STEWARDSHIP / CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Gratitude in Action: Our Way of Life / Gratitud en Acción: Nuestra forma de Vida
Living a life of stewardship speaks not of wealth of
possessions – money, material goods, real estate; nor does
it speak of poverty with regard to the same. Stewardship
identifies a way of life that recognizes everything comes
from God. Our food and clothing, cars and trucks,
vacations, houses, recreational toys, are all gifts from God
who loves us and calls us sons and daughters.
Stewardship calls us to acknowledge God as Father and
Provider, Giver of all that is good. When we do this and
share what we have so others may also enjoy, we become
generous, accountable stewards and find favor with God.
In the act of sharing, we also give back to God what He
has already, so graciously and lovingly given us.
Our sharing may be giving someone money, a place to
stay, transportation, perhaps a ride to Mass. It may be
food, water, lunch or dinner out for someone to celebrate a
special occasion, or no occasion at all. It may be time
spent sitting and talking with someone. It may be a time to
merely sit and listen, allowing someone else to delight in
conversation about something special or significant in
their life.
Stewardship is a life of selfless giving to others. These
others may be your child, your spouse, your parent, a
friend or a stranger. Do you have the time to “be” for that
someone who needs you?
The direct opposite of selfless giving is Greed, the second
Capital sin. Can we spare the money? Can we spare the
time for lunch or dinner, conversation, or perhaps, prayer?
Can we recognize others’ needs?
“Against the values of the world, Jesus gave up his power
in heaven to live as a poor outcast on earth. Loving his
people as a shepherd loves his sheep, he led with mercy
over judgment, justice over greed, reconciliation over
exclusion, and humble service over heavy demands. He
associated with the weak and the lowly while criticizing
the rich and haughty, announcing a kingdom turned
upside down in which the last shall be first and the first
shall be last. In his final act of humility, he laid down his
life so that others might live, telling his disciples to do the
same.
Against the values of the world, Jesus Christ came
preaching and showing that greatness is not found in
power, wealth, and prestige, but in weakness, poverty, and
humble service to the lost and forgotten.”1
1Called: What Happens After Saying Yes to God by Casey Cole,
OFM
Carole Drake
Pastoral Assistant and Community Outreach
Vivir una vida de corresponsabilidad no habla de la
riqueza de las posesiones: dinero, bienes materiales,
bienes raíces; Tampoco se habla de pobreza con respecto
a la misma. La corresponsabilidad identifica una forma
de vida que reconoce que todo proviene de Dios.
Nuestra comida y ropa, automóviles y camiones,
vacaciones, casas, juguetes recreativos, son todos
regalos de Dios que nos ama y nos llama hijos e hijas.
La corresponsabilidad nos llama a reconocer a Dios
como Padre y Proveedor, Dador de todo lo que es
bueno. Cuando hacemos esto y compartimos lo que
tenemos para que otros también lo disfruten, nos
convertimos en corresponsables generosos y responsables y
encontramos el favor de Dios. En el acto de compartir,
también le devolvemos a Dios lo que Él ya nos ha dado,
tan gentil y amorosamente nos ha entregado.
Nuestro intercambio puede ser darle dinero a alguien, un
lugar para quedarse, transporte, tal vez un viaje a Misa.
Puede ser comida, agua, almuerzo o cena para que
alguien celebre una ocasión especial, o ninguna ocasión.
Puede ser tiempo dedicado a sentarse y hablar con alguien.
Puede ser un momento para simplemente sentarse y
escuchar, permitiendo que otra persona se deleite en
conversar sobre algo especial o significativo en su vida.
La corresponsabilidad es una vida de entrega desinteresada
a los demás. Estos otros pueden ser su hijo, su cónyuge, su
padre, un amigo o un extraño. ¿Tienes tiempo para “ser”
para esa persona que te necesita?
El opuesto directo de la entrega desinteresada es la
codicia, el segundo pecado capital. ¿Podemos ahorrar el
dinero? ¿Podemos perder el tiempo para el almuerzo o la
cena, la conversación o quizás la oración? ¿Podemos
reconocer las necesidades de los demás?
“Contra los valores del mundo, Jesús renunció a su
poder en el cielo para vivir como un marginado pobre
en la tierra. Amando a su pueblo como un pastor ama a
sus ovejas, condujo con misericordia sobre el
juicio, la justicia exagerada, la reconciliación sobre la
exclusión y el servicio humilde sobre las demandas
pesadas. Se asoció con los débiles y humildes mientras
criticaba a los ricos y altaneros, anunciando un
reino al revés en el que el último será el primero y el
primero será el último. En su último acto de humildad,
dio su vida para que otros pudieran vivir, y les dijo a
sus discípulos que hicieran lo mismo.
