Transforming Cultural Catholics Into Intentional Disciples Transformando Católicos por Tradición en Discípulos con Intención
Reflecting on God’s Word “THE PRAYER OF THE LOWLY PIERCES THE CLOUDS” When Jesus was teaching or preaching, he would regularly upset assumptions about how the world works, especially the world of religious observances. Moreover, just when we think we’ve figured this out, we get caught off guard yet again—disorientation layered over surprise. The Pharisees of Jesus’s day emphasized the observance of Mosaic Law in everyday life, providing a path of righteousness for people unable to attend temple sacrifices. However, some of them also took pride in their own observances, looking down on others and becoming self-righteous. Jesus addressed this parable them, to “those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else,” like tax collectors. But didn’t they have a point? Tax collectors were among society’s outcasts; didn’t this one just admit his own sinfulness? How could a tax collector be “justified” (that is, made right) before God, while the Pharisee was not? Why would God even listen to the prayer of a tax collector? This surely was a surprise, upsetting common assumptions about righteousness. BUT WHO ARE THE “LOWLY”? There is another layer of assumptions that gets exposed here: tax collectors could hardly be considered “lowly.” Widows, orphans, those who suffer—these are truly lowly ones for whom the Law commands kindness, and obviously God hears their prayers. But tax collectors? They collected revenue for the pagan Romans; they were outcasts, objects of scorn. How could they be considered among the “lowly”? For that matter—what is a tax collector doing in the temple anyway? Here the parable might be more than surprising; it might even be disorienting. What if the people we cannot imagine being justified before God, embraced by God’s mercy, are the ones whom God sees as lowly? What if the parable challenges us to question whether we ourselves unconsciously categorize people as either “worthy” or “unworthy,” either “like us” or “one of them”? What if we took seriously the idea that God’s love is for “them” just as much as it is for “us”?

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios “LA ORACIÓN DE LOS HUMILDES TRASPASA LAS NUBES” Cuando Jesús enseñaba o predicaba, sus palabras a menudo afectaban las creencias de cómo funciona el mundo,
especialmente el de las prácticas religiosas. Además, justo cuando pensamos que ya lo resolvimos, otra vez nos toman por sorpresa, desorientación una sobre otra asombrosamente. Los fariseos en el tiempo de Jesús enfatizaban el cumplimiento de la Ley de Moisés en la vida cotidiana, ofreciendo un camino de virtud para las personas que no podían asistir a los sacrificios del Templo. Sin embargo, algunas de esas personas se sentían arrogantes cumpliendo los preceptos religiosos, mirando de arriba abajo a los demás y se creían lo que llamaríamos hoy uno santurrones. Jesús les contó esta parábola “sobre algunos que se tenían por justos y despreciaban a los demás”, como a los recolectores de impuestos. Pero, ¿eso indicaba algo? Los recolectores de impuestos estaban entre los marginados por la sociedad; ¿acaso este recolector de impuestos no acaba de reconocer su propia maldad? ¿Cómo podía un recolector de impuestos ser “justificado” (es decir, justo) ante Dios, mientras los fariseos no? ¿Por qué Dios escucharía la oración de un recolector de impuestos? Por seguro esto era una sorpresa, molestando las creencias comunes acerca de la justificación. ¿PERO, QUIÉNES SON LOS “HUMILDES”? Hay otra serie de suposiciones que se exponen aquí: los recolectores de impuestos difícilmente podían ser considerados “humildes”. Las viudas, los huérfanos, las personas que sufren, ellos son los verdaderos humildes para quienes la Ley exige generosidad y obviamente Dios escucha sus oraciones. ¿Pero los recolectores de impuestos? Ellos recaudaban ingresos para los idolatras romanos; ellos eran los marginados y sujetos de desprecio. ¿Cómo podían ser considerados en medio de los “humildes”? De hecho, ¿qué hace un recolector de impuestos en el Templo en todo caso? Aquí la parábola podría ser más que sorprendente, incluso podría ser desorientadora. ¿Qué pasa con las personas que pensamos no pueden ser justificadas ante Dios, abrazadas por la misericordia de Dios, son aquellas a quienes Dios las ve como humildes? ¿Qué pasa si la parábola nos desafía a preguntarnos si nosotros categorizamos inconscientemente a las personas como “dignas” o “indignas”, o bien “como nosotros” o “una de esas”? ¿Qué pasa si tomamos seriamente la idea de que el amor de Dios es para “ellos” tanto como lo es para “nosotros”?

HHHALLOWMASALLOWMASALLOWMAS: T: T: THEHEHE TTTRIDUUMRIDUUMRIDUUM OOOFFF TTTHEHEHE SSSAINTSAINTSAINTS
by Fr. Mario Arroyo
Every year, a debate rages among Catholics and other Christians: Should children dress up during Halloween?
Lost in the debate is the history of Halloween, which, far from being a pagan religious event, is actually a Christian celebration
almost 1,300 years old.
"Halloween" is a name that means nothing by itself. It is a contraction of "All Hallows Eve", and it designates the vigil of All Hallows Day, more commonly known today as All Saints Day. ("Hallow", as a noun, is an old English
word for saint. As a verb, it means to make something holy or to honor it as holy.) All Saints Day, both the feast and the vigil have been celebrated since the early eighth century, when they were instituted by Pope Gregory III.
The scary aspects of Halloween "ghosts and monsters" actually have their roots in Christian belief. Medieval
Christians believed that at certain times of the year the veil separating earth from purgatory, heaven, and even hell becomes more thin, and the souls in purgatory, (ghosts) and monsters, can be more readily seen. Thus the
tradition of Halloween costumes owes much to a Christian belief.
By the 20th century, Halloween, like Christmas, had become highly commercialized and the Christian origins of the holiday had been overshadowed. The rise of horror films, and some of the more crazed elements of our
society had created a dark mythology that have tried to take over the Christian meaning of Halloween.
It is time for Christians to reclaim the meaning of the three day celebration, the "Triduum", of Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day.
All are invited to come dressed as Saints, Superheroes, and other good characters (the helpers of the Saints). At the end of the Mass all children will be asked to join the Saints in pushing back the darkness (all the way to the
Parish Hall) There ghouls will be imprisoned and a great All Saints celebration will be held.
After the first celebration of All Saints, on Halloween, the All Saints liturgy on November 1 will further emphasize the role of the Saints in reflecting the light of Christ unto the world, and its further expansion to all human beings
on the Feast of All Souls.
We invite all families to join us in reclaiming our Christian traditions in this year’s celebration of the Hallowmas Triduum.
