23RD Ordinary Sunday Email: sanjuanshrine@att.net Domingo 23 Ordinario ATTITUDE CHANGE Today’s readings ask us to re-think our attitudes and ways. The passage from the book of Wisdom reminds us that, when it comes to understanding, even the wisest person barely scrapes the surface of things. In Paul’s provocative little letter to Philemon, the apostle praises Philemon for his understanding of the social order—which included slavery—and for his good treatment of Onesimus. Then Paul goes on to drop his bombshell. He tells Philemon that Onesimus is now a Christian and should be treated as such—as a brother, an equal. What was Philemon to think? Today’s Gospel tells us that if we are to follow Jesus, we must do some serious planning. Then, once all our planning is complete, we have to be willing to accept the fact that our plans are never enough. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — You sent your holy spirit from on high and thus were the paths of those on earth made straight (Wisdom 9:13-18b).

Psalm — In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge (Psalm 90).

Second Reading — Paul asks Philemon to accept back his slave Onesimus as a brother (Philemon 9-10, 12-17).

Gospel — Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? (Luke 14:25-33).

CAMBIO DE ACTITUD Las lecturas de hoy nos sugieren repensar nuestra actitud y nuestro comportamiento. El pasaje del libro de la Sabiduría nos recuerda que, en lo que se refiere a entender, aun la persona más sabia apenas toca

la superficie de las cosas. En la provocativa y breve carta de san Pablo a Filemón, el apóstol lo elogia por entender el orden social –que incluye la esclavitud– y por tratar bien a Onésimo. Luego Pablo le da la noticia. Le dice que Onésimo es ahora cristiano y debe tratarlo como tal –como un hermano, igual a él. ¿Qué pensaría Filemón? El Evangelio de hoy nos dice que si vamos a seguir a Jesús, debemos planearlo seriamente. Y cuando creamos que ya estamos listos, estar dispuestos a aceptar que nuestros planes nunca son suficientes.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — ¿Quién puede saber los caminos de Dios a menos que Dios le dé sabiduría y le envíe el Espíritu Santo de lo alto? (Sabiduría 9:13-18b)

Salmo — Señor, Tú has sido nuestro refugio de generación en generación. (Salmo 90 [89]).

Segunda lectura — Pablo pide a Filemón que acepte a su esclavo, Onésimo, pero no como esclavo, sino como hermano (Filemón 9-10, 12-17).

Evangelio — Para ser discípulo de Jesús uno debe cargar con su cruz y renunciar a todas sus posesiones (Lucas 14:25-33).
