St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church
August 30, 2015 Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time There seem to be myriad ways to follow the covenant and to avoid it. One can turn a relationship with God into mere words. One can make up a set of rules and mistake them for God’s law. One can apply the law to everyone but oneself. One can split hairs or lead a double life. Today’s readings address all of these subterfuges. They issue an inescapable summons to be a people of integrity. They insist that we see to it that the inner and outer person be one. And the one person, our little selves, must be intimately linked to the Holy One, who is Lord and Father. DOING “What is bred in the bone will out in the flesh,” as the old saying has it. By and by the heart is worn on the sleeve. The deep self shows up. When the voice of Moses speaks of the covenant, we know he wants to reiterate the law to his people and to all who might hear or see this unique covenanted people. For they have a personal bond with God, and their actions show it. They are what they say—a people actively responsible for their relationships. And the second reading restates this. There is no wiggle room for a people redeemed in Christ. Religion is “to care for orphans and widows in their affliction” (James 1:27). Thus James instructs us to be in the world, even as we keep clear of its sinful ways. Jesus, too, replies to the idolatry he sees around him as the learned bow before their own rules and turn them into dogmas. He reminds us all that we must care for the faith-filled inner commitment that constitutes the heart of the covenant. The covenant is a heart-to-heart bond, after all. It is the deepest and most rewarding of bonds. Today’s Readings: Dt 4:1–2, 6–8; Ps 15:2–5; Jas 1:17–18, 21b–22, 27; Mk 7:1–8, 14–15, 21–23 30 de agosto de 2015 Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Parece haber miles de formas de cumplir con la alianza y de eludirla. Se puede convertir una relación con Dios en simples palabras. Se puede inventar un conjunto de reglas y confundirlas con la ley de Dios. Se puede aplicar la ley a todos menos a sí mismo. Uno puede concentrarse en cosas sin importancia o llevar una doble vida. Las lecturas de hoy se ocupan de todas estas excusas. Nos hacen una llamada ineludible a ser personas de integridad. Insisten en que nos ocupemos de que la persona interior y la exterior sean una. Y la única persona, nuestro pequeño ser, debe estar íntimamente ligado con el Santo, que es Señor y Padre. HACER “Lo que se lleva en la sangre no se puede negar”, dice un antiguo refrán. Con el corazón se muestran los sentimientos abiertamente. Se muestra la profundidad del ser. Cuando la voz de Moisés habla de la alianza, sabemos que quiere reiterar la ley a su pueblo y a todos los que quieran oír o ver a este pueblo único de la alianza. Porque tienen un lazo personal con Dios, y sus acciones lo demuestran. Son lo que dicen: un pueblo que se responsabiliza de sus relaciones. Y la segunda lectura reafirma esto. No hay escape para un pueblo redimido en Cristo. La religión es “visitar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus tribulaciones” (Santiago 1:27). Así Santiago nos ordena permanecer en el mundo, incluso mientras nos mantenemos alejados de sus pecados. Jesús también responde a la idolatría que ve a su alrededor cuando los eruditos se someten a sus propias reglas y las convierten en dogmas. Nos recuerda a todos nosotros que debemos ocuparnos del compromiso interior de fe que constituye el centro de la alianza. Después de todo, la alianza es un lazo de corazón a corazón. Es el lazo más profundo y más gratificante de todos. Lecturas de hoy: Dt 4:1–2, 6–8; Sal 15:2–5; Sant 1:17–18, 21b–22, 27; Mc 7:1–8, 14–15, 21–23 Copyright © 2015, J. S.

Without this active memory, the bonds of relationship and affection fray and fall apart. Communities dissolve as surely as neglected buildings do. After participating in events, celebrations, and even small rituals, we remark about how good it is to gather and remember. Today’s readings remind us of foundations laid deeper than the human will to relate. Today we hear about God’s will to relate to us—to be our God as we are called to be God’s own beloved people. Today in three readings and three ways we remember the covenant bonds that create us as a people and the obligation and responsibility that express the innermost attitude of soul. You are mine. I am yours. These are God’s words that created a people as surely as “Let there be light” created the sun and moon and all the stars. ********** REFLEJOS TRADICIÓN La tradición es la memoria humana a largo plazo, mantenida no en piedra sino en la interrelación humana. Sin esta memoria activa, los lazos de relaciones y de afecto se debilitan y se deshacen. Las comunidades se separan tan de seguro como caen los edificios abandonados. Después de participar en acontecimientos, celebraciones y hasta en pequeños ritos, comentamos lo bueno que es el reunirnos y recordar. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan aquellos fundamentos que van más hondo que la voluntad humana para relacionarse. Hoy escuchamos sobre la voluntad divina de relacionarse con nosotros —de ser nuestro Dios tal como nosotros somos llamados a ser el pueblo amado de Dios. Hoy recordamos en tres lecturas y de tres maneras los lazos de la alianza que nos establece como pueblo, y las obligaciones y responsabilidades que expresan lo más hondo del alma. Tú eres mío. Yo soy tuya. Estas son palabras de Dios que crearon a un pueblo, tan seguramente como “Hágase la luz” creó el sol y la luna y todas las estrellas.
