A MESSAGE OF LOVE In the final verses of today’s Gospel reading Jesus says that when two or three are gathered in his name, “there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). So we understand that fraternal correction is always undertaken with Jesus present to us. Likewise, encouraging the good in others is not only the right thing for us to do, it is a necessity. The Lord tells the prophet Ezekiel that if he “does not speak out” to dissuade a person from evil, then he, too, will be held responsible. We live in a “do your own thing” age when moral objectivity is often ignored. Clearly when the message we share with others is one of love, our motives cannot ever be misinterpreted. As St. Paul writes, “Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Liturgical Bits & Bytes
SURRENDER The Mass is not simply a human creation. Although it certainly relies on human words and actions and meaning, the Mass has been given to us by the Lord. If the Mass is to be a means for us to encounter the divine presence, then we must do so on God’s terms, not ours. Thus, entering into the Mass requires a certain openness from us. It requires letting go of our preferences and desires. Often we must surrender our own expectations in order to fulfill God’s expectations of us. Surrender is never easy. It may be especially difficult in our society, which tends to see surrender as an act of weakness. In fact, it requires great strength of spirit and it may be the hardest thing each of us must do. Surrender to God is the basic requirement of the spiritual life. Perhaps as we see the priest raise his hands in prayer, it can be a signal to all of us that prayer is always and basically a surrender to the will of God.

On the first Sunday of Advent, some of the words of the Mass will be changing. In order to better understand these changes, please consider attending one of the following seminars: IN CHURCH Saturday, Sept. 3 from
9am - 10:30am

3 de septiembre ♦ San Gregorio Magno Es un de los más grandes doctores de la Iglesia universal. Nació en Roma y, después de ejercer un puesto político, dejó su cargo y se hizo monje a los 35 años. El Papa Pelagio II lo envió como delegado a Constantinopla y, a la muerte de éste, Gregorio fue elegido Papa. Envió misioneros a Inglaterra, reformó la liturgia (de ahí viene el nombre del canto gregoriano) y en sus homilías y escritos reflejó un profundo conocimiento de la Escritura. ¿Qué talentos estarías dispuesto a poner al servicio de la iglesia y de los demás?
PACIENCIA Si eres paciente es un momento de enojo, evitarás cien días de pesar. —Proverbio chino

UN MENSAJE DE AMOR En los versículos finales de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy Jesús dice que cuando dos o tres están reunidos en su nombre, “ahí estoy yo en medio de ellos” (Mateo 18:20). Así entendemos que siempre se aplica la corrección fraternal cuando hacemos presente a Jesús. De igual manera, alentar lo bueno en otros no sólo es actuar rectamente, sino que es una necesidad. El Señor dice al profeta Ezequiel que si él “no amonesta” al malvado para que se aparte del mal camino, entonces Dios le pedirá cuentas. Vivimos en la era en que “cada quien hace lo suyo” y se suele ignorar la objetividad moral. Claramente, cuando el mensaje que compartimos con otros es un mensaje de amor, nuestros motivos no pueden ser mal interpretados. Como escribe san Pablo: “Quien ama su prójimo no le causa daño a nadie, Así pues, cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar” (Romanos 13:10). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
NUESTRA CULTURA En muchas de nuestras parroquias conviven comunidades de diversos orígenes culturales y raciales y con frecuencia se presenta el desafío de disolver los temores y recelos ante la diferencia y buscar colaboración y el bien común como comunidad católica.
