this Sunday evening. If you didn’t get your donations in, they
can be dropped off at the Anderson Hotel.
Many thanks to Even O’Reilly and the Mission Youth Group

artisans take pride in sharing their unique art and culture. We have been
supporting their efforts for many years and many collectors are impressed

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
October 23, 2016
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
From time to time our children
live in a “me first world,” but Jesus
wasn’t too impressed with the
self-centeredness of the Pharisee in
today’s Gospel. The Pharisee was
quite certain that he was a good
and righteous man–better than
most. For sure, he was better than
the tax collector. But as Jesus often
did in his teachings, he turned
society’s ideas upside down. It
was really the humble tax collector
recognizing his own sinfulness that
Jesus said would be exalted.
Reflection question:
Adult: When have you felt self-
satisfied in observing the mistakes
of others? What should we
remember at such times?
Child: Have you ever thought you
were better than someone else? What
is the problem with such thoughts?

LA VOZ LATINA
Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
NO HACER COMPARACIONES
¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado
acerca de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso
despedido de su empleo, por un roce con la ley?
Mientras nuestras mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que
nos apiademos de esa persona y que roguemos por
ella, puede que una vocecita interior también esté
diciendo: “Me alegro de que yo nunca haría algo así”.
Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas cosas
que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas
de hoy nos advierten no mirar tan atentamente
a las maldades de otros que pasamos por alto
nuestras propias debilidades y defectos. Cuando
nos comparamos con las peores personas a nuestro
alrededor, salimos bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay un
peligro en usar la conducta ajena como medida para
reflejar nuestras propias virtudes.

ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
23 de octubre de 2016 . Trigésimo Domingo del
Tiempo Ordinario
El Evangelio de hoy nos favorece con una
oración hermosa que puede hacer de cada día
de nuestras vidas un jubileo de
misericordia: “¡Oh Dios!, ten compasión
de este pecador” (Lucas 18:13). Los
hombres religiosos israelitas (los fariseos)
despreciaban al publicano (cobrador
de impuestos) que estaba orando, lo
despreciaban por trabajar para los romanos y
que usaban una moneda que tenía grabada la
imagen del emperador “divino”. Pero el fariseo
arrogante se congratulaba, una mezcla de autocondenación,
pretendiendo hacer “oración” frases que no lo eran para
nada. “El fariseo . . . oraba así en su interior” (18:11, énfasis
añadido). En cambio la oración del cobrador de impuestos
era sencilla, sincera, corta, expresada claramente pidiendo la
misericordia y que reconocía nuestra propia pecaminosidad
y, “da la bienvenida” a pecadores tanto hermanos como
hermanas con quien nos podamos identificar, incluso
semejar, haciendo eco al famoso comentario del Papa
Francisco de no ser el que juzgue. Evidentemente el
cobrador de impuestos fue “a su casa justificado” (18:14), es
decir, restaurada la amistad de Dios, por que la misericordia
de Dios no es un premio al que se tiene derecho sino un don
otorgado. “Que tu oración sea corta: por que el cobrador de
impuestos, el hijo prodigo y el ladrón crucificado al lado
de Jesús, todos fueron reconciliados con Dios con una sola
frase” (San Juan Clímaco, siglo VII).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1823 se fundó el pueblo de San Rafael de las
Quebradillas en Puerto Rico. Este pueblo fue dedicado
al santo patrón de los pescadores. Rafael, también es el
ángel patrono de la salud. Aunque hoy día su fiesta esta
combinada con los otros arcángeles el 29 de septiembre,
en el viejo calendario este santo fue conmemorado el 24
de octubre.
Rafael (Dios salva) se encuentra en el libro de Tobías
y según el autor bíblico, este es el ángel de la guarda de
Tobías. El mismo Rafael se presenta como uno de los
siete ángeles o arcángeles que llevan las oraciones de
los justos al trono de Dios y que gozan de la presencia
gloriosa del Santísimo (Tobías 12:15).
Mi padre siempre dice que hay que pedir una cosa
a Dios, la salud. Si tenemos la salud nada nos falta. Es
interesante que en latín, salud y salvación son la misma
palabra, salus. El santo patrón de la salud, Rafael nos
recuerda que Dios es el único que nos puede salvar,
dándonos salud de cuerpo, alma y espíritu.
