PERDÓN

Unos diez años antes, un padre e hijo se distan-ciaron cuando el negocio en el que eran socios se fue a bancarrota. El hijo culpó al padre. No se hablaron más.

Entonces el padre se puso gravemente enfer-mo. La madre llamó al hijo y le dijo que viniera a verlo pronto. El hijo entró con vergüenza a su habitación en el hospital. El padre hizo un gesto para que se acercara y susurró: “¿Acaso pensaste que podrías hacer algo que me hiciera dejar de amarte?”

El rencor y la cólera son abominables, nos dice la primera lectura de Sirácide. Piensa en tu fin. Deja de odiar. Vive conforme a los mandamientos. Como escri-be san Pablo en Romanos, para el Señor vivimos y para el Señor morimos.

Sin embargo, la parábola de Jesús en el Evange-lio de hoy nos recuerda la compasión de Dios. El inmen-so pecado de la humanidad ha sido perdonado y borra-do del libro. Tenemos que perdonar a otros de igual manera. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FORGIVENESS

Nearly ten years before, a son and father had part-ed ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again.

Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had be er come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father mo oned his son to him and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from lov-ing you?”

Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop ha ng. Live by the commandments. As St. Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord.

Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MERCY

Dost, thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor. —St. John Chrysostom

FAITH

Faith is the union of God with the soul. —St. John of the Cross

MISERICORDIA

¿Deseas recibir misericordia? Demuestra miseri-cordia a tu prójimo. —San Juan Crisóstomo

FE

La fe es la unión de Dios con el alma. —San Juan de la Cruz

Reflec ons with the Word of God from the priests of St. Cecilia Parish

September 13th – 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Read Sirach 27: 30 – 28:7 Romans 14:7-9 Ma hew 18:21-35

The Book of Sirach is an account of God’s wisdom and today’s passage begins with: Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner (i.e., one who lives apart from God) hugs them ght. The passage also offers a ques on, could anyone nourish anger against another and expect healing from the Lord? Peter asks Jesus if we should forgive another seven mes, and Jesus draws us in with his answer of seventy mes seven mes; a Hebrew figure meaning always, not limited to a fixed number, but con nuous and forever.

Why do we have trouble forgiving someone who hurt us? Was trust broken? Did the person fail our expec-ta ons? Is it our pride? What if we are the one who needs forgiveness? Can we look at the parable Jesus offered from God’s perspec ve of forgiving always, con nuous, and forever? We hope and perhaps expect this from God, but can the gospel parable allow God’s expecta ons draw us into the power of forgiving an-other?

Think of a person who we resisted forgiving. Sense our ability to harbor a grudge, which led to the resent-ment within to hug and choke us ghtly into a state of spiritual paralysis. Stop, pray, reflect, surrender, and release. Think of your own past and you will find many moments of where you needed mercy and received it. Next, create a personal reflec on on the wisdom of forgiving someone, and include an insight about re-ceiving Jesus’ forgiveness and how his mercy coaxes us to be merciful. Stay blessed in Him!

Reflexiones de la Palabra de Dios por los Padres de la Iglesia Santa Cecilia

Sep embre 13 – 24 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Leer Sirach 27:30 – 28:7 Romanos 14:7-9 Mateo 18:21-35

El Libro de Sirach es un relato de la sabiduría de Dios y el pasaje de hoy comienza con: La ira y la ira son co-sas odiosas, sin embargo, el pecador (es decir, el que vive aparte de Dios) los abraza fuerte. El pasaje también ofrece una pregunta, ¿podría alguien nutrir la ira contra otro y esperar la sanación del Señor? Ped-ro le pregunta a Jesús si debemos perdonar otras siete veces, y Jesús nos atrae con su respuesta de setenta veces siete veces; una figura Hebrea que significa siempre, no limitado a un número fijo, pero con nuo y para siempre.

¿Por qué tenemos problemas para perdonar a alguien que nos las mó? ¿Se rompió la confianza? ¿La perso-na falló nuestras expecta vas? ¿Es nuestro orgullo? ¿Y si somos nosotros los que necesitamos perdón? ¿Podemos mirar la parábola que Jesús ofreció desde la perspec va de Dios de perdonar siempre, con nua y para siempre? Esperamos y tal vez esperamos esto de Dios, pero ¿puede la parábola del Evangelio permi r que las expecta vas de Dios nos aden quien en el poder de perdonar a otro?

Piensa en una persona a la que nos resis mos a perdonar. Sen r nuestra capacidad de albergar un rencor, que llevó al resen miento dentro para abrazarnos y ahogarnos firmemente en un estado de parálisis espiri-tual. Deténgase, ore, reflexione, rinda y libere. Piensa en tu propio pasado y encontrarás muchos momentos de dónde necesitabas misericordia y la recibiste. A con nuación, crea una reflexión personal sobre la sabi-duría de perdonar a alguien, e incluye una idea sobre cómo recibir el perdón de Jesús y cómo su misericor-dia nos convence para ser misericordiosos. ¡Permaneced bendecidos en el!
