Queridos amigos en St. Dominic
Este fin de semana, se levantar una segunda colecta para el Óbolo de San Pedro. Esta colecta nos une en solidaridad con el Papa Francisco y sus obras de caridad hacia los necesitados. Sus donaciones respaldarán las obras de caridad del Santo Padre y proporcionar ayuda de emergen-cia a las personas más necesitadas, incluidas las víctimas de la opresión, los desastres naturales y la guerra. Sus esfuerzos son esenciales para los pobres y el sufrimiento del mundo. Gracias por su apoyo del Papa Francisco y sus obras de caridad.
Las escrituras de esta semana de nos enseñan que la humildad es la condición previa para la verdadera felicidad. En el mundo secularizado de hoy, no solemos hablar del diablo, y cuando lo hacemos, por lo general es hacer una broma. Pero Jesús no se limitó a hacer bromas sobre el diablo. De hecho, la Biblia nos dice que deshacer las obras del diablo fue la razón principal que Jesús vino a la tierra en el primer lugar: este fue el propósito de la venida del Hijo de Dios, para deshacer la obra del diablo.
La primera lectura de este Domingo explica por qué el diablo es tan importante para la historia de la humanidad: era por la envidia del diablo que la muerte entró al mundo. Esto sucedió en el Jardín del Edén, con el pecado original. Cuando nuestros primeros padres se dejan engañar por el diablo, dejó de confiar en Dios, y desobedeció la orden de Dios, la armonía original que Dios había construido en la creación se hizo añicos. El mal, la muerte y el sufrimiento que inundó el mundo. Y desde entonces, la historia humana, tanto de la raza humana, y de todas las personas, ha sido un campo de batalla entre las fuerzas destructoras del mal, el pecado y el egoísmo, y el poder redentor de la gracia de Dios. Esta es la verdad, revelada por Cristo, y bastante obvio para cualquiera que se tome una mirada honesta a el mundo.
Pero si es cierto y evidente, ¿por qué mundo secularizado de hoy rehúye hablar de ello? Parte de la respuesta es simple: si admitimos la realidad del diablo y el pecado original, también estamos admitiendo el hecho de que nosotros, como seres humanos caídos, estamos en necesidad de un Salvador, alguien más fuerte que el mal y la muerte que puede venir y redimirnos. Pero admitir nuestra necesidad de un Salvador requiere humildad y la humildad nos asusta. Preferimos mucho a vernos como autosuficiente, heroica, exitoso y capaz de cuidar de nosotros mismos. Pero a menos que seamos humildes, admitiendo que no somos Dios, que necesitamos a Dios, entonces la gracia de Dios no va a ser capaz de tocar y transformar nuestras vidas, porque Dios es demasiado respetuoso de nuestra libertad a la fuerza por la puerta de nuestros corazones.
Atentamente suyo en Cristo, Rev. Roer Estorgue
Dear Friends in St. Dominic This week-end, we shall take up a second collection for St. Peter’s Pence. This collection unites us in solidarity with Pope Francis and his works of charity toward those in need. Your donations will support the charitable works of the Holy Father and provide emergency assistance to those most in need, including victims of oppression, natural disasters and war. Your efforts are essential to the poor and suffering of the world. Thank you for your support of Pope Francis and his charitable works. This week-end’s scriptures teach us that humility is the precondi-tion for true happiness. In today's secularized world, we do not often talk about the devil, and when we do, it is usually to make a joke. But Jesus did not just make jokes about the devil. In fact, the Bible tells us that undoing the devil's work was the primary reason Jesus came to earth in the first place: This was the purpose of the appearing of the Son of God, to undo the work of the devil. This Sunday’s First Reading explains why the devil is so im-portant for human history: it was by the envy of the dev-il that death entered the world. This happened in the Garden of Eden, with original sin. When our first parents let themselves be deceived by the devil, stopped trusting in God, and disobeyed God's command, the original harmony that God had built into creation was shattered. Evil, death, and suffering flooded the world. And ever since then, human history, both of the human race, and of every individual, has been a battleground between those destructive forces of evil, sin and selfishness, and the re-deeming power of God's grace. This is the truth, revealed by Christ, and fairly obvious to anyone who takes an honest look at the world. But if it is true and obvious, why does today's secularized world shy away from talking about it? Part of the answer is simple: if we admit the reality of the devil and original sin, we are also ad-mitting the fact that we, as fallen human beings, are in need of a Savior, someone stronger than evil and death who can come and redeem us. But admitting our need for a Savior takes humility, and humility scares us. We much prefer to see ourselves as self-sufficient, heroic, successful, and capable of taking care of our-selves. But unless we are humble, admitting that we are not God, that we need God, then God's grace will not be able to touch and transform our lives, because God is too respectful of our freedom to force down the door of our hearts. Sincerely yours in Christ Rev. Roger Estorque

THE LORD OF LIFE
A t this bountiful time of year, our Sunday readings teem with life and abundance. Both the first read-
ing, from the book of Wisdom, and the Gospel passage from Mark assure us that God did not make death or even will us to be ill. Illness and death entered the world through the presence of evil, the Wisdom author tells us. Mark’s stories of Jesus healing a hemorrhaging woman and resuscitating a dead little girl make it clear that Jesus is from God. As the Son of God he does not will that anyone suffer illness or death. In the face of such power, the second reading, from Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians, provides a stark contrast. Jesus, who could raise the dead to new life, “though he was rich, for your sake he became poor” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Our gift of new life from Christ demands our response in charity .
