21ST Ordinary Sunday Email: [email protected] Domingo 21 Ordinario PROCLAIM GOD’S GLORY A threefold message develops in today’s readings. First, everyone is called to proclaim God’s glory and receive salvation. Second, salvation is not for the unprepared. Like a loving parent, God gently corrects and disciplines those who have been called. Usually suffering is part of the formation process. We are to accept it as Jesus once accepted his cross. Third, some people who imagine themselves saved are really not. The door of salvation has been closed in their faces despite their cries and pleas. On the other hand, some who are treated with contempt and disdain actually do have a place in God’s kingdom. We need to take these lessons to heart. Recall your initial excitement on hearing God’s word. How has the Good News that once caught your fancy taken deeper root in your life? Look again at the crosses you have been given. How are others transformed when they see how you have accepted and grown from your sufferings? Finally, are there some people whom you imagine are not invited to God’s kingdom? Why do you think so? For a moment, imagine them on the inside and yourself on the outside. How might this be possible? Always try your best to enter by the narrow door. Come and proclaim God’s glory. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Brothers and sisters of every race and language will be brought to Jerusalem (Isaiah 66:18-21). Psalm — Go out to all the world and tell the Good News (Psalm 117). Second Reading — Be strong and endure your trials as the “discipline” of a loving God. (Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13). Gospel — People from east and west, north and south, recline at table in the kingdom of God (Luke 13:22-30).
PROCLAMA LA GLORIA DE DIOS Un triple mensaje se desarrolla en las lecturas de hoy. Primero, todos somos llamados a proclamar la gloria de Dios y recibir la salvación. Segundo, la salvación no es para los que no están preparados. Como un padre amante, Dios corrige con
bondad y disciplina a los que hemos sido llamados. Usualmente sufrir es parte del proceso de formación. Debemos aceptarlo así como una vez Jesús aceptara su cruz. Tercero, algunas personas que se imaginan salvadas no lo están en realidad. Se les cerró la puerta de la salvación en su propia cara a pesar de sus llantos y quejas. Por otra parte, algunos que son tratados con desdeño actualmente tienen un lugar en el Reino de Dios. Necesitamos tomar en serio estas lecciones. Recuerda tu entusiasmo inicial cuando escuchaste la Palabra de Dios. ¿Cómo la Buena Nueva, que una vez te fascinó, ha echado raíces en tu vida? Observa otra vez las cruces que te han sido dadas. ¿Cómo se transforman los otros cuando ven cómo has aceptado y crecido en tus sufrimientos? Finalmente, ¿te imaginas que hay gente no invitada al Reino de Dios? ¿Por qué crees que es así? Por un momento, imagínalas adentro y a ti afuera. ¿Cómo es esto posible? Esfuérzate siempre por entrar por la puerta angosta. Ven y proclama la gloria de Dios. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Hermanos y hermanas de todas las razas e idiomas acudirán a Jerusalén (Is 66:18-21). Salmo — Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el Evangelio (Salmo 117 [116]). Segunda lectura — Sé fuerte y soporta las pruebas como la “disciplina” de un Dios amoroso (Hebreos 12:5-7, 11-13). Evangelio — Gente del este y el oeste, del norte y del sur se sentarán a la mesa del Reino de Dios (Lucas 13:22-30).

Funny Side of Life!
Una vez un niño que le habían regalado una bicicleta y salió a estrenarla y le grita a su mamá:
“¡Mamá, mira sin una mano!” Y el niño siguió y siguió. “¡Mamá, mira sin dos manos!” Y al poco rato llegó con su mamá y le dijo: “¡Mamá, shin dientesh!”
A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, “How many women can a man marry?” “Sixteen,” the boy responded. His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly. “How do you know that?”“ Easy,” the little boy said. “All you have to do is add it up, like the Bishop said,4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer.”
