My dear Parishioners,
Many years ago, as a younger person, I was often amused
listening to some of our older religious talking about their
doctors. In those days, I had one doctor whom I visited
when it was absolutely necessary and that, thanks be to God,
was a rare occasion. But life changes as we grow older and
experience the consequences of ageing. And so, I have
joined that vast multitude of human beings who speak of
their doctors. As many of you are aware, in recent years, I
have experienced a number of ailments and have had to rely
on the services of medical specialists, mostly doctors but
also some excellent nurse practitioners, therapists, and tech-
nicians. What an eye opener! I never cease to be amazed by
the competence of these dedicated people and the technolo-
gy they utilize in their work. I can only be grateful that I
have been the beneficiary of such a wealth of dedicated tal-
ent. Of course, I am fortunate enough and grateful to have
health insurance. But I am bothered by the thought that so
many in this country don’t have health insurance, and that
so many who do have it are in danger of losing it because of
the insane bungling we have been witnessing among the
political leaders of our country.
This past May, in speaking to a group of doctors , Pope
Francis said that health is not a consumer good but a univer-
sal right. If this is true, then health care can’t be treated
simply as a business. As in so many other instances in this
country, money guides the politics of health care. Thus, the
patient becomes the customer. We have to work hard and
pray intensely that the stony hearts of so many political and
business leaders may come to resemble more closely the
warm hearts that beat in so many clinics, hospitals, and nurs-
ing homes across this country.
—Fr. Jerome, C.P.

17º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Queridos Hermanos,
Proclamamos a Cristo crucificado; El poder de Dios y la sabiduría
de Dios. San Pablo de la Cruz utilizó estas palabras de San Pablo
para resumir la misión de los pasionistas.
La idea central de las escrituras es "Sabiduría"
Jesús es la sabiduría encarnada
Jesús es el tesoro en el campo
Jesús es la perla de gran precio
La sabiduría de Dios trae todas las cosas juntas para el bien de
aquellos que lo aman. La palabra de Dios da luz y entendimiento a
los humildes de corazón.
En la primera lectura Dios ofrece a Salomón cualquier cosa que
Salomón quiera y este elige el tesoro de la sabiduría y del discerni-
miento de corazón. Es joven y sabe que la sabiduría de Dios vale
más que la plata o el oro para ayudarlo a gobernar al pueblo.
En el Evangelio Jesús relata más parábolas acerca del Reino de Dios,
particularmente acerca de buscar y encontrar un tesoro. El reino de
Dios es un tesoro, las enseñanzas de Jesús son un tesoro que el
sabio hace todo lo que puede para obtener. Del mismo modo, el
Reino, las Palabras de Jesús y Jesús mismo es la perla de gran pre-
cio.
Jesús preguntó a los discípulos: ¿"Han entendido todo esto?" "Sí".
Ahora los discípulos y nosotros, somos como los escribanos sabios
que llevan las escrituras hebreas al cumplimiento en Jesús y en la
comunidad cristiana.
Al escuchar estas sagradas Escrituras de hoy, pongamos atención
para ver cuáles son los dones que Dios nos ofrece hoy y oremos
para obtener la gracia de elegir sabiamente.
