17th Sunday In Ordinary Time

17o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Jornada Mundial de la Juventud Cracovia, “Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia” Esta semana la Iglesia universal se encamina solidariamente en oración hacia la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud a realizarse en Cracovia, la ciudad donde fue arzobispo san Juan Pablo II el fundador de este evento mundial para jóvenes. El tema de este año de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud coincide con el del Jubileo de la Misericordia: “Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia” (Mateo 5:7) El Evangelio de hoy hace eco al mismo tema, como Jesús une la oración con la misericordia en “la parábola del Amigo Persistente”. Jesús nos enseña además de las palabras para orar, aquellas acciones que deben coincidir con una autentica oración. Que hermosa es la imagen que Jesús presenta de Dios en quien se puede confiar hacer aquello que es lo mejor para nosotros. Un vecino inoportuno que va a despertar a su amigo e irrumpe en su casa. Aún así surgen bellas imágenes. La oración perseverante tiene una respuesta activa, recibe misericordia en panes; recordando de Lucas la única referencia a la Eucaristía “al partir el pan” (Lucas 24:35, Hechos —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. 2:42). La JMJ16 Cracovia, el Jubileo, y Jesús de TODAY’S READINGS este modo se unen para definir la perfecta First Reading - Abraham bargains with God oración como una comunión perseverante con to spare the city (Genesis 18:20-32). Dios y la misericordia incondicional hacia Psalm - Lord, on the day I called for help, you nuestro prójimo. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. answered me (Psalm 138). Second Reading - Buried with Christ in baptism, we were also raised with him; all our transgressions are forgiven (Colossians 2:12-14). Gospel - Jesus speaks of God’s sure response to those who pray (Luke 11:113).

World Youth Day in Krakow: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World Youth Day in Krakow, where WYD’s founder, Saint John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme coincides with that of Pope Francis’ Jubilee of Mercy: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). Today’s Gospel echoes the same theme, as Jesus unites prayer with mercy in “The parable of the persistent friend.” Jesus teaches us not only what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer. How beautifully downto-earth is Jesus’ portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for us. A pesky neighbor disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical mercy in loaves of bread, recalling Luke’s unique expression for the Eucharist, “the breaking of bread” (Luke 24:35; Acts 2:42). WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy toward our neighbor.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Some mes when bishops are consecrated, they are not given the care of a diocese as an “ordinary.” A very old tradi on, however, assures that they are invested with a “see,” a link with a local church. Many hundreds of places around the world were dioceses at one me, but are no longer. In England, for example, some of the historic dioceses such as London, Salisbury, and Manchester ceased to be Catholic at the Reforma on and their cathedrals passed to the Church of England. The reestablishment of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century meant that new dioceses had to be created, such as at Liverpool and Westminster. Similarly, in Scandinavia the ancient Catholic dioceses vanished under Lutheranism. In North Africa, ny dioceses disappeared under the sands or were swept away by Islam. In the United States, some original dioceses never really developed as popula on centers, such as the old dioceses of Bardstown, Vincennes, Sault Ste. Marie, or Walla Walla. The tradi on of “ tular sees” assures that the ancient churches are always held in prayer, as the bishop celebrates Mass in its memory a few mes a year. LOOK AROUND YOU To see the world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour. —William Blake DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES AT SAVIO MONDAY Catholic Men’s Fellowship meets every 2nd and 4th Monday at 7:00 p.m. in the Science Room.

La vigilancia constante sirve mucho para proteger a sus hijos de depredadores

So much of our society operates on blind trust, and that trust can some mes lead parents to make the wrong choices when it comes to the safety of their children. Far too many predators and abusers hide behind the wellknown and trusted adults. Parents should be vigilant when introducing anyone into their children’s’ lives, and should not ignore any red flags or suspicious behavior. It’s be er to inves gate than to misplace your trust at the expense of your child’s safety.

Muchos depredadores y abusadores se esconden detrás de la fachada de adultos bien conocidos y en quienes se con a. Los padres de familia deben ser vigilantes cuando incluyen a alguien en la vida de sus hijos, y no deben ignorar cualquier banderazo o conducta sospechosa.
