Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 21, 2016
Strengthen your drooping hands
and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet,
that what is lame may not be disjointed
but healed.
— Hebrews 12:12 13
DISCIPLINE
It is no accident that the words “disciple” and “discipline” are nearly identical. Their relationship in
Christian faith and life, however, has fallen somewhat out of favor in the past generation, as certain
prescribed Church rules and regulations have been reduced and relaxed. These rules were often referred to
as “disciplines.” We are mistaken, however, to think that it no longer takes discipline to follow Christ. The
Letter to the Hebrews assures us of that today. Our discipline is more like that of an athlete pursuing a
victory or a personal best, or a musician striving for a concert career or to master a new piece of music.
This discipline comes from desire, not from regulations. It was the desire to do the will of God that led Jesus
on the path to his cross. It is that same desire he encourages in us today: to strive to enter through the
narrow gate, to find ourselves in the kingdom with a surprising assortment of people who are there not
because of mere observation of rules, but out of a genuine desire to recline at the table of the heavenly
banquet.

LET’S LET THE FIRE OF JESUS
TRANSFORM OUT LIVES
History tells us that one of the
earliest discoveries of humankind is how to
make fire and use it to his advantages. This
ushered in the iron age when people began
making iron tools and implements which enabled them to gradually abandon their nomadic life and
settle down as farmers - the beginning of villages, towns and cities. In fact, fire can be useful or
destructive. It can be used in many situations like cooking our meals but also it can be very
dangerous to burn the kitchen along with the whole house.
In the Old Testament , fire is the symbol of the judgement of God on people who either lived
by His Word or not. Just as fire separates the dross from the gold, keeping the word of God
separates good people from bad people. In the gospel reading of this Sunday, Jesus makes use of
fire to tell us why He had come into the world : " I have come to set the earth on fire", Jesus
says! This is the fire of his love, the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Jesus is given to us freely,
those who choose to follow him through baptism. This is the fire planted within us to guide us, to
direct us, and to admonish us when we deviate from the path, a living flame which, throughout our
lives, purges us of that which may hold us back from unity and communion with God.
May the Lord Jesus Christ fill us with that fire of His love and may that fire consume us and
transform our lives that we may truly desire nothing more than life with Him, and that we may
always seek to please Him everyday of our life and do His will.

Vigésimo Primer Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
21 de agosto de 2016
Robustezcan sus manos cansadas
y sus rodillas vacilantes;
caminen por un camino plano,
para que el cojo ya no se tropiece,
sino más bien se alivie.
— Hebreos 12:12 13
DISCIPLINA
No es accidente que las palabras “discípulo” y “disciplina” sean casi idénticas. Su relación en la fe y la vida
cristianas, sin embargo, ha caído en desuso en la generación pasada debido a que ciertas reglas y regulaciones
prescritas en la fe cristiana se han reducido o relajado. Estas reglas con frecuencia eran llamadas “disciplinas”. Nos
equivocamos, sin embargo, si pensamos que ya no se necesita disciplina para seguir a Cristo. La Carta a los Hebreos
nos lo asegura hoy. Nuestra disciplina es como la de un atleta que persigue una victoria o quiere ser el mejor, o como la
de un músico que lucha por hacer carrera como concertista o por perfección en la ejecución de una nueva obra musical.
Esta disciplina se basa en el deseo, no en las reglas. Fue el deseo de hacer la voluntad de Dios lo que motivó a Jesús en
el camino hacia el calvario. Es ese mismo deseo el que él inspira en nosotros hoy: luchar por entrar por la puerta
angosta, para encontrarnos en el Reino con muchas personas que están allí no solamente por observar las reglas, sino
por un sincero deseo de reclinarse a la mesa del celestial banquete.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hay quienes quieren negar los derechos de los inmigrantes latinos que llegan a los Estados Unidos en
busca de una vida mejor. Esta injusticia es extraña ya que los hispanos llegamos al territorio
estadounidense en 1513, 73 años antes de la llegada de los primero anglosajones. Estos fueron Ponce de
León y compañeros quienes buscaban una mejor vida en la famosa fuente de la juventud. Eventualmente
los hispanos dejaron de buscar la ilusoria fuente y en 1565 en la fiesta de san Agustín (28 de Agosto),
Pedro Menéndez de Avilés fundó la primera ciudad en Florida.
Gracias a su santo patrón esta ciudad ha podido sobrevivir ataques de invasores británicos y piratas,
amenazas de huracanes y tempestades para convertirse en la ciudad más vieja de la Unión Americana.
¿Pero quien fue este santo? Agustín, fue un obispo africano, quien después de una vida desordenada se
convirtió en uno de los santos mas importantes de la iglesia, gracias a las oraciones continuas de su
madre santa Mónica. Nunca debemos menospreciar el poder de las oraciones de una madre por sus hijos.
