PATIENTLY AWAITING JUDGMENT Matthew, more than any other evangelist, talks about Jesus leaving and returning home. Often Jesus leaves the house because crowds have assembled outside and want to be taught. Today, after having taught and dismissed the crowds, his disciples follow him home, seeking further explanation of what seem to be, at least to us today, pretty straightforward parables. For both Matthew and Mark, when Jesus is in the house with his disciples it signals a special teaching moment, and it should cause us today to perk up our ears. Usually it is Jesus giving commonsense advice about what it will mean to follow him. Today is no different. To follow Jesus means to be ready to encounter the followers of evil, to have to live and work and preach among them. It means patiently awaiting the judgment that can only come from God, the judgment of justly deciding who will be thrown into the flame and who will live to be a brightly shining saint. Let us heed this house-teaching, for it will be the same for us who follow Jesus Christ today. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Charlemagne, crowned Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, 800, had a major interest in shaping the worship life of the church, and began a long period of reform and regulation. We owe many confirmation policies and practices to his rule. A baptized person was required to be confirmed as soon as the bishop’s presence made it possible. Priests were expected to do their best in seeing to it that a newly-baptized child received the Eucharist. One twelfth-century ritual insists that if the child is not yet capable of eating or drinking, then the priest might give him or her some of the Precious Blood on a leaf or a finger. Despite the best efforts of the Empire to hold liturgical life together, the rules were not always lived out with great beauty. St. Richard of Chichester of thirteenthcentury England, for example, was canonized for his holy life as a bishop. One of the remarkable signs of his sanctity was his willingness to climb down from his horse to confirm “merely baptized” layfolk who crossed his path! This praiseworthy practice points a finger of blame at less zealous bishops, whose casual attitudes revealed a sacrament in need of rescue. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an umbrella term for the safe, natural and effective methods of both achieving and avoiding pregnancy. NFP methods teach couples how to observe and interpret the woman’s signs of fertility and infertility. In the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, NFP methods “respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them and favor the education of an authentic freedom.” (CCC, no. 2370) The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week are: July 20 – 26th, 2014. These dates highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, marriage, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother. Local NFP classes are offered at LifeChoices Women’s Care, 1527 Dale Mabry Hwy., Suite 101, Lutz by Linda Holt, RN, FCP. Call her directly at (813) 493-1330.

Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 20 de julio de 2014 Que el justo sea humano. — Sabiduría 12:19
Domingo 20 de Julio. Domingo 16 del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Cuando nos miramos a nosotros mismos, cada uno advierte la mezcla de cosas buenas y malas que existen en su vida. ¡Cuántos aspectos positivos! ¡Y cuántos que no están tan bien! El Evangelio nos explica esta realidad, diciéndonos que el ser humano es un campo donde siembran Dios y el Diablo. Y lo que descubrimos en nosotros mismos es lo que sucede en todo lo que compone la realidad en la que nos movemos. Instituciones, organismos, colectivos, la misma Iglesia, son portadores y promotores de bondad, y, a la vez, están cargados de limitaciones y defectos. Estamos hechos para lo bueno, pero somos muy pequeños y no lo alcanzamos tan fácilmente. Lo importante es que esta situación nos duela y no nos deje indiferentes. En el Evangelio, aquellos que descubren la cizaña en medio del trigo pretenden eliminarla inmediatamente. No acostumbrarse a convivir con el mal, es una buena actitud. Habrá que hacerlo con calma y paciencia: las cosas no se consiguen de la noche a la mañana. Pero es necesario vivir en la inconformidad por aquello que no se consigue, así podremos ser mejores de lo que somos, sin creer que todo está conseguido con un esfuerzo estricto o con una dosis suficiente de buena voluntad. Continuamente hemos de estar alerta para evitar que se introduzca en nosotros la cizaña, que puede ahogar el trigo de nuestra fe, de nuestra esperanza y de nuestras buenas obras. A este respecto, es necesaria otra consideración. A todos nos gusta que los demás comprendan nuestras limitaciones, las disculpen y nos ayuden a superarlas. Y, sin embargo, cuántas veces nosotros no mostramos la misma comprensión para con las limitaciones de los demás. Y somos duros, intransigentes, tajantes, excluyentes. ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué lo nuestro es limitación y lo de los demás es mala voluntad? Todo lo compuesto por seres humanos arrastra la carga de la limitación. De la misma Iglesia se dice que es, a la vez, santa y pecadora. Ahí está la mezcla de lo bueno y de lo no alcanzado. Sepamos reconocer nuestras limitaciones, luchemos por superarlas con la ayuda del Señor. Comprendamos las limitaciones ajenas. Y, en la medida de lo posible, más que escandalizarnos o echar en cara, colaboremos para que las cosas cambien y mejoren. Que el Señor nos bendiga para que sepamos asumir nuestras propias limitaciones y las de nuestros hermanos, así como Él nos acepta a todos. P. Jairo

Para reflexionar Jesús nos hace dos llamadas La parábola del trigo y la cizaña nos viene a explicar la actitud que guiaba toda la vida de Jesús. Es una llamada para todos sus seguidores, una llamada para todos nosotros. En primer lugar, Jesús nos invita a no ir por el mundo dictaminando quiénes son los buenos y quiénes los malos. Es cierto que hay actuaciones que son claramente malas. Pero también es cierto que tenemos demasiado a menudo la tentación de creer que es bueno el que actúa o piensa como nosotros, y que es malo el que actúa o piensa distinto. Y, en cambio, la actitud de Jesús es siempre esperar y desear que quien hace el mal pueda llegar a descubrir el camino del bien. Y en segundo lugar, Jesús nos invita a vigilar para no ser nosotros cizaña que estropee el campo de Dios. Porque en nosotros hay también de todo. Y por eso, porque en nosotros hay de todo, podemos ser cizaña en lugar de trigo. La parábola que Jesús nos ha dirigido nos invita a mantenernos en actitud de vigilancia. Cuando al hablar yo denuncie la paja, y veas que en mi ojo está la viga, dímelo.
CONVOCACIÓN AL TALENTO DE NUESTRA PARROQUIA Sabor Latino 2014 Si tienes algún talento artístico en el área musical y hasta como poeta, TE NECESITAMOS.
