THEHIGHESTLAW From time to time, newspapers and magazines will offer, as an item of “ iller,” various laws that are still on the books but seem silly to us in our day and age. In one California city, it is illegal to have two in-door bathtubs in one house. Clean water, a precious commodity when the law was written, is now readily available, so the law seems silly. But the human value of protecting and preserving precious resources is still around, evident in many conservation laws that seem sensible to us. So it is with the laws of religious tradition. What Jesus scorns today is others’ attitude toward ritual laws, an attitude that becomes nearly idolatrous when laws are observed for their own sake. Jesus teaches that observation of external ritual laws is of value only when they are emblems of our internal disposition toward the will of God. Our whole lives must follow the one ultimate law of God: to love God completely and to love neighbor entirely. Roman Catholicism is a tradition rich with customs, traditions, and even laws. As we continue to listen to the voice of Christ, we must always look into our own hearts and underneath our ritual practices to make sure that love of God and love of neighbor are what we prize above all.

ELPRECEPTOMÁSIMPORTANTE

De vez en cuando, los periodicos y las revistas publican, a modo de “relleno”, diversas leyes que si-guen en los libros pero que parecen ridıculas en nuestra epoca. En una ciudad de California, es ilegal tener dos baneras dentro de una casa. Cuando se pa-so la ley era un lujo tener acceso al agua corriente, pero ahora que no lo es la ley parece ridıcula. Sin em-bargo, el valor humano de proteger y preservar los recursos mas valiosos sigue teniendo vigencia, esto se mani iesta en muchas leyes, que nos parecen muy acertadas, cuyo in es proteger el medio ambiente. Sucede lo mismo con los preceptos religiosos. Lo que Jesus desdena hoy es la actitud de los demas respecto a los preceptos rituales, una actitud que se vuelve casi idolatra cuando se obedecen los preceptos por el me-ro hecho de obedecerlos. Lo que Jesus ensena es que el cumplimiento de los preceptos rituales externos solo tiene valor cuando simboliza nuestra predisposi-cion interior a cumplir la voluntad de Dios. Nuestras vidas deben obedecer el precepto supremo de Dios: amar a Dios por encima de todo y al projimo igual que nos amamos a nosotros. La religion catolica es rica en costumbres, tradiciones e incluso preceptos. Al seguir escuchando la voz de Cristo, siempre debe-mos examinar nuestro corazon y nuestras practicas rituales para asegurarnos de que el amor a Dios y al projimo se halle por encima de todo lo demas.

Han comenzado a nuestras reuniones de consulta de caıda para RCIA. ¿Te interesa explorar la fe catolica para convertirse en catolico o son adultos que quisieran completar sus sacra-mentos de con irmacion y la Eucaristıa? Nos reuniremos el viernes, 7deseptiembrede 6 a 7:30 PM , en habitacion G, en St. Joseph hall. TRADICIONESDENUESTRAFE

En las Sagradas Escrituras hay varias parejas como Abraham y Sara, Elcana y Ana, y Zacarıas e Isabel, que por alguna razon u otra no pueden en-gendrar hijos o hijas. Hay que saber que en muchas culturas la falta de descendencia es considerada un castigo divino. Dios, en su divina misericordia, am-para a estas parejas dandoles una prole. Segun la literatura apocrifa cristiana, (el Evangelio de la Na-tividad de Marıa, el Evangelio apocrifo de Mateo y el Protoevangelium de Santiago) a estas famosas parejas se pueden anadir los padres de la Virgen Marıa, Joaquın y Ana. Esta pareja de la lınea del rey David tampoco podıa engendrar familia. En una iesta judıa, Joa-quın (el hombre a quien Dios lleva) fue rechazado en el templo por no tener hijo o hija. Desdichado se retiro al desierto para implorar la bendicion de Dios. Su esposa Ana (gracia, amor, plegaria) tam-bien imploro al Senor hasta que un angel le anun-cio que Dios la habıa escuchado. El mismo angel envio a Joaquın a su casa. A los nueve meses Ana dio a luz una nina a quien llamaron Miriam (Marıa). —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Acepten docilmente la palabra que ha sido sem-brada en ustedes y es capaz de salvarlos. —Santiago1:21b
