P A S T O R ’ S R e f l e c t i o n
B reaking Open the Word of God:
Dear brothers and sisters, this Sunday's readings present us the choice of who will we will serve during our lives. They remind us that we cannot
serve the world and God at the same time. As Christians, we are always indebted to our Lord for opening the doors of the Kingdom of God and for giving us the possibility of salvation.
The first reading from the book of Amos speaks against greed. The Israelites looked forward to the end of the holy days and sabbaths in order to continue their dishonest practices. In this specific case, they were celebrating the Festival of the new moon. This celebration of the first day of the new moon, as it fell on the sabbath, was a day of rest. During these celebrations, without exception, no business was allowed.
The Festival of the first day of the new moon came to an end around the first century. We find a record of this celebration in Paul's Letter to the Colossians where he says: "Therefore, do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons or Sabbaths." There were a couple of things that the Israelites were doing that incurred God’s disapproval. First, while doing business, merchants used a dishonest measure to deceive and take advantage of the poor. The law prohibited them from using dishonest means of measures. The dishonest Israelites were guilty of selling what should have been thrown away, such as what was cleaned of wheat, or they mixed good and bad grains when selling them.
In the second reading from Paul's first letter to Timothy, we are reminded of our spiritual obligations according to the universal salvation that the Heavenly Father planned for humanity. When St. Paul wrote: "I ask that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for all." His emphasis was on the Christian's obligation to pray for all people without exception. In our daily moments of prayer, we must all be grateful to God for all that he has given us.
In the Gospel of Luke, we hear the parable of the dishonest administrator. For many, this is one of the most difficult parables. It seems as if Jesus is suggesting that he approves of those who obtain dishonest riches. First, let's start from the beginning. The parable refers to a rich man and an administrator. In those days, as a general rule, the administrator was a slave who was born in the house. The rich man gave the slave great freedom and full responsibility regarding the administration of his personal property. The parable tells us that the rich man had discovered that his administrator was wasting his property. There came a time when the rich man asked the slave about the management of his wealth. He asked the slave to give him an account of the wealth his master had entrusted to him. In other words, to present a detailed financial statement of the investments. This put the slave in a very bad position. What could he do to stop his master from discovering the outrageous interest rates he was charging? Cunningly he devises a plan, I will give
everyone a credit so they only owe the original loan plus a small reasonable interest rate. He who owes a hundred jugs of olive oil should only owe fifty. By the way, one hundred bottles of oil represent 900 gallons, this being the production of about 146 olive trees. When the rich man learned what the manager had done, he congratulated him for acting cunningly. The rich man did not praise the administrator for being dishonest. He praised him for having taken the appropriate measures at a time of crisis to cancel the excessive interest he was demanding for his personal benefit.
Upon finishing telling the parable, Jesus said: "For the children of this time are more astute in dealing with their own generation than the children of light." The children of the light are baptized Christians who do not care for material wealth, they are less concerned with "fixing things" than the children of the world. Unfortunately, the world believes that those who seek personal gain are more astute than those who seek spiritual gain. The words of Jesus could be written as follows: "And I tell you to become friends through worldly wealth so that when you are retired, you can receive them in your homes." Dishonest wealth can only come from worldly wealth. Honest wealth consists of spiritual wealth, it is the treasures that accumulate in Heaven through acts of charity.
W alking together as brothers and sisters:
Dear brothers and sisters, I invite you throughout this week, to reflect on what we own, such as our money, our time and possessions
that are precious resources and gifts from God. We can jealously protect them only for ourselves or allow the love of the Lord to guide us to make good use of them for the benefit of others, especially those in need. Ask the Lord to fill our hearts with a spirit of generosity and joy. That we can all share happily what we have with others; asking God to pour out his infinite grace on all mankind so that everyone has the right disposition to inherit the eternal Kingdom of God.

R E F L E X I O N d e l P á r r o c o
M editando la
Palabra de Dios
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, las lecturas de este domingo presentan un ambiente que nos ayuda a elegir a quién serviremos durante nuestra vida. Nos recuerdan que no podemos servir al mundo y a Dios al mismo tiempo. Como cristianos, estamos siempre en deuda con nuestro
Señor por abrirnos las puertas del Reino de Dios y por adquirirnos la salvación.
La primera lectura del libro de Amós habla en contra de la avaricia. Los israelitas esperaban con impaciencia el final de los días santos y los sábados para poder continuar con sus prácticas deshonestas. En este caso específico, estaban celebrando la fiesta de la luna nueva. Esta celebración del primer día de la luna nueva, como lo era el sábado, eran días de descanso. Durante estas celebraciones, sin excepción, no se permitía tramitar ningún negocio.
