Twenty-third Sunday in

Ordinary Time

Each of us is our brother’s (and sister’s)

keeper. Today we hear God calling us to be responsi-

ble for each other. No one should be left on their own

to fail; we are called to pick each other up, to help each

other out. This Labor Day weekend, when we honor

all those who work to do the things that contribute to

society, whether in a factory, on a farm, in an office, at

home, or wherever it may be, let us resolve to work

together in building the kingdom of God. ©2020, World Library Publications

Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del

Tiempo Ordinario

Cada uno de nosotros es guardián de su her-

mano o hermana. Hoy oímos a Dios que nos pide que

seamos responsables los unos por los otros. Nadie

debe de quedar abandonado a su propio fracaso; esta-

mos llamados a ayudarnos mutuamente. En este fin de

semana del Día del Trabajador en que honramos a to-

dos los que laboran para hacer aquellas cosas que con-

tribuyen al bienestar de la sociedad, ya sea en una

fábrica, en un rancho, en una oficina, en el hogar, o

dondequiera que sea, resolvamos trabajar juntos en la

construcción del Reino de Dios. ©2020, World Library Publications & Palabras Pastorales

THE MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS

Although Saint Paul might claim credit for

promoting devotion to the Holy Name be-

cause Paul wrote in Philippians that God

the Father gave Christ Jesus “that name

that is above every name” (see 2:9), this devotion be-

came popular because of 12th century Cistercian monks

and nuns but especially through the preaching of Saint

Bernardine of Siena, a 15th-century Franciscan.

Bernardine used devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus

as a way of overcoming bitter and often bloody class

struggles and family rivalries or vendettas in Italian

city-states. The devotion grew, partly because of

Franciscan and Dominican preachers. It spread even

more widely after the Jesuits began promoting it in the

16th century.

In 1530, Pope Clement V approved an Office of the

Holy Name for the Franciscans. In 1721, Pope Inno-

cent XIII extended this feast to the entire Church. franciscanmedia.org

Ezekiel 33:7-9

Psalm 95

Romans 13:8-10

Matthew 18:15-20

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word

God calls Ezekiel to be watchman for the house of Is-

rael. God wants him to intervene to lead sinners back

to God. Paul reminds us that we are commanded to

love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus tells his disciples

that they must draw sinners to reconciliation with

themselves, each other, and the entire church. As we

listen to today’s readings, let us reflect on whom we

need to be reconciled with and resolve with God’s

grace to do so.

Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra

Dios llama a Ezequiel a ser centinela para la casa de

Israel. Dios quiere que él intervenga para que los peca-

dores regresen a Dios. Pablo nos recuerda que se nos

ha dado el mandato de amar al prójimo como a

nosotros mismos. Jesús les dice a sus discípulos que

deben exhortar a los pecadores para que se reconcilien

consigo, con los demás y con toda la Iglesia. Al es-

cuchar las lecturas de hoy preguntémonos con quiénes

debemos reconciliarnos y hagamos la resolución de

hacerlo con la gracia de Dios.

this, we are not tired of reminding everyone to observe

the safety guidelines. We strongly ask everyone to

receive Holy Communion in the hand and must leave

their mask on when approaching the priest; after re-

ceiving the Sacred Host, move to the side, lower the

mask and consume the Sacred Host, then put back the

mask and return to your seat.

La seguridad de todos es primordial. Por eso le recor-

damos que todos deberán observar las reglas de seguri-

dad. Le rogamos que todos reciban la Sagrada Comu-

nión en la mano. Deberán permanecer con la máscara

hasta llegar al frente del sacerdote. Después de acep-

tar la Hostia Sagrada, moverse para el lado antes de

quitar la máscara para consumir la Hostia Sagrada.

Inmediatamente, colocar la máscara y regresar a su

asiento.

Social distancing is to be kept. Six feet distance is re-
