Saint Canera, patroness of
Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat
with an oil lamp, the symbol of
wisdom and virginity, with a
monastery on an island in the
background where she sought
spiritual rest. She was refused entrance to the is-
land but was given Eucharist just before she died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

R E F L E X I Ó N
Las personas son cada vez más desconfiadas.
Todo lo que sea extraño nos resulta amenazador. En
algunos barrios de las grandes ciudades, se ven le-
treros en las casas que advierten que se llamará a la
policía, si se ven extraños cerca. Nuestros hogares
son cada vez menos abiertos, al igual que los ba-
rrios, las ciudades y los países. Hay un fuerte senti-
miento anti-inmigratorio. En general, todo lo extra-
ño o inusual nos hace sentir inseguros y amenaza-
dos; por eso aumenta la violencia. A la violencia se
responde con más violencia —aunque en algunos
casos sea defensiva— lo que lleva a una espiral cre-
ciente de más desconfianza y violencia.
La propuesta de las lecturas de hoy es diferente,
en línea con el mensaje evangélico del reino de
Dios. Se nos habla de hospitalidad. La primera lec-
tura, del Génesis, nos muestra a Abraham, el pa-
triarca, que no solo acoge a los extranjeros, sino que
suplica a aquellos tres hombres que se queden en su
casa y coman de su mesa. La hospitalidad en esos
pueblos era un deber sagrado y los visitantes recib-
ían todo honor y respeto. Era como si Dios mismo
visitara el hogar. Marta y María, en el evangelio,
acogieron al Señor en su casa, de las maneras prin-
cipales y esenciales de hospitalidad: escuchando al
invitado y atendiendo sus necesidades.
Tenemos que poner mayor énfasis en esta virtud,
que es natural para nosotros. Quienes somos inmi-
grantes, quisiéramos recibir hospitalidad, pero tam-
bién podemos extenderla. Podemos ser abiertos, es-
cuchar y servir a quienes no son como nosotros, por
ejemplo, a quienes estaban ya en este país, pero ne-
cesitan una mano amiga, el calor de nuestra compa-
sión y solidaridad, alguien que escuche sus perspec-
tivas y sentimientos. Todos somos hermanos y her-
manas. Todos pertenecemos a la familia de Dios.
La encarnación de Jesús ha convertido a cada
persona en el mejor y más pleno sacramento de la
presencia de Dios entre nosotros. Acoger a otros,
compartir con ellos lo que tenemos, significa acoger
al mismo Dios que viene a visitarnos. Esto hace rea-
lidad el Reino de Dios en nuestro mundo y cumple
su voluntad de reunirnos a todos en la misma mesa,
para compartir la vida que Él nos ha dado. Solo la
hospitalidad, la bienvenida sincera y abierta, la ma-
no tendida unirán un mundo dividido y roto que so-
lo parece capaz de generar desconfianza y violen-
cia.

R E F L E C T I O N
People are increasingly becoming more distrust-
ful. Everything that seems strange is threatening to
us. In some large city neighborhoods, we see signs in
the homes warning that the police will be called, if
strangers are seen near the house. Our homes are be-
coming less opening, as are our neighborhoods, cit-
ies, and countries. There is a strong anti-immigrant
feeling. In general, all that is strange or unusual
makes us feel insecure and threatened; this is why
violence increases. Violence is responded with even
more violence—although in some cases it is self-
defense—and it leads to a rising spiral of more dis-
trust and violence.
The proposal in today’s readings is quite different,
in line with the gospel message of God’s kingdom. It
speaks of hospitality. The first reading, from Genesis,
shows Abraham, the patriarch, who not only wel-
comes the strangers, but also pleads with the three
men to stay in his home and eat at his table. Hospital-
ity for these people was a sacred duty and visitors
were given all honor and respect. It was as if God
himself visited the home. Martha and Mary, in the
gospel, welcomed the Lord in their home, in the main
and essential ways of hospitality: listening to the
guests and caring for their needs, but above all, wel-
coming the person.
We must put greater emphasis on this virtue,
which is natural to us. Those who are immigrants
would like to receive hospitality, but we can also ex-
tend it. We ourselves can be welcoming, by being
receptive, listening, and serving others who are not
like us, for example, those who were already in this
country, but need a helping hand, the warmth of our
compassion and solidarity, and listening to their per-
spectives and feelings. We are all brothers and sis-
ters. We all belong to the family of God.
The incarnation of Jesus has converted every per-
son into the best and fullest sacrament of God’s pres-
ence among us. To welcome others, sharing what we
have with them, means welcoming God himself who
has come to visit. Our neighbor comes to make the
Kingdom of God a reality in our world, to fulfill
God’s will, which seeks to gather us all at the same
table, to share the life He has given us. Only hospital-
ity, the sincere and open welcome, the extended
hand, will unite a divided and broken world that only
seems capable of generating distrust and violence.
This reflection was taken from Nuestra Parroquia.

Diocesan Stewardship Message Today’s readings speak of hospitality. Abraham, who cheerfully did for his guests all that desert
hospitality required, was rewarded with his heart’s
desire---a son. Martha also busied herself with all
the details of hospitality, but grudgingly and with
complaint. Am I a cheerful or a grudging giver?
