Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary TimeToday's Reading: Is 66:18-21; Ps 117:1, 2; Heb 12:5-7, 11-13; Lk 13:22-30Our readings today remind us of the larger story of the Bible, of God's purposes and promises for the world. Because of humanity's rejection of God, as told in Genesis, human communities were first dispersed. Isaiah proclaims that one day God will gather these communities to be healed and reconciled with God. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus echoes Isaiah and teaches that all peoples in God's promised future 'will recline at table in the kingdom of God.' Notice that in Isaiah, the nations coming to God do not lose their ethnicity or unique identity. They bring their own distinct cultural gifts to God's table. Each people has its unique history with God, has received distinct blessings from God, and each is accountable to God. Today, we live in a global and multi-cultural Church. When God's diverse peoples gather in worship today, may we honor and celebrate each other's gifts and blessings.

Israel and the Nations The Old Testament is the story of God and the people of Israel. Today we can also see that other peoples--'the nations'--are important participants in the story. It was a crowded Middle East, and other nations like Egypt, Canaan, and Babylon were often close observers of Israel's encounters with God. They witnessed God's judgment upon Israel and God's restoration of Israel (Ezekiel 36). God's reputation spread widely among them. God ruled them and blessed them (Psalm 47, Psalm 67).In today's reading from Isaiah, the author presents a vision that all nations will one day be gathered to worship God. They will

be accepted in God's house as full members, and blessed with God's salvation (Isaiah 56, Isaiah 19). God's intention all along was to form Israel so as to invite 'the nations' to participate in the great plan. When God first called Abraham, God said 'I will bless you . . . All the families of the earth will find blessing in you' (Genesis 12). We, the Church today, share in this call.

The Last and FirstJesus' phrase in Luke's Gospel today--'some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last'--also appears in similar form in Matthew (20:16) and Mark (10:31). All are concluding statements of a teaching of Jesus, but each appears in a different context. In Matthew, the phrase concludes the parable of the vineyard workers, upsetting listeners' expectations of work and reward. In Mark, wealth is presented as an obstacle to salvation, again reversing expectations.In Luke, when asked whether only a few may be saved, Jesus shifts the focus to who is best able to receive God's invitation. Following his healing of a woman on the Sabbath (13:11-17), Jesus emphasizes compassion over a narrow interpretation of Jewish law. To his listeners' surprise, Jesus announces that those who practice compassion, rather than those in religious leadership, are the first to understand and accept God's salvation.

Did you Know?Keep an eye out during social events at school and churchNow that your children are getting ready to head back to school, it’s a good time to re-familiarize yourself with the school or church property. Keep a special lookout for any rooms or areas where supervision is low, and where a predator could take a child without being noticed. During school events, these are the places to watch. You should also take note of any locked doors, areas under bleachers or in stairwells, or anywhere else suspicious. Child safety should be a priority for all events.

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo OrdinarioLecturas de hoy: Is 66:18-21; Sal 117 (116):1, 2; Heb 12:5-7, 11-13; Lc 13:22-30Israel y las nacionesEl Antiguo Testamento es la historia de Dios y el pueblo de Israel. Hoy también podemos ver que otros pueblos, 'las naciones', son participantes importantes en la historia. Fue un Medio Oriente poblado y otras naciones como Egipto, Canaán y Babilonia que a menudo estaban observando los encuentros de Dios con Israel. Ellos atestiguaron el juicio de Dios hacia Israel y la restauración de Dios hacia Israel (Ezequiel 36). La reputación de Dios se propagó ampliamente en medio de ellos. Dios los gobernó y los bendijo (Salmo 47, Salmo 67).En la lectura de hoy de Isaías, el autor presenta una visión en la que todas las naciones, un día, estarán reunidas para adorar a Dios. Ellas serán aceptados en la casa de Dios como miembros plenos y bendecidas con la salvación de Dios (Isaías 56, Isaías 19). La intención de Dios todo el tiempo fue formar a Israel para invitar a 'las naciones' a participar en el plan grande. Cuando Dios primero llamó a Abraham, Dios dijo: 'te bendeciré. . . Todas las familias de la tierra encontrarán la bendición en ti' (Génesis 12). Nosotros, la Iglesia de hoy, compartimos este llamado.

El último y el primero La frase de Jesús en el Evangelio de Lucas de hoy, 'los que ahora son los últimos, serán los primeros; y los que ahora son los primeros, serán los últimos', también está de una manera parecida en Mateo (20:16) y Marcos (10:31). Todas ellas son frases con las que concluye una enseñanza de Jesús, pero cada una de ellas está en un contexto diferente. En Mateo, la frase concluye la parábola de los trabajadores de la huerta, molestando a las expectativas de los oyentes acerca del trabajo y su salario. En Marcos, la riqueza se presenta como un obstáculo para la salvación, una vez más revirtiendo las expectativas.En Lucas, cuando se le pregunta si solo algunos se salvarán, Jesús cambia el énfasis de quién es la mejor persona para recibir esa invitación de Dios. Siguiendo la sanación de la mujer en día sábado (13:11-17), Jesús enfatiza la compasión sobre la estricta interpretación de la ley judía. Sorprende a las personas que lo están escuchando, Jesús anuncia que quienes sean compasivos, en lugar de aquellos en posiciones de liderazgo religioso, serán los primeros en entender y aceptar la salvación de Dios.

¿Sabía Usted?Esté atento a los eventos sociales en la escuela y en la iglesiaAhora que sus hijos se están preparando para regresar a la escuela, es un buen momento para familiarizarse de nuevo con la propiedad de la escuela o la iglesia. Mantenga una vigilancia especial de cualquier habitación o área donde exista poca supervisión y donde un depredador pueda llevar a un niño sin que alguien lo note. Durante los eventos escolares, estos son los lugares que se deben supervisar. También debe tomar nota de las puertas cerradas, áreas debajo de las gradas de un estadio escolar o en las escaleras, o en cualquier otro lugar sospechoso. La seguridad infantil debe ser una prioridad en todos los eventos escolares.

Treasures from our Traditions The wonderful diversity of life and worship among Roman Catholics of East and West is an example of God writing straight with crooked lines. The steady hand of the villainous Emperor Diocletian drew a line across Europe and Africa that split the empire in

two, and for the most part determined how Christians would worship two thousand years later.

Italy�s heel and the far northern city of Trieste fell on the Eastern side, and have had a form of Eastern liturgy ever since. Con-stantinople, which soon became the seat of the Roman Empire, became a base for Christianizing the East up to Russia and

Poland. Poland was on the Eastern side, but a series of wars and medieval mayhem pushed the religious boundary back to the Ukraine, and Poland remains an outpost of the Latin Church to this day.

An old rule of thumb declared that whatever religion was observed by the local prince, the people had to follow. This gave rise to persecution and migration as people sought toleration for their expressions of faith. In the United States, we are accustomed to

peaceful collaboration among Christians of East and West, a situation that challenges churches that still feel the pinch of age-old division.
