Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you.

— 1 Corinthians 6:19a

SPEAK, LORD, WE ARE LISTENING. In today’s first reading God keeps calling out in the night to a sleeping boy. Neither the boy, Samuel, nor his teacher, Eli, understands who is calling. But God’s persistence convinces them. Samuel is then ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). In the Gospel Jesus is out teaching. Various people notice him and begin to gather around. They soon become disciples and, like the young Samuel, are ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak,” they say, “we are listening.” God’s voice is always with us, awake or asleep. It swirls around us like fog on a waterfront, enveloping us, gently urging us to wake up, to listen. Awareness of the voice comes first; then willingness to listen; then, in time, the decision to act, to live according to God’s word. Let’s ask today for the ability to keep our ears open so we don’t miss God’s voice. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

JOY The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything. —St. Julian

The Greeting

At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us with the words, “The Lord be with you.” These simple words are not like the greetings that we exchange all day long—our “good mornings,” our “hellos” and “how are yous.” This liturgical greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth, the words “the Lord be with you” are spoken by Boaz to the harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of Judges, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed people to victory and freedom. For us, the words become a greeting of peace, a prayer that the Lord will indeed be with us, and a reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Our response—“And also with you,” soon to be “And with your spirit”—returns to the presider this prayer for the Lord’s presence. As we know from the scriptures, a prayer for the Lord’s presence is no small thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace, and challenge. God’s presence transforms us. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch

HABLA, SEÑOR, ESTAMOS ESCUCHANDO. En la primera lectura de hoy Dios llama repetidas veces en la noche a un niño dormido. Ni el niño, Samuel, ni su maestro, Elí, entienden quién está llamando. Pero la persistencia de Dios los convence. Samuel ya está listo; no para hacer algo todavía, pero dispuestos a escuchar. “Habla Señor, tu siervo te escucha” (1 Samuel 3:10). En el Evangelio, Jesús está afuera enseñando. Varias personas lo ven y comienzan a reunirse alrededor. Pronto se convierten en discípulos y, al igual que el joven Samuel, están listos, no para hacer algo todavía, pero dispuestos a escuchar. “Habla”, dicen, “te escuchamos”. La voz de Dios está siempre con nosotros, ya sea que estemos despiertos o dormidos. Se arremolina a nuestro alrededor como la niebla en una costa envolviéndonos, suavemente nos urge a despertar, a escuchar. Estar conscientes de la voz es lo primero; luego la voluntad de escuchar; y más luego, con el tiempo, la decisión de actuar, de vivir según la Palabra de Dios. Vamos a pedir hoy por la capacidad de mantener los oídos abiertos para que no se pierda la voz de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Del cumplimiento a la espiritualidad

La Eucaristía dominical ha de ser más que un mero cumplimiento de uno de los mandamientos de la santa madre Iglesia. La participación plena, consciente y activa en la celebración litúrgica supone ser un punto no negociable en la vida de los cristianos. No es del mero cumplimiento del precepto donde obtenemos lo necesario para continuar nuestra vida (aunque puede darse), es más bien, de asumir en nuestra vida lo que implica celebrar la Eucaristía. Es, creo yo, hacernos eco de la voz de los mártires del Norte de África que, ante la posibilidad del martirio y la experiencia de la tortura a causa de su fe, fueron capaces de afirmar: “No podemos ser cristianos sin la Eucaristía”. Resulta obvio que la celebración es parte de esta cláusula, pero más allá está el atar la vida a ese misterio que se celebra; el transformar nuestra vida por la palabra proclamada, vivir con la frescura de tratarnos como hermanos y hermanas, hacernos pan para que todos coman; trabajar por la justicia como una posibilidad que puede comenzar ahora mismo y que como resultado tendrá la misericordia y la compasión hacia los demás. Si en realidad celebramos la plenitud del sacramento, domingo a domingo, no podremos ser cristianos sin la Eucaristía, sin convertirnos en lo que celebramos. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Construir una relación sólida entre padres e hijos adolescentes

A medida que continúan los cierres por la pandemia, los padres y los hijos adolescentes pasan cada vez más tiempo juntos. No siempre es fácil conectarse con los adolescentes, porque a menudo sienten que sus padres no los entienden y prefieren confiar en sus amigos. Sin embargo, el tiempo en casa ofrece una oportunidad para que las relaciones entre padres e hijos adolescentes evolucionen y para que la confianza crezca de manera apropiada para el desarrollo de los jóvenes. Los adolescentes necesitan la guía y el apoyo de un padre de familia, como un equilibrio importante para la comprensión permisiva de una relación de “amistad”. A medida que los niños se convierten en adolescentes, la autoridad de los padres no disminuye, pero puede ser más útil involucrar a los adolescentes en un diálogo sobre reglas y límites.

Building a strong parent-teen relationship

As pandemic lockdowns continue, parents and teenage children are spending more and more time together. It is not always easy to connect with teens, because they often feel their parents do not understand them and prefer to confide in their friends instead. Nevertheless, the time at home offers an opportunity for parent-teen relationships to evolve and for trust to grow in developmentally appropriate ways. Teens need the guidance and support of a parent as an important balance to the permissive understanding of a “friendship” relationship. As children become teenagers, parental authority does not diminish but may be better served by involving the teens in a dialogue about rules and limits.
