Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

September 11, 2016

A clean heart create for me, O God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me.

— Psalm 51:12

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Today’s readings present us with a beautiful teaching from Our Lord. In it he shows us the wonderful nature of reconciliation with God and with others. Let’s look at a few points shall we? The first thing I’d like to address is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. When we forgive or are forgiven the debt owed to us or the debt we owe others is cancelled. A worldly example might help us to understand. Let’s say that we might have taken a loan from a bank for a large sum of money only to lose our job or have some catastrophe hit us. If we are unable to pay back the loan the bank may write off the loan in part or entirely. That’s forgiveness. Now, whether or not the bank wants to do business with us in the fu-ture is another question entirely. If we’ve been spotty in our financial transactions they may not want to con-tinue with our business. But, if we’ve been a good customer for a long time the bank may want to continue with the business relationship. They write off the loan and after some period of rectifying the situation in which we find ourselves the bank makes it seem that all is taken care of and we start anew as if nothing had happened. That’s reconciliation. Which of these two do you think the Lord would have us employ in our dealings with others? Reconciliation of course. When someone offends us it’s important that we not only forgive, but as far as is possible, start our relationship again by reconciling ourselves with those in debt to us. If we are the debtor we should seek to reconcile ourselves with any that we have offended. The examples that Jesus gives, urging reconciliation with God, are stark and they point to how we should deal with others. The parables of Lost Sheep, the Woman and her Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son, all teach us that God and all those in heaven rejoice when the sinner acknowledges his sin (because sin makes us lose our rela-tionship with God) and is reconciled to God and his Church. When God forgives, he also reconciles us to him-self so that we can start a fresh, new, deep, and abiding relationship with him. As we pray in the Lord’s Prayer “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” we are in fact asking God to treat us as we treat those who sin against us. Since God desires our reconciliation with him we too must strive to reconcile with others. As we read in the gospel’s account of the father talking to his older son who refused to forgive or be reconciled with his wayward younger brother:

“’My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’”

Page Five Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 11 de Septiembre de 2016

Del Pastor Las lecturas de hoy nos presentan una hermosa enseñanza de nuestro Señor. En él se nos muestra la maravillo-sa naturaleza de la reconciliación con Dios y con los demás. Vamos a ver algunos puntos? La primera cosa que me gustaría abordar es la diferencia entre el perdón y la reconciliación. Cuando perdona-mos o nos perdonan la deuda que nos deben o la deuda que nosotros tenemos con otros, se cancela. Un ejem-plo mundano podría ayudarnos a entender. Digamos que podríamos haber pedido un préstamo de un banco por una gran suma de dinero sólo para perder nuestro trabajo o pasar por una gran catástrofe. Si somos incapaces de pagar el préstamo, el Banco podría amortizar el préstamo en su totalidad o en parte. Ese es el perdón. Aho-ra, si el banco quiere o no quiere hacer negocios con nosotros en el futuro, es otra cuestión por completo. Si hemos sido irregulares en nuestras transacciones financieras pueden no querer continuar con nuestro negocio. Pero, si hemos sido un buen cliente por un largo tiempo el banco puede querer continuar con la relación co-mercial. Amortizan el préstamo, y después de algún período de rectificar la situación en la que nos encontra-mos el banco hace parecer que todo está cuidado y empezamos de nuevo como si nada hubiera sucedido. Eso es la reconciliación. ¿Cuál de estas dos crees que el Señor quiere que nosotros empleemos en nuestras relaciones con los demás? La reconciliación por supuesto. Cuando alguien nos ofende es importante que no sólo nos perdone, sino que en la medida posible, iniciar nuestra relación de nuevo mediante la conciliación de nosotros mismos con aque-llos en deuda con nosotros. Si somos el deudor debemos tratar de reconciliarnos con los que nos han ofendido. Los ejemplos que Jesús da, exhortar a la reconciliación con Dios, son claros y nos guían a cómo deberíamos de tratar a los demás. Las parábolas de la oveja perdida, la mujer y su moneda perdida y el hijo pródigo, todos nos enseñan que Dios y todos aquellos que están en el cielo se regocijan cuando el pecador reconoce su pecado (porque el pecado nos hace perder nuestra relación con Dios) y es reconciliado con Dios y su Iglesia. Cuando Dios perdona, él también nos reconcilia consigo, de modo que podamos empezar una nueva, profunda y per-manente relación con él. Cuando rezamos la Oración del Padre "perdona nuestras ofensas, como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden", de hecho, estamos pidiendo a Dios que nos trate como nosotros tratamos a aquellos que pecan con-tra nosotros. Dado que Dios desea nuestra reconciliación con él, nosotros también debemos tratar de conciliar-nos con los demás. Como leemos en el evangelio en donde el padre esta hablando con su hijo mayor quien se negó a perdonar o reconciliarse con su hermano descarriado:

"Hijo, tu siempre estas conmigo; y todo lo mío es tuyo. Pero era necesario hacer fiesta y regocijarnos, porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida; estaba perdido y lo hemos encontrado".
