Dear Parishioners,
Today’s readings can be difficult to understand,
and because of this, there have been various
interpretations, some of which have not always been
kind.
I want to
share with you
some points of
view; let us see
today’s Gospel. It
begins with a
speech of Jesus in
which he defines
the nature of the
message that he was bringing: “I came to bring fire to
the earth, and how I wish it were already
kindled!” (Luke 12:49). Let us remember that the
symbol of fire has many meanings and so it’s easy to
see how it could be interpreted in many ways.
In the Old Testament, for example, fire was
often seen as judgment, and so, many conservatives
interpret this as Jesus saying that he will bring
judgment on the earth, and with the sound of the
second half of the statement, that judgment will
probably not be good. But I think other interpretations
fit in better with the overall pattern of Jesus’ thought as
we have been reading him.
Fire is also the symbol of the Holy Spirit. If
you remember, the Spirit came down in the form of
tongues of fire on the apostles. The Spirit, as we have
seen, is the gift of God to us which keeps God alive in
us after Jesus’ ascension. But, to get the Spirit to us,
Jesus has to go through his death and resurrection.
Could that be why he says: how I wish it were already
kindled”? I think so.
Now, the pastoral question for us today is:
How is this fire that we all received in our baptism and
reaffirm in confirmation? Is my fire alive, with strong
flame and lighting others?
I guess that Jesus wants that my fire burn with
love for others’ lives, creating a faithful and shining
community.
Blessings,
Fr. Edinson E. Ramirez

MEETING EMERGENCY NEEDS WITH DIGNITY An Interfaith Anti-Hunger Network Serving Those in Need Since 1980
Be a SUMMER
HUNGER BUSTER!
While summertime means relaxed days for many, it's
stressful for food insecure families who lose access
to Federally-funded school meal programs. In NJ,
only 20% of children who receive free and reduced-
price meals during the school year are enrolled in a
summer feeding program.
MEND's "Summer Hunger Busters" program is
providing supplemental summer food packages to
families of school-age children in Essex County.
Please support MEND's Summer Hunger Busters
program by visiting our website:
http://www.mendnj.org/ to donate, or
email [email protected] for information about
hosting a food drive to support this program.
So far, MEND has received over $13,000 for
Summer Hunger Busters, but we need an additional
$5,000 to supply packages to ALL our families with
school-aged children.
Thank you so much from everyone in our MEND
family. We look forward to serving our communities
together with you.
