Lectura, as de Hoy Isaias 66:18-21

Salmo 116:1, 2 (R/. Marcos 16:15) Hebreos 12:5-7, 11-13

Lucas 13:22-30

The second reading and gospel may be read as a call

to discipline, not exactly a contemporary value. We

want everything now and without effort. Yet disci-

pline is necessary for growth. Without discipline the

artist does not develop craft. Without discipline we

do not mature spiritually. We cannot acquire wis-

dom by reading a book or listening to a homily. Un-

less we do the hard work of praying and being

shaped, we are not converted.

Yet we want to rescue the notion of discipline from

the obsolete and abusive childrearing metaphor used

by the author of Hebrews. We now know that “spare

the rod and spoil the child” will not help a child

grow. But what of the hardships that come into our

own life? Do we see them as a possibility for disci-

pline and for our growth? Or do we try to avoid

them, narcotize ourselves against them, pray that

they will go away? We are being molded by God.

Everything that happens to us is God’s will to aid

our transformation. We are engaged in a dangerous

work, and Jesus’ admonitions address not outsiders

but his own people—ourselves. We have been cho-

sen for an awesome task. More will be expected of

us because more has been given us, both as Chris-

tians and as Americans. If we do not take this com-

mission seriously, if we do not accept discipline and

allow ourselves to be converted so that we shine with

the gospel, we risk being left behind while others to

whom this wondrous opportunity has not been given

enter the kingdom before us.

La segunda lectura y el evangelio pueden leerse como un

llamado a la disciplina, no exactamente un valor contempo-

ráneo. Queremos todo ahora y sin esfuerzo. Sin embargo, la

disciplina es necesaria para el crecimiento. Sin disciplina, el

artista no desarrolla el oficio. Sin disciplina no maduramos

espiritualmente.

No podemos adquirir sabiduría leyendo un libro o escuchan-

do una homilía. A menos que hagamos el arduo trabajo de

orar y ser moldeados, no estamos convertidos.

Sin embargo, queremos rescatar la noción de disciplina de la

metáfora de crianza de hijos obsoleta y abusiva utilizada por

el autor de Hebreos.

Ahora sabemos que "ahorrar la vara y malcriar al niño" no

ayudará al niño a crecer. Pero, ¿qué pasa con las dificultades

que vienen a nuestra propia vida? ¿Los vemos como una

posibilidad para la disciplina y para nuestro crecimiento? ¿O

intentamos evitarlos, narcotizarnos contra ellos, rezar para

que se vayan? Estamos siendo moldeados por Dios.

Todo lo que nos sucede es la voluntad de Dios para ayudar a

nuestra transformación. Estamos comprometidos en un tra-

bajo peligroso, y las advertencias de Jesús no se refieren a

personas ajenas, sino a su propia gente, a nosotros mismos.

Hemos sido elegidos para una tarea increíble. Se esperará

más de nosotros porque se nos ha dado más, tanto como cris-

tianos como estadounidenses.

Si no tomamos en serio esta comisión, si no aceptamos la

disciplina y nos permitimos convertirnos para brillar con el

evangelio, corremos el riesgo de quedarnos atrás, mientras

que otros a quienes no se les ha dado esta maravillosa opor-

tunidad ingresan al reino antes que nosotros.

St. Monica of Hippo

Patroness of Difficult mar-riages; disappointing chil-dren; victims of adultery or unfaithfulness; victims of (verbal) abuse; and conver-sion of relatives. The Catholic Church cele-

brates St. Monica on August 27.

The theme for the 15th Eucharistic Congress of the Diocese of Charlotte has been announced by Bishop Peter Jugis:

“Stay With Us, Lord.

”The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation … The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that

communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being.

The origins of the Eucharist are found in the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his Apostles. “In order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted the

Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return; ‘thereby he constituted them priests of the New Testa-

ment’” (ccc.no 1337)

The 2019 theme is taken from the Gospel book of Luke (24:29), telling of two dejected disciples leaving Jerusalem

after Christ was crucified and died.

At www.goeucharist.com: Get information about the up-coming Eucharistic Congress, in English and Spanish

Thank you to those who represented us. This year we hope more people will be there to join the Bishop and the Church in the Diocese of Charlotte to celebrate and pray adoring Jesus Christ physically present in the Eucharist.

El tema del 15º Congreso Eucarístico de la Diócesis de Charlotte ha sido anunciado por el obispo Peter Jugis: "Quédate con nosotros, Señor". El tema de 2019 está tomado del libro del Evangelio de Lucas (24:29), que habla de dos discípulos abati-dos que abandonaron Jerusalén después de que Cristo fue crucificado y murió. En www.goeucharist.com: Obtenga información so-bre el próximo Congreso Eucarístico, en inglés y es-pañol. Gracias a quienes nos representaron. Este año espera-mos que haya más personas para unirse al Obispo y la Iglesia en la Diócesis de Charlotte para celebrar y rezar adorando a Jesucristo físicamente presente en la Eucaristía.

La Sagrada Eucaristía completa la iniciación cristia-na... La Eucaristía es el signo eficaz y la causa subli-me de esa comunión en la vida divina y esa unidad del Pueblo de Dios por la cual la Iglesia se mantiene.
