GOD’S WAYS
Paul Hunter Parish Business Administrator iccphunter@tampabay.rr.com
If we itemized the top eight things that bring us happiness, what items might show up on the list? A hefty bank account? A Caribbean cruise or African safari? A shopping mall marathon? Season tickets for the hometown team? A new car? If we already have some of these things, most likely we know they don’t bring us true happiness. Fact is, they probably bring us more aggravation—items to return or repair, one more object for people to argue over. Today’s scriptures point us toward the things that bring us true joy. The words of all three passages conflict with our society’s conviction that fortune, fame, and power are the sought-after treasures of life. God’s ways are not the ways of our popular culture, after all, and today’s readings help point us in the right direction. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

NUESTRA CULTURA Es posible que aún dure una percepción del pueblo hispano como un pueblo pobre y a veces de segunda clase. Es posible que ese concepto se haya internalizado entre muchos. Pero cada vez más se escuchan voces proféticas que dicen que estamos en el momento hispano. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2011 Page 9

LOS CAMINOS DE DIOS Si listáramos las ocho cosas principales que nos traen felicidad, ¿qué pondríamos en la lista? ¿Una abultada cuenta en el banco?, ¿un crucero por el Caribe o un safari en el África?, ¿un maratón de compras en las tiendas?, ¿boletos de temporada para ver el equipo local?, ¿un automóvil nuevo? Si ya poseemos algunas de estas cosas, casi seguro ya sabemos que no nos traen verdadera felicidad. El hecho es que probablemente nos traen más engorros, pues hay cosas que devolver o reparar, un objeto más que sea motivo de pelea. Las lecturas de hoy apuntan a cosas que nos traen verdadera alegría. Las palabras de los tres pasajes son contrarias a las convicciones de nuestra sociedad de que la fortuna, la fama y el poder son los codiciados tesoros de esta vida. Los caminos de Dios no son los caminos de nuestra cultura popular, después de todo, las lecturas de hoy nos señalan el camino acertado.© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
