he Good News is that we have all been invited—
invited to the Kingdom, invited to be disciples. It’s
a life-changing invitation, and like so many other such
invitations, it requires a great deal of deliberation and
discernment. Whether we choose marriage, ordination,
single life, or community life, we know the serious
planning and consideration that accompany these
profound decisions. Like the tower-builder in the
Gospel, we have weighed both the monetary and
emotional cost. We have pondered and planned our
lives in the direction to which we believe God has
called us. And while we pray for guidance and
acceptance of God’s will, we often fail to understand so
much. Like Solomon, we turn to God for wisdom and
counsel in our life-changing decisions.

Justice. Meaning. Community. Love. Security.
Essential Needs We All Share
n fellowship with other Atlanta congregations, you are invited to join one of two programs being offered by JustFaith
Ministries. JustFaith Ministries is a non-profit organization that offers programs and resources to help people in their
compassionate commitment to build a more just and peaceful world. Through prayers, readings, videos, dialogue and
community service, participants will create a vital community of faith from which to experience and practice the call of the
Gospel to help heal the world. Please consider joining one of two programs being offered.
JustFaith explor es many aspects of Catholic Social
Teaching, such as poverty, racism and immigration. We
together will come to see more deeply the faces and
lives of the people most affected by poverty and
injustice. Sessions begin Wednesday, September 21th
7:00 pm – 9:30 pm at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus.
This particular JustMatters program will concentrate on a
specific aspect of Catholic Social Teaching - the principles
of restorative justice. This program is most beneficial for
those who have completed the JustFaith program but is
open to all. Sessions begin Thursday, September 22nd
6:30 pm – 9:00 pm at Our Lady of Lourdes.

gnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, the nun known to the world as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, was born to Albanian parents in
what is now Macedonia in 1910. As a Sister of Loreto, she taught girls in her order’s mission schools in India for
twenty years. But in 1946, on a train journey in the mountains, she suddenly realized that God was calling her to something
more—to care for the poorest of the poor.
In the city of Calcutta, many homeless people lived and died on the street. One day Sister Teresa came across a half-dead
woman lying in front of a hospital. She stayed with the woman until she died. From that time on, she dedicated herself to
caring for the poorest of the poor in India. She founded the Nirmal Hriday (“Pure Heart”) Home for the Dying in a former
temple in Calcutta, where poor, homeless people were cared for and allowed to die with dignity when no one else would
have them. She also founded an orphanage and leprosy hospital.
Other young women, including some of her former students, soon joined her in her work with the sick, the poor, and the
forgotten of Calcutta’s slums. They formed a new worldwide order of nuns, the Missionaries of Charity. Like Mother
Teresa, they wear a plain white, blue-edged sari, the traditional dress of Indian women. They live a simple, prayerful life,
and take care of people all over the world wherever there is need.
Mother Teresa won several awards for her work, including the Nobel Peace Prize. She always used the money from such
prizes to found new homes and hospitals for poor people. She died in 1997 at the age of 87. Her life and work remind us
that happiness and holiness come from doing “something beautiful for God.” She was beatified in 2003, and will be
canonized on Sunday, September 4, 2016.

