Reflection from Fr. Andres

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Year C. Readings: Sirach 35:12-14,16-18;

2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18; Luke 18:9-14. Brothers and sisters, the Word of God challenges us about our rela-tionship with God and with one another. If God refuses the proud and hears the cry of the humble poor, we cannot but identify ourselves with them. We cannot be the disciples of Jesus and think and act merely in terms of what we are entitled to by virtue of our birthright or conquest. None of us could be saved if God applied the strict justice on the basis of our merits and failings. The parable from this Sunday Gospel is actually designed to prod at our sense of entitlement and our claim to what is ours at the exclu-sion of others. It challenges us to think and act in the way that God in Jesus has shown us, which is based on the justice of the kingdom and the very mercy of God. Pope Francis often comes into sharp criticism even from Catholic circles because of the way in which he lives out the message of God’s gratuitous love and mercy. In an age of trickled down economy and entitlement, he challenges us to see and value people the way Jesus taught and showed us. His embrace of refugees, Muslims, prisoners, etc is quite frankly confronting. If tax collectors, Samaritans, lepers, etc were the benefi-ciaries of God’s unstinting goodness, who are we to exclude the out-casts of today? If the socially marginalized, the ritually unclean, the morally inferior, etc found favor in the company of Jesus, who are we to judge as not entitled to what we are entitled to? Let us pray that like St Paul who turned away from his self-made il-lusion after his Damascus experience, we learn to be humble, open and docile to God’s way. May we learn to see the way God would see, and it is often from the bottom up, or from the vantage point of the out-cast rather than from a privileged position. May our lives, and prayers be led by a humble spirit and acceptable to God. May we grow in em-pathy, and compassion after Christ’s generous, and loving heart. May God bless you. Amen!

Reflexión del Padre Andres

Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario. Año C. Lecturas: Eclesiástico 35: 12-14,16-18; 2 Timoteo 4: 6-8,16-18; Lucas 18: 9-14.

Hermanos y hermanas, la Palabra de Dios nos desafía sobre nuestra relación con Dios y con los demás. Si Dios rechaza a los orgullosos y es-cucha el grito de los humildes pobres, no podemos sino identificarnos con ellos. No podemos ser discípulos de Jesús y pensar y actuar simplemente en términos de lo que tenemos derecho en virtud de nuestro derecho de nacimiento o conquista. Ninguno de nosotros podría salvarse si Dios aplic-ara la justicia estricta sobre la base de nuestros méritos y fallas. La parábola de el evangelio de este Domingo en realidad está diseñada para estimular nuestro sentido de derecho y nuestro reclamo de lo que es nuestro, excluyendo a otros. Nos reta a pensar y actuar de la manera que Dios en Jesús nos ha mostrado, que se basa en la justicia del reino y la misericordia de Dios. El Papa Francisco a menudo recibe fuertes críticas incluso de los círculos católicos debido a la forma en que vive el mensaje del amor y la misericordia gratuitos de Dios. En una era de economía y derechos económicos, nos reta a ver y valorar a las personas de la manera en que Jesús nos enseñó y nos mostró. Su abrazo a refugiados, musulmanes, prisioneros etc, es francamente confrontante. Si los recaudadores de impuestos, samaritanos, leprosos, etc., fueran los beneficiarios de la bondad sin límites de Dios, ¿quiénes so-mos nosotros para excluir a los marginados de hoy? Si los socialmente marginados, los ritualmente impuros, los moralmente inferiores, etc., encuentran favor en la compañía de Jesús, ¿a quién debemos juzgar co-mo no con derecho a lo que tenemos derecho? Oremos para que, como San Pablo, que se alejó de su propia ilusión después de su experiencia en Damasco, aprendamos a ser humildes, ab-iertos y dóciles a la manera de Dios. Que podamos aprender a ver la forma en que Dios vería, y es a menudo desde abajo hacia arriba o desde el punto de vista del marginado en lugar de desde una posición privilegiada. Que nuestras vidas y oraciones sean guiadas por un espíritu humilde y aceptable para Dios. Que crezcamos en empatía y compasión según el co-razón generoso y amoroso de Cristo. Dios te bendiga. Amen!
