In the Gospel Passage (Luke 16:1-13), Christ makes this challenging statement: “Make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.” Was Jesus – our Lord and

God – encouraging us to become dishonest, and to cheat and dupe people in order to share with the poor? Certainly not! He was only addressing the flimsy reasons we give to justify selfishness and greed. In the First Reading (Amos 8:4-7), PROPHET AMOS SPEAKS AGAINST SOCIAL INJUSTICES: The rich and powerful used their position to amass wealth through cruel, deceitful and fraudulent means, at the

expense of the poor. Prophet Amos proclaimed, “Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!.... We will diminish the ephah, add to the shekel, and fix our scales for cheating! We will buy the lowly for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat we will sell!” Wow! Incredible! And in the Gospel Passage, a steward who was about to be fired for dishonesty shrewdly defrauded his master by giving fraudulent rebates to their clients: “that they may welcome me into their homes.” Of course, his master caught him in the act. But instead of indicting him, “he… commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently [shrewdly].” Are you kidding me? Please, do not confuse the master in this passage with Jesus. JESUS WILL NOT PRAISE ANYONE FOR ADDING SIN UPON SIN. The master of the steward tolerated him because he too was fraudulent and shrewd: “For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their… [own kind].” Truly, “birds of the same feather flock together.” CHRIST’S OVERALL POINT IS, none of us can claim that all his/her wealth is 100% free from sin or dishonesty. It’s only a matter of degree. Some cheat 70%, some cheat 50%, some 10% and some perhaps 2%. But certainly no one can claim to be entirely free from cheating (cf. 1John 1:8-9). Therefore, Jesus enjoins, “Make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.” BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK: “[Alms giving] love covers a multitude of sins” (1Pet 4:8; cf. Prov 10:12). Desde el Escritorio del Pastor En el Pasaje del Evangelio (Lucas 16:1-13), Cristo hace esta afirmación desafiante: “Con el dinero, tan lleno de injusticias, gánense amigos que, cuando ustedes mueran, los reciban en el cielo.” Era Jesús – nuestro Señor y Dios – ¿nos anima a volvernos deshonestos y engañar a las personas para compartir con los pobres? ¡Ciertamente no! Él solo estaba abordando las débiles razones que damos para justificar el egoísmo y la codicia. En la Primera Lectura (Amós 8:4-7), EL PROFETA AMOS HABLA CONTRA LAS INJUSTICAS SOCIALES: Los ricos y poderosos usaron su posición para acumular riqueza a través de medios crueles, engañosos y fraudulentos, a expensas de los pobres. El Profeta Amós proclamó: “Escuchen esto los que buscan al pobre sólo para arruinarlo y andan diciendo…. ‘Disminuyen las medidas, aumentan los precios, alteran las balanzas, obligan a los pobres a venderse; por un par de sandalias los compran y hasta venden la cascarilla como trigo.” ¡Wow! ¡Increíble! Y en el Pasaje del Evangelio, un administrador que estaba a punto de ser despedido por deshonestidad defraudó astutamente a su maestro al dar reembolsos fraudulentos a sus clientes: “para tener a alguien que me reciba en su casa.” Por supuesto, su maestro lo atrapó en el acto. Pero en lugar de acusarlo, “el… tuvo que reconocer que su mal administrador había procedido con habilidad [astutamente].” ¿Me estás tomando el pelo? Por favor, no confunda al maestro en este pasaje con Jesús. JESÚS NO ELEGIRÁ A NADIE POR AGREGAR EL PECADO SOBRE EL PECADO. El maestro del mayordomo lo toleró porque él también era fraudulento y astuto: “Pues los que pertenecen a este mundo son más hábiles en sus negocios... [con su mismo tipo].” En verdad, “las aves de la misma pluma se juntan.” EL PUNTO DE JESUS ES, ninguno de nosotros puede afirmar que toda su riqueza está 100% libre de pecado o deshonestidad. Es solo una cuestión de grado. Algunos engañan al 70%, algunos engañan al 50%, algunos al 10% y algunos quizás al 2%. Pero ciertamente nadie puede afirmar que el suyo es totalmente libre de trampas (cf. 1Juan 1:8-9). Por lo tanto, Jesús ordena: “Con el dinero, tan lleno de injusticias, gánense amigos que, cuando ustedes mueran, los reciban en el cielo.” VERSO BIBLICO DE LA SEMANA: “[El dar limosnas] el amor cubre una multitud de pecados” (1 Pedro 4:8; cf. Prov 10:12).

