A message from Fr. Tony
LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most beloved imagery is contained in the passages from
First Corinthians that we have heard last week and this week: the many giŌs granted by the
one same Spirit and the many members making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages
from sacred scripture more accurately sum up how ChrisƟan vocaƟons work together.
Unlike some of Paul’s other wriƟngs, which are a product of the social and religious convenƟons of his Ɵme, these enable us to look at our own lives and the lives of those around us to
discern what giŌs, what vocaƟons the Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can likewise know the joys and sorrows of the other members of the Body and share in them for the
strengthening of the whole Body of Christ.

TODAY’S READINGS
LECTURAS DE HOY
First Reading — Ezra read from the book of the law of God to
the assembled people. They understood and accepted the
law (Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10).
Primera lectura — Esdras leyó el libro de la ley de Dios ante la
asamblea reunida. El pueblo entendió y aceptó la ley (Nehemías
8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10).
Psalm — Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life (Psalm 19).
Second Reading — As the body with its many parts is sƟll one
body, so it is with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-30 [12-14, 27]).
Gospel — While aƩending worship in the Nazarean synagogue, Jesus reads from the prophet Isaiah and declares himself to be the fulfillment of the prophecy (Luke 1:1-4; 4:1421).
Salmo — Tú Ɵenes, Señor, palabras de vida eterna (Salmo 19
[18]).
Segunda lectura — Del mismo modo que el cuerpo con sus muchas partes forma un solo cuerpo, así también Cristo (1 CorinƟos
12:12-30 [12-14, 27]).
Evangelio — Jesús, parƟcipando del culto en la sinagoga de Nazaret, leyó del profeta Isaías y declara que en su propia persona se
cumple la profecía (Lucas 1:1-4; 4:14-21).
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
LA VIDA DEL CUERPO DE CRISTO
Algunas de las imágenes más conocidas y queridas de san Pablo se encuentran en los pasajes de la primera
carta a los corinƟos que hemos escuchado la semana pasada y hoy: los muchos dones de un mismo Espíritu
y los muchos miembros que componen el Cuerpo de Cristo. Pocos pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura resumen
con mayor claridad cómo las vocaciones crisƟanas trabajan en colaboración.
A diferencia de otros escritos de san Pablo, producto de las convenciones sociales y religiosas de su época,
estos nos permiten mirar nuestra propia vida y la vida de los que están a nuestro alrededor para discernir los
dones, la vocación que el Espíritu Santo nos ha dado para el bien de todos. Así también podemos conocer las
alegrías y las penas de los otros miembros del Cuerpo y comparƟrlos para así fortalecer todo el Cuerpo de
Cristo.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring glad Ɵdings to the poor.
— Luke 4:18a
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
As Roman Catholics, our marriage pracƟces have their pedigree in ancient Rome. One of the major players in shaping our pracƟces
was the warfare involved in building an empire. Soldiers vanished and someƟmes never returned. Women began to manage their
lives and to make decisions. The old family values were replaced by patrioƟc ones, and religion was more aƩuned to the gore and
glory of baƩle, a religion of the state, not of the family. Weddings were sƟll family celebraƟons, but had a public face. The bride
wore a white toga and a red veil and walked to her new home. There, she and her husband joined their right hands and gave consent to each other, not relying on her father to give consent for her. Religion was opƟonal: a pagan priest might be invited or not,
and even without the ceremony, society agreed by common law that a year of living together equaled marriage consent. By the
same token, marriage by consent also meant divorce was on the same legal fooƟng, and did not require the courts or civil declaraƟons. This is the world-view the first ChrisƟans inherited, and it was up to them to determine what was good and to hold marriage
up to the light of the gospel.
