29th Sunday A
Dear parish family,
The Church celebrates this weekend “World Mission Sunday”. It’s a worldwide celebration that reminds us of our
Christian calling to spread the faith and calls us to act in solidarity, through prayer and financially support, the
missionary work of the universal church. Pope Francis says, “It’s a privileged moment when the faithful of various
continents engage in prayer and concrete gestures of solidarity in support of the young Churches in mission lands.”
Mission Sunday differs from “Mission Appeals” done by particular Missionary congregations. We support from time to
time a particular group of missionaries in their area of responsibility whenever they come to us like for example the
Comboni Missionaries a few weeks ago. Mission Sunday however supports Mission churches rather than particular
missionary groups. Our contributions are sent to the Society for the Propagation of Faith, the Vatican’s office that
sustains the “mission territories” spread throughout the world. There are about 1,150 mission dioceses throughout
Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and the remote areas of Latin America. Our contributions therefore connect us to those
mission churches in their work of evangelization, and uplift those thirsting for hope and love. Let us be generous and,
above all, keep the Missions in our prayers
“Give to Caesar what is to Caesar and to God what is to God.” These are the words we hear this Sunday’s
gospel. At the outset, it is easy to understand regarding what and how to give to “Caesar” in our time - by rendering
our civic duties, paying our taxes, and so on. But why is it that people find it difficult to render back what is to God?
We render to God what belongs to God is not simply about attending Mass, or saying our prayers, although these are
part of it. Also it doesn’t simply mean the money we give in the collection baskets although this is part of how we
sacrifice or offer our gifts for God. The best way to measure how really good we are in rendering back to God what
belongs to him is our obedience to His word and His commandments, of how we follow the gospel, of how we practice
love, justice, and respect the dignity of others, and so on. In short, of how we live out our Christian life.
God’s blessings are beyond measure and out of proportion of what we give back to Lord. Yet somehow the
blessings we receive are just the “returns” of what we are giving to the Lord God. We can just imagine the abundance
of blessings of what God would be giving to us in return if only there are many people who are truly living a Christian
life! We can just imagine what a beautiful world this could be! Let us think therefore of what we can do more in giving
back to God what is due to Him in our homes, at work, and in particular in supporting our parish church.
Blessings to you and have a good week!
Fr. Tony
Querida familia parroquial,
Domingo 29 A
La Iglesia celebra este fin de semana "La Jornada Misionera Mundial". Es una celebración en todo el mundo que nos
recuerda nuestra vocación cristiana para difundir la fe y nos llama a actuar en solidaridad, a través de la oración y el
apoyo financiero, la obra misionera de la iglesia universal. El Papa Francis dice: "Es un momento privilegiado, cuando
los fieles de diversos continentes se dedican a la oración y demostraciones concretas de solidaridad en apoyo de las
Iglesias jóvenes en tierras de misión." La Jornada Misionera se diferencia de "Campanas Misioneras" realizados por
congregaciones misioneras particulares. Apoyamos de vez en cuando un determinado grupo de misioneros en su área
cada vez que vienen a nosotros como por ejemplo los Misioneros Comboni de hace unas semanas. Jornada Misionera
sin embargo apoya a las iglesias de la misión en lugar de determinados grupos misioneros. Nuestras contribuciones se
envían a la Sociedad Propagación de la Fe, a la oficina del Vaticano que sustenta los "territorios de misión" repartidas
por todo el mundo. Hay cerca de 1.150 diócesis misioneras de África, Asia, las islas del Pacífico y las áreas remotas
de América Latina. Nuestras contribuciones, por tanto, nos conectan con esas iglesias misioneras en su trabajo de
evangelización, y edificar a los necesitados de esperanza y de amor. Seamos generosos y, sobre todo, mantengamos
las Misiones en nuestras oraciones.
"Dar al César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que es de Dios." Estas son las palabras que escuchamos el
evangelio de este domingo. En primer lugar, es fácil de entender con respecto a qué y cómo dar a "César" en nuestro
tiempo - al cumplir nuestros deberes cívicos, pagar nuestros impuestos, y así sucesivamente. Pero ¿por qué es que
tenemos muchas dificultades para hacer lo que respecta a Dios? Dar a Dios lo que es de Dios no es simplemente
asistir a misa, o decir nuestras oraciones, aunque estos son parte de ella. También no significa simplemente el dinero
que damos en los cestos de recolección aunque esto es parte de cómo nos sacrificamos u ofrecemos nuestros dones
para Dios. La mejor manera de medir qué tan buenos somos realmente en la ofrenda de retribuir a Dios lo que le
pertenece a Él es en nuestra obediencia a Su palabra y sus mandamientos, de cómo seguimos el Evangelio, de la
forma en que practicamos el amor, la justicia y el respeto de la dignidad de los demás, etcétera. En definitiva, de cómo
vivimos nuestra vida cristiana.
Las bendiciones de Dios están más allá de la medida y de la proporción de lo que retribuimos a Dios. Pero
de alguna manera las bendiciones que recibimos son sólo los "retornos" de lo que le estamos dando al Señor Dios.
Podemos imaginar la abundancia de las bendiciones que Dios nos estaría dando a cambio si tan sólo viviéramos una
vida cristiana! Nos podemos imaginar qué mundo maravilloso sería este! Pensemos, por tanto, que más podemos
hacer para retribuir a Dios lo que es de Él, en nuestros hogares, en el trabajo, y en particular en el apoyo a nuestra
parroquia.
¡Bendiciones para ti y que tengas una buena semana!
Padre Tony
