TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

There is a common expression: “Too much information!” We usually use it when people tell us details about their lives that we don’t want or need to know. Today, when James and John ask Jesus a simple question, making their request for places of honor in the kingdom, a simple answer might have been in order. Instead, as he often does, Jesus answers a question with a question; today it’s about drinking the cup of suffering. Then, once the others are indignant over James and John’s outrageous request, he proceeds to give them what may have been “too much information” for followers who were simply interested in the pursuit of glory. But this information, though it can sometimes seem “too much” for us, is essential for our lives as disciples. In Isaiah, in Hebrews, and in Mark today, we learn this information. It is in suffering, in weakness, in self-giving service to others, that we come to understand the kingdom. It is the information we need to find our place and come to be honored in the reign of God.

DEMASIADA INFORMACIÓN PARA MI GUSTO

Existe una expresión de uso corriente: “Demasiada información para mi gusto”. Generalmente decimos esto cuando alguien nos da detalles sobre su vida que no deseamos o no necesitamos saber. Hoy, cuando Santiago y Juan le hacen una pregunta simple a Jesús y le piden ocupar lugares de honor en el Reino, Jesús podría haberles dado una respuesta simple. Pero, como suele hacerlo, responde una pregunta con otra pregunta, en este caso se trata de beber el cáliz del sufrimiento. Luego, cuando los demás se indignan contra el atrevido pedido de Santiago y Juan, Jesús les dice algo que puede haber sido “demasiada información” para el gusto de los seguidores, quienes sólo estaban interesados en alcanzar la gloria. Pero esta información, aunque algunas veces pueda parecer “demasiada” para nuestro gusto, es vital para nuestras vidas como discípulos. Hoy en Isaías, en hebreos y en Marcos, conocemos esta información: sólo mediante el sufrimiento, la debilidad y el servicio generoso a los demás comprenderemos el Reino. Ésta es la información que necesitamos para encontrar nuestro lugar y poder ser honrados en el Reino de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

En el Evangelio de hoy escuchamos: "El que quiera ser grande entre ustedes, que sea su servidor y el que quiera ser primero, que sea el esclavo de todos, así como el Hijo del Hombre, que no ha venido a que lo sirvan, sino a servir y a dar su vida por la redención de todos ". (Marcos 10:43)

Recientemente Kenny, mi esposo, nuestro director de música, yo y la familia, nos fuimos de vacaciones a Washington, DC. En estos tiempos de mucha disensión y discordia, es evidente que en esta época tenemos diferentes opiniones sobre lo que significa gobernar. Mientras estaba sentada durante un recorrido por el edificio del Capitolio viendo un video corto, salieron tres palabras en la pantalla, E Pluribus Unum. Esto significa en latín, "De muchos, uno". Este fue el lema no oficial de los Estados Unidos de América hasta 1956. En 1956, el Lema oficial de los Estados Unidos de América se convirtió en "En Dios confiamos". Después del vídeo, pensé, que hermoso país tenemos la bendición de tener y que el lema de E Pluribus Unum es uno que todos los cristianos podemos reconocer. Porque en las Escrituras escuchamos esta misma idea y es la base de quienes somos como iglesia.

“Porque así como el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, pero, todos los miembros del cuerpo, aunque son muchos, constituyen un solo cuerpo, así también es Cristo. Pues por un mismo Espíritu todos fuimos bautizados en un solo cuerpo, ya Judíos o Griegos, ya esclavos o libres. A todos se nos dio a beber del mismo Espíritu. Pero así formó Dios el cuerpo, dando mayor honra a la parte que carecía de ella, a fin de que en el cuerpo no haya división, sino que los miembros tengan el mismo cuidado unos por otros. Si un miembro sufre, todos los miembros sufren con él; y si un miembro es honrado, todos los miembros se regocijan con él. Ahora bien, ustedes son el cuerpo de Cristo, y cada uno individualmente un miembro de él. (1 Corintios 12:12-13. 24-27)

E Pluribus Unum, “De muchos, uno”. Qué hermoso es ser llamado cristiano y vivir en este hermoso país, Estados Unidos de América. Al salir del teatro y caminar hacia la la luz, me dolió el pecho por el orgullo y honor de ser parte del Cuerpo de Cristo y también de ser ciudadano de los Estados Unidos de América. Solo que con el honor viene la responsabilidad y cada uno de nosotros debemos hacer nuestra parte.

En el Evangelio de hoy, cuando Santiago y Juan le pidieron a Jesús que los colocara a su derecha y a su izquierda, no entendían lo que esto significaba realmente. Hoy que vivimos en un mundo que se centra en nuestros propios intereses y nuestra propia gloria. Debemos mirar el Evangelio de hoy y reflexionar sobre lo que significa servir y no ser servido. Humildad por encima de todo y obediencia a la voluntad de Dios, no a la nuestra. Como cristianos, estamos llamados a ser ejemplos para todos y para mostrar al mundo lo que significa servir. Esta semana, pidamos a Dios, a través del Espíritu Santo, que abra nuestros corazones y nuestras mentes y nos muestre cómo podemos servir a la iglesia, al mundo que nos rodea, y a ser un signo de cómo de muchos, somos uno. E Pluribus Unum.

