Él les contestó: 'No. No sea que al arrancar la cizaña, arranquen también el trigo. Dejen que crezcan juntos hasta el
tiempo de la cosecha y, cuando llegue la cosecha, diré a los
segadores: Arranquen primero la cizaña y átenla en gavillas para
quemarla; y luego almacenen el trigo en mi granero' ". - Mt 13, 2930

la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano.
"
He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot
the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until
harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,
"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but
gather the wheat into my barn." ' " - Mt 13:29-30

“Padre Bill”
“¿Puedes distinguir entre un santo y un
pecador?”
¿Puedes distinguir? Leyendo la vida de los Santos,
muchos de ellos tuvieron conversiones de una categoría a
la otra. Sacar la maleza de tu jardín = sí. Sacar la maleza
de nuestra parroquia, en su vecindario, en el Congreso o la
Casa Blanca, en otras partes del mundo = no. Eso
pertenece al Espíritu Santo de Dios.
San Agustín aplicó la parábola de este domingo a la Iglesia.
No hay duda, somos una “mezcla” …hay buenos y hay malos.
¿No sería mejor sin los de una fe mediana o los que se creen más
católicos que el Papa? Las apariencias puedan engañar.
¡Cuántas plantitas “buenas” han sido arrancados porque alguien
se equivocó, pensando que eran maleza!
Dios quiere que su Iglesia sea santa, pero el juzgan de almas
también pertenece a Él. San Pablo nos recuerda que es Dios
quien “conoce profundamente los corazones”. Esto es donde
debemos volver a la Primera Lectura del Libro de Sabiduría …
leerla de vez en cuando, y ponerla en el corazón .. “eres
misericordioso con todos … el justo debe ser humano”.
Pongamos atención a nuestro jardín, mantenerlo limpio y sano.
¿Y qué de nuestra Iglesia que contiene todo tipo de persona?
Pues, eso incluye a cada uno de nosotros, y seguimos creciendo,
y en veces hemos sido trigo, y en veces maleza. ¡Que seamos
levadura, o una semilla de mostaza!

GENEROSIDAD
Las sobras están al final, no lo que recibieron la gente
después que Jesús comió con sus discípulos. Sobreabundancia es
efecto de generosidad, no su instrumento. ¿Necesitas tiempo
para reflexionar sobre eso? Quiere decir que generosidad no
depende en que tienes mucho. No es generoso dar de lo que
sobra. Si das de escasez, milagrosamente el efecto es siempre
sobreabundancia. ¿Qué merito o virtud hay en dar de lo que
sobra? ¿Cuántas veces nos preocupamos de que habrá suficiente
comida para tanta gente? ….y, al final siempre hay sobras. Y
esto es lo que celebramos en la Eucaristía: la abundancia de vida
que recibimos en el Cuerpo de Cristo, la Eucaristía, es el
resultado de la generosidad de entrega total de Jesucristo.
Con lo que tienes es suficiente …generosidad lo va a
multiplicar y dar vida. Puede comenzar con compasión,
compañía, una sonrisa, palabras de aliento, dar de tu tiempo,
escuchar al otro. Este pan siempre se multiplica en vida.
** ¿Cómo comparto mi tiempo, talentos, o cosas?
“Can you tell a saint from a sinner?”
Can you tell the difference? Reading the lives of the
Saints, a number of them moved from one category to
the other. Pulling weeds in our own garden = yes.
Pulling weeds in our parish, in our neighborhood, in
Congress or the White House, in other parts of the
world = no. That task belongs to God’s Spirit.
Saint Augustine applied this Sunday’s parable to
the church. We are certainly a “mixed bag” …there is good
and evil here too. Wouldn’t it be better off without the halfhearted and those who believe they are “more Catholic than
the Pope”? Appearances can be deceiving. A quite a few
“good plants” were pulled because someone thought that they
were ‘weeds’.
God wants the church to be holy, but the judgment of
souls also belongs to Him. As St. Paul reminds us, God is
“the one who searches hearts”. This is where we also return
to the First Reading from the Book of Wisdom …we might
all do well to return to this reading, and take it to heart…
“..your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.” “…
those who are just must be kind.” Let’s all work on our own
gardens, keeping them clean and healthy; and our Church that
is a “mixed-bag?” …that includes us, and we are still growing, and we have also been wheat and weeds at different
times. Let’s try and be yeast, or a mustard seed!

GENEROSITY
The leftovers are at the end, it’s not what the people got after
Jesus and disciples ate. Overabundance is the effect of generosity, not its instrument. Do you need time to think about that last
sentence? It’s saying that generosity does not rely on having a
lot to give. It is not so generous to give when you have excess.
You can give from scarcity and amazingly and miraculously, the
effect is always overabundance. What merit or virtue is there in
giving from what is left over? How many times have we wondered if there will be enough food to feed all the folks who have
come to the table, and in the end there are always leftovers.
And, this is what we celebrate in the Eucharist: the abundance
of life that we receive in the Eucharist, the Body of Christ, is the
result of the generosity of the total surrender of Christ.
What you begin with is sufficient … generosity will multiply
it and give it life. It can begin with compassion, your company, a
smile, courage, a word of encouragement, giving time, and listening to others. This bread always multiplies in life.
** How do I share the time, talents, or what I have?