En contra de los valores del mundo, Jesucristo vino
predicando y mostrando que la grandeza no se
encuentra en el poder, la riqueza y el prestigio, sino en
la debilidad, la pobreza y el servicio humilde a los
perdidos y olvidados”.1
The 18th
Sunday in Ordinary Time
The cake is frosted, the guests have arrived, and the gifts
are piled high. One by one, the packages are opened, and
one by one, the child reaches for another. Who among us
hasn't seen a child who appears crestfallen when the gifts
run out? Even the abundance isn't quite enough. Today's
Gospel tackles a key question in the spiritual life -
grateful or greedy?
"There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful
harvest." We all recognize the need to be practical.
Raising a family, there's need to save for all sorts of
things beyond normal day-to-day costs - medical bills,
family vacations, private school, rainy day funds,
retirement. Jesus doesn't critique the rich man for simply
having an abundant harvest. It's his mentality. Does the
rich man sell off the extra to make the needed repairs to
the back fence or to invest in some additional livestock to
grow the business? Perhaps donate some of the excess to
the poor? No. "You have so many good things stored up
for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!" The man
wants to hoard and indulge with no concern for others.
Jesus doesn't condemn prudent saving or owning
necessary items. He calls us to purify our attitudes.
"Guard against all greed... one's life does not consist of
possessions." We are called to be good stewards. This
means being practical. It also means remaining open to
God's invitation with our resources. Are we tithing to our
parish? Do we give alms to the poor? Does our weekly
entertainment far outstrip what we offer to others? Life is
not about "stor[ing] up treasure for [our]selves." The
more we grow in gratitude and generosity, the more we
become "rich in what matters to God."
18º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Seguimos avanzando en la enseñanza del Evangelio de
Lucas. Poco a poco nos lleva hacia Jerusalén y Jesús
proclama el Reino de Dios con sus enseñanzas y
curaciones. Vale que recordemos la frase tan repetida
en muchas ocasiones para nosotros: "Donde está tu
tesoro, allí estará también tu corazón." (Lucas 12:34).
La vida no nos impide el poseer, sino el no saber
compartir lo que Dios, con su infinita misericordia, nos
da por medio de nuestro trabajo cotidiano. A lo largo
de la existencia, esta ha sido la lucha del ser humano
que acumula tanto que no haya donde ponerlo. Hace
planes, proyectos y sueños pensando que vivirá en esta
tierra para siempre. Sin embargo, no es así. Mira lo que
dice el ejemplo de este domingo: "¡Pobre loco! Esta
misma noche te reclaman tu alma. ¿Quién se quedará
con lo que has preparado?" (Lucas 12:20).
Hoy reflexionemos en lo importante de la experiencia
humana. Con el paso de los años, continuamente
tenemos falsas expectativas sobre lo que es la vida. La
vida es un suspiro y pasa de prisa. Por lo tanto,
debemos pensar que todo lo que vivimos es pasajero y
que lo verdadero es acumular para el cielo. No hay que
asustarse sino proponerse al cambio girando el corazón
a Dios. El reto es ser rico en lo que vale a los ojos de
Dios. ¿Cómo? Bueno, comenzando con algo simple:
trabajar con honradez, no hacer trampas, ser fieles,
tender la mano al que lo necesita sin esperar
recompensa por todo. La participación en la Eucaristía
nos abre la mente a lo verdadero, que es la sabiduría
revelada por Dios.

SEASONAL REFLECTION
Celebrating Saint Dominic
On August 8th, we celebrate a burning heart and a radical life! Dominic Guzman was born in
1170 to a Spanish noble family. From a young age, Dominic had a sense of Gospel values. A
famine struck the country when Dominic was a university student. He sold his clothes, his
furniture, and even his manuscripts to buy food for the poor. Dominic also attempted (twice!) to
sell himself into slavery as barter for the freedom of others. He became a monk and was
commissioned by the Pope to preach throughout southern France, where false Christian teachings
had taken root. He founded a house for authentic Catholic education, which would become the
first location of his new order - the Order of Preachers, now known by the title Dominicans.
Dominic and his followers traveled throughout Europe preaching, teaching, and calling
people back to a life of conversion, prayer, and virtue. Saint Dominic, pray for us!
Next weekend’s special collection is for the Retirement Fund for Religious. Please give generously to those that have given a lifetime.
La colección especial del próximo fin de semana es para el Fondo de Retiro para los Religiosos. Por favor dona generosamente a aquellos que han dado toda una vida.
