32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

In today’s gospel, Jesus is reminding us that God is the God of the living and not of the dead, “for to him all are alive.” All are alive in God…both here and in the here-after. What a great reminder for all of us to ponder. Relationships are transformed into something radically different. The good deeds and words, our response to the love of God in our lives and our faith in the resurrection allow us to face with courage the inevitability of the passing of our earthly lives. As we recognize the changing of the seasons and the life/death cycle of the natural world, let us bring to mind again our faith in the divine presence in us and our belief in the resurrection and in the promise of God’s steadfast presence in our lives, both here and after. It is that steadfast presence we celebrate in this Eucharistic celebration. It brings us to this sacrificial celebration of God’s complete love for humanity. St. Augustine’s words is the assurance of God’s presence in the midst of life transient moments: “Nobody can call back yesterday; today has tomorrow hard on its heels, to make it pass on. In this small space of time let us live good lives, in order to go to him, from whom there is no passing on. Even now while we are talking, we are of course passing on. The words run on, they fly from the mouth; so too our actions, so too our honors, so too our misfortunes, so too this good fortune of ours. It's all passing on, passing by, transient. But let us not panic; the word of the Lord abides forever.”

32 ° Domenica del Tempo Ordinario

Dopo i farisei e gli scribi appaiono nuovi avversari di Gesù: Essi negavano la risurrezione e hanno adottato contro Gesù una diversa strategia di lotta. I sadducei temevano che l’affluenza delle folle verso Gesù potesse trasformarsi in agitazione politica che i Romani avrebbero soffocato brutalmente. Perciò miravano a limitare l’influenza di Gesù sulla vita pubblica. A questo scopo, hanno raccontato una storia di loro invenzione sui sette fratelli e la moglie del maggiore fra loro,

ripromettendosi così di mettere in ridicolo Gesù e la credenza nella risurrezione. In realtà, la derisione si è rivolta contro gli avversari di Gesù. Egli dimostra infatti che il mondo futuro non è il prolungamento di questo, afferma che la morte sarà vinta e che coloro che risusciteranno avranno parte alla vita di Dio e non saranno più sottomessi alle leggi biologiche di questo mondo. Nel seguito del discorso, fondandosi sull’ Esodo (Es 3,6), libro che i sadducei consideravano sacro, Gesù presenta un argomento biblico sulla vita eterna: “Dio non è Dio dei morti”, e lo sarebbe se Abramo, Isacco e Giacobbe non vivessero più. Ma essi vivono e rendono gloria a Dio. Ciò significa anche che solo chi vive per Dio, vive davvero. Dio invita tutti gli uomini alla sua casa paterna, perché desidera che noi tutti beneficiamo con lui della pienezza della vita nell’immortalità.

A Holy Door is a special door in a cathedral, basilica or

other parish of special significance that becomes a

pilgrimage site during a Jubilee Year. Walking through the

Holy Door during a Jubilee Year is one of the conditions

for receiving a Jubilee Indulgence.

Jubilee Indulgence

A Jubilee entails the granting of indulgences.To gain an indulgence is to experience the holiness of the Church, who bestows upon all the fruits of Christ’s redemption, so that God’s love and forgiveness may extend everywhere. Let us live this Jubilee intensely, before its closing, begging the Father to forgive our sins and to bathe us in his merciful “indulgence.”

How to obtain Indulgence: In addition to passing through a Holy Door, each pilgrim is to:

1. receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, 2. receive the Holy Eucharist while reflecting on God's great gift

of mercy, 3. make a profession of faith , the Creed. 4. pray for the Holy Father and for his intentions (an Our Father

and a Hail Mary are recommended).

La porta Santa e’ la porta di una basilica o di una chiesa particolare che viene aperta solo in occasione di un Giubileo. La Porta Santa ha un significato ben preciso:e’ il simbolo del passaggio che ogni cristiano deve fare dal peccato alla grazia, pensando a Gesu’ che dice: “Io sono la porta”. (Giov.10,7)

COME OTTENERE INDULGENZA NELL’ANNO SANTO Si richiede:

1. di passare dalla Porta Santa 2. Ricevere il sacramento della Confessione 3. Ricevere la Santa Communione 4. Recitare il Credo degli Apostoli 5. Pregare per l’intenzione del Santo Padre

Un Padre Nostro, Ave Maria E’ importante di completare queste condizioni nello stesso

giorno che si passa dalla Porta Santa

On the lighter side....... A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wares. As he walked up to the next house, he noticed a small boy sitting on the front steps. "Is your mother home?" the salesman asked the small boy. "Yeah, she's home," the boy said, scooting over to let him past. The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then again. Still no one came to the door. Turning to the boy, the fellow said, "I thought you said your mother was home!?" The kid replied, "She is; but this isn't where I live."