La celebración del primer día de la luna nueva llegó a su fin alrededor del primer siglo. Encontramos un registro de su celebración en la Carta de Pablo a los Colosenses donde dice: “Por lo tanto, no dejen que nadie los condene en asuntos de comida y bebida o de observar festivales, nuevas lunas o días de reposo”. Había un par de cosas que los israelitas estaban haciendo que atraía la condena Dios. En primer lugar, durante sus negocios, los comerciantes utilizaban una medida deshonesta para engañar y oprimir a los pobres. La ley les prohibió usar medios deshonestos de medidas. Los israelitas deshonestos eran culpables de vender lo que debería haberse tirado, como lo que se limpiaba del trigo, o también mezclaban granos buenos y malos al venderlos.
En la segunda lectura de la primera carta de Pablo a Timoteo, se nos recuerda nuestras obligaciones espirituales de acuerdo con la salvación universal que el Padre Celestial planeó para la humanidad. Cuando San Pablo escribió: “Pido a que se hagan súplicas, oraciones, intercesiones y acciones de gracias para todos”. su énfasis estaba en la obligación del cristiano de orar por todas las personas sin excepción. Todos en nuestros momentos diarios de oración, debemos estar agradecidos con Dios por todo lo que nos ha dado.
En el Evangelio de Lucas, escuchamos la parábola del administrador deshonesto. Para muchos, esta es una de las parábolas más difíciles. Parece como si Jesús estuviera sugiriendo que aprueba a aquellos que obtienen riquezas deshonestas. En primer lugar, comencemos desde el principio. La parábola se refiere a un hombre rico y a un administrador. En aquellos días, como regla general, el administrador era un esclavo que había nacido en la casa. El hombre rico le dio al esclavo gran libertad y plena responsabilidad con respecto a la administración de su
propiedad personal. La parábola nos dice que el hombre rico había descubierto que su administrador estaba desperdiciando sus bienes. Llegó un momento en que el hombre rico le preguntó al esclavo sobre el manejo de su riqueza. Le pidió al esclavo que le diera cuenta de la riqueza que le había confiado su amo. En otras palabras, que le presentara un estado financiero detallado de sus inversiones. Esto puso al esclavo en una muy mala posición. ¿Qué podría hacer para que su amo no descubriera las tasas de interés escandalosas que se estaba cobrando? Astutamente piensa, les daré un crédito a todos para que sólo deban el préstamo original más una pequeña tasa de interés razonable. El que debe cien jarras de aceite de oliva sólo deberá cincuenta. Por cierto, cien frascos de aceite representan 900 galones, siendo esta la producción de unos 146 árboles de olivo. Cuando el hombre rico se enteró de lo que había hecho el gerente, lo felicitó por actuar con astucia. El hombre rico no elogió al administrador por ser deshonesto. Lo elogió por haber tomado las medidas adecuadas en un momento de crisis para cancelar el interés excesivo que estaba exigiendo para su beneficio personal.
Al completar la parábola, Jesús dijo: “Porque los hijos de este tiempo son más astutos al tratar con su propia generación que los hijos de la luz”. Los hijos de la luz son los cristianos bautizados que no disfrutan de la riqueza material, están menos preocupados por “arreglar las cosas” que los hijos del mundo. Lamentablemente podría pensarse que aquellos que buscan ganancia personal son más astutos que quienes buscan ganancia espiritual. Las palabras de Jesús podrían redactarse de la siguiente manera: “Y les digo que se hagan amigos por medio de la riqueza mundana para que cuando sean retirados, puedan recibirlos en sus hogares”. La riqueza deshonesta sólo puede provenir de la riqueza mundana. La riqueza honesta consiste en la riqueza espiritual, son los tesoros que se acumulan en el Cielo a través de actos de caridad.
C aminando juntos como hermanos:
Estimados hermanos y hermanas, los invito a lo largo de esta semana, a que reflexionemos en lo
que poseemos, como puede ser nuestro dinero, nuestro tiempo y posesiones que son recursos preciosos y regalos de Dios. Podemos protegerlos celosamente sólo para nosotros mismos o permitir que el amor del Señor nos guíe para hacer un buen uso de ellos en beneficio de los demás, especialmente de los necesitados. Pídanle al Señor que llene nuestros corazones con un espíritu de generosidad y alegría. Que todos podamos compartir lo que poseemos con los demás alegremente; pidiéndole a Dios que derrame su gracia infinita sobre toda la humanidad para que todos tengan la disposición correcta para heredar el Reino eterno de Dios.

Fr. Brian Bashista, vocation director of the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, underscores that vocation is less about personal choice and more about discovery.
A vocation is not so much a choice as it is an invitation and response. A person offers himself or herself to the other. Vocations are always ‘other –directed.’ They are about love. Love is not so much chosen; it is discovered and then responded to. Even in marriage, a man does not really choose his wife or
vice versa. He extends an invitation to her to enter into this vocation and she responds. Every vocation takes two yeses.
As you seek to say yes to God and to discover the vocations in which God wants you to flourish, I
recommend this prayer to you. Say it every day, more then once.
Dear God, I want to want what you want.
Even if I don’t want it right now;
Even if I am afraid right now,
I want to want it.
Help me to want to be what you want me to be, Amen.
From the Book “To Save a Thousand Souls”
