into a friendship with God, because they didn't want the lifestyle of love and self-giving that goes with it. For their entire lives they resisted and rejected God's many invitations - the voice of conscience, the teachings of the Church, the example of believers, the lives of the saints, the beauties of creation. They freely chose to live separate from God. Now, after lives like that, would it be merciful for God to force them to spend eternity in his presence? No - it would be cruel. Hell is not God's creation, it is the creation of those who feely and consistently choose to live without God. One way to understand this is to think of a normal, healthy family. In a healthy family, the parents are very concerned about the well-being of their children. They worry about all the bad things that might happen to their children. And so, in the early years they protect their children from harm and teach them to be careful, good, and smart. As the children grow up, the parents have two choices. The first choice is to gradually give the children more freedom and responsibility, as corresponds to their age. But this is a risk. There is a chance that the children will abuse their freedom, as the Prodigal Son did, and do damage to themselves. The second choice is to put the children in straight jackets and control absolutely everything that happens to them: force them to eat only the most nutritious food; watch only good quality entertainment, have contact only with good people, never be exposed to temptations or dangers. This way, they completely minimize the risk of injury, hardship, or youthful mistakes. The only negative aspect of this choice is that the children are no longer being treated as human beings. Which choice is more loving, more merciful? Clearly, gradually giving the children more freedom and responsibility is the more loving thing to do, even though it involves a risk - the risk that the children may abandon their parents altogether, in fact. God is our Father. He loves us too much to put a straight jacket on us; he loves us so much, that he is even willing to let us go, if we so desire. That's why the existence of Hell doesn't contradict God's infinite mercy. My God bless you. Fr. Dan

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Parroquianos,

Todos sabemos y creemos que Jesús "volverá en gloria para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos". Afirmamos esa creencia cada semana cuando oramos el credo. Pero es posible que no hayamos pensado suficientemente profundamente en el significado de este juicio final. Por ejemplo, sabemos que Dios es infinitamente misericordioso. Y en el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús da la bienvenida a algunas personas en su reino eterno, pero otros se van a un castigo eterno. Es difícil para nosotros entender plenamente cómo la misericordia de Dios puede ir junto con el castigo eterno, pero podemos entenderlo parcialmente. El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy nos puede ayudar. Cuando Jesús se dirige al primer grupo de personas, a los que entran en el cielo, les dice: "Vengan, ustedes que son bendecidos por mi padre ..." Pero cuando se dirige al segundo grupo, los que entran en el castigo eterno, les dice: "Apártense de nosotros, malditos." Note cómo la bendición recibida por el primer grupo vino de Dios ("bendecidos por mi padre"), pero la maldición recibida por el segundo grupo no lo hizo ("malditos"). El segundo grupo eligió a propósito y libremente vivir sus vidas terrenales egocéntricas. Ellos no entraron en una amistad con Dios, porque ellos no querían el estilo de vida del amor y el darse a sí mismos que va con él. Durante toda su vida se resistieron y rechazaron las muchas invitaciones de Dios-la voz de la conciencia, las enseñanzas de la iglesia, el ejemplo de los creyentes, la vida de los Santos, las bellezas de la creación. Eligieron libremente vivir separados de Dios. Ahora, después de vidas así, ¿sería misericordioso que Dios los obligue a pasar la eternidad en su presencia? No-sería cruel. El infierno no es la creación de Dios, es la creación de aquellos que sienten y consistentemente eligen vivir sin Dios. Una forma de entender esto es pensar en una familia normal y saludable. En una familia sana, los padres están muy preocupados por el bienestar de sus hijos. Se preocupan por todas las cosas malas que pueden pasarles a sus hijos. Y así, en los primeros años protegen a sus hijos de los daños y les enseñan a ser cuidadosos, buenos e inteligentes. A medida que los niños crecen, los padres tienen dos opciones. La primera opción es dar gradualmente a los niños más libertad y responsabilidad, como corresponde a su edad. Pero esto es un riesgo. Existe la posibilidad de que los niños abusen de su libertad, como lo hizo el hijo pródigo, y se dañen a sí mismos. La segunda opción es poner a los niños en camisas de fuerza y controlar absolutamente todo lo que les suceda: obligarlos a comer sólo los alimentos más nutritivos; ver sólo entretenimiento

de buena calidad, tener contacto sólo con la gente buena, nunca estar expuesto a las tentaciones o peligros. De esta manera, minimizan completamente el riesgo de lesiones, dificultades o errores juveniles. El único aspecto negativo de esta elección es que los niños ya no son tratados como seres humanos. ¿Qué elección es más amorosa, más misericordiosa? Claramente, gradualmente dando a los niños más libertad y responsabilidad es la cosa más amorosa que debemos hacer, aunque corramos riesgos-el riesgo de que los hijos abandonen a sus padres, aunque Dios es nuestro padre también. Él nos ama mucho como para ponernos camisas de fuerza nos ama tanto que nos deja ir si lo deseamos. Por eso el infierno no contradice la infinita misericordia de Dios.

Dios te bendiga.

Padre de Dan

Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo

Para que seamos generosos con nuestros dones de

tiempo, talento y tesoro aún cuando no siempre nos

convenga.

"... todo lo que hiciste por uno de los más pequeños de

mis hermanos, lo hiciste por mí" - Mateo 25:40

La mayoría de nosotros somos generosos cuando nos

conviene. Somos generosos cuando tenemos tiempo o

dinero. Pero la generosidad es lo contrario. Significa dar

tiempo, dinero, compasión, perdón o misericordia

cuando no es conveniente; cuando no es nuestro

beneficio directo, sino el beneficio de la otra persona.
