XXII Sunday in Ordinary Time AUGUST 30, 2015 "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me" Mark 7:6 August 30, 2015 Dear brothers and sisters, in today's Gospel Lesson, Jesus has a confrontation with the Pharisees. It all begins when the Pharisees notice that Jesus' disci- ples eat without first following the ancient custom of "scrupulously washing their hands." They ask Jesus, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradi- tion of our ancestors, but instead take food without purifying their hands?" And Jesus answers, "How accurately Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites when he wrote, This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts. To understand what Jesus is getting at here, we must recognize that this "purification" custom was not merely a social amenity. It was part of a reli- gious tradition. It was intended as a symbol of piety, an outward sign of inner-devotion to God's Will. Consequently, when Jesus recalls the words of the ancient prophet, "This people pays honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me," He is calling the Pharisees' value system into question. He is saying, in effect, "You have allowed custom to 'take over.' You have assigned too high a value to custom. You have embraced this and the hundreds of other religious ceremonials you practice as ends rather than means. And, for this reason I say to you, 'Your heart is far from God.'" That is to say, "You are allowing your own distorted notions about God to obscure your vision of who the one true God real- ly is -- the kind of God He really is." Once each week we renew what I am sure we all regard as an important religious tradition. In so do- ing, let us not fail to ask ourselves: Does this act of external piety in itself signify the person of good moral conscience? Does this weekly worship expe- rience in itself reveal our collective hearts as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit and the meeting place of Jesus and His brothers and sisters? Does the outward face of our religious zeal reflect an in- ner-life of devotion to God's Will? We must always have these questions before us lest we too fall under Jesus' condemnation of the Pharisees.

"This people honors me with their lips, but

their hearts are far from me" Mark 7:6 August 30, 2015

Dear brothers and sisters, in today's Gospel Lesson, Jesus has a confrontation with the Pharisees. It all begins when the Pharisees notice that Jesus' disci-ples eat without first following the ancient custom of "scrupulously washing their hands." They ask Jesus, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradi-tion of our ancestors, but instead take food without purifying their hands?" And Jesus answers, "How accurately Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites when he wrote, This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts. To understand what Jesus is getting at here, we must recognize that this "purification" custom was not merely a social amenity. It was part of a reli-gious tradition. It was intended as a symbol of piety, an outward sign of inner-devotion to God's Will. Consequently, when Jesus recalls the words of the ancient prophet, "This people pays honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me," He is calling the Pharisees' value system into question. He is saying, in effect, "You have allowed custom to 'take over.' You have assigned too high a value to custom. You have embraced this and the hundreds of other religious ceremonials you practice as ends rather than means. And, for this reason I say to you, 'Your heart is far from God.'" That is to say, "You are allowing your own distorted notions about God to obscure your vision of who the one true God real-ly is -- the kind of God He really is."

XXII Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario

30 de Agosto, 2015

Este pueblo me honra con los labios,

pero su Corazón está lejos de mi

-Marcos 7:6

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, en el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús tiene una confrontación con los fariseos. Todo inicia cuando los fariseos ven que algunos de los discípulos comían con las manos impuras sin seguir con la tradición. Ellos le preguntan a Jesús, “¿Por qué tus discípulos comen con manos impuras y no siguen con la tradición de sus mayores?” Jesús les contesto: “¡Qué bien profetizo Isaías sobre uste-des, Este pueblo me honra con sus labios, pero su corazón está lejos de mí!” A manera de entender las palabras de Jesús, debe-mos reconocer que la “costumbre tradicional” de lavarse las manos antes de comer, no era una simple práctica higiénica o social. Era parte de tradiciones religiosas muy antiguas. La intención era como un símbolo piadoso, un signo externo de una devoción interna a la voluntad de Dios. Consecuentemente, cuando Jesús hace alusión al profeta Isaías, está cuestionando todo el sistema de valores de los fari-seos. En otras palabras, Jesús les dice, “Ustedes han permitido que las costumbres y tradiciones sean las importantes y no las personas.” “Ustedes han depositado demasiado valor a costumbres y han aceptado cientos de prácticas ceremoniales como fin en sí mismas y no como medios. Por esta razón les digo, “Su corazones están lejos de Dios.” Domingo tras domingo nos reunimos a celebrar la misa, una tradición muy antigua e importante para nosotros los católicos. Al venir aquí, tengamos cui-dado de pretender que este acto externo de piedad sea indicativo de personas de buena conciencia mo-ral. Una pregunta apropiada seria, ¿Este acto reli-gioso de parte mía y tuya indica que verdaderamen-te estamos dispuestos de hacer la voluntad de Dios? Tenemos que tener cuidado que no caigamos en el mismo error de los fariseos. Paz y Bien, Padre Miguel Ceja

