Stewardship Reflections
24 Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Everything I have is yours.” Luke 15:31
th
Our Heavenly Father gives us everything,
including the chance to share in His eternal
kingdom. Yet, like the Prodigal Son we are often
lured away by the materialism of our society. Do
we really want to turn our backs on all that God
offers in exchange for a material wealth that has
no lasting value?
Reflexiones de la Corresponsabilidad
240 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Todo lo que tengo es tuyo." Lucas 15:31
Nuestro Padre Celestial nos lo da todo,
incluyendo la oportunidad de compartir su reino
eterno. Sin embargo, somos como el hijo pródigo
que a menudo somos atraídos por el materialismo
de nuestra sociedad. ¿Realmente queremos dar la
espalda a todo lo que Dios nos ofrece a cambio del
bienestar material que no tiene valor duradero?
Pro-Life Quote of the Week
“I’ve noticed that everyone who is for
abortion has already been born.”
~Ronald Reagan~
Reflections by Father Karl
24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the first reading today from Exodus we witness an interchange between God and Moses. The Israelites in Moses’ absence
have fashioned for themselves a golden calf and have begun worshiping it. They have abandoned their faith in the Living God for
something they themselves have made. Moses is able to thwart the anger of God and later returns to his people with the
commandments of God.
This reading brings to mind some serious issues facing Catholics today. We believe that we are part of the Church that Christ
himself founded when he imposed upon Peter leadership of all the followers and still we hear of many people walking away from
the Catholic Church. Sometimes they simply abandon the practice of their faith or perhaps they go to another Christian
denomination because it better suits their “needs.” In any case, it is disturbing that so many people walk away from the Church.
Most people abandon the Church not out of ill will or malice but due to simple ignorance. Most people who leave the Catholic
Church know very little about it. I have often had people say that they have left because they “were not being fed.” How can this
be? We have the opportunity to come to Mass and receive the true Body and Blood of the Lord each week, even every day.
Sometimes people don’t like the sermons they hear or perhaps they don’t like the accent of the priest. What are people looking
for in a sermon; entertainment or the truth? Also, did Jesus have a different accent from some of the people privileged to hear
him? Most probably! When St. Paul was on his apostolic journeys was he easily understood by all? Most likely not!
The challenge for all Catholics, especially adults, is to learn more about the Catholic Faith and to better understand what the
Church teaches. Guided by the Holy Spirit, as Christ promised, the Church continues to teach with authority in the name of
Christ. Individual men and women can formulate independent opinions on theological subjects; but, these opinions are fallible.
The Church teaches the truth because it is guided by Christ himself. Sometimes theologians, priests and even bishops begin to
teach their own personal opinion rather than the true teaching of the Church. To do so is a grave matter and possibly gravely
sinful for the one teaching. Christ warns those charged with teaching in the Church to avoid misleading the flock.
If you want to learn more about the Catholic Church look for good Catholic books to read and good Catholic teachers on the
internet. I suggest several sources of material: EWTN; Franciscan Press; Ignatius Press; or the website of the United States
Council of Catholic Bishops. Also the Diocese of Fort Worth website contains numerous links to good information.
Let us pray for the grace to learn more about our precious Catholic Faith.
23° domingo del tiempo ordinario
Hoy en la primera lectura de Éxodo, somos testigos de un intercambio de palabras entre Dios y Moisés. Los israelitas en la
ausencia de Moisés han formado un becerro de oro y han comenzado a adorarlo. Han abandonado su fe en el Dios vivo por algo
que ellos mismos han hecho. Moisés es capaz de evitar la ira de Dios y más tarde regresa a su pueblo con los mandamientos de
Dios.
Esta lectura trae a la mente algunos problemas graves que enfrentan hoy en día los católicos. Creemos que somos parte de la
Iglesia que Cristo mismo fundó cuando impuso a Pedro el liderazgo de todos los seguidores y aun así sabemos de muchas
personas que se alejan de la Iglesia Católica. A veces simplemente abandonan la práctica de su fe o tal vez van a otra
denominación cristiana porque se adapta mejor a sus “necesidades.” En cualquier caso, es preocupante que tanta gente se valla
de la Iglesia.
La mayoría de la gente que abandona la Iglesia no lo hace por mala voluntad o malicia, pero debido a simple ignorancia. La
mayoría de las personas que abandonan la Iglesia Católica saben muy poco sobre ella. A menudo he tenido que escuchar a
gente decir que ellos se han alejado porque "no estaban siendo alimentados." ¿Cómo puede ser esto? Tenemos la oportunidad
de venir a misa y recibir el verdadero Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor cada semana, incluso todos los días. A veces a las personas
no les gustan los sermones que oyen o tal vez no les gusta el acento del cura. ¿Qué es lo que las personas buscan en un
sermón; entretenimiento o la verdad? Además, ¿Tuvo Jesús un acento diferente de algunas de las personas que tuvieron el
privilegio de oírlo? ¡Probablemente sí! Cuando San Pablo estaba en sus viajes apostólicos, ¿Todos le entendían fácilmente?
¡Probablemente no!
El reto para todos los católicos, especialmente los adultos, es aprender más sobre la fe católica y comprender mejor lo que la
Iglesia enseña. Guiada por el Espíritu Santo, como Cristo lo prometió, la Iglesia continúa enseñando con autoridad en nombre de
Cristo. Los hombres y las mujeres se pueden formular opiniones independientes sobre temas teológicos individuales; pero, estas
opiniones son dudosas. La Iglesia enseña la verdad porque es guiada por el mismo Cristo. A veces los teólogos, sacerdotes y
hasta obispos comienzan a enseñar su propia opinión personal en lugar de la verdadera enseñanza de la Iglesia. Hacer esto es
algo grave y posiblemente un pecado grave de quien da esta enseñanza. Cristo les advierte a los encargados de la enseñanza
en la Iglesia para evitar que guíen mal al rebaño.
Si desea obtener más información sobre el las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica, busque buenos libros católicos para leer, y
buenos maestros católicos en el Internet. Les sugiero varias fuentes de información: EWTN; Prensa Franciscana; Ignatius
Press; o la página de internet del Consejo de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos, USCCB. También la página de internet
de la Diócesis de Fort Worth contiene numerosos enlaces a información buena.
Oremos por la gracia de aprender más acerca de nuestra preciosa Fe Católica.