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
T he premier poet of the English language, Geoffrey Chaucer, introduced one of his most beloved
characters, the “Wife of Bath,” by this telling remark: “Husbands at church door she had five.” Four times widowed, she was setting off on a pilgrimage, notably without number five. The church door is a curious detail, pointing to the fourteenth-century wedding custom of marrying on the porch of the parish church. The goal was to give maximum publicity to the consent of the groom and bride, and so consent was moved from the bride’s home to a public venue. The priest would stand in the doorway and begin by sprinkling the couple with holy water. He needed to make sure they weren’t too closely related and give them some instruction. He would direct the groom to pay the bride’s family a dowry, and then announce the monetary amounts to the interested passersby. Only then would the guests enter the church for the wedding Mass, during which the bride and groom would hold lighted candles. The gradual move from home to church and the shift from the bride’s father to the priest’s authority helped to protect the freedom of brides who weren’t quite as confident as the Wife of Bath.
EL SEÑOR DE LA VIDA
E n este tiempo tan fecundo del año nuestras lecturas dominicales rebosan con vida y abundancia. Tanto
la primera lectura, del libro de la Sabiduría, como la tercera del Evangelio de san Marcos nos aseguran que Dios no creó la muerte, ni quiere que suframos de ninguna enfermedad. Fue por la envidia del diablo que la muerte entró al mundo, según nos dice el Sabio. Y lo que san Marcos nos cuenta sobre la curación de la hemorroisa y cómo revivió la hija de Jairo nos muestran claramente que Jesús viene de Dios. Como Hijo de Dios, Jesús no quiere que nadie sufra enfermedad ni muerte. Pero en el contexto de tanto poder, la segunda lectura, de la segunda carta de san Pablo a los corintios, nos presenta un fuerte contraste. Jesús, que puede levantar a los muertos a una nueva vida, “siendo rico se hizo pobre por ustedes” (2 Corintios 8:9). Así pues, la nueva vida que recibimos como regalo de Cristo exige una respuesta: nuestra caridad.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
M uchos hispanos que vivimos en Estados Unidos somos personas bilingües. Podemos leer la
Palabra de Dios en inglés o español. Por ejemplo, el texto de Juan 21:15-19, en el que Jesús le pregunta a Pedro si lo ama. El texto en inglés nos dice que Jesús le pregunta tres veces: Peter, do you love me? Pedro le responde: Lord, you know that I love you, mientras que en español le dice: “Señor, tú sabes que te quiero”. La diferencia es casi imperceptible, pero importante. El texto original fue escrito en griego y usaba dos palabras que significan amor, ágape (amor que se sacrifica) y fileo (amor fraterno). En inglés, Jesús y Pedro usan la misma palabra, love, mientras en español Jesús dos veces pregunta por “amor”, y Pedro responde con “querer”. La tercera vez, Jesús se acopla a Pedro y sólo pregunta en torno al “querer”, reconociendo que en ese momento, Pedro no puede darle más que eso. Jesús le asegura que algún día Pedro sería capaz del amor ágape entregando su vida por él. Jesús se acopla a nosotros pidiendo lo que le podemos dar y ayudándonos a crecer hasta que podamos darle toda nuestra vida.