LECTURAS DE HOY
O
TRADICIONES DE
NUESTRA FE
Primera lectura — ¿Quién puede saber los caminos de
Dios a menos que Dios le dé sabiduría y le envíe el
Espíritu Santo de lo alto? (Sabiduría 9:13-18b)
Salmo — Tú eres, Señor, nuestro refugio
(Psalm 90 [89]).
Segunda lectura — Pablo pide a Filemón que acepte a
su esclavo Onésimo como hermano
Evangelio — Para ser discípulo de Jesús uno debe
cargar con su cruz (Lucas 14:25-33).
En 1976 un grupo de madres argentinas comenzó una
vigilia silenciosa en frente de las oficinas
gubernamentales en la Plaza de Mayo. Vestían de
negro, con un pañuelo blanco en la cabeza y protestaban
la desaparición de sus hijos. Poco a poco esta protesta
de madres se fue expandiendo a El Salvador y otros
países donde agentes del gobierno hacían desaparecer a
los que obraban por la justicia y el bienestar del pueblo.
En Latinoamérica la Virgen de los Dolores que
viste de negro y llora la muerte de su hijo quien estaba
en la flor de la vida se ha transformado en la Madre de
los Desaparecidos. Ella acompaña silenciosamente en la
protesta de tanta latina que ha perdido hijos, maridos y
hermanos a autoridades injustas o cobardes.
La vigilia de las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo
terminó en enero de 2006 cuando por fin se encontraron
con un gobierno que busca los desaparecidos con ellas.
Lamentablemente en muchos lugares las madres de los
desaparecidos todavía no pueden contar con las
autoridades civiles. Con ellas María se une en protesta
silenciosa.

INVITADO
La Buena Nueva es que todos hemos sido invitados
–invitados al Reino, invitados a ser discípulos. Es una
invitación que cambia nuestra vida y, como tantas otras
invitaciones, requiere mucha consideración y
discernimiento. Así escojamos el Matrimonio, el Orden
sagrado, la vida célibe o comunitaria, sabemos la seria
planificación y consideración que requieren estas
importantes decisiones. Como el constructor de la torre
en el Evangelio, hemos sopesado los costos tanto
monetarios como emocionales. Hemos reflexionado y
planificado nuestra vida en la dirección en la que
creemos Dios nos ha llamado. Y mientras oramos por
orientación y aceptación de la voluntad de Dios, con
frecuencia no comprendemos muchas cosas. Como
Salomón recurrimos a Dios para pedirle sabiduría y
consejo al tomar decisiones que cambiarán nuestra vida.

gnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, la monja conocida en el mundo como la Madre Teresa de Calcuta, nació en 1910 de padres
albaneses en aquella región conocida hoy como Macedonia. Como una de las Hermanas de Loreto, fue profesora y
enseñó a niñas en las escuelas de su comunidad religiosa en la India por veinte años. Pero en 1946, mientras viaja en tren
hacia las montañas, de pronto se dio cuenta que Dios la llamaba para algo más, servir a los más pobres de los pobres.
En la ciudad de Calcuta, muchas personas desamparadas vivían y morían en las calles. Un día la Hermana Teresa se
encontró con una mujer moribunda tendida enfrente de un hospital. Ella estuvo con la mujer hasta que esta murió. A partir
de entonces, se dedicó al cuidado de los más pobres de los pobres en la India. Ella fundó Nirmal Hriday (Corazón Puro),
una casa de asistencia para moribundos en lo que había sido un templo hindú, donde los pobres, desamparados fueron
atendidos y morían con dignidad cuando nadie más los cuidaba. Ella también fundó un orfanatorio y un leprosario.
Otras señoritas, incluyendo algunas de las que fueron sus estudiantes, pronto se le unieron y a su trabajo con los
enfermos, los pobres y aquellas personas olvidadas de los barrios de Calcuta. Ellas formaron una nueva comunidad
religiosa mundial de monjas, las Misioneras de la Caridad. Como la madre Teresa, ellas usan un sari, el vestido tradicional
hindú de las mujeres, que consiste en un vestido blanco, con franjas azules. Ellas viven una vida sencilla, vida de oración y
cuidan a personas de todo el mundo donde hay necesidad.
La madre Teresa recibió varios reconocimientos por su trabajo, incluyendo el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Ella siempre usó
el dinero de esos premios para fundar nuevas casas y hospitales para los pobres. Ella murió en 1997 a la edad de 87. Su
vida y trabajo nos recuerda que la felicidad y la santidad vienen al hacer “algo hermoso para Dios”. Ella fue beatificada en
2003 y será canonizada el domingo 4 de septiembre de 2016.
