Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time RECONCILIATION True reconciliation is emotional, dramatic, and cleansing. When two people meet heart to heart and work through old hurts, misunderstandings, and careless words, cleansing tears often flow and the encounter ends with an embrace that fills both with the warmth of a love too strong to fade. The readings this weekend assure us of this healthy release that comes with reconciliation. They give us the courage to reach out to someone with whom we need to reconcile ourselves, and give us the courage to ask for forgiveness from God, too. In the reading from Exodus, we see how God refuses again and again to give up on the Israelites. Even though they grow impatient with God and turn to false idols, God still calls them back. Luke’s Gospel assures us that God rejoices when we turn away from sin. Paul’s letter to Timothy encourages us, like Paul, to look back on our lives and recognize where God’s patient mercy has been shown to us. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Because Moses interceded, the LORD relented and did not punish the people (Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14). Psalm — I will rise and go to my father (Psalm 51). Second Reading — Paul expresses his gratitude for being appointed to the ministry (1 Timothy 1:12-17). Gospel — There is great rejoicing in heaven when a sinner repents (Luke 15:132 [1-10]). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 1 Cor 11:17-26, 33; Ps 40:7-10, 17; Lk 7:1-10 Tuesday: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a; Ps 100:1-5; Lk 7:11-17 Wednesday: Nm 21:4b-9; Ps 78:1bc-2, 34-38; Phil 2:6-11; Jn 3:13-17 Thursday: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Ps 118:1b-2, 16ab-17, 28; Jn 19:25-27 or Lk 7:36-50 Friday: 1 Cor 15:12-20; Ps 17:1bcd, 6-8b, 15; Lk 8:1-3 Saturday: 1 Cor 15:35-37, 42-49; Ps 56:10c-14; Lk 8:4-15 Sunday: Am 8:4-7; Ps 113:1-2, 4-8; 1 Tm 2:1-8; Lk 16:1-13 [10-13]

9/11 REMEMBERED Fifteen years ago, the continuing TV coverage of the imploding twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York was unbearable for me, as were accounts of the crashes and destruction in Washington and the hills of Pennsylvania. The immense devastation of human life was incomprehensible. Visiting the site in New York some five years later reopened searing wounds, and overwhelmed me with immense sadness. An incursion on our soil, carefully planned and executed by foreign elements, had shattered my cherished sense of security, and provoked a frightening sense of God’s absence. How could my Catholic faith tradition enable me to endure this tragedy? I knew that neither vengeance nor sweeping animosity was an option for me. You have left us crushed . . . covered us with darkness. We are bowed down to the ground (Psalm 44:20, 26). O LORD of hosts, restore us; Let your face shine upon us (Psalm 80:4). The Psalmist cries a lament, expressing the mourning of the Israelite people, the chosen of God, who had regarded themselves as untouchable and above reproach, now hurled into misery. The lament expresses a nation’s agony, dares to complain against their divine protector, may even own some complicity in the misery, and finally pleads with God for deliverance. In the midst of lamenting, the faith of Israel endured, as must ours. We are as vulnerable as they were to the violence and hatred that seem to encircle us. Our demand for a divine explanation goes unheeded. Yet we have learned of the self-sacrificing heroism of many, witnessing to the finest character of our nation and of our Christian heritage. Dying for one’s friends is a sacred theme in our story, epitomized in Jesus, our Savior, and extended through centuries in the grandest and noblest acts of men and women in all circumstances. In 2001 we came together as one nation under God, sharing the grief, the disillusionment, and the promise to rebuild. As today we lament our honored dead and wounded, shall we translate such agonizing emotion into a persistent pursuit of worldwide reconciliation and peace?—Rev. Andrew Nelson, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
