Stewardship Reflections 20 Sunday in Ordinary Time “For behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.” Luke 13:30 th

Our standards in our society are so different from God’s standards. We often rate or rank people by what they have, how powerful they are, or how successful they are. Jesus reminds us that God will not judge us by the same earthly standards. Reflexiones de la Corresponsabilidad

200 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "¿Creen que he venido para establecer la paz en la Tierra? Les digo que no, sino la división." Lucas 12:51 Un estilo de vida de servicio significa salir de nuestra zona de confort cuando sea necesario. A muchos de nosotros nos gusta jugar a seguro, no hacer olas, permanecer en el medio de la carretera. En el mundo de hoy estamos llamados a estar informados y a tomar una postura para la vida, el matrimonio y la libertad religiosa.

Reflections by Father Karl 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Last week the gospel challenged us to think about faith and what it is. St. Paul gave us a definition, “Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.” This week, continuing in Hebrews, St. Paul speaks of us being surrounded by “clouds of witnesses” and the presence of these witnesses allowing us to put aside sin and concentrate on Christ. St. Paul points out an essential truth of the Christian Faith—we need the witness of other people in order to believe. Without others in the Church to inspire us and guide us we could not believe. Without the guidance of the Church the events in the History of Salvation would appear to be random footnotes in history. The Holy Spirit teaching through the Church explains these events and allows us to see them as a cohesive whole. We would have no reason to understand the teaching and preaching of the Old Testament prophets, the ministry, the life, death and resurrection of Christ, or the experience of the early Church as being related. We believe that Christ is the Son of God because the Church has told us. We believe that Christ is both God and man because the Church has taught us. We have the scriptures because the early Church decided which writings are inspired and which are not. For the first three centuries of the Christian Church the faith was conveyed mainly by word-of-mouth. The only Jesus we can ever know is the Jesus preached by the Church. The good news is that God calls us as a family, the Church, to be his followers. We don’t need to do this alone; rather, we are surrounded by “clouds of witnesses” who encourage, direct, and guide us each day. 20° domingo del tiempo ordinario La semana pasada, el Evangelio nos desafió a pensar en la fe y lo que significa. San Pablo nos dio una definición: "La fe es la realización de lo que se espera y la evidencia de lo que no se ve." Esta semana, continuando en Hebreos, San Pablo habla de que nosotros estamos rodeados de "nubes de testigos" y la presencia de estos testigos nos permite poner a un lado el pecado y concentrarnos en Cristo. San Pablo señala una verdad esencial de la fe cristiana, necesitamos el testimonio de otras personas con el fin de creer. Sin otros en la Iglesia que nos inspiren y nos guíen, no podríamos creer. Sin la guía de la Iglesia, los acontecimientos en la historia de la salvación parecerían ser las notas al azar de la historia. El Espíritu Santo nos enseñanza a través de la Iglesia, explica estos eventos y nos permite verlos en congruencia como uno solo. No tendríamos ninguna razón para entender y veríamos solo como algo relacionado la enseñanza y predicación de los profetas del Antiguo Testamento, el ministerio, la vida, muerte y resurrección de Cristo, o la experiencia de la Iglesia primitiva. Creemos que Cristo es el Hijo de Dios porque la Iglesia nos lo ha dicho. Creemos que Cristo es Dios y hombre, porque la Iglesia nos lo ha enseñado. Tenemos las escrituras, porque la Iglesia primitiva decidió cuales escritos son inspirados y cuáles no lo son. Durante los tres primeros siglos de la Iglesia cristiana la fe se manifiesta principalmente de palabra. El único Jesús que siempre podremos conocer, es el Jesús predicado por la Iglesia. La buena noticia es que Dios nos llama como una familia, la Iglesia, para ser sus seguidores. No necesitamos hacer esto por sí solos; más bien, estamos rodeados de "nubes de testigos" que nos animan, dirigen y nos guían cada día.
