FYI: October 9, 2016-28th Sunday in Ordinary Time XXVIII
XXVIII Domingo Ordinario 9 de Octubre de 2016
Today’s FYI will have a mixture of various themes. First and
foremost I would like to speak about gratitude and humility. In
today’s Scriptures, there are two accounts of healing. In both cases,
those who asked for healing were in dire straits. In both cases, the
victims suffered from the disease of leprosy.
Today, leprosy or Hanson’s disease is easily controlled through a
series of antibiotics. Previously, a person who suffered from the
disease was isolated and shunned. There were strict laws that
prevented contact between a person suffering from leprosy and the
outside world. Lepers were called ‘unclean’ and were forced to
announce their presence by ringing a bell and announcing that they
were ‘unclean’ and therefore to be avoided.
Hoy escribiré sobre temas variados. Primero que todo quisiera hablar
sobre el agradecimiento y la humildad. En las lecturas bíblicas de hoy
hay dos recuentos de sanaciones. En ambos casos, los que pidieron la
sanación tenían gran necesidad. En ambos casos las víctimas padecían
de la enfermedad de la lepra. Hoy día la lepra o enfermedad de
Hanson se controla fácilmente con antibióticos. Antiguamente,
aislaban a la persona que tenía esta enfermedad y la excluían. Había
leyes estrictas que prohibían el contacto entre la persona que padecía
de ella y el resto del mundo. Se le llamaba “impuros” a los leprosos y
se les obligaba a anunciar su presencia tocando una campana y
anunciando que eran “impuros,” y por lo tanto debían de alejarse de
ellos.
In the first Reading taken from 2 Kings, Naaman is a high ranking
official who has been afflicted with this disease. He has run out of
options in regard to a cure in his native country and seeks the help of
the Prophet Elisha. At first, he is reluctant to follow Elisha’s advice
and then is persuaded to do all that the Prophet has commanded. He
is cured! In his gratefulness, he wants to reward Elisha, but Elisha
reminds Naaman who is to be thanked and adored. Naaman in his
actions shows forth his gratitude and humility.
En la primera lectura, tomada de Reyes 2, Naamán es un oficial de
alto rango que padece de esta enfermedad. Ya no le quedan más
opciones para una cura en su país natal y busca la ayuda del profeta
Eliseo. Al principio se mostró reacio a seguir el consejo de Eliseo pero
eventualmente lo convencen a hacer todo lo que el profeta le ha
ordenado. ¡Y queda curado! En agradecimiento quiere recompensar a
Eliseo, pero Eliseo le recuerda a Naamán quien es al que le tiene que
agradecer y adorar. Las acciones de Naamán muestran su
agradecimiento y su humildad.
In the Gospel reading we hear once again the proclamation of the
curing of the ten lepers. These ten lepers are at the end of their rope.
They have been turned out of their homes, rejected by their families
and friends. They are considered ‘dead’ by many who knew them.
Their prayer, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us” is indicative of their
desire to be set free from this horrible disease. We know from the
Gospel, that Jesus tells them “Go show yourselves to the priests,”
nothing else. Yet on the way, they realize that something miraculous
has occurred! Indeed, something very strange happens, all know they
have been cured, yet only one returns to show his gratitude! This man
is a Samaritan according to the Gospel. According to Jewish custom
of the time, this man would have been shunned by the Jewish people
because the Jews would have considered a Samaritan an outsider and
a heretic. Yet, this man is the one who exemplifies true gratitude and
humility.
En la lectura del evangelio oímos nuevamente la proclamación de la
cura de los diez leprosos. Estos leprosos también están desesperados.
Los han echado de sus casas. Sus familias y sus amigos los han
rechazado. Muchos de sus conocidos los consideran “muertos”. Su
súplica de “Jesús, Maestro, ¡ten compasión de nosotros!” expresa su
deseo de ser liberados de esta horrible enfermedad. Sabemos por el
evangelio que Jesús les pide “Id y presentaos a los sacerdotes.” En el
camino se dan cuenta que algo milagroso ha ocurrido. Sin embargo,
algo muy extraño sucede. Todos han sido curados pero sólo uno
regresa para mostrar su agradecimiento. Según el evangelio este
hombre es un samaritano. Según la costumbre judía de esa época, los
judíos tenían rechazaban a los samaritanos por ser extranjeros y
herejes. Y es este el hombre que rechazaron que muestra verdadero
agradecimiento y humildad.
Gratitude and humility are two virtues that remind us of our
dependence upon God and others for our well-being.
No human
being is so independent or self-sufficient that they don’t need
another’s help from time-to-time. Every human being is unique and
precious in the eyes of God and everyone is given talents to build up
creation, not apart from, but a part of the rest of creation. An old
saying goes, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is
your gift to God!”
El agradecimiento y la humildad son dos virtudes que nos hacen
reconocer que nuestro bienestar depende de Dios y de nuestro
prójimo.
Ningún ser humano es tan independiente ni tan
autosuficiente que no necesite la ayuda de otro de vez en cuando.
Todo ser humano es único y valioso en los ojos de Dios y todos
tenemos talentos para edificar la creación no aparte de sino como
parte del resto de la creación. Según un dicho antiguo “Lo que tú eres
es el regalo de Dios para ti. Lo que tú te haces es el regalo de ti para
Dios.” Yo estoy tan agradecido a ustedes y le agradezco tanto a Dios
por ustedes. Me siento tan dichoso de ser su Párroco. Estoy tan
agradecido de poder vivir con cuatro frailes tan maravillosos, Sam,
Germain, Richard y Gabriel. Siento humildad ante la gentileza y
bondad que ustedes tienen. Estas a su vez me ayudan en mi camino de
agradecimiento y humildad. Uno de nuestros estudiantes de formación
en la fe me dijeron recientemente, “Padre, estamos juntos en todo
esto.” ¡En verdad, la sabiduría viene de la boca de los niños y los
bebecitos!
I am so grateful and thankful to almighty God for all of you! I am so
blessed to be your Pastor. I am so thankful to live with four other
wonderful friars, Sam, Germain, Richard and Gabriel. I am humbled
by your kindness and goodness. These in turn help me on my journey
of gratitude and humility.
One of our faith-formation students said to me recently, “Father,
we’re all in this together.” Talk about wisdom coming from the
mouths of children and babes!
Brothers and sisters, while we have time, let us do good! ~ Fr. Dan
