BLEST TO BE A BLESSING The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell the story of the tragedy of human separation from God. But God has not given up on humanity. God is on a mission to reconcile and heal all of creation. In today’s reading from Genesis 12, we see the beginning of God’s new strategy: to begin with a single person (Abram, later renamed Abraham) and family and form them into a distinct people, so that all peoples may see God’s blessing in them, and share in this blessing. God’s chosen people are not selected simply to receive blessing, but to serve as examples and agents of blessing. God blesses people not only for their own benefit but for all. When we fully thank God, we also accept God’s call to bless others. We the Church receive God’s grace precisely so that we may share grace with others. LISTEN TO HIM In today’s Gospel describing the transfiguration of Jesus, we hear of the disciples’ vision of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Peter, perhaps understandably, responds by trying to enshrine the moment by building tents for them. However, God interrupts and speaks words iden-tical to those spoken at Jesus’ baptism: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” But here God adds, “listen to him.” Listening to God can take various forms. At some moments, as when we receive new insight or are deeply moved, we want to jump into action. Sometimes this is appropriate and necessary, but at times God interrupts our eagerness, and calls us to further reflection or simply to listen in silence. Reflection and action are of course both essential to our faith journey. Yet we recall that God may often speak through silence. Contemplative practice, rich in tradition within our Catholic faith, reminds us that God invites us to an encounter within silence. In contempla-tive prayer, we open ourselves and simply wait upon God. We might encounter a divine Presence beyond words. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“Live simply so others may simply live.” —St. Mother Teresa

BENDECIDOS PARA SER BENDICIÓN Los primeros once capítulos del libro del Génesis cuentan la historia de la tragedia de la separación huma-na de Dios. Pero Dios no ha abandonado a la humanidad. Dios está en una misión para reconciliar y sanar a toda la creación. En las lecturas de hoy, del capítulo 12 del libro del Génesis, vemos el comienzo de una nueva estrategia

de Dios: empezar con una persona sencilla (Abram, después llamado Abrahán) y familia y formarlos en personas diferen-tes, para que todas las personas puedan ver la bendición de Dios en ellos, y compartir esta bendición. El pueblo elegido no fue elegido simplemente para recibir esta bendición, sino para servir como ejemplos y como representantes de esta bendición. Dios bendice a las personas, no solamente para su propio beneficio, sino para el de todos. Cuando agradecemos plenamente a Dios, también aceptamos la llamada de Dios para bendecir a otros. Nosotros, la Iglesia, recibimos la gracia de Dios precisamente para que podamos compartir la gracia con los demás. ESCUCHÁLO A ÉL El Evangelio de hoy, describiendo la transfiguración de Jesús, escuchamos de los apóstoles la revelación de Jesús, Moisés y Elías. Pedro, comprensiblemente, responde intentan-do consagrar el momento construyendo chozas para ellos. Sin embargo, Dios interrumpe y habla con palabras idénticas a las habladas en el bautismo de Jesús: “Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco”. Pero aquí, Dios añade “escúchenlo”. Escuchar a Dios puede tomar varias formas. En algunos momentos, así como cuando recibimos nueva luz o estamos profundamente conmovidos, queremos ir a la acción. Algunas veces esto es apropiado y necesario. Pero otras veces, Dios interrumpe nuestro entusiasmo, y nos llama a una reflexión más profunda o simplemente a escuchar en silencio. La reflexión y la acción son desde luego esenciales para nuestro camino de fe. Sin embargo, recordamos que Dios a menudo puede hablar a través del silencio. La práctica contemplativa, rica en tradición en nuestra fe católica, nos recuerda que Dios nos invita a un encuentro dentro del silen-cio. En la oración contemplativa, nos abrimos y simplemente esperamos en Dios. Podríamos encontrar la divina presencia más allá de las palabras. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“Cristo Jesús. . . destruyó la muerte y ha hecho brillar la luz de la vida y de la inmortalidad, por medio del Evangelio.” —2 Timoteo 1:10b

Men suffer too Dear John Peter, In the fall, John, when the leaves fall from the trees, I shall think of you, for you too fell from life. In the cold of winter, John, the snow shall remind me of you: for like the snow you were and are white and pure. In the spring, John, I shall think of you: for the birth of spring shall remind me that you too should have been born into this world. John, I shall think of you in the summer: I shall imagine your laughter. I shall see you as you might have been, a boy running and playing, scraping your knees from a fall. I shall miss, John, all that I might have gained from your life. May you rest in the arms of God, Dad (A letter written by a man who lost his son to abortion)

Los hombres también sufren Querido Juan Pedro, En el otoño, Juan, cuando las hojas se caigan de los árboles voy a pensar en ti, porque tú también te caíste de la vida. En el

frío del invierno, Juan, la nieve me hará recordarte: porque como la nieve tú fuiste y eres blanco y puro. En la primavera, Juan, pensaré en ti: ya que el nacimiento de la primavera me hará recordar que tú también deberías haber nacido en este mundo. Juan, pensaré en ti en el verano: imaginaré tu risa. Te veré como podrías haber sido, un niño corriendo y jugando, raspándote las rodillas en una caída. Extrañaré, Juan, todo lo que podría haber ganado con tu vida. Que descanses en los brazos de Dios, Papá (Una carta escrita por un hombre que perdió a su hijo a causa del aborto)