RECORDAR EL 11 DE SEPTIEMBRE Hace quince años la cobertura continua que la televisión hizo del derrumbe de las torres gemelas del Centro Mundial de Comercio en Nueva York fue algo intolerable para mí, y de igual manera fueron los choques y destrucción en Washington y en las colinas de Pensilvania. La incontable destrucción de vidas humanas era incomprensible. Visitar el sitio en Nueva York casi cinco años después reabrió heridas dolorosas y una gran tristeza se apoderó de mí. Un ataque en nuestra tierra, cuidadosamente planeado y llevado a cabo por individuos extranjeros, destrozó el sentido halagador que tenía de seguridad, y me provocó una sensación horrible de ausencia de Dios. ¿Cómo podría mi fe católica ayudarme a sobrellevar esta tragedia? Yo sabía que ni la venganza ni el rencor eran opciones para mí. Pero nos aplastaste… y nos cubrió la sombra de la muerte. Nos arrastramos por el polvo. (Salmo 44:20, 26a) ¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restablécenos, haz brillar tu faz y sálvanos! (Salmo 80:4) El salmista grita un lamento que expresa luto por el pueblo israelita, el elegido de Dios, el cual se cree intocable y por encima del reproche, y que ahora está en la miseria. El lamento es la agonía de una nación que se atreve a quejarse en contra de su divino protector, quien puede ser en parte responsable de esa miseria, pero al final clama a Dios por su liberación. En medio de los lamentos, la fe de Israel sufrió, como le pasa a la nuestra. Somos tan vulnerables como lo fueron ellos a la violencia y al odio que parece rodearnos. Nuestra exigencia por una explicación de la divinidad caen en saco roto. Más aún, aprendimos del sacrificio altruista y heroico de muchos, dando testimonio de lo mejor de nuestra nación y herencia cristiana. Morir por los amigos de uno es el tema sagrado de nuestra historia personificada por Jesús, nuestro Salvador, y prolongada a través de los siglos en las acciones nobles y extraordinarias de hombres y mujeres en todas las circunstancias. En el 2001 nos unimos como una sola nación, compartiendo el dolor, la desilusión y la promesa de reconstruirnos. Así como hoy lloramos y honramos a los muertos y heridos, ¿debemos interpretar esta emoción dolorosa en una búsqueda perseverante de paz y reconciliación en el mundo? —Rev. Andrew Nelson, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario RECONCILIACIÓN La verdadera reconciliación es emocional, dramática y purificadora. Cuando dos personas se encuentran de corazón a corazón para reparar viejas heridas, malentendidos y palabras descuidadas, lágrimas purificadoras fluyen con frecuencia y el encuentro termina con un abrazo que llena a ambas con el calor de un amor demasiado fuerte para apagarse. Las lecturas esta semana nos aseguran que una saludable liberación acompaña la reconciliación. Ellas nos dan el valor de acercarnos a alguien con quien necesitemos reconciliarnos, y también nos dan valor para pedir perdón a Dios. En la lectura del Éxodo, vemos cómo Dios se niega una y otra vez a abandonar a los israelitas. Aunque ellos se impacientan con Dios y adoran falsos dioses, Dios todavía vuelve a llamarlos. El Evangelio de san Lucas nos asegura que Dios se regocija cuando nos apartamos del pecado. La carta de Pablo a Timoteo nos anima, como Pablo, a revisar nuestra vida y a reconocer las ocasiones en que Dios ha sido paciente y misericordioso con nosotros. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Cor 11:17-26, 33; Sal 40 (39):7-10, 17; Lc 7:1-10 Martes: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a; Sal 100 (99):1-5; Lc 7:11-17 Miércoles: Nm 21:4b-9; Sal 78 (77):1bc-2, 34-38; Fil 2:6-11; Jn 3:13-17 Jueves: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Sal 118 (117):1b-2, 16ab-17, 28; Jn 19:25-27 o Lc 7:36-50 Viernes: 1 Cor 15:12-20; Sal 17 (16):1bcd, 6-8b, 15; Lc 8:1-3 Sábado: 1 Cor 15:35-37, 42-49; Sal 56 (55):10c-14; Lc 8:4-15 Domingo: Am 8:4-7; Sal 113 (112):1-2, 4-8; 1 Tim 2:1-8; Lc 16:1-13 [10-13]
