Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed. — Hebrews 12:12-13 ************************************************************************ Jubilee Year of Mercy This Jubilee Year of Mercy and Pope Francis’ ministry have renewed our understanding that the Church’s heart is open wide to all, and the heart of the gospel is God’s mercy. Flooded with God’s mercy, our hearts should overflow as channels bringing to wounded and weary hearts Jesus’ healing mercy. For Jesus warns, our own salvation is not guaranteed by the Liturgy of the Word (“you taught in our streets”) nor by the Eucharist (“we ate and drank in your company”) (Luke 13:26). People far from that banquet, “from the east and the west and from the north and the south . . . will recline at table in the kingdom of God” (13:29). Rather, showing mercy is key to obtaining mercy ourselves (Matthew 5:7). So we should never dare ask what “someone” asked Jesus, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” (Luke 13:23). The crucial question is “Will I be saved?” And Jesus’ answer is another question: “Have you shown mercy to everyone, freely, gladly, no limits, no conditions, no exceptions?” *********************************************************************** READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: in 2 Thes 1:1-5, 11-12; Ps 96:1-5; Mt 23:13-22 Tuesday: 2 Thes 2:1-3a, 14-17; Ps 96:10-13; Mt 23:23-26 Wednesday: Rv 21:9b-14; Ps 145:10-13, 17-18; Jn 1:45-51 Thursday: 1 Cor 1:1-9; Ps 145:2-7; Mt 24:42-51 Friday: 1 Cor 1:17-25; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 10-11; Mt 25:1-13 Saturday: 1 Cor 1:26-31; Ps 33:12-13, 18-21; Mt 25:14-30 Sunday: Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29; Ps 68:4-7, 10-11; Heb 12:18-19, 22-24a; Lk 14:1, 7-14 ************************************************************************ S[n]tu[ry L[mp for the week of August F PRAYER INTENTIONS T S H James Murphy, Vivian Ramirez, Marilyn Albani, Chiara Cumella, Jane Vassil, Chris Giambrone, Salvatore Ranieri, Bernard Pietramonaco,Bishop Octavio Cisneros Those Who Have Entered into Eternal Life Giuseppe Gimigliano, Michelina Curatolo, Angelina Corrado, Giusy Bandello, Col.

Inundados con la misericordia de Dios, nuestros corazones deben desbordarse como arroyos llevando a las personas cansadas y heridas la misericordia consoladora de Jesús. Ya que Jesús señala que nuestra salvación no está garantizada por la Liturgia de la Palabra (“tú has enseñado en nuestras plazas”) ni por la Eucaristía (“Hemos comido y bebido contigo”) (Lucas 13:26). Habrá personas lejos de ese banquete “del oriente y del poniente, del norte y del sur . . . participarán en el banquete del Reino de Dios” (13:29). Por el contrario, mostrar misericordia es la clave para obtener misericordia nosotros mismos (Mateo 5:7). Para que nunca debamos atrevernos a preguntar lo que “alguien” le preguntó a Jesús: “Señor, ¿es verdad que son pocos los que se salvan?” (Lucas 13:23). La pregunta debiera ser: “¿Yo me salvaré?” Y la respuesta de Jesús sería otra pregunta: “¿Has sido misericordioso con tu prójimo, de manera libre, con alegría, sin límites, sin condiciones, sin excepciones?” *************************************************************** EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy familiar por el refrán “Señor, date prisa en socorrerme”. La historia de Jeremías hoy y el refrán “¡Señor, date prisa en socorrerme!” nos recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos para seguir el llamado de Dios. El autor de la Carta a los Hebreos también lo sabía. Él recordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos agobien desgracias y pecados, podemos todavía perseverar si mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, quien también conoció la vergüenza y el dolor de la cruz, pero vio más allá del sufrimiento, el gozo de sentarse a la derecha del trono de Dios. Jesús mismo dio a sus discípulos una “idea” de un bautismo que no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que inauguró su ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las palabras de la Sagrada Escritura hoy pueden no ser terriblemente apaciguadoras, pero en su honestidad y fortaleza podemos reconocer las dificultades que el discípulo enfrenta a diario, y consolarnos por la seguridad de nuestra salvación en Cristo. *************************************************************** TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El otro día leí un artículo escrito por un pastor bautista sobre la necesidad de tener un altar en casa para educar a nuestros hijos en la fe y la oración. Lo leí con interés ya que el uso del altarcito tiene una larga historia en la Iglesia católica. En casa de mis abuelos paternos, en México, había un bello altarcito en forma de pirámide que contenía flores, velas y figuras de Jesús, María y algunos santos. Además de esto estaban también algunos instrumentos de oración como el rosario, la Biblia y algún otro libro de oración. También en casa de mi abuela materna, en Texas, había un rinconcito sagrado. Muchos latinos tenemos altarcitos familiares. Algunos son verdaderos altares como el de mi abuela, Mamá Lilia. Otros son rincones especiales como el de Mamá María, con alguna imagen y libro de oración y fotografías de nuestros parientes. A fin de cuentas no importa ni su tamaño ni su forma. Importa su existencia y sobre todo su uso para recordarnos de la presencia e importancia de Dios en nuestros hogares y familias.
