Feast of Saint Paul of the Cross October 19, 2019

Prayer to St. Paul of the Cross

My dear Parishioners, As we here in the parish are preparing to celebrate the Feast Day of our Patron, St. Paul of the Cross and shortly after that, what has become an annual Revival each November, a special synod is going on in Rome, a month-long meeting of bishops and others on the Am-azon region of South America. You must have heard about it; preparations were underway for the past 18 months. It is an extremely important meeting in that it is dealing, really, not simply with concerns about Ama-zonia and its people, but the world and our worldwide Church. Amazonia contains the world’s largest rain-forest and is inhabited with numerous tribes of indige-nous peoples. The formal title of the synod is: “The Amazon: New Paths for the Church and for Integral Ecology.” That has frightened some people including some high ranking Catholic clergy who, apparently think the Church may be wandering too far away from the sacristy. But Holy Father Francis, in his homily at the opening Mass the other day, spoke primarily to the bishops in attendance about “Rekindling our gift in the fire of the Spirit,” rather than “letting things take their course without doing anything.” If you are keeping up with the news—other than what is happening within the D.C. beltway—you know that there are many ur-gent economic, social, and religious issues that compel the Church to confront in that nine-nation area of the world. Pope Francis encouraged the synod participants to act boldly reminding them that “Jesus did not come to bring a gentle evening breeze, but to light a fire on the Earth.” As we are about to celebrate the life of our parish and set about reviving our spirits, we would do well to heed the Holy Father’s urgings. St. Paul of the Cross Parish will soon be marking its 65th anniversary. What has changed since 1955? What needs to change today and tomorrow and the day after as we creatively seek new ways of announcing the Gospel? Come, Holy Spirit! —Fr. Jerome, C.P.

28º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 13 DE OCTUBRE DE 2019

28º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

¿No ha habido quien volviera a dar gloria a Dios más que este extranjero?

El evangelio de este domingo es un relato conocido en el que se nos narra la curacio n de un grupo de diez leprosos en las cercaní as de Samarí a. Lucas no se detiene en los detalles de la curacio n, sino en la reaccio n de uno de los leprosos al verse curado.

Los leprosos viví an fuera de las poblaciones; la lepra es una enfermedad contagiosa, un peligro para la sociedad entera. A esta manera de actuar hacia los excluidos, Jesu s quiere fe - confianza y una respuesta de fidelidad. La respuesta del samaritano resalta la universalidad de la salvacio n de Dios; contrario a la exclusividad de los judí os.

Para el judí o lo importante era el cumplimiento de la Ley. Si un judí o cumplí a la Ley, Dios cumplirí a su promesa de salvacio n. En cambio, para el samaritano, lo fundamental era el don gratuito e incondicional de Dios; al que respondí a con el agradecimiento y la alabanza: “Se volvio alabando a Dios y dando gracias”.

So lo uno volvio para dar gracias, este reconocio a Dios. Los nueve restantes (se supone que eran judí os), se sintieron obligados a cumplir lo que mandaba la ley: presentarse al sacerdote para que les declarara puros y poder volver a formar parte de la sociedad. No basta el cumplir escrupu-losamente las normas, como hací an los fariseos, hay que vivir la presencia de Dios. Todos seguimos teniendo algo de fariseos. Todas las normas, todos los ritos, todas las doctrinas son so lo medios para alcanzar la vida espiritual.

Al celebrar la misa, no se si somos conscientes de que “eucaristí a” significa accio n de gracias. En ella repetimos ma s de quince veces “Sen or, ten piedad”, como los diez leprosos. Alguien venido de fuera, despreciado por los de dentro, es el u nico que sabe reconocer el don recibido de Dios, dando una leccio n a quienes no supieron agradecer. Que de verdad nuestra eucaristí a sea una manifestacio n comunitaria de agradecimiento y alabanza.

Jesús, Maestro, ten piedad de nosotros.

P. Luis, C.P.

Fiesta de San Pablo de la Cruz 19 de octubre de 2019 Oración a San Pablo de la Cruz

¡Oh, buen San Pablo de la Cruz, revelaste las maravillas del poder de Dios al proclamar la pasión de su único Hijo. Por tus palabras y tus poderosos hechos, te convertiste en un guía espiritual y predicador del Evangelio en un mundo indiferente al amor de Jesucristo. Vuelve nuestros corazones y mentes a la cruz misericordiosa de Jesús. Ayúdanos a mantener la fe y el amor, y ayúdanos en cada necesidad. Que al compartir la Pasión de Jesús en esta vida, podamos llegar a participar de la gloria que Él nos ha prometido. Amén.
