Jesus tells us that we cannot serve God and mammon. Mammon
means money or material wealth. We see Jesus’ point: we cannot be good Christians if
our desires, motives and pursuits are divided. We cannot on the one hand be faithful
Christians if on the other hand we are seeking to get rich. Those two ways of life conflict.
Jesus talks about serving a master. He doesn’t say that it’s wrong to serve God
and mammon, or that it’s not a good idea. He says it can’t be done. If you’re not serving
God, then you’re necessarily serving mammon. There is no in-between.
“Mammon” isn’t simply about money or material wealth as such. The Bible
doesn’t teach that merely having money or property is wrong. There is nothing wrong
with having money that you have rightly earned or that someone has given you.
So it seems Jesus is focusing on greedy, money-hungry people who only want to
get and stay rich without concern for anyone else.
Does this apply to everyone? Were the disciples driven only by the desire to get
rich? They were fishermen who didn’t have much chance of becoming rich in their line of
work. Shepherds likely heard Jesus teach this, and they likewise had little chance of
getting rich. Did they wonder if Jesus meant them?
Jesus was talking about serving masters. How does one serve God and how
does one serve mammon, two very different masters? One is a loving Father whose
kingdom shall have no end. The other is a cold ledger with red and black ink and is
passing away.
When we serve God, we serve what is eternal. When we serve mammon, we
serve that which perishes.
Serving means at least this: what worldview do we live by? Where does the
world begin and end as far as you can see? Serving God means our world begins and
ends with God’s will and purposes. We’re serving God if our lives are all about these
things.
On the other hand, if we serve mammon, we cannot at the same time serve God.
Again, there’s nothing wrong with honestly acquired wealth. And the Bible
doesn’t say that everyone must give up all their possessions and give to the poor. Jesus
did tell the young rich prince to give up all he had and give to the poor. That was just for
him. We can’t all give away everything to the poor, because we would only be adding to
their number.
It’s when our world begins and ends with money that we’re serving mammon.
Servants who serve masters are under that master’s control. If we attempt to serve two
masters, whoever they are, the purposes of each will conflict, and we will end up serving
the interests of neither.
If we are not serving God, if all that we say and do is not moving us closer to
fellowship with God and Christ-likeness, then we are necessarily serving mammon. We
work our jobs, buy our goods and services, all the while making a profit for someone else.
Failing to serve God plays right into the hand of mammon. When we don’t serve
God we can be sure that someone or something will fill that vacuum with something that
will serve the purposes of worldliness.
You cannot serve both God and mammon. Amen.
Blessings,
In Jesus
Fr. David

Jesús nos dice que no podemos servir a Dios y al dinero. Mammon significa dinero o
riqueza material. Vemos el punto de Jesús: no podemos ser buenos cristianos si nuestros
deseos, motivos y actividades están divididas. No podemos por un lado, ser fieles cristianos, si
por el contrario estamos tratando de hacernos ricos. Esas dos formas de vida están en conflicto.
Jesús habla de servir a un maestro. Él nos dice que es un error servir a Dios y al dinero,
o que no es una buena idea. Dice que no se puede hacer. Si tú no estás sirviendo a Dios,
entonces estás sirviendo necesariamente al dinero. No hay término medio.
"Mammon" no se trata sólo de dinero o riqueza material como tal. La Biblia no enseña
que el mero hecho de tener dinero o propiedades sea malo. No hay nada malo en tener dinero
que se ha ganado honestamente o que alguien te haya dado.
Parece que Jesús se está enfocando en las personas codiciosas, hambrientas de dinero
que sólo quieren conseguir y seguir siendo ricos sin preocuparse por ninguna otra persona.
¿Esto se aplica a todos? ¿Fueron los discípulos impulsados únicamente por el deseo de
hacerse ricos? Eran pescadores que no tenían muchas posibilidades de llegar a ser ricos en su
línea de trabajo. Los pastores probablemente escuchando a Jesús enseñar esto, ellos al igual
tenían pocas posibilidades de hacerse ricos. Se preguntaban, ¿Qué era lo que Jesús les quería
decir?
Jesús estaba hablando acerca de servir a amos. ¿Cómo alguien puede servir a Dios y
cómo puede servir al dinero, a dos amos muy diferentes? Uno de ellos es un Padre amoroso y su
reino no tendrá fin. El otro es un libro de contabilidad frío con tinta roja y negro, y esto pasará.
Cuando servimos a Dios, servimos a lo que es eterno. Cuando servimos al dinero,
servimos a lo que perece.
Servir significa: ¿La visión del mundo por lo que vivimos? ¿Hasta dónde alcanzas a ver
que comienza el mundo y termina? Servir a Dios significa que nuestro mundo comienza y termina
con la voluntad y los propósitos de Dios. Estamos sirviendo a Dios si nuestra vida está enfocada
en esto.
Por otro lado, si servimos al dinero, no podemos al mismo tiempo servir a Dios.
Una vez más, no hay nada malo con la riqueza adquirida con honestidad. Y la Biblia no
dice que todas las personas deben renunciar a todos sus bienes y dárselos a los pobres. Jesús,
sí le dijo al rico joven príncipe que renunciara a todo lo que tenía y que se lo diera a los pobres.
Eso fue sólo para él. No todos podemos dar todo a los pobres, ya que sólo estaríamos
añadiéndonos a su número.
Es cuando nuestro mundo comienza y termina con el dinero, si estamos al servicio de
las riquezas. Los sirvientes que sirven a su amo están bajo el control de ese amo. Si tratamos de
servir a dos amos, quien quiera que sea, el propósito de cada uno entrará en conflicto, y vamos a
terminar sirviendo a los intereses de ninguno.
Si no estamos sirviendo a Dios, si todo lo que decimos y hacemos no nos acerca más a
la comunión con Dios y a la semejanza de Cristo, entonces, estamos sirviendo al dinero.
Trabajamos en nuestros puestos de trabajo, compramos nuestros bienes y servicios, al mismo
tiempo hacemos un beneficio para alguien más.
El no poder servir a Dios es caer en manos del dinero. Cuando no servimos a Dios, no
podemos estar seguros de que alguien o algo vayan a llenar ese vacío con algo que sirva a los
propósitos de lo mundano.
No se puede servir a Dios y al dinero. Amén.
¡Bendiciones!
En Jesús
Padre David

JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY –
December 8, 2015November 20, 2016
~~~The Face of Mercy
(Misericordiae Vultus)~~~
from Francis, Bishop of Rome
AÑO DEL JUBILEO
DE LA MISERICORDIA –
Del 8 de diciembre 2015al 20 de noviembre 2016
~~~ El Rostro de la Misericordia
(Misericordiae Vultus) ~~~
Francisco, Obispo de Roma
(Article 23) “As we ponder the meaning
of mercy this year, we do so as neighbors to
Jews and Muslims.
Both of these great
traditions consider mercy to be one of God’s
most important attributes. Both are steeped in
understanding God as mercy and kindness. I
hope that during this Jubilee we can encounter
these and other great religious traditions and
dialogue with them.”
(Artículo 23) "Al meditar sobre el
significado de la misericordia este año, lo
hacemos
como
vecinos
a
Judíos
y
musulmanes. Ambos están inmersos en la
comprensión de Dios como misericordia y
bondad. Espero que durante este Jubileo
podamos encontrar estas y otras grandes
tradiciones religiosas y el diálogo con ellos".
Misericordes sicut Pater! (Be merciful, just
as your Father is merciful – Luke 6:36)
"Misericordes sicut Pater! (Sed, pues,
misericordiosos, como también vuestro
Padre es misericordioso – San Lucas 6:36)"

One soul coming before the Blessed Sacrament can
change the world!

The Special Collection for October 9th is in support of
Hope for the Future and the Catholic schools and
students within our community. Your support will help
fund tuition assistance and grants for the 43 schools in
the Archdiocese of San Antonio. “Everything indeed is
for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on
more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to
overflow for the glory of God.” (2 Cor 4:15)
Your contribution will help more children receive a
priceless Catholic school education where they can

waged on marriage today, Greg and Julie believe that
our goal should be to support all couples in having
thriving and joy filled relationships. It is only through a
change of hearts brought about by personal
evangelization that our society will begin to change
and be reshaped; bringing the Good News to as many
couples as possible!

VINNIE’S ON BROADWAY
NOTES FROM THE HEART
The volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul on Broadway
would like to share with you our work that your
donations and thrift shop support make possible
while keeping confidential the identities of our
brothers and sisters in need that we assist.
A recent customer to the Thrift Store was looking for
books to expand on Fr. David's Myth or Fact
night. Came in for a book, left with four. All very
needed.
Something that makes the volunteers that price items
for the store sad is to get picture frames donated that
still have family photos in them. Even once the
family was recognized by a volunteer who called the
family. Nope, didn't need the photo, had other
copies.
How can you price memories or sell
them? We sell the frames.
A senior citizen born and raised in Kerrville stopped
in for some assistance before leaving town. Much as
he hated to, he needed to move because he could no
longer afford Kerrville's apartment rents.
A resident of a local motel died without funds for
burial. We were asked to help. We turn this request
down.
The county ended up providing the
service. We helped the surviving spouse with living
expense instead.
WISH LIST:
More volunteers in Food Pantry and to do pick-ups.

from the Notre Dame Parish Library are

featuring books for your continuing
education.
Forming Intentional Disciples: The
Path to Knowing and Following Jesus,
by Sherry A. Weddell is already familiar
to our parish leaders who are part of the
Evangelism Team. It was one of the first
books used in the introductory workshop
last year, and was called “very helpful” by
a team member.
Mrs. Waddell reports that after eight
years of of interviewing and leading
evangelization seminars, “We learned that
there is a chasm the size of the Grand
Canyon
between
the
Church’s
sophisticated
theology
of
the
lay
apostolate and the lived spiritual
experience of the majority of our people.
And this chasm has a name: discipleship.
We learned that the majority of even
‘active’ American Catholics are still at an
early, essentially passive stage of spiritual
development.”
In the final chapter, Mrs. Waddell warns
us: “For many centuries. the Church has
taught that God gave us our intellect, will,
and strength to use in his service.
Catholicism famously honors the intellect
in its relationship to faith. But we are
seriously mistaken if we think and plan
as though all we can expect to see happen
in our parishes is what we could expect to
see happen in any secular nonprofit filled
with clever people. If we are going to
seriously evangelize our own, we had
better be prepared for the Holy Spirit to
do things in people’s lives and in our
parishes that are not part of our five-year
plans.”
