Las lecturas y su mensaje
Primera Lectura - Isaiah 35: 4-7a
En el mundo mediterráneo de aquel tiempo se creía que
Dios había creado todo en orden perfecto y que cualquier
imperfección o mal se debía inevitablemente a una falta de
alguien. Sobre todo se creía que las enfermedades eran el
resultado de un pecado. La cura y la restauración de todas
las cosas a un buen orden se ven como la acción transformadora del poder de Dios. Se trata de una salvación física y
espiritual. Dios sanará a los enfermos y sanará también a la
tierra desierta e infértil. La restauración material y espiritual
son signos de la renovación de todo por la presencia de
Dios, que viene a traer nueva vida. el restablecimiento material descrito como prosperidad debe estar acompañado
por el progreso espiritual, es decir, por la capacidad de
andar por la senda del Señor.
Segunda Lectura - Santiago 2: 1-5
La diatriba era un método tradicional griego para la discusión. El maestro no sólo expone la teoría, sino que
presenta un número de ejemplos y explicaciones para probar su tesis. Aquí la instrucción abre con un aviso: no está
permitida la discriminación. El lugar para esta diatriba es la
asamblea de los creyentes, donde parece que se había
infiltrado el sentido del mundo de dar más importancia a
unas personas que a otras. Cada asamblea tenía la autoriIf

Para la reflexión
¿Alguna vez me he sentido excluido y apartado del grupo,
de la comunidad? ¿En qué momentos, en mi comunidad o
grupo, hemos tenido la tentación de excluir a otros—recién
llegados o de otra raza u origen—? ¿Cómo podríamos abrir
más nuestros grupos y comunidades?

Stewardship 2015
In Spanish Bibles,
why do Psalms have
different numbers?
FAITH ALSO means
I’ve been looking at a Spanish translation of the Bible.
Why are the Psalms numbered differently?
Among the various translations of the Bible, two numbering systems
are commonly used: a Greek numbering and a Hebrew numbering. Each
system is primarily based on one of two original texts: the older Septuagint, or Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures; or the Masoretic text,
a later Hebrew translation. When St. Jerome translated the Bible into the
Latin Vulgate, he followed the Greek Septuagint.
In Bibles using Greek numbering, certain pairs of psalms are merged into
one, such as with Psalms 9 and 10 and with Psalms 114 and 115. Other
psalms are divided into two psalms each, such as with Psalms 116 and
147. Hebrew-numbered Bibles, therefore, may list psalms a bit lower or
higher than Greek-numbered ones. The resulting numerical difference is
what you are witnessing in your Spanish Bible.
Other examples of Greek-numbered Bibles would be the Douay-Rheims
and those used in Eastern Orthodox churches. Many modern English
Bibles, especially those used in Protestant churches, follow the Hebrew
numbering. But numbers aside, most contemporary versions of the Bible
draw from several sources— including the Greek Septuagint, Masoretic
Hebrew, Latin Vulgate, and Dead Sea Scrolls—to create an accurate and
effective Old Testament translation, whether in English or Spanish.

Reflection on the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
Peter acts in this story as many of us would. Jesus’s forecast of the
future seems like doom and gloom to the disciples. They must
have felt he was just having a bad day, and so Peter tries to pick
him up and encourage him. Jesus will have none of it. Sometimes
we are guilty of trying to move people too quickly to a place of
comfort without giving them the chance to make peace with their
sin, their illness, their loss. Rather than listening to people work
things out for themselves, we are quick to pose a solution to their
problems, an easy way out of their dilemma. As Jesus suggests,
however, the cross is burdensome and worthy of lengthy contemplation.

Formation of Ordained and Lay Ministers
Second Collection on September 19th-20th, 2015
About a third of our graduates end up in traditional forms of ministry—both lay and ordained. The best preparation for work in a ministry setting is solid and broad coursework, strong internships that
stretch the students understanding of ministry, and intentional discernment and formation. Lay ministry is an option for those who are
unable to be ordained or who do not feel called to ordination. Lay
ministers have been selected for youth work, children’s ministry, musical leadership, visitation, and many forms of chaplaincy as well. The
turnaround on lay positions is shorter than that for ordained positions. There are a number of ways to support ordained and lay minis-
ters and its goals.
We will have a second collection on September 19-20, 2015 for the
formation of ordained and lay ministers. Please be as generous as
you can for this cause.
