LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES
The message found in today’s readings is an oft-told
story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas
are only a few of the familiar fictional characters who
thought enormous wealth could buy happiness and fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the printed
word and stardom for his young wife, while King Midas
conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his very touch.
We learn clearly in today’s readings that none of this
is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for
someone other than ourselves. It comes from the pursuit
of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith, love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and endurance.
The Gospel reminds us
that we dare not ignore
the needs of others, acting as though we don’t
notice their suffering.
God’s call to us is much
too clear to disregard for
even one more day.
26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NOSOTROS MISMOS
El mensaje de las lecturas de hoy es una vieja
historia. El Ciudadano Kane, Papi Warbucks y el Rey
Midas son sólo unos pocos de los familiares personajes
ficticios que pensaban que con una enorme fortuna podrían comprar la felicidad y la completa satisfacción. Papi
Warbucks admite haber pisoteado a algunas personas en
su ascenso a la cumbre. Kane trató de comprar la palabra
impresa y el estrellato para su joven esposa, mientras que
el Rey Midas conjura inmensa fortuna y tragedia sólo con
su toque.
Aprendemos claramente en las lecturas de hoy
que nada de esto es posible. Alcanzamos la verdadera
felicidad cuando nos interesamos en los
demás. Cuando practicamos las virtudes que
Dios describe a Timoteo: fe, amor,
mansedumbre, piedad, rectitud y justicia. El
Evangelio nos recuerda que no osemos ignorar las necesidades de los demás, actuando
como si no notáramos su sufrimiento. El
llamado de Dios a nosotros es demasiado
claro para ignorarlo ni un solo día más.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La última mitad del siglo pasado, nuestro continente
vio el derrame de muchísima sangre cristiana. No podemos olvidar la sangre de quienes dieron la vida por el
Evangelio de la justicia: Michel Quiroga evangelizador
colombiano; Agustina Rivas monjita peruana; Vicente
Matute líder indígena hondureño; Marlene Kegler una
universitaria de 23 años argentina. Estos son algunos
ejemplos de tantos que murieron creyendo que la doctrina
cristiana no se puede contener en templos y conventos.
Dieron la vida por querer vivir su fe en situaciones de
discriminación e injusticia. Derramando su sangre se convirtieron en ángeles de justicia que gritan a Dios uniendo
sus voces a la de Abel.
Todos estos mártires latinoamericanos murieron a
manos de latinoamericanos. Dieron sus vidas, según la
mártir chilena Joan Alsina, como granos de trigo. Y desde
el cielo ella nos pide: “Esperamos tu solidaridad.
¿Entiendes ahora lo que significa el Cuerpo de Cristo? Si
nosotros nos hundimos es algo de tu esperanza la que se
hunde. Pero si de las cenizas asumimos la vida de nuevo,
es algo que nace de nuevo en ustedes.”

Almighty God and Father, look with love upon our men and women in uniform and protect them in their time of
need. Give them health and stability and allow them to return to their loved ones whole and unshaken. Be with
their families and sustain them in these uncertain times. Hear us as we present our prayers to You through
Christ our Lord. Amen
Opportunities To Show Support For Life
A request has come from our Regional Bishop, Most Reverend Joseph Brennan, for participation in
40 DAYS FOR LIFE. Beginning on September 28th and lasting until November 6th, they are looking for volunteers to
give of their presence and time to pray for an hour or so outside of the Family Planning Associates in Mission Hills.
The coordinator of this event is Patti Flores. You can contact her at: (818) 307-4332 or at [email protected].
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
We’ve been thinking about names lately, and there is hardly any tradition older than changing one’s name when accepting a new vocation in life. In the time of Jesus, people would normally wait until the eighth day after birth for the
naming of a child, partly because of the fragility of infant life, when the eighth day would mark the end of a survival
crisis, and also because the elders would look for some clues as to the child’s identity. In Jewish life then as now, it was
not the custom to name a child after a living parent; notice there are no “juniors” in the genealogy of Jesus. Remember
also how the relatives complained to Zachary and Elizabeth that no one in their family was ever named John. Then there
are the changed names, Abram became Abraham, Sarai became Sarah, Saul became Paul, Simon became Peter. This
spills over into Western culture in many ways, such as British royalty taking new names at coronation. It’s anybody’s
guess, for example, whether the Prince of Wales intends to be King Charles II, or become Henry, or Edward, or George
if he wishes.
Members of religious orders have until recent years swapped baptismal
names for new ones, and the latest pope made a switch as well. Secular life
has many parallels, and movie stars like Cary Grant, Judy Garland, and John
Wayne might not have shone so brightly as Archie Leach, Frances Gumm,
and Marion Morrison. There are some compelling reasons in our tradition for
taking a new name when undertaking a new mission, yet also a clear preference for choosing the right baptismal name from the start!