Bendiciones siempre Ellen

In today’s Gospel we hear, “Whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:43 [NAB])

Recently Kenny, my husband and our music director, and I along with family, went on vacation to Washington, D.C. In a time of much dissension and discord, it is apparent in this day and age that we have differing opinions on what it means to govern. As I sat on a tour at the Capitol Building watching a short video, three word’s popped out on the screen, E Pluribus Unum. This means in Latin, “Out of Many, One.” This was the unofficial motto of the United States of America until 1956. In 1956, the official motto of the United States of America became, “In God We Trust.” After the short film, I was reminded of what a beautiful country, we are blessed to have and the motto of E Pluribus Unum is one that all Christians can recognize. For in scripture we hear this very idea and is the basis of who we are as church.

“As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy. Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:12, 24-27 (NAB)

E Pluribus Unum, “Out of Many, One”. How beautiful it is to be called a Christian and to be living in this beautiful country, the United States of America. As we walked out of the theatre and into the light, my chest ached with pride and honor to be a part of Christ’s Body and also to be a citizen of the United States of America. With honor comes responsibility and each of us must do our part.

When James and John asked Jesus in the Gospel today to place them at his right and his left side, they did not understand what this truly meant. Today when we live in a world that focuses on our own self-interests and our own glory. We must look at today’s Gospel and reflect on what it means to serve not to be served. Humility above all else and obedience to the will of God not our own. As Christians, we are called to be examples to all and to show the world what it means to serve. This week let us ask God, through the Holy Spirit, to open our hearts and minds and show us how we can serve the church, the world around us, and be a sign of how out of many we are one. E Pluribus Unum. Blessings always, Ellen

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today we continue our reflection on the meaning of wisdom and riches in our lives. Isaiah reminds us that the Suffering Servant (whom we identify with Jesus) was powerless and offered his life for our sins. Jesus is the richness we seek. The psalm reminds us that even through suffering, Jesus was not alone and neither are we. Jesus waited and so must we. Hebrews also acknowledges the loneliness of waiting and Jesus' understanding of our weakness. Mark again makes these reflections real with the story of two brothers with great ambitions but little understanding of the real cost of their request to sit at the right hand of Jesus in glory. Jesus responds by reminding them that power within the reign of God is service, not authority. Jesus, and any who would follow him, gives his life for others. POWER AND PRIVILEGE The readings today emphasize that power and privilege are very different in the reign of God than they are in the world. Isaiah reminds us of the suffering, the affliction, the powerlessness of the Suffering Servant who gave his life for our sins. The Psalm and Hebrews describe the loneliness and fear of waiting for the coming of God's reign in a world that values power over service and sacrifice. The readings remind us to rely upon God in a world that mocks sacrifice for the unworthy and the weak. Mark describes the ambitions of the apostles, James and John, who had the arrogance to ask for positions of power and privilege. The other ten apostles became indignant when they

heard this because of their own ambitions to hold positions of power, authority, and glory. Jesus' response contrasts how power and authority are used in the world and how they are used in the reign of God. Jesus understands that power is service and sacrifice in God's world. SERVICE AND SACRIFICE In today's readings we see the stark contrast between the world that reflects human values and a world that reflects God's values. Who among us does not long to have more control, more power over our own lives? Who among us does not wish for the comfort of privilege, the ease of authority, and the pleasure of being served? Few if any would forsake power, privilege, control for the opportunity to serve. Of course, we all think that we would use our power justly, wisely, generously; but unless our power is rooted in service and sacrifice, it will always be misused. Jesus makes clear that until we understand that sacrifice and service are at the root of real power, we are unworthy of the mantle of authority. Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario PODER Y PRIVILEGIO Las lecturas de hoy enfatizan que el poder y el privilegio son muy diferentes en el Reino de Dios de lo que son en el mundo. Isaías nos recuerda del sufrimiento, la aflicción, la impotencia del Siervo Sufriente que dio su vida por nuestros pecados. El salmo y la carta a los hebreos describen la soledad y el temor de esperar la venida del Reino de Dios en un mundo que valora el poder por

encima del servicio y sacrificio. Las lecturas nos recuerdan confiar en Dios en un mundo que se burla del sacrificio de los débiles e indigentes. Marcos describe la ambición de los apóstoles, Santiago y Juan, quienes tuvieron la arrogancia de pedir posiciones de poder y privilegio. Los otros diez apóstoles se indignaron cuando escucharon esto debido a sus propias ambiciones de tener posiciones de poder, autoridad y gloria. La respuesta de Jesús contrasta en cómo el poder y la autoridad son usados en el mundo y cómo se usan en el Reino de Dios. Jesús sabe que el poder es servicio y sacrificio en el mundo de Dios. SERVICIO Y SACRIFICIO En las lecturas de hoy vemos el marcado contraste entre el mundo que refleja los valores humanos y un mundo que refleja los valores de Dios. ¿Quién en medio de nosotros no anhela tener más control, poder sobre nuestras vidas? ¿Quién en medio de nosotros no desea la comodidad del privilegio, la facilidad de la autoridad y el placer de ser servido? Pocos, si alguno, abandonaría el poder, el privilegio, el control por la oportunidad de servir. Desde luego, todos pensamos que nosotros usaríamos el poder de manera justa, sabia y generosamente; pero a menos que nuestro poder se enraíce en el servicio y sacrificio, siempre será mal utilizado. Jesús deja en claro que hasta que entendamos que el sacrificio y el servicio están en la raíz del poder real, somos indignos de ser investidos con autoridad. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
