Amos 8:4-7; Psalm 113; 1 Timothy 2:1-8;
Luke 16:1-13
ustoms surrounding the naming of babies are
interesting, and over time the Church has tried to
offer some motherly advice to direct parents in this
necessary chore. The ritual book used for baptism from
the sixteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries advised
priests to guard against giving ridiculous or pagan
names to babies consigned to their ministry. In 1666 the
diocesan ritual of Bourges in France was even more
exacting, telling the priests to see to it that boys were
named after male saints, girls after female saints, and no
one got named after a festival. Yet, records from that
very diocese in later years shows a few babies named
“Toussaint” (after All Saints Day) along with other
creative expressions. In Spain, no one has ever hesitated
to name babies after festivals, especially girls after Our
Lady, and so there are names like Concepción,
Asunción, and of course Dolores (after Our Lady of
Sorrows). In Italy and Spain is it likely that a child will
receive the name of the saint of the day of its birth.
Today’s rites of initiation for adults and infants
urge the giving of a Christian name, and in the case of
an adult whose given name expresses a pagan or
unseemly idea (Baal and Whiskey come to mind), there
is a formal rite during the catechumenate for the giving
of a Christian name. In such a case, it would make sense
for the change to be registered with civil authorities as
well. For all Christians, the idea of having a heavenly
patron to pray to on life’s journey is reason enough to
pay attention to this treasure in our tradition.

he Second Vatican Council has called us to
envision the Church as the people of God. As a
community of believers we are responsible for our
brothers and sisters, their salvation, their journey of
faith, their physical well-being. Many of the documents
of Vatican II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s
give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take
care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn,
the broken, the infirm. Because Vatican II is part of our
recent history—indeed many of us were already born—
this may strike us as a new and revolutionary idea. But
today’s readings show us the agelessness of the issue of
social justice. Eight hundred years before Christ was
born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In
Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all prayers
to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel urges the
wise use of money.

acred Heart is a unique community that lives its faith through amazing outreach, parish life, and faith programs. Our
relatively small numbers (compared to large suburban parishes) belie the immense work that we do both for our parish
and for our community. You can make a difference by giving of your time and talents in whatever measure you can spare.
This week at the Ministry Fair you will have the opportunity to meet your fellow parishioners representing the Ministries
and Organizations of the parish. Learn about the needs and how you can contribute to meeting those needs — or ways you
can grow and meet other parishioners through participation. It’s never too late to make a difference.

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

injustice. Sessions begin Wednesday, September 21st

Jesus. To sign-up for JustFaith, visit http://goo.gl/

TRADICIONES DE
NUESTRA FE
E
l santo Peruano Fray Juan Macías fue dominico.
Este santo es reconocido como el amparo de los
pobres, patrón de los emigrantes y ladrón del
purgatorio. El concepto del purgatorio es un poco difícil
de entender. La Iglesia adoptó la creencia en la última
purificación de los elegidos (nombrado el Purgatorio)
en los siglos XV y XVI en los concilios de Florencia y
Trento. Ella se basa en las Escrituras que se refieren en
la purificación en el fuego (1 Corintios 3:15; 1 Pedro
1:7) y en la práctica de la oración por los difuntos como
aparece en 2 Macabeos 12:46 y Job 1:5. San Juan
Crisóstomo dijo: “Si los hijos de Job fueron purificados
por el sacrificio de su padre, ¿porqué vamos a dudar que
nuestras oraciones por los difuntos puedan hacerle
llegar alguna consolación a los que han muerto?
Ofrezcamos pues, nuestras oraciones por los difuntos.
Los que están en purgación necesitan nuestro apoyo en
la oración. Pidamos por ellos”.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.
Paluch Co.
SOMOS RESPONSABLES POR LOS DEMÁS
El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha llamado a imaginar
la Iglesia como el pueblo de Dios. Como una
comunidad de creyentes somos responsables por
nuestros hermanos, por su salvación, su peregrinar en la
fe, su bienestar físico. Muchos de los documentos del
Concilio y volúmenes de trabajos desde mediados de la
década del 60 nos dan consejos, guías y ánimo para
ayudarnos unos a otros: a los pobres, a los ancianos, a
los no nacidos, a los quebrantados, a los enfermos.
Porque el Concilio Vaticano II es parte de nuestra
reciente historia –sin duda muchos de nosotros ya
habíamos nacido– esto nos puede parecer una idea
nueva y revolucionaria. Pero las lecturas de hoy nos
muestran que las enseñanzas sobre justicia social han
existido siempre. Ochocientos años antes de nacer
Cristo, Amós advirtió a los ricos que no engañaran a los
pobres. En la primera carta de Pablo a Timoteo, él
insiste en que todas las oraciones sean por todos; y
finalmente, el Evangelio enfatiza la importancia de usar
sabiamente el dinero.
