Au g u s t 21, 2016 TWENTY- FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Reflection for the 21 Sunday in Ordinary Time st
God treats you as sons. (Hebrews 12:7)
“Relationship.” The dictionary defines this word as “the way in
which two or more people talk to, behave toward, and deal with
each other.” Relationships can be formal, as in a business
relationship, or they can be personal and intimate, as in a father’s
relationship with his children. W hile we often think of our
relationship with God in the first way, he wants it to be more like
the second.
Do you know that you are cherished by God? Do you know that
he enjoys spending time with you, showing you his love, and
providing for you? This is who God is; he loves treating you as his
child—so much so that he makes it a point to try to teach you and
form you so that you can “grow up” to be just like him.
As with any other parent, part of God’s parenting involves
discipline. It only makes sense that he would want to correct us
when we stray—he loves us too much to ignore us. So often,
when we think of discipline, we think of punishment and pain. But
God’s discipline is life-giving. It doesn’t cause shame, it brings
hope. It brings the promise of greater peace and contentment
because it helps us become more of the person God has created
us to be.
How does our Father discipline us? He may prompt us to ask a
friend for forgiveness. He may give us a conscience twinge when
we consider watching an inappropriate movie or wasting time
surfing the Internet. He may allow difficult circumstances that
cause us to look to him for grace instead of relying on our own
strength. He may also allow us to suffer the consequences of our
sin as a way of teaching us and forming us. In all these ways, our
heavenly Father seeks to love us and teach us.
“Father, thank you for calling me your child. I don’t want anything
to come between us. Help me to accept your loving discipline.”

What's wrong with Assisted SuicideMany citizens legitimately ask, “What’s wrong withassisted suicide?” If this is purely a private matter,then the only people who can be harmed are thosewho request it. Assisted suicide is not purely aprivate matter. It affects huge vulnerable populationswho will experience new pressures and financialincentives to die. Fr. Spitzer will discuss whyassisted-suicide is a fundamental justice issue –giving freedoms to one group that impose onerousburdens to die on other groups – the vulnerable,disabled, and the economically and sociallymarginalized. Friday, Sept. 2, from 7-9 pm at theJohn Paul II Pastoral Centre. To register, visitwww.rcav.org/assisted-suicide

Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el EvangelioAún se sigue atestiguando con el martirio, como lo hizorecientemente el Padre Jacques Hamel. En el boletín del 7de Agosto se nos comenta sobre otros casos de testimonioextremo; Arzobispo Oscar Romero S. J., en 1980 en elSalvador y San Thomas Becket en Inglaterra en 1170. Sepone en nuestro conocimiento que ellos vivieron en carnepropia las palabras proclamadas en la Consagración einstituidas por Cristo; `` éste es mi cuerpo ´´ y `` ésta es misangre ´´. El martirio es parte de la Sagrada Misión delSacerdote.Vale la pena considerar nuestro sacerdocio ordinariootorgado en nuestro bautismo. Viene a mi memoria los 21hombres que fueron decapitados en la playa de Libia a lasorillas del mar mediterráneo el 16 de Febrero del 2015, y,posterior a ellos, otros 28 hombres también fuerondecapitados el 20 de Agosto del 2015 todos ellos porproclamar su fe en Cristo.El evangelio de hoy nos pide proclamar el Evangelio connuestra vida, pero . . . ¿ Estaríamos dispuestos a atestiguarlocon nuestro martirio ?La Palabra en tu vidaAfirmar que la puerta del Reino es estrecha no es un signode pesimismo. Es solamente la prueba de que la vocacióndel hombre es tomada en serio. Dios no es una mercancíaque se adquiere de una vez para siempre. Señor Jesús,ayúdanos a tomar en serio nuestra vida, tal como lo hicisteTú.¿ Conoces Deep Cove ?Sea sí o no tu respuesta la invitación de parte de Génesis esla misma. Queremos aprovechar el buen clima por lo tanto,primero Dios, nos reuniremos en dicho lugar el 17 deSeptiembre para pasar un día de campo platicando conquienes ya conocemos y presentándonos con quienes noestamos familiarizados. Será un paseo de ``traje´´ lo que eninglés se le llama Pot-Luck. ¡ Asegúrate de marcarlo en tucalendario ! Más información la próxima semana.