Pastor’s Corner


Reflection on the Sunday Readings By Fr. Eamon Tobin In the first reading, Amos condemns the rich for being more concerned with money than with true worship. In the second reading, Paul encourages prayers of intercession, especially for leaders. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks about the importance of decisive action in a time of crisis and about using material wealth in a way that will give honor to God. Let us listen to God’s Word to hear what it is he wants to say to us in these readings today Reflexión sobre el Lecturas dominicales Por el p. Eamon Tobin En la primera lectura, Amós condena a los ricos por preocuparse más por el dinero que por la ver-dadera adoración. En la segunda lectura, Paul alienta las oraciones de intercesión, especialmente por los líderes. En el Evangelio, Jesús habla sobre la importancia de la acción decisiva en tiempos de crisis y sobre el uso de la riqueza material de una manera que honre a Dios. Escuchemos la Palabra de Dios para escuchar lo que quiere decirnos en estas lecturas hoy.

TIMING It is never the wrong time to do the right thing. —Anonymous OPORTUNIDAD No hay momento inoportuno para hacer el bien. —Anónimo

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although June is the month most associated with weddings in the United States, September has become more popular in recent years. Wedding celebrations al-ways require some savvy planning, and people who have a talent for hospitality in the mix. At the wedding feast at Cana, the mother of Jesus was recruited to deal with some of the details of the banquet, and when a very understandable crisis arose, she did what she could to rescue the party. Anyone who has ever run out of ice, dessert, or table settings knows the stress! Slowly, the memory of Jesus Christ’s blessing of this marriage feast led the Church to form a way to bless marriages. A thousand years ago weddings migrated from the family home to the doors of the church, where the celebration was held in public view. From this prac-tice came a prayer called the “Nuptial Blessing,” one of the most solemn prayers in our tradition. It is very much like the prayers by which baptismal water and chrism are consecrated, the ordination prayer over a priest, and the Eucharistic Prayers over bread and wine. Four hun-dred fifty years ago, weddings moved inside the church building. All of this gives married couples good reason to celebrate their anniversaries well, especially with the clinking of glasses filled with good wine. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La última mitad del siglo pasado, nuestro continen-te vio el derrame de muchísima sangre cristiana. No podemos olvidar la sangre de quienes dieron la vida por el Evangelio de la justicia: Michel Quiroga evange-lizador colombiano; Agustina Rivas monjita peruana; Vicente Matute líder indígena hondureño; Marlene Ke-gler una universitaria de 23 años argentina. Estos son algunos ejemplos de tantos que murieron creyendo que la doctrina cristiana no se puede contener en templos y conventos. Dieron la vida por querer vivir su fe en si-tuaciones de discriminación e injusticia. Derramando su sangre se convirtieron en ángeles de justicia que gri-tan a Dios uniendo sus voces a la de Abel. Todos estos mártires latinoamericanos murieron a manos de latinoamericanos. Dieron sus vidas, según la mártir chilena Joan Alsina, como granos de trigo. Y desde el cielo ella nos pide: “Esperamos tu solidaridad. ¿Entiendes ahora lo que significa el Cuerpo de Cristo? Si nosotros nos hundimos es algo de tu esperanza la que se hunde. Pero si de las cenizas asumimos la vida de nuevo, es algo que nace de nuevo en ustedes.” —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio); Autumn begins Thursday: Ss. Cosmas and Damian Friday: St. Vincent de Paul Saturday: St. Wenceslaus; Blessed Virgin Mary St. Lawrence Ruiz and Companions

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: San Pío de Pietralcina (Padre Pío); Comienza el Otoño Jueves: Santos Cosme y Damián Viernes: San Vicente de Paul Sábado: San Wenceslao; Santa María Virgen; San Lorenzo Ruiz y compañeros

Padre Pio was born on May 25, 1887 in Pietrelcina, southern Italy. He was tutored privately until his entry to the novitiate of the Capuchin Friars at the age of 15. Of feeble health but strong will, with the help of grace, he completed the required studies and was ordained a priest in 1910.

