Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Luke 10:25-37

Jesus was a great storyteller. We can imagine how fascinating his voice and manner must have been when he told the parable of the Good Samaritan to the lawyer who wanted to be saved. And how surprised the lawyer must have been when he heard the answer to the question "Who is my neighbor?"! My neighbor is not just the person next door or a member of my parish or my racial group. My neighbor is anyone in need—even if he or she seems to be an enemy. Jesus' parable reveals the true meaning of love of neighbor. It is going out of our way to do everything for someone that we would want done for us. 1.) What is Jesus' message in this parable? If you truly understand Jesus' message, how could you carry it out in your own school, neighborhood, or parish?

Evangelio: Lucas 10:25-37 Jesús contaba historia muy bien. Podemos imaginar lo fascinante de su voz y maneras cuando contaba la parábola del buen samaritano al abogado que quería salvarse. Y la sorpresa del abogado al escuchar la respuesta a la pregunta ¿Quién es tu prójimo? El prójimo no es sólo el vecino de al lado o los miembros de mi parroquia o mi grupo étnico. El prójimo es todo aquel en necesidad, aun cuando sea mi enemigo. La parábola de Jesús revela el verdadero significado del amor al prójimo. Es ir más allá de lo normal para hacer por otro lo que queremos hagan por nosotros. 1.) ¿Cuál es el mensaje de Jesús en esta parábola? Si verdaderamente entiendes el mensaje de Jesús, ¿cómo lo pondrás en práctica en tu escuela, vecindario y parroquia?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco THOSE PEOPLE

Today's Gospel should trouble us more than it does. An expert in religious law wants Jesus to define "neighbor." In response, Jesus tells a disturbing story. A traveler is attacked and left for dead. A priest and Levite come upon him and

walk around his body, afraid of impurity from the bloody "corpse." Along comes a Samaritan. Jews and Samaritans despised and avoided each other. The Samaritan sees that the beaten man is alive, cleans his wounds, and hauls him to the nearest inn, paying money to ensure his care. The priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan all saw the beaten man, but where the priest and the Levite saw a problem, the Samaritan saw a person. How quickly do we offer help to someone who might be trouble? Do we say silently, "If I give money they'll only spend it on alcohol or drugs," or "These people are always wanting handouts"? Jesus insists that "these people" are the neighbors we must love like ourselves. Let's get started. Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

ESA GENTE

El evangelio de hoy debería inquietarnos más. Un experto en leyes religiosas quiere que Jesús le defina quién es el "prójimo". Jesús le da la respuesta con una historia perturbadora. Un caminante es atacado y dejado por muerto. Un

sacerdote y un levita le pasan por el lado por miedo a la impureza de un "cadáver" ensangrentado. Ahora viene un samaritano. Los judíos y samaritanos se despreciaban y evitaban encontrarse. El samaritano ve que el hombre golpeado está vivo, limpia sus heridas, lo lleva al hostal más cercano y paga para garantizar su cuidado. Tanto el sacerdote como el levita y el samaritano vieron al hombre golpeado, pero donde el sacerdote y el levita vieron un problema, el samaritano vio a una persona. ¿Cómo reaccionamos para ayudar a alguien que lo necesita? ¿Acaso decimos para nuestro interior: "Si le doy dinero lo gastará en alcohol o en drogas" o "Esa gente siempre espera que se lo den todo"? Jesús insiste en que "esa gente" es el prójimo a quien debemos amar como a nosotros mismos. Manos a la obra. Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

rd

Anniversary of their establishment. For 43 years they have been meeting every Thursday night, to know and understand the Word of the Lord, growing spiritually and emotionally in life.

GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that God always wants to be recognizable and familiar to us. Jesus, who is also truly God, wants to be on intimate terms with each of us. God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us understand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable provides practical advice for those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

HAPPINESS Since happiness is nothing else but the enjoyment of the Supreme good, and the Supreme good is above us, no one can be happy who does not rise above oneself. —St. Bonaventure

WISDOM

Wisdom has been defined as knowing the difference between pulling your weight and throwing it around. —Anonymous

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

On a summer day, with the windows open, we may hear the sound of church bells. Bells seem to have come into church life in Irish monasteries around the seventh century, and spread around the Christian world by Irish monks on missionary journeys. By the eighth century, bells were standard equipment in even small parish churches. An ancient ceremony, once called the “baptism of the bells,” recognizes that the church bell has a voice to call people to awareness and summon them to worship, and even bestows a name on the bell. In a world without clocks or watches, the bell had an indispensable role. For calling monks in from the fields for prayer, or alerting far flung visitors, the bell’s voice was enhanced by hoisting it high into a tower. Soon it was learned that the sound of several bells clanging together in harmony imparted a sense of joy to great celebrations, and bell towers prospered, some chock full of bells. Different combinations of rings could indicate a death, a Mass, a wedding, a fast day, the curfew at the end of day, and the Angelus. Before electricity, bell-ringing was hard work indeed: the biggest bell in the Catholic world, in Cologne, Germany, weighs twenty seven tons! There’s no substitute for the resonant roar of a mighty bell; electric chimes are not eligible for blessing! —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL DESEO DE DIOS PARA SER CONOCIDO

La lectura del Antiguo Testamento del libro del Deuteronomio alaba a Dios por escribir los mandamientos en nuestros cuerpos. La ley de Dios no es extraña o distante, sino una parte natural de nosotros. En su carta a los colosenses, san Pablo hace eco de Moisés, alabando a Dios por ser uno de nosotros. Él, verdaderamente humano, de carne y hueso, Jesús nos recuerda que Dios siempre quiere ser para nosotros alguien familiar al quien podemos reconocer, el que es verdadero Dios, quiere estar en buenos términos con cada uno de nosotros. El deseo apasionado de Dios para ser conocido por nosotros es tan maravilloso para disfrutarse. El Evangelio de Lucas nos ayuda a entender cómo responder. La parábola del Buen Samaritano nos provee de consejos prácticos para quienes creen en la intimidad del amor de Dios para ellos y quiere compartir ese amor con otros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

AMOR Y CONFIANZA Poco amor, poca confianza. —Proverbio inglés

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Desde 1913, en la ciudad de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, la Virgen del Carmen es reconocida como la Virgen del Mar. En aquel año un barco llamado el Galileo naufraga en una tempestad y el pueblo angustiado por sus seres queridos recurrió al templo de la Virgen para pedir auxilio. Algunos días después todos los tripulantes fueron rescatados y llevados a Puntarenas. Según los tripulantes, mientras las lluvias y vientos amenazaban al Galileo una mujer los animó a que se echasen al agua y nadaran a tierra firme. Allí ella los alimentó y los acompañó hasta que fueron rescatados. Llenos de alegría, el pueblo llevó a los rescatados a la iglesia para dar gracias. Estos reconocieron a la Virgen del Carmen como la mujer que los había ayudado. Desde entonces el sábado más cercano al 16 de julio, el pueblo celebra en grande la fiesta del Carmen con grandes desfiles de barcos y yates. Entre música y fuegos artificiales los costarricenses vienen en embarcaciones adornadas desde toda la nación a celebrar con la Virgen del Mar que también se encuentra en una embarcación. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
