NUESTRA PARROQUÍA www.hispanic-ministry.com 12 de octubre de 2014 Te invito a un banquete Isaias 25: 6-10 El siguiente poema presenta varios temas de importan- cia teológica y espiritual. La primera parte es un himno de acción de gracias semejante a los que se encuentran en el libro de los Salmos. El orante da gracias por la derrota de los enemigos y por el apoyo a los necesitados y menesterosos de la comunidad. El cántico celebra además la caida de una ciudad particular, posiblemente Babilonia, descrita como fortificada y como un alcazar; sin embargo, la falta de claridad en la identificación de la ciudad permite que el texto pueda ser interpretado como una referencia a la capacidad divina de trastornar los ordenamietos humanos y destruir las ciudades que hi- eren al pueblo de Dios. El himno canta asimismo la pro- tección que el Señor ha brindado a su pueblo, cumplien- do así sus promesas de triunfo y liberación. Dios mismo ha vencido al mal y ha derrotado a la ciudad impía, sím- bolo de los poderes que se oponen a la voluntad divina y al ver esta intervención de Dios, las naciones paganas temerán y honrarán al Señor. Filipenses 4: 12-14, 19-20 El tema de esta sección es único: agradecimiento por la ayuda enviada a Pablo por los filipenses y comentarios al margen. En el versí 10 el agradecimiento se expresa en forma de alegría: los filipenses han podido demon- strar concretamente el interes que siempre han tenido por Pablo. Aunque ya en otras ocasiones lo habían hecho, esta vez lo hicieron con una generosidad espe- cial. Luego hay un comentario sobre su propia actitud. No lo hace con la intención de pedir más. Sabe vivir en la pobreza y en la abundancía. La autarkía, es decir, el autogobierno o la independencia, era una virtud espe- cialmente apreciada por los filosófos estoicos. Para Pablo, sin embargo, la autarkía se funda en el Señor, quien le da fuerzas. La sección termina con una alaban- za a Dios. Mateo 22: 1-14 Como los primeros invitados consideran más urgentes otras actividades que la participación en el banquete, los mensajeros son enviados en busca de nuevos comen- sales, tantos buenos como malos. No es frecuente que todos los invitados se niegen a asistir a una fiesta preparada para ellos. Menos verosímil es que los invita- dos de alta sociedad sean sustituidos por los pobres, los tullidos y los desheredados de la fortuna. Estas disonan- cias entre la trama narrativa y la realidad cotidiana revelan la intención narrativa de extrañar al oyente y de producir cieto estupor. Cuando el rey se presenta a salu- dar a sus invitagos, encuentra que uno de los asistentes no tiene el traje de fiesta y se dirige a él llamandolo amigo, una expression que en el Evangelio indica confi- anza y recriminación. Es evidente que se trata de un añadido de Mateo destinado a poner en guardia contra ciertos abusos que se cometían en su comunidad. El juicio de Dios ya no se aplica al pueblojudío, sino a los miembros de la Iglesia. 32 nd Annual Walk for Life Sponsored by Right to Life of Central Kentucky Date: Saturday, October 18. 2014 Time: 9:00 a.m. - Registration 9:30 a.m. - Walk begins Location: 2404 Sir Barton Way, Hamburg, KY The 5K Walk route will begin at Forcht Bank to Lobby on Sir Barton Way and back again.
