A message from Fr. Tony
ALL IS GRACE On Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading is select-ed for the light it sheds on the day’s Gospel. Today, Ezekiel sees God lifting up the lowly tree and making the withered tree bloom. So in the second parable of today’s Gospel, Jesus encourages us by promising that, as fragile seeds grow into an abundant harvest, and the tiny mustard seed into a hearty plant, so God will grow the kingdom from small beginnings to an instrument of salvation for all. In the first parable, the land yields fruit “of its own ac-cord” (Mark 4:28). Not only is the initiative God’s, but the parable teaches that the seed’s growth, though invisible at first, is actually unstoppable! To be sure, those who depend on the impressive or dramatic in order to be convinced or encouraged will be disap-pointed in the slow unfolding of the kingdom that Jesus announc-es. But for those who do accept the kingdom, all is grace, and that grace is certain.
Though the second reading is not coordinated with either the first reading or Gospel on these Sundays, today’s is thematically appro-priate. Saint Paul argues that our experience of God’s trustworthi-ness thus far should make us a people of undaunted courage and unshakeable faith. But at the same time Paul warns that faith should also make us aware of our responsibility to do good.

Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
TODO ES GRACIA Durante los domingos del Tiempo Ordinario, la lectura del Antiguo Testa-mento se relaciona con el tema del Evangelio de ese domingo. Hoy Eze-quiel ve a Dios elevar los árboles pequeños y florecer los árboles secos. Y en las parábolas del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos anima poniendo como ejemplos el fruto abundante que puede dar una semilla y que la semilla tan pequeña de mostaza crece y se convierte en uno de los arbustos más grandes, y así es Dios quien hace crecer el Reino de un pequeño comien-zo a un instrumento de salvación para todos. En la primera parábola la tierra por sí sola produce el fruto (Marcos 4:28). Además de la iniciativa de Dios, la parábola enseña que el crecimiento de la semilla, al principio invisible, no se puede detener. Para estar seguros, las personas que de-penden de lo que impresiona o llama fuertemente la atención para estar convencidas o animadas pues van a estar decepcionadas en lo despacio que se hace realidad el reino que Jesús anunció. Pero para quienes acep-tan el reino, todo es gracia y la gracia es verdadera.
Aún cuando la segunda lectura no se relaciona ni con la primera ni con el Evangelio durante estos domingos; hay que considerar el mensaje que tiene la de hoy. San Pablo afirma que en nuestro camino de fe con-fiamos en Dios y esto debe hacernos un pueblo de valor indomable y fe inquebrantable. Y al mismo tiempo Pablo nos advierte que la fe también debe hacernos consientes de nuestra responsabilidad de hacer el bien.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION A wedding celebrated in the Eastern Church has a form that was fixed a thousand years ago. In the West, our story is more complicated by constant change and varia on. As the world’s structures to ered in the ninth century, bishops and priests stepped into the void le by collapsing civil struc-tures. For the first me, marriage was referred to as a sacrament, and wedding ceremonies were to be in public (assuring the free consent of the bride) a er an inves ga on of the couple by a priest. The custom of the blessing of the bridal room dimin-ished, and was finally forbidden in 1012 by the Council of Rouen, although it con nued for centu-ries. In the diocese of Perigueux in France, a ritual from 1827 had the parish priest clad in surplice and stole sprinkling the bridal couple as they stood modestly in their pajamas by the wedding bed. Next the bed and all those present were sprinkled, too! That’s a tradi on that few Americans, either the betrothed or the clergy, are ready to revive!
