DOERS OF THE WORD The second reading for today begins a five-week series of selec-tions from James, a letter that is classified among the so-called “catholic” (or univer-sal) epistles because they are addressed to a general audience rather than to one particular commu-nity. Today’s text offers important advice for Christians of every generation. God is first cited as the author of all gifts, and in particular, reference is made to the gift of baptism by which we have been made the “first fruits” of the new creation. What follows is advice based on a very Jewish under-standing of the “word” as an active force, operative in the world. We are reminded that unless we, too, become “doers” of the word, our claim to faith is empty. Today and in subsequent weeks the author reminds us that it is equally important to do the “works” of love, for example, by caring for the “orphans and widows in their affliction.” Copyright © J. S.

PRACTIQUEN LA PALABRA La segunda lectura de hoy comienza una serie de cinco semanas de selecciones de la Carta de Santiago que se clasifica entre las epístolas llamadas “católicas” (o univer-sales) porque están dirigidas a un público general y no a una comunidad en particular. El texto de hoy ofrece con-sejos importantes para los cristianos de todas las genera-ciones. Dios es citado por primera vez como autor de todos los dones, y en particular, se hace referencia al don del bautismo, por el que somos las “primicias” de la nue-va creación. Lo que sigue es un consejo basado en un entendimien-to muy judío de la “palabra” como una fuerza activa, operativa en el mundo. Se nos recuerda que a menos que nosotros también nos convirtamos en “practicantes” de la palabra, nuestra profesión de fe no vale nada. Hoy y en las próximas semanas el autor nos recuerda que es igualmente importante que hacer las “obras” del amor, por ejemplo, cuidar de los “huérfanos y las viudas en sus tribulaciones”.—Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

29 de Agosto del 2021 “Acepten dócilmente la palabra que ha sido

“SAY THE WORD AND MY SOUL SHALL BE HEALED” CATECHETICAL SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to re-flect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. This year, the Church will celebrate Cate-chetical Sunday on September 19, 2021, and the theme is: “Say the Word and My Soul Shall be Healed." Those who the parish community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commis-sioned for their ministry. They will be called and blessed in front of the community. We invite all Cate-chists on that Sunday to come to any of the Masses at Our Lady of the Pillar and receive a special blessing for their wonderful service to the community and the Parish. We are grateful to have so many Catechists who help our children and youth. "DIGAN LA PALABRA Y MI ALMA SERÁ SANADA" DOMINGO CATEQUÉTICO 19 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2021 El Domingo Catequético es una magnífica oportuni-dad para reflexionar sobre el papel que cada persona juega, en virtud del Bautismo, en la transmisión de la fe y en el testimonio del Evangelio. Este año, la Iglesia celebrará el Domingo de Catequesis el 19 de sep-tiembre de 2021, y el tema es: “Digan la Palabra y mi alma serán sanadas.” Aquellos que la comunidad pa-rroquial haya designado para servir como catequistas serán convocados para ser comisionados para su mi-nisterio. Invitamos a todos los Catequistas el Domingo Catequético, 19 de Septiembre a venir a cualquiera de las Misas en Nuestra Señora del Pilar y recibir una bendición especial por su maravilloso servicio a la comunidad y la Parroquia. Estamos muy agradecidos de tener tantos Catequistas que ayudan a nuestros niños y jóvenes.

FIESTA DE LA FE El Amén y la Doxología La Plegaria Eucarística concluye con una doxología o palabra de Gloria para Dios y es la forma tradicional en la que se con-cluye un himno litúrgico. En la celebración eucarística esta es la doxología principal mediante la cual, quien preside la litur-gia, expresa la glorificación de Dios. El pueblo ha de respon-der con un rotundo amén que haga honor no sólo a la doxolo-gía misma, sino también, a lo que significa Amén. La palabra Amén es una expresión de firmeza, de total convencimiento de que todo lo que se ha dicho y hecho es verdadero, que se cree profundamente, a prueba de todo. Es mucho más que la conclusión de la mayoría de nuestras oraciones, es la asimila-ción misma de nuestro compromiso a vivir conforme a lo que hemos celebrado u orado. Por eso que nuestro amén tiene que ser verdadero, no sólo al concluir la Plegaria Eucarística sino al comulgar el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Al hacerlo, deci-mos “sí” a lo que verdaderamente somos: el cuerpo místico de Cristo. Nos hacemos uno con él en comunión y formamos un solo cuerpo en comunión con Dios. ¡Amén! —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
