NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 7, 2016
August 12
St. Jane Frances de
Chantal
(1562-1641)
Jane Frances was wife, mother, nun
and founder of a religious community.
Her mother died when Jane was 18
months old, and her father, head of
parliament at Dijon, France, became
the main influence on her education.
She developed into a woman of beauty
and refinement, lively and cheerful in
temperament. At 21 she married Baron
de Chantal, by whom she had six children, three of whom died
in infancy. At her castle she restored the custom of daily
Mass, and was seriously engaged in various charitable works.
Jane's husband was killed after seven years of marriage, and
she sank into deep dejection for four months at her family
home. Her father-in-law threatened to disinherit her children
if she did not return to his home. He was then 75, vain, fierce
and extravagant. Jane Frances managed to remain cheerful in
spite of him and his insolent housekeeper.
When she was 32, she met St. Francis de Sales who became
her spiritual director, softening some of the severities imposed by her former director. She wanted to become a nun
but he persuaded her to defer this decision. She took a vow to
remain unmarried and to obey her director.
After three years Francis told her of his plan to found an institute of women which would be a haven for those whose
health, age or other considerations barred them from entering
the already established communities. There would be no
cloister, and they would be free to undertake spiritual and
corporal works of mercy. They were primarily intended to
exemplify the virtues of Mary at the Visitation (hence their
name, the Visitation nuns): humility and meekness.
The usual opposition to women in active ministry arose and
Francis de Sales was obliged to make it a cloistered community following the Rule of St. Augustine. Francis wrote his famous Treatise on the Love of God for them. The congregation
(three women) began when Jane Frances was 45. She underwent great sufferings: Francis de Sales died; her son was
killed; a plague ravaged France; her daughter-in-law and sonin-law died. She encouraged the local authorities to make
great efforts for the victims of the plague and she put all her
convent’s resources at the disposal of the sick. During a part
of her religious life, she had to undergo great trials of the
spirit—interior anguish, darkness and spiritual dryness. She
died while on a visitation of convents of the community.
Comment:It may strike some as unusual that a saint should
be subject to spiritual dryness, darkness, interior anguish. We
tend to think that such things are the usual condition of
“ordinary” sinful people. Some of our lack of spiritual liveliness may indeed be our fault. But the life of faith is still one
that is lived in trust, and sometimes the darkness is so great
that trust is pressed to its limit.
Quote: St. Vincent de Paul said of Jane Frances: “She was
full of faith, yet all her life had been tormented by thoughts
against it. While apparently enjoying the peace and easiness
of mind of souls who have reached a high state of virtue, she
suffered such interior trials that she often told me her mind
was so filled with all sorts of temptations and abominations
that she had to strive not to look within herself...But for all
that suffering her face never lost its serenity, nor did she
once relax in the fidelity God asked of her. And so I regard her
as one of the holiest souls I have ever met on this earth
(Butler’s Lives of the Saints). American Catholic .org

Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries
News From The Streets…
Grace
By Lizette Treviño, co-worker
It had been over 5 years since I went out on a Saturday with
Breaking Bread. The desire was there. I had even thought of
asking Walt to read the words of Mother Teresa that he
reads when we have a new person in our group. Not because
I’m new, but perhaps because it’s been so long, and mostly to
hear those last few words: “This is Christ in distressing disguise”. These words came to life for me through a man named
Richard one Saturday many years ago. We found him with
half his body lying in the roadway. He couldn’t move. He said
he’d been there for hours with cars passing by and no one
stopping to help. He was grateful that we did. He didn’t want
us to call an ambulance. He just wanted to get his legs off the
street. He was suffering and in pain. Someone had donated a
bed sheet, so we got it under him, and each of us grabbed a
corner and carried him up out of the road. He wanted to sit up
so we put him next to a concrete pillar. This man smelled of
urine, feces, sweat, and vomit. The stench and combination of
smells was putrid - horrendous. And yet in an instant a fresh
breeze swept in and all the odors disappeared. But as I
looked at the trees around us, I realized that there was no
breeze, all was still. In my confusion, I turned back to look at
Richard. His face was now radiant; there were no signs of dirt,
sweat or wrinkles. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever
seen, so beautiful that I had tears streaming down my face for
at least an hour after that. Even as I write this I have tears in
my eyes as well as any other time I think about that moment
when I caught a glimpse of Grace. In that moment I understood those words: “This is
Christ in distressing disguise.”

XIX DOMINGO ORDINARIO, CICLO C
7 DE AGOSTO DEL 2016
“DICHOSO EL PUEBLO QUE EL SEÑOR SE ESCOGIÓ COMO HEREDAD.”
TESORO EN EL CIELO
Lucas 12, 3248.- La vigilancia del hombre
sabio “No temas, pequeño
rebaño, porque
a vuestro Padre
le ha parecido
bien
daros
a vosotros el
Reino. “Vended
vuestros bienes
y dad limosna.
