TWENTY- FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Reflection for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayer to St. Monica
God treats you as sons. (Hebrews 12:7)
“Relationship.” The dictionary defines this word as “the way in
which two or m ore people talk to, behave toward, and deal with
each other.” Relationships can be form al, as in a business
relationship, or they can be personal and intim ate, as in a father’s
relationship with his children. W hile we often think of our
relationship with God in the first way, he wants it to be m ore like
the second.
Do you know that you are cherished by God? Do you know that
he enjoys spending tim e with you, showing you his love, and
providing for you? This is who God is; he loves treating you as his
child— so m uch so that he m akes it a point to try to teach you and
form you so that you can “grow up” to be just like him .
As with any other parent, part of God’s parenting involves
discipline. It only m akes sense that he would want to correct us
when we stray— he loves us too m uch to ignore us. So often,
when we think of discipline, we think of punishm ent and pain. But
God’s discipline is life-giving. It doesn’t cause sham e, it brings
hope. It brings the prom ise of greater peace and contentm ent
because it helps us becom e m ore of the person God has created
us to be.
How does our Father discipline us? He m ay prom pt us to ask a
friend for forgiveness. He m ay give us a conscience twinge when
we consider watching an inappropriate m ovie or wasting tim e
surfing the Internet. He m ay allow difficult circum stances that
cause us to look to him for grace instead of relying on our own
strength. He m ay also allow us to suffer the consequences of our
sin as a way of teaching us and form ing us. In all these ways, our
heavenly Father seeks to love us and teach us.
“Father, thank you for calling me your child. I don’t want anything
to come between us. Help me to accept your loving discipline.”

What's wrong with Assisted Suicide
Many citizens legitimately ask, “What’s wrong with
assisted suicide?” If this is purely a private matter,
then the only people who can be harmed are those
who request it. Assisted suicide is not purely a
private matter. It affects huge vulnerable populations
who will experience new pressures and financial
incentives to die. Fr. Spitzer will discuss why
assisted-suicide is a fundamental justice issue –
giving freedoms to one group that impose onerous
burdens to die on other groups – the vulnerable,
disabled, and the economically and socially
marginalized. Friday, Sept. 2, from 7-9 pm at the
John Paul II Pastoral Centre. To register, visit
www.rcav.org/assisted-suicide

Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el Evangelio
Aún se sigue atestiguando con el martirio, como lo hizo
recientemente el Padre Jacques Hamel. En el boletín del 7
de Agosto se nos comenta sobre otros casos de testimonio
extremo; Arzobispo Oscar Romero S. J., en 1980 en el
Salvador y San Thomas Becket en Inglaterra en 1170. Se
pone en nuestro conocimiento que ellos vivieron en carne
propia las palabras proclamadas en la Consagración e
instituidas por Cristo; `` éste es mi cuerpo ´´ y `` ésta es mi
sangre ´´. El martirio es parte de la Sagrada Misión del
Sacerdote.
Vale la pena considerar nuestro sacerdocio ordinario
otorgado en nuestro bautismo. Viene a mi memoria los 21
hombres que fueron decapitados en la playa de Libia a las
orillas del mar mediterráneo el 16 de Febrero del 2015, y,
posterior a ellos, otros 28 hombres también fueron
decapitados el 20 de Agosto del 2015 todos ellos por
proclamar su fe en Cristo.
El evangelio de hoy nos pide proclamar el Evangelio con
nuestra vida, pero . . . ¿ Estaríamos dispuestos a atestiguarlo
con nuestro martirio ?
La Palabra en tu vida
Afirmar que la puerta del Reino es estrecha no es un signo
de pesimismo. Es solamente la prueba de que la vocación
del hombre es tomada en serio. Dios no es una mercancía
que se adquiere de una vez para siempre. Señor Jesús,
ayúdanos a tomar en serio nuestra vida, tal como lo hiciste
Tú.
¿ Conoces Deep Cove ?
Sea sí o no tu respuesta la invitación de parte de Génesis es
la misma. Queremos aprovechar el buen clima por lo tanto,
primero Dios, nos reuniremos en dicho lugar el 17 de
Septiembre para pasar un día de campo platicando con
quienes ya conocemos y presentándonos con quienes no
estamos familiarizados. Será un paseo de ``traje´´ lo que en
inglés se le llama Pot-Luck. ¡ Asegúrate de marcarlo en tu
calendario ! Más información la próxima semana.