Mời Bạn: Là con người có xác có hồn, chúng ta làm gì cũng phải có biểu hiện ra bên ngoài. Vấn đề là làm thế nào để hình thức bên ngoài diễn tả được tâm hồn bên trong. Chúng ta cần học biết ý nghĩa của các nghi thức phụng vụ để hiểu được điều cốt yếu mà chúng diễn tả và thực hiện. Và trước những nghi lễ đã trở nên quá quen thuộc, lại càng cần làm với tâm tình và ý thức để chúng khỏi trở thành máy móc. Sống Lời Chúa: Trước khi dâng lễ, đọc kinh, bạn dành một phút hồi tâm để ý thức điều cốt yếu khi làm việc đó.

CẦU NGUYỆN THEO Ý ĐỨC GIÁO HOÀNG - Ý chung: Cầu cho những người đang hoạt động trong lãnh vực thiện nguyện biết luôn quảng đại phục vụ người nghèo. - Ý truyền giáo: Cầu cho chúng ta biết ra khỏi chính mình để quan tâm đến tha nhân với biết bao người bị gạt ra bên lề cuộc sống và xã hội. CẦU NGUYỆN VÀ THĂM BỆNH NHÂN Xin Cộng đoàn cầu nguyện cho những người già, bệnh trong cộng đoàn. Nguyện in Thiên Chúa và Đức Mẹ nâng đỡ những người ấy. Đồng thời xin thân nhân thông báo cho HDMV để tiện việc cử người thăm viếng.

PHỤNG VỤ TUẦN TỚI

Is 35, 4-7a; Gc 2, 1-5; Mc 7, 31-37

Người Pha-ri-sêu và Kinh sư hỏi Đức Giê-su: “Sao các môn đệ của ông không theo truyền thống của tiền nhân, cứ để tay ô uế mà dùng bữa?” (Mc 7,5) Suy niệm: Đối với người Do thái, việc rửa tay, rửa chén đĩa, v.v… không chỉ là một biện pháp vệ sinh mà còn là một nghi thức tôn giáo để được thanh sạch, xứng đáng kết hiệp với Thiên Chúa là Đấng Thánh. Đây là điều tốt đẹp và tự nhiên. Nhiều tôn giáo cũng lấy việc tẩy rửa làm một trong những nghi thức quan trọng. Chẳng hạn, người theo Ấn độ giáo tắm ở sông Hằng trước khi tế tự. Nhưng chính vì vụ hình thức và quá coi trọng chi tiết mà họ đã bỏ quên điều thiết yếu. Họ tưởng rằng chỉ cần làm đủ bấy nhiêu việc tẩy rửa bên ngoài là đủ để thanh sạch tâm hồn. Chúa Giê-su cảnh báo: đó là cách “gạt bỏ giới răn của Thiên Chúa” mà “duy trì truyền thống của người phàm”. Đừng lẫn lộn việc tẩy rửa bên ngoài với sự thanh sạch bên trong của tâm hồn. Đừng lẫn lộn ý muốn của con người với ý muốn của Thiên Chúa, cũng đừng lẫn lộn tập tục của phàm nhân với lề luật do chính Thiên Chúa ban bố.
