In today’s 1 st Reading the Lord laments the fact that his priests are playing favorites instead of carrying out the office entrusted to them.

A hypocrite transmits two contradictory messages and, even when one of them is true, he clouds the ability to get to the truth. The Lord today warns the priests who are showing partiality and hypocrisy that their blessings will become curses: when the truth is revealed about them an apparent blessing is revealed to be a lie for everyone to see. In today’s 2 nd Reading St. Paul paints another portrait of a minister of God: a humble, caring, and loving messenger. Humility is about speaking the truth, no matter what the consequences. Paul’s actions show his sincerity in holding himself up as an example not only of a shepherd of souls but of any believer. He has put the Lord’s invitation to be meek and humble of heart into practice, seeing his ministry as one akin to a nursing mother. Like the mother of a newborn, he not only nourishes them on the Gospel but offers them his very self. His motivations are not selfish: he cares for them because he loves them. Unlike the burdensome Pharisees Our Lord decries in today’s Gospel, he doesn’t seek to be a burden to anyone. In Acts, it is mentioned that he practiced his livelihood (tent making) while carrying out his ministry (see Acts 18:1-3; 20:33- 35). He didn’t seek out money but was grateful when it was offered to help him help others (see Philippians 4:14-16). It wasn’t about the money. If any servant of Our Lord were just in it for the money, they would probably change careers (see Paul’s “boast” in 2 Corinthians 11:16–33 for a job description). Paul received satisfaction from knowing that through his example the Thessalonians truly believed that he had shared the word of God with them and put it into practice as a result. Every servant of Our Lord couldn’t be happier if he helped someone in this way. My God bless you. Fr. Dan

OUR GIFTS TO GOD - That we realize putting other’s needs before our own is a sign of maturing as a disciple.
Jesus gave His life to serve, not to be served. Putting other’s needs before our own needs is a sign of becoming a mature disciple, of following Jesus’ example. Humility is really a sign of a strength. By putting other’s needs first we declare to the world that we are putting our complete trust in God.

Dear Parishioners,

THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2017 TREINTA PRIMERO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO DOMINGO 5 DE NOVIEMBRE DEL 2017
CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Parroquianos,
El domingo pasado fue el domingo de apreciación al sacerdocio. Los tres sacerdotes aquí en San Jerónimo les damos gracias por todos sus buenos deseos, cartas, regalos y promesas de oraciones. Realmente se aprecian y atesoramos su reflexión ahora y siempre. Es un placer atenderle. En las lecturas de hoy, se nos recordó que nuestra receptividad a un mensaje no debe determinarse si le gusta o disgusta al Mensajero, sino si ese mensaje es cierto. En cuanto a los mensajeros, también debemos recordar que nada que hagamos para contradecir el mensaje verdadero desviara las cosas que tratamos de compartir. En la1 lectura de hoy el Señor lamenta el hecho de que sus sacerdotes hagan favoritismos en lugar de llevar a cabo la oficina que se les encomienda. Los sacerdotes llevan a cabo un alto nivel moral, incluso hoy en día, y cuando no lo viven, su estilo de vida envía el mensaje equivocado e imparte la enseñanza falsa. Nuestro Señor en el Evangelio de hoy no critican a los fariseos tanto por lo que enseñan si no como lo hacen. No hacen lo que enseñan. Se revelan como unos hipócritas una de las cosas más abominables e imaginables. Un hipócrita transmite dos mensajes contradictorios y, si uno de ellos es cierto, nubla la capacidad de llegar a la verdad. Hoy el Señor advierte a los sacerdotes que están mostrando parcialidad e hipocresía que sus bendiciones se convertirán en maldiciones: cuando se revele la verdad acerca de ellos una bendición aparente se revela como una mentira para que todos puedan ver. En la 2 lectura de hoy San Pablo pinta otro retrato de un ministro de Dios: un mensajero humilde, dedicado y amoroso. La humildad es hablar la verdad, sin importar las consecuencias. Las acciones de Pablo muestran su sinceridad en la realización de sí mismo como ejemplo no sólo de un pastor de almas, sino de cualquier creyente. Él ha puesto la invitación del Señor a ser Manso y humilde de corazón en la práctica, ver su ministerio como uno semejante a una madre lactante. Como la madre de un recién nacido, no solo nutre el Evangelio, sino que se ofrece a sí mismo. Sus motivaciones no son egoístas: él cuida de ellos porque los ama. A diferencia de los fariseos gravosos que nuestro Señor condena en el Evangelio de hoy, no busca ser una carga para nadie. En los hechos, se menciona que practicó su sustento (fabricación de
carpa) desempeño de su Ministerio (ver hechos 18:1-3; 20:33-35). No busca dinero, pero se sentía agradecido cuando se ofrecían a ayudarle y ayudaba a otros (ver Filipenses 4:14-16). No era cuestión de dinero. Si cualquier siervo de nuestro Señor fuera en esto por el dinero que probablemente cambiaría carreras (véase "Jactancia" Pablo en 2 de Corintios 11:16 – 33 para una descripción del trabajo). Pablo recibió la satisfacción de saber que a través de su ejemplo los Tesalonicenses realmente creían que habían compartido la palabra de Dios con ellos y puesto en práctica como resultado. Cada siervo del Señor no podía estar más feliz si ayudó a alguien de esta manera. Dios te bendiga. Padre de Dan
31º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Para que nos demos cuenta que poner las necesidades de los
demás antes que las nuestras es un signo de madurez como
discípulos.
"El que se enaltece será humillado; pero el que se humilla será
enaltecido." Mateo 23:12
Jesús dio su vida para servir, no para ser servido. Poner las
necesidades de otros ante nuestras propias necesidades es un
signo de convertirse en un discípulo maduro, de seguir el
ejemplo de Jesús. La humildad es realmente un signo de
fortaleza. Poniendo primero las necesidades de los demás,
declaramos al mundo que confiamos completamente en Dios.
Cuando alineamos nuestros pensamientos y acciones con el plan
que Dios tiene para nosotros, el resultado es alegría y paz.
CATECISMO (de KINDER A SEXTO AÑO)
