Clergy Health and Retirement Trust

Across Greater Boston, we are blessed with priests who enliven and enrich not only our parishes but our surrounding communities. Through their ministry, they work tirelessly to bring Christ’s love to all those who need it. Truly, the strength and vibrancy of our parishes and broader communities depend on the health and well-being of our priests.

Please support our priests by making a gift to the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust at clergytrust.org or by giving generously to the upcoming special collection this weekend.

This dedicated second collection is a primary source of funding to care for our priests. Your generosity is very much appreciated.

By Dr. Scott Hahn Seeking the Lost

Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle C) Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14 Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 17, 19 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Luke 15:1-10

The episode in today's First Reading has been called "Israel's original sin." Freed from bondage, born as a people of God in the covenant at Sinai, Israel turned aside from His ways, fell to worshipping a golden calf. Moses implores God's mercy, as Jesus will later intercede for the whole human race, as He still pleads for sinners at God's right hand and through the ministry of the Church. Israel's sin is the sin of the world. It is your sin and mine. Ransomed from death and made His children in Baptism, we fall prey to the idols of this world. We remain a "stiff-necked people," resisting His will for us like an ox refuses the plowman's yoke (see Jeremiah 7:26). Like Israel, in our sin we push God away, reject our divine sonship. Once He called us "my people" (see Exodus 3:10; 6:7). But our sin makes us "no people," people He should, in justice, disown (see Deuteronomy 32:21; 1 Peter 2:10). Yet in His mercy, He is faithful to the covenant He swore by His own self in Jesus. In Jesus, God comes to Israel and to each of us - as a shepherd to seek the lost (see Ezekiel 34:11-16), to carry us back to the heavenly feast, the perpetual heritage promised long ago to Abraham's children. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," Paul cries in today's Epistle. These are the happiest words the world has ever known. Because of Jesus, as Paul himself can testify, even the blasphemer and persecutor can seek His mercy. As the sinners do in today's Gospel, we draw near to listen to Him. In this Eucharist, we bring Him the acceptable sacrifice we sing of in today's Psalm - our hearts, humbled and contrite. In the company of His angels and saints, we rejoice that He has wiped out our offense, celebrate with Him - that we have turned from the evil way that we might live (see Ezekiel 18:23).

Fondo de salud y jubilación del clero

En todo el Gran Boston, somos bendecidos con sacerdotes que animan y enriquecen no solo nuestras parroquias sino también las comunidades de los alrededores. A través de su ministerio, trabajan incansablemente para llevar el amor de Cristo a todos los que lo necesitan. Verdaderamente, la fuerza y la vitalidad de nuestras parroquias y comunidades más amplias dependen de la salud y el bienestar de nuestros sacerdotes. Por favor, apoye a nuestros sacerdotes haciendo un regalo al Clergy Health and Retirement Trust en clergytrust.org o dando generosamente a la próxima colección especial del 14/15 de septiembre. Esta segunda colección dedicada es una fuente principal de fondos para cuidar a nuestros sacerdotes. Su generosidad es muy apreciada.

By Dr. Scott Hahn Buscando a los perdidos. 24o Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle C)

Éxodo 32,7–11.13–14 Salmo 51,3–4.12–13.17.19 1 Timoteo 1,12–17 Lucas 15,1–10

El episodio de la primera lectura del domingo ha sido llamado “el pecado original de Israel”. Liberado de la esclavitud, nacido como pueblo de Dios en la Alianza del Sinaí, Israel se apartó de sus caminos y cayó al adorar un becerro de oro. Moisés implora la misericordia de Dios, como Jesús intercederá después por toda la raza humana; como

ahora, sentado a la derecha del Padre, aboga por los pecadores mediante el ministerio de la Iglesia. El pecado de Israel es el pecado del mundo. Es tu pecado y el mío. Aunque hemos sido rescatados de la muerte y convertidos en sus hijos por el Bautismo, caemos en las trampas de los ídolos de este mundo. Seguimos siendo un pueblo “de dura cerviz” que se resiste a su Voluntad, como un buey rechaza la yunta del labrador (cfr. Jr 7,26). Como Israel, en nuestro pecado intentamos alejar a Dios, rechazamos nuestra filiación divina. Antes, Él nos había llamado “mi pueblo” (cfr. Ex 3,10; 6,7). Pero nuestro pecado nos hace “no pueblo”, pueblo que Él en justicia debería repudiar (cfr. Dt 32,21; 1Pe 2,10). Sin embargo Dios, por su misericordia, es fiel a la alianza que juró por Sí mismo en Jesús. En Él, Dios viene a Israel y a cada uno de nosotros, como pastor que busca los que se han perdido (cfr. Ez 34,11-16), para conducirnos de vuelta al banquete celestial, a la herencia perpetua prometida mucho tiempo atrás a los hijos de Abraham. “Cristo Jesús vino al mundo para salvar a los pecadores”, grita Pablo en la epístola del domingo. Esas son las palabras más felices que el mundo ha conocido jamás. Por Jesús, como Pablo mismo testifica, incluso el blasfemo y persecutor pueden buscar misericordia. Como los pecadores del Evangelio de esta semana, nos acercamos a Jesús para escucharle. En esta Eucaristía le traemos el sacrificio agradable del que cantamos en el salmo de hoy: nuestros corazón contrito y humillado. En la compañía de sus ángeles y santos, nos alegramos porque ha borrado nuestras ofensas; celebramos con Él que hemos regresado del camino malvado para que pudiéramos vivir (cfr. Ez 18,23).

Healthier Priests. Stronger Communities.

Funds from this special collection are managed by the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust – an independently managed trust with a majority lay board of trustees. The funds are used for the sole benefit of active and senior priests in good standing.

The strength and vibrancy of our communities depend largely on the welfare of our priests who tirelessly serve others from all walks of life.

Powerful examples of strength in community are visible across 144 cities and towns of the Archdiocese of Boston. The roots of these communities can be traced back to the work of our priests.

Pine Street Inn: A Boston priest was one of the original founders of Pine Street Inn, which provides shelter and emergency services for nearly 2,000 homeless men and women in the Boston area every day.

Cor Unum: Started by a Lawrence pastor, Cor Unum (“One Heart”) food pantry serves more than 250,000 meals annually to poverty-stricken families in Lawrence.

Addiction Support for Families: A Boston priest’s expertise in addiction and recovery has been instrumental for organizations helping families and individuals in the grips of addiction.

Rostro de Cristo: Efforts to help the poor on the margins of Ecuador’s largest city is hard work, except for those who have been inspired by a Boston priest who started Rostro de Cristo, an organization based in Boston that lives the Gospel and serves the poor.

It’s simple: healthier priests mean stronger communities. Please support clergytrust.org
