HEARING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
St. Jude Church has a hearing assistance system

usher for a receiver and headphones as you enter the
church. It is very simple to operate, and our testing
indicates it will greatly improve your ability to hear,
understand, and participate in the liturgy. Clean
headphones are available, but you may wish to
provide your own, especially for long-term use. To
find out more, or if you have any feedback
concerning the system, contact the parish office.

Homilía
Todo conocimiento de Dios ha de arrancar de esta
gozosa realidad: Dios es mi Padre. Un Padre que
no se incomoda con la inconsciencia y las
debilidades humanas, sino que está siempre
dispuesto a abrir sus brazos paternales a sus hijos
rebeldes o protestones.
Detengámonos un poco en esta consoladora
realidad al hilo de esta soberbia parábola que
acabamos de escuchar centrando nuestra atención
en el comportamiento del Padre con estos dos
hijos, porque en ella Jesús nos ofrece un retrato fiel
del Corazón de Dios. Lo primero que llama la
atención es que el amor del Padre por sus hijos es
total. Total y absoluto, como se observa tanto en el
diálogo con el mayor que ha vivido protegido por
ese amor sin valorarlo, como en su comportamiento
con el menor. El mayor está a su lado, ciertamente,
pero lo que en el fondo desea es divertirse con sus
amigos. El menor ha tirado la mitad de la hacienda
y perdido la dignidad.
La alegría del Padre por el retorno de su hijo menor
nos humedece los ojos. Antes de que el hijo abra la
boca para disculparse ha corrido a su encuentro y
lo ha cubierto de besos. "Tú temes una reprensión,
y Él te devuelve tu dignidad, comenta S. Ambrosio,
temes un castigo, y te da un beso; tienes miedo de
una palabra airada, y prepara para ti un banquete".
Es
realmente
consolador.
Pero,
¿y
su
comportamiento con el mayor, no es, si cabe, aún
más conmovedor? Recordemos que al volver de su
trabajo y ver la fiesta, la música, el banquete por el
regreso de su hermano se irrita y se niega a
participar en la fiesta. Piensa, tal vez, que su
fidelidad no ha sido valorada y es víctima de un
agravio comparativo. Con una ternura inmensa el
Padre se dirige también a él: "Hijo, tú estás siempre
conmigo, y todo lo mío es tuyo; debería alegrarte,
porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto, y ha
revivido; estaba perdido, y lo hemos encontrado".
¡Qué distinto es Dios de nosotros! ¡De qué forma
tan otra se conduce cuando nos portamos mal con
Él!
Pascal decía que "el corazón tiene razones que la
mente no comprende". ¿No sentimos latir aquí el
Corazón de Dios? Sí, Dios nos ama a pesar de que
nosotros no lo hagamos, o lo hagamos de un modo
poco entusiasta, como el hijo mayor. Es preciso
reconsiderar muchas veces todo esto para que no
desesperemos ante nuestras rebeldías y protestas,
porque "quien ha sido objeto de la compasión
divina -dice Juan Pablo II- no se siente humillado
sino revalorizado".
Pidamos hoy esto: Señor, inculca esta verdad no
sólo en mi cabeza y mi corazón sino en mi vivir
diario. Que ante los reveses de la vida no pierda la
serenidad, consciente de que nada ocurre que no
sea para bien y oiga siempre en el fondo del
corazón: tú eres mi hijo muy amado, en quien me
complazco; hijo mío en mi Hijo.
Consejo Espiritual
12 Pautas modernas de etiqueta que todos deberíamos
seguir
Las buenas maneras son la expresión de lo mejor que hay
en nosotros para darnos a los demás, como una muestra
de respeto y atención, ubicándonos ambas partes en el
mismo nivel y dándole a entender al otro que es tan
valioso como lo soy yo. Además, expresan el nivel de
conciencia que tenemos hacia la dignidad de los otros.
No obstante, cada vez hay menos interés en las reglas de
etiqueta, cuando en realidad, las buenas maneras nos
permiten vivir mejor en sociedad basada en una
cordialidad elemental para demostrar respeto por el otro
y por sí mismo. Las siguientes son algunas pautas de
etiqueta que todos deberíamos seguir:
1. Nunca vayas de visita sin llamar antes. No
siempre se está preparado o en disposición de recibir
personas en casa, un gesto mínimo de cortesía es
consultar al anfitrión que día y a qué hora se puede
visitar.
2. Evita poner tu móvil en la mesa en lugares
públicos. Este gesto puede ser interpretado por el
interlocutor como falta de interés en la conversación y
puede dejar por sentado la gran importancia que tiene ese
aparato en tu vida y lo poco que te interesa lo que está
ocurriendo a tu alrededor.
3. Si vas a alguna parte con alguien y él o ella
saludó a una persona que tú no conoces deberás
saludarla también.
4. Si te han ofendido no vale la pena responder
con una palabrota o un mal gesto, mucho menos
levantarle la voz a quien ofende, No te rebajes a su nivel.
Sonríe y amablemente retírate de la presencia de esa
persona.
5. Los conductores deben recordar que mojar a
los transeúntes haciendo pasar su automóvil por
un charco es la peor de las faltas de respeto.
6. No es prudente hablar en público acerca de
algunos temas como: la edad, el dinero, la política, la
religión, los problemas domésticos…
7. Al llegar a un cinema, un teatro, un concierto la
manera correcta de pasar a los lugares asignados
es dándole la cara a quienes están sentados.
8. La regla de oro para usar perfumes y colonias
es la moderación. Si cuando caiga la tarde aún sientes
el olor de tu perfume debes saber que el resto habrán
tenido que soportarlo, y seguramente no lo disfrutaron
tanto como tú.
9. Sin importar quién seas, al entrar a un recinto,
saluda primero.
10. Reírse muy fuerte, hablar en voz demasiado
alta, quedarse mirando a las otras personas puede
resultar ofensivo para algunos.
11. Come de la manera adecuada. Como se le enseña
a los niños: con la boca cerrada, despacio, disfrutando
cada bocado.
12. No olvides siempre agradecer a tus amigos,
familiares y personas cercanas. Agradéceles por
ejemplo por sus buenas obras y buena disposición para
ayudarte. Expresar gratitud es un acto de personas
educadas y sensibles.
Y para finalizar unas palabras del legendario actor
estadounidense Jack Nicholson:
«Presto mucha atención a las reglas de etiqueta. El cómo
pasar el plato. No gritar de una habitación a otra. No abrir
una puerta cerrada sin llamar antes. Dejar pasar primero
a las mujeres. El objetivo de todas estas innumerables
reglas es muy simple: hacer la vida mejor. No podemos
vivir en un estado crónico de guerra con todos, eso es
estúpido. Vigilo cuidadosamente mis modales. Esto no es
un mito. Esto es todo un lenguaje de respeto mutuo que
es comprensible para todos».
