in Ordinary Time
October 18, 2015
Through his suffering,
my servant shall justify many.
— Isaiah 53:11b
GOD’S WORK OF SALVATION
God’s work of salvation is the focus of this weekend’s readings. From the
prophetic event of Isaiah to Jesus’ understanding of the human condition in Hebrews,
concluding with Jesus paying our ransom in Mark, God is in control. There may be
failings and misunderstandings along the way. We may move away from God, but at
our conversion, God leads us back. Like James and John, we may let greed and power
blur our vision of what Jesus wants us to know about the Kingdom; but tirelessly we
are taught and re-taught what life in the Kingdom will be. Jesus has paid our ransom to ensure that we will share in the
Kingdom.
It is not unusual to think of Jesus’ ransom as a punishment that he endured. However, it is more accurate, and
more like Jesus, for us to recognize ransom as God’s gift to us.

Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Last Thursday (October 15) was the feast day of St. Teresa of
Avila, our parish patron. She was a mystic and a Spanish Carmelite
nun. A Carmelite friend of mine once said to me when she was still
alive, “I’ve already got calluses on my knees praying for you every day.”
More so now that she is closer to God. The Carmelites pray for priests
daily so having the Priests’ Convocation on the same week they
celebrate the feast day of one of their own, let alone our patron saint
made me all the more inspired to write this article. And so for this
weekend, I’d like to reflect on one of St. Teresa’s quotations. She said,
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes
through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do
good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are
the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
The good that we do keeps the memory of Christ alive and make God manifest in a world
that is slowly losing the sense of the sacred. It’s been over 2000 years since Jesus left, in the
physical sense, that is. But through us, his physical presence can never be lost in the world. The
work that we do is simply a continuation of the work that he began and to think that that work had
endured and prospered for thousands of generations can only give us more hope and assurance
that Christ continues to be present among and in us. The works of charity, the forgiveness and
mercy we bestow upon each other and others, the truth we proclaim, the love and faith we profess
all of which further reflect Christ’s living presence in the world. All the saints, martyrs and even
those whose faith is known to God alone had been in some ways Christ’s hands and feet, eyes and
ears, body and spirit. And so are we today and our children will be tomorrow.
Our parish has been named after St. Teresa, but it isn’t simply a name of the church we are
affiliated with or a member of. More than anything, it is a homage to a person who dedicated her
whole life making Christ not only present but relevant at the time when the church was in turmoil,
when schism was at its peak. If not for all the men and women who rose to the occasion, Christ’s
presence would have long been diminished, if not totally eradicated. Their faith, courage and
commitment have made Christ being physically present himself. That special mission is entrusted
to us today and to make sure it continues for future generations; a work that is none other than
perpetuate the memory of a man and a God who gave up his life so that we all might live and have
eternal life.
Sincerely,
Father Roland

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
18 de octubre de 2015
Con sus sufrimientos justificará
mi siervo a muchos.
— Isaías 53:11b
LA OBRA DIVINA DE SALVACIÓN
La obra de Dios de la salvación es el enfoque de las lecturas este fin de
semana. Desde el acontecer profético de Isaías hasta la visión de Jesús sobre la
condición humana en Hebreos, y terminando con el rescate que paga Jesús por nosotros en san Marcos,
Dios está al mando. Puede que ocurran caídas e incomprensiones por el camino. Puede que nos alejemos
de Dios, pero Dios nos trae de vuelta a su lado mediante la conversión. Al igual que Santiago y Juan, a
veces dejamos que la avaricia y el poder empañen nuestra visión de lo que Jesús nos quiere enseñar
sobre el Reino; pero sin tregua nos enseña y nos repite cómo ha de ser la vida en el Reino. Jesús ha
pagado por nuestro rescate para garantizar que compartamos el Reino con él.
No es raro que pensemos sobre el rescate que pagó Jesús en términos de un castigo que tuvo que
sufrir. Sin embargo, es más acertado y más como Jesús, reconocer que el rescate es un regalo de Dios
para nosotros.
