Matthew, the son of Alpheus (Mark 2:14) was a
Galilean, although Eusebius informs us that he
was a Syrian. As tax-gatherer at Capharnaum,
he collected custom duties for Herod Antipas,
and, although a Jew, was despised by the
Pharisees, who hated all publicans. When
summoned by Jesus, Matthew arose and
followed Him and tendered Him a feast in his
house, where tax-gatherers and sinners sat at
table with Christ and His disciples. This drew
forth a protest from the Pharisees whom Jesus
rebuked in these consoling words: "I came not
to call the just, but sinners".
The Gospel tells us “The person who is trustworthy
in very small matters is also
trustworthy in great ones”.
God has entrusted your spouse
to your care – are you trustworthy in that care? The last

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS
The Second Vatican Council has called us to envision the
Church as the people of God. As a community of believers we
are responsible for our brothers and sisters, their salvation,
their journey of faith, their physical well-being. Many of the
documents of Vatican II and volumes of work since the
mid-1960s give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to
take care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the
broken, the infirm.
Because Vatican II is part of our recent history—indeed
many of us were already born—this may strike us as a new
and revolutionary idea. But today’s readings show us the
agelessness of the issue of social justice. Eight hundred years
before Christ was born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat
the poor. In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all
prayers to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel urges the
wise use of money. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
September 18, 2016
Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mercy is one thing, malpractice quite another.
Why, then, does the defrauded master in Jesus’
parable praise the devious steward? Jesus shows
by example how to sanctify material goods: by
placing all our resources, indeed our very selves, at
the service of others. No matter how costly such
service, or how minimal the return, such charity is
the wisest investment, yielding a reward that is
literally out of this world. For Amos and Jesus,
authentic worship of God demands practical charity
toward our neighbor. Paul, too, declares that the
only worship acceptable to God is offered by a
community rich in charity. Liturgy must be matched
to life, “lifting up holy hands, without anger or
argument” (1 Timothy 2:8). This Jubilee Year of
Mercy challenges us to live as “children of light,” as
devoted to self-sacrificing service as “the children of
this world” (Luke 16:8) are to serving themselves, as
enthusiastic for God’s kingdom of justice as we are
about less-enduring treasures.

SOMOS RESPONSABLES POR LOS DEMÁS
El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha llamado a imaginar la Iglesia
como el pueblo de Dios. Como una comunidad de creyentes
somos responsables por nuestros hermanos, por su salvación, su
peregrinar en la fe, su bienestar físico. Muchos de los
documentos del Concilio y volúmenes de trabajos desde
mediados de la década del 60 nos dan consejos, guías y ánimo
para ayudarnos unos a otros: a los pobres, a los ancianos, a los no
nacidos, a los quebrantados, a los enfermos.
Porque el Concilio Vaticano II es parte de nuestra reciente
historia –sin duda muchos de nosotros ya habíamos nacido– esto
nos puede parecer una idea nueva y revolucionaria. Pero las
lecturas de hoy nos muestran que las enseñanzas sobre justicia
social han existido siempre. Ochocientos años antes de nacer
Cristo, Amós advirtió a los ricos que no engañaran a los pobres.
En la primera carta de Pablo a Timoteo, él insiste en que todas las
oraciones sean por todos; y finalmente, el Evangelio enfatiza la
importancia de usar sabiamente el dinero.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
18 de septiembre de 2016
Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La misericordia es una cosa y la negligencia otra muy
diferente. ¿Por qué, entonces, el patrón robado en la
parábola de Jesús reconoce a su trabajador hábil en los
negocios? Jesús muestra con un ejemplo cómo santificar los
bienes materiales: poniendo todos nuestros recursos, aún
nosotros mismos, al servicio de nuestros prójimos. No
importa que tan costoso ese servicio, o lo poco que podamos
recibir a cambio, esa obra de caridad es la inversión más
inteligente, que ofrece una recompensa que literalmente está
más allá de este mundo. Para Amos y Jesús, la verdadera
adoración a Dios exige obras de caridad útiles hacia nuestro
prójimo. Pablo también expresa que la única adoración
aceptable a Dios es la que se ofrece por una comunidad rica
en caridad. La liturgia debe relacionarse con la vida
“levantando al cielo sus manos puras, libre de odios y
divisiones” (1 Timoteo 2:8). Este Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia nos desafía a vivir como “hijos de la luz” —
con dedicado servicio abnegado— tan entusiasmados por el
Reino de Dios de justicia pero menos por los tesoros
pasajeros; así como los “hijos de este mundo” se sirven a
ellos mismos (Lucas 16:8).

LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — El Señor nunca se olvida del pecado
de los que hacen trampa a los pobres y abusan de ellos
(Amós 8:4-7).
Salmo — Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos
(Salmo 113 [112]).
Segunda lectura — Reza al Señor, que quiere que todos
se salven (1 Timoteo 2:1-8).
Evangelio — Sé responsable en todo. No pueden ustedes
servir a Dios y al dinero (Lucas 16:1-13).
