September 22, 2019 GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF THE POOR

T wo of today’s readings make it quite clear that God is on the side of the poor. Amos describes in detail the exploitation of the poor and needy. The psalm re-

peats that God acts to benefit the poor and lowly. But Luke turns things upside down, telling a tale of a conflicted stew-ard, about to be fired, who demonstrates his cleverness and is rewarded. Like the community to whom Paul writes in Timothy, these readings are personal, directed to believers, members of the Jewish and Christian communities, who struggle to deal with personal choices about how to con-duct their lives. They offer an outline for how God wishes us to live in a world as complicated and as confusing as our own. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

A lthough June is the month most associated with weddings in the United States, September has become more popular in recent years. Wedding celebrations

always require some savvy planning, and people who have a talent for hospitality in the mix. At the wedding feast at Cana, the mother of Jesus was recruited to deal with some of the details of the banquet, and when a very understandable crisis arose, she did what she could to rescue the party. Anyone who has ever run out of ice, dessert, or table settings knows the stress! Slowly, the memory of Jesus Christ’s blessing of this marriage feast led the Church to form a way to bless marriages. A thousand years ago weddings migrated from the family home to the doors of the church, where the celebration was held in public view. From this prac-tice came a prayer called the “Nuptial Blessing,” one of the most sol-emn prayers in our tradition. It is very much like the prayers by which baptismal water and chrism are consecrated, the ordination prayer over a priest, and the Eucharistic Prayers over bread and wine. Four hundred fifty years ago, weddings moved inside the church building. All of this gives married couples good reason to celebrate their anni-versaries well, especially with the clinking of glasses filled with good wine. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION PROGRAM FOR VICTIM-SURVIVORS OF ABUSE BY

DIOCESAN CLERGY (ICP)

A s part of our long-standing commitment to provide pastoral care and to support the healing process for victim-survivors, the Arch-

diocese of Los Angeles, along with five other dioceses in California, is participating in the new Independent Compensation Program by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Diocese of Fresno, Diocese of Orange, Dio-cese of Sacramento, Diocese of San Bernardino, and Diocese of San Diego for Victim-Survivors of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests (ICP). The ICP is adminis-tered independently of the Church by Kenneth Fein-berg and Camille Biros, widely recognized as prem-ier dispute resolution administrators in the country. The program will begin accepting registrations on Monday, September 16, 2019, from any person who has been sexually abused as a minor by diocesan priests of the participating dioceses, no matter when that abuse might have occurred. Funding for the pro-gram in our Archdiocese will come from self-insured reserves, monies set aside for this purpose. We pray that this new program might provide another avenue toward healing and hope. For more information on the ICP, please visit www.californiadiocesesicp.com after September 16th.

DIOS ESTÁ DEL LADO DE LOS POBRES

D os de las lecturas de hoy ponen muy en claro que Dios está del lado de los pobres. Amós describe en detalle el

abuso de los pobres y necesi-tados. El Salmo repite que Dios actúa en beneficio de los pobres y los humildes. Pero Lucas pone las cosas de cabe-za, contando una historia de un mayordomo en conflicto, a punto de ser despedido, que demuestra astucia y es recompensado. Como la co-munidad a la que Pablo escribe en Timoteo, estas lecturas son personales, dirigidas a los creyentes, miembros de las comunidades judías y cristianas que tienen dificultades con elecciones personales de cómo conducir sus vidas. Ofrecen un bosquejo de cómo Dios desea que vivamos en un mundo tan complicado y tan confundido como el nuestro. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

L a última mitad del siglo pasado, nuestro con-tinente vio el derrame de muchísima sangre cristiana. No pode-

mos olvidar la sangre de quienes dieron la vida por el Evangelio de la justicia: Michel Quiroga evangeli-zador colombiano; Agusti-na Rivas monjita peruana; Vicente Matute líder indígena hondureño; Marlene Kegler una universitaria de 23 años argentina. Estos son algunos ejemplos de tantos que murieron creyen-do que la doctrina cristiana no se puede contener en templos y conventos. Dieron la vida por querer vivir su fe en situaciones de discriminación e injusticia. De-rramando su sangre se convirtieron en ángeles de justicia que gritan a Dios uniendo sus voces a la de Abel. Todos estos mártires latinoamericanos murieron a ma-nos de latinoamericanos. Dieron sus vidas, según la mártir chilena Joan Alsina, como granos de trigo. Y desde el cielo ella nos pide: “Esperamos tu solidari-dad. ¿Entiendes ahora lo que significa el Cuerpo de Cristo? Si nosotros nos hundimos es algo de tu espe-ranza la que se hunde. Pero si de las cenizas asumi-mos la vida de nuevo, es algo que nace de nuevo en ustedes.” —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor nunca se olvida del pe-cado de los que hacen trampa a los pobres y abusan de ellos (Amós 8:4-7). Salmo — Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos (Salmo 113 [112]). Segunda lectura — Reza al Señor, que quiere que todos se salven (1 Timoteo 2:1-8). Evangelio — Sé responsable en todo. Sirve a Dios, el único Señor, no al dinero (Lucas 16:1-13 [10-13]).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Esd 1:1-6; Sal 126 (125):1b-6; Lc 8:16-18 Martes: Esd 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Lc 8:19-21 Miércoles: Esd 9:5-9; Tob:13:2, 3-4abefghn, 7-8; Lc 9:1-6 Jueves: Ag 1:1-8; Sal 149 (148):1b-6a, 9b; Lc 9:7-9 Viernes: Ag 2:1-9; Sal 43 (42):1-4; Lc 9:18-22 Sábado: Zac 2:5-9, 14-15a; Jer 31:10-12ab, 13; Lc 9:43b-45 Domingo: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Sal 146 (145):7-10; 1 Tm 6:11-16; Lc 16:19-31 LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: San Pío de Pietralcina (Padre Pío); Comienza el Otoño Jueves: Santos Cosme y Damián Viernes: San Vicente de Paul Sábado: San Wenceslao; Santa María Virgen; San Lorenzo Ruiz y compañeros
