HOUSEHOLDS IN GOD’S SERVICE In the ancient world, “household” was a wide-reaching concept. When Joshua today speaks of his household serving the Lord, he meant not just those peo-ple who lived inside his walls or those related to him by blood or marriage; he meant slaves or servants and their families, and anyone indebted to him in any way. Even his livestock and other possessions would be consecrat-ed to service of God. In our world, we value allowing individuals their freedom to choose how they live, and wouldn’t think of offering our pets to the service of God. But, as we discern our vocation as disciples bap-tized into Christ, we can come to realize how far-ranging the “households” of our lives still are: how we act toward our spouses, children, roommates or anyone we live with; our behavior with neighbors; or in public as we encounter many “strangers” every day in stores or traffic who suddenly are “next door” to us. How can we use our time, our resources, or gifts for selfless reasons rather than personal gain? No matter what life our wit-ness to the Good News calls us to, we all have a “household” that must be consecrated to service of the Lord our God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Página 3 Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 26 de agosto de 2018

CASAS AL SERVICIO DE DIOS Antiguamente, la palabra “familia” tenía un significado muy amplio. Cuando Josué habla hoy de que su familia servirá al Señor, no se refería solo a las personas que vivían dentro de sus paredes ni a sus parientes de sangre o políticos; se refería a los esclavos o criados y sus familias y cualquier persona que estuviera en deuda con él por algún motivo. Incluso su ganado y demás bienes debían consagrarse a servir a Dios. En nuestro mundo, valoramos mucho la libertad de los individuos para elegir de qué manera vivir y no se nos ocurriría poner a nuestras mascotas al servicio de Dios. Pero, al dis-cernir nuestra vocación como discípulos bautizados en Cristo, llegamos a com-prender la diversidad de las “familias” de nuestra vida: la manera en que obra-mos con nuestros cónyuges, hijos, compañeros de habitación o con quien sea que vivamos; nuestro comportamiento con los vecinos o en público ya que cada día nos topamos con muchos “extraños” en los negocios o en la calle, quienes de repente se convierten en “el vecino”. ¿De qué manera podemos usar nuestro tiempo, recursos o dones con fines desinteresados en vez de con el fin de obte-ner algún beneficio personal? Sin importar en qué clase de vida demos testimo-nio de la Buena Nueva, todos tenemos una “familia” que debe consagrarse al servicio del Señor, nuestro Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

S T E W A R D S H I P A W A Y O F L I F E Hunger for Christ - As human beings, we seem to have a wide array of insa able desires. We long for more money, more me, and more stuff. We spend millions of dollars each year on remedies for our over-ea ng. We look to our neighbors to see what they have that we want so we can keep up with them in the race toward happiness. We look for instant gra fica on only to find that our hunger for whatever it is remains intact. Stewardship is the pathway to curbing all those cravings. On this journey, we let go of things that keep us ed down to this world and ed up in our sin. All that we have becomes instruments for God to use in our lives and the lives of our neighbors. When we have detached from enough in this world, we find out the truth: nothing on earth can truly sa sfy our cravings completely. Jesus Christ is the sole answer for our needs and desires. Although the truth is right in front of us at each and every Mass in the Eucharist, we can easily spend our days in denial of that truth. It takes trust to step out in faith and give it all over to God. We are all called to let go and let God be God. Answering the call is easier said than done. However, if we can finally make that bold move, we will find ourselves completed by the One who was with us all along. • Tracy Earl Welliver/ LPI