On September 20, 1918 the five wounds of our Lord’s passion appeared on his body, making him the first stigmatized priest in the history of the Catholic Church. Countless persons were attracted to his confessional and many more received his saintly counsel and spiritual guidance through correspondence. His whole life was marked by long hours of prayer and continual austerity. His letters to his spiritual directors reveal the ineffable suffering, physical and spiritual, which accompanied him all through his life. They also reveal his deep union with God, his burning love for the Blessed Eucharist and Our Blessed Lady.

A Five-Year Planning Team has been formed. This team is in the process of evaluating our properties and making priorities to what repairs and or items that will need replaced. The Diocese has been recommending we have a team in place so we can be pro-active in keeping our campus up to date and also have the funds to do the work. As we determine items that need repaired or fixed we will publish to you. James McCandless, Joe Perry, Deacon Tom Flavell, Brian Sumpf, Vince Stevens, Jerry Staggenborg, Tracy Flavell Se ha formado un equipo de planificación quinquenal. Este equipo está en el proceso de evaluar nuestras propiedades y establecer prioridades para las reparacio-nes y / o artículos que necesitarán ser reemplazados. La Diócesis ha estado recomendando que tengamos un equipo para que podamos ser proactivos en mantener nuestro campus actualizado y también tener los fondos para hacer el trabajo. A medida que determinamos los artículos que necesitan reparado o reparado lo publi-caremos.

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for September: That politicians, scientists and economists work together to protect the world's seas and oceans.

Intención de oración del Papa Francisco para septiembre: Que políticos, científicos y economistas trabajen juntos para proteger los mares y océanos del mundo.

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ezr 1:1-6; Ps 126:1b-6; Lk 8:16-18 Tuesday: Ezr 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20; Ps 122:1-5; Lk 8:19-21 Wednesday: Ezr 9:5-9; Tb:13:2, 3-4abefghn, 7-8; Lk 9:1-6 Thursday: Hg 1:1-8; Ps 149:1b-6a, 9b; Lk 9:7-9 Friday: Hg 2:1-9; Ps 43:1-4; Lk 9:18-22 Saturday: Zec 2:5-9, 14-15a; Jer 31:10-12ab, 13; Lk 9:43b-45 Sunday: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Ps 146:7-10; 1 Tm 6:11-16; Lk 16:19-31

GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF THE POOR Two of today’s readings make it quite clear that God is on the side of the poor. Amos describes in detail the exploitation of the poor and needy. The psalm repeats that God acts to benefit the poor and lowly. But Luke turns things upside down, telling a tale of a conflicted steward, about to be fired, who demonstrates his clever-ness and is rewarded. Like the community to whom Paul writes in Timothy, these readings are personal, directed to believers, members of the Jewish and Christian com-munities, who struggle to deal with personal choices about how to conduct their lives. They offer an outline for how God wishes us to live in a world as complicated and as confusing as our own. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor (Psalm 113). Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos (Salmo 113)

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Esd 1:1-6; Sal 126 (125):1b-6; Lc 8:16-18 Martes: Esd 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Lc 8:19-21 Miércoles: Esd 9:5-9; Tob:13:2, 3-4abefghn, 7-8; Lc 9:1-6 Jueves: Ag 1:1-8; Sal 149 (148):1b-6a, 9b; Lc 9:7-9 Viernes: Ag 2:1-9; Sal 43 (42):1-4; Lc 9:18-22 Sábado: Zac 2:5-9, 14-15a; Jer 31:10-12ab, 13; Lc 9:43b-45 Domingo: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Sal 146 (145):7-10; 1 Tm 6:11-16; Lc 16:19-31

DIOS ESTÁ DEL LADO DE LOS POBRES Dos de las lecturas de hoy ponen muy en claro que Dios está del lado de los pobres. Amós describe en detalle el abuso de los pobres y necesitados. El Salmo repite que Dios actúa en beneficio de los pobres y los humildes. Pero Lucas pone las cosas de cabeza, contando una historia de un mayordomo en conflicto, a punto de ser despedido, que demuestra astucia y es recompensado. Como la comunidad a la que Pablo escribe en Timoteo, estas lecturas son per-sonales, dirigidas a los creyentes, miembros de las comu-nidades judías y cristianas que tienen dificultades con elecciones personales de cómo conducir sus vidas. Ofrecen un bosquejo de cómo Dios desea que vivamos en un mundo tan complicado y tan confundido como el nuestro. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