Haceos bolsas
que no se deterioran, un tesoro inagotable en
los cielos, donde no llega
el ladrón, ni la polilla; porque
donde esté vuestro tesoro, allí estará
también vuestro corazón. “Estén ceñidos vuestros lomos y las lámparas encendidas, y sed como hombres que
esperan a que su señor vuelva de la boda, para que, en cuanto
llegue y llame, al instante le abran. Dichosos los siervos, que el
señor al venir encuentre despiertos: yo os aseguro que se ceñirá,
los hará ponerse a la mesa y, yendo de uno a otro, les servirá.
Que venga en la segunda vigilia o en la tercera, si los encuentra
así, ¡dichosos de ellos! Entendedlo bien: si el dueño de casa
supiese a qué hora iba a venir el ladrón, no dejaría que le horadasen su casa. También vosotros estad preparados, porque en el
momento que no penséis, vendrá el Hijo del hombre.” Dijo Pedro: “Señor, ¿dices esta parábola para nosotros o para todos?”
Respondió el Señor: “¿Quién es, pues, el administrador fiel y
prudente a quien el señor pondrá al frente de su servidumbre
para darles a su tiempo su ración conveniente? Dichoso aquel
siervo a quien su señor, al llegar, encuentre haciéndolo así. De
verdad os digo que le pondrá al frente de toda su hacienda. Pero
si aquel siervo se dice en su corazón: “Mi señor tarda en venir”,
y se pone a golpear a los criados y a las criadas, a comer y a
beber y a emborracharse, vendrá el señor de aquel siervo el día
que no espera y en el momento que no sabe, le separará y le
señalará su suerte entre los infieles. “Aquel siervo que, conociendo la voluntad de su señor, no ha preparado nada ni ha
obrado conforme a su voluntad, recibirá muchos azotes; el que
no la conoce y hace cosas dignas de azotes, recibirá pocos; a
quien se le dio mucho, se le reclamará mucho; y a quien se confió mucho, se le pedirá más.
Reflexión.- En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla a los suyos
sobre el uso de los bienes terrenos. Les propone acumular bienes espirituales y eternos, en lugar de cosas materiales y perecederas: “Haceos un tesoro inagotable en el cielo, adonde no se
acercan los ladrones ni roe la polilla. Porque donde está vuestro
tesoro, allí estará también vuestro corazón”.
Y el verdadero cristiano, el hombre nuevo debe ser un hombre
libre: libre de toda esclavitud interior, de toda atadura incontrolada a los bienes y riquezas terrenas.
La codicia es una de las muchas formas de nuestro egoísmo, el
que está muy metido dentro de nosotros mismos, y contra el
cual tenemos que luchar durante toda nuestra vida.
“Dad limosna; y haceos un tesoro en el cielo”, nos propone el
Evangelio.
El pobre, es decir, el hombre que busca tener un tesoro en el
cielo, se da cuenta de que depende totalmente de Dios. Tiene
una conciencia clara de su limitación humana. En el fondo, cada
hombre aún sin saberlo - es un pobre. Y la pobreza material es
el signo visible de esa pobreza mucho más profunda y universal: nuestra pobreza moral, nuestra fe miserable, nuestro amor
raquítico. Todos somos pobres ante Dios, con nuestra culpa,
nuestra miseria, nuestras deficiencias.
Pero no todos lo reconocen ante Él. Sólo aquel que conoce y
reconoce su debilidad y pequeñez ante Dios, pone toda su confianza en Él, espera todo de Él, busca su protección poderosa.
En esa actitud se vacía de sí mismo y se entrega filialmente al
Padre. Y porque está abierto y disponible para Dios, hay lugar
para el actuar divino.
“Donde está vuestro tesoro, allí estará también vuestro corazón”
¿Y dónde está mi tesoro? ¿Busco yo los bienes de este mundo o
busco las riquezas de Dios? ¿Dedico mi tiempo a los intereses
terrenos o los intereses de Dios? ¿Cuál es el sentido, la verdadera meta de mi vida?
El Padre José Kentenich, fundador del Movimiento de Schoenstatt solía decimos: El sentido de mi vida de cristiano es buscar a
Dios, volver a Dios, caminar hacia el Padre. No existe nada
puramente terreno que puede llenar y saciar nuestro corazón.
Nuestro anhelo es demasiado grande para este mundo. El cielo
es nuestro verdadero hogar. Todo lo demás es demasiado pequeño para nosotros. Nuestra hambre de felicidad sólo será saciada en Dios y junto a Él.
Queridos hermanos, el sentido de mi vida es y debe ser: ir, caminar hacia el Padre. Y cuando muera, la muerte significará
sólo una ganancia para mí. Caerán todas las barreras terrenales.
Me encontraré, definitivamente, con mi Dios y Creador. Estaré
con mi Padre para siempre, toda una eternidad.
¡Qué así sea! En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu
Santo. Amén.
