July 24, 2011 A SHARE IN

GOD’S KINGDOM Today concludes a three-week

series of Gospel texts in which we have listened to a total of seven

parables about the kingdom. The believer is asked to consider the

request that God made of Solomon in today’s first reading:

“Ask something of me and I will give it to you” (1 Kings 3:5).

Today’s parables about the treasure buried in the field and the pearl of

great price should prompt us to answer, “A share in your kingdom, O God!” Today we discover that the kingdom of God is beyond

value, a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, our culture

bombards us with things that it believes are priceless treasures—

the bigger and better SUVs, anti-aging and

anti-balding creams and salves, miracle diets, and so much more. Having

a share in God’s kingdom and helping to

bring about that kingdom are the

greatest treasures that we can ever hope to gain. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

PARTICIPACIÓN EN EL REINO

Hoy concluye la tercera semana de una serie de textos del Evangelio en que hemos escuchado un total de siete parábolas sobre el Reino. Se pide al creyente que considere

el pedido que Dios hace a Salomón en la Primera Lectura de hoy:

“pídeme lo que quieras, y yo te lo daré” (1 Reyes 3:5). Las parábolas de hoy sobre el tesoro enterrado en el campo y la perla de gran precio nos debería empujar a responder: “¡Una participación en tu Reino,

oh Dios!”. Hoy descubrimos que el Reino de Dios es invalorable, un

tesoro que no tiene precio. Desafortunadamente, nuestra

cultura nos bombardea con cosas que considera tesoros

inapreciables: vehículo utilitario deportivo, cremas

antiarrugas y contra la calvicie, dietas

milagrosas, y mucho, mucho más. Tener una participación en el Re-ino de Dios y contribuir

a la venida del Reino son los mayores tesoros

que jamás podamos esperar ganar.

DID YOU KNOW?

Road to Priesthood Involves a Rigorous Formation Process

` Seminary formation involves much more than academic study. Prior to ordination, a

candidate for priesthood goes through a lengthy evaluation

period, including an internship during which he lives in a

rectory and works with priests, staff and parishioners. During

this time, the candidate is judged as to his suitability to be

a priest. No one is ordained unless the staff of St. John’s Seminary, including the lay

faculty and formation advisers, concludes that the candidate has attained an emotional, psychological and sexual

maturity appropriate for his age and for the celibate life of a priest. For more information,

please visit www.la-archdiocese.org

and click on the “Vocations” tab. For particular help,

you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

El Camino al Sacerdocio Involucra Un Proceso de

Formación Riguroso La formación en el seminario requiere más que los estudios

académicos. Antes de la ordenación, el candidato al

sacerdocio debe pasar por un largo proceso de evaluación,

incluyendo un internado durante el cual él vive en la rectoría y

trabaja con sacerdotes, empleados y feligreses de la parroquia.

Durante este tiempo el candidato es evaluado sobre su

compatibilidad para ser sacerdote. Nadie es ordenado sin que el personal del Seminario de St. John, incluyendo el personal

laico y los consejeros de formación, concluya que el

candidato haya madurado de un modo apropiado a su edad

emocionalmente, psicológicamente, y en su

sexualidad, y para la vida de celibato de un sacerdote.
