Suggested donation for a Mass Intention is $10.00.
LIFE EVERLASTING
The second book of Maccabees tells a
powerful story, and a rather gruesome
one at that. But central to it, beyond the
horrible deaths inflicted upon the brothers and their mother, is their belief in the
promise of resurrection and life everlasting in God.
Paul asks the Thessalonians to pray for him as he
spreads Christ’s message of love, so that he might be
delivered from other nonbelievers anxious to do him
harm. The apostle is confident in such prayer, just as he
is confident in the everlasting support of Jesus and God
the Father.
And there’s that “everlasting” word again. The Sadducees, not buying the idea, ask Jesus an interesting—
albeit meaningless—question about the status of married
life at the Resurrection. He tells the non-believers that
marriage isn’t an issue for the risen children of God.
More importantly, he assures them that their ancestors do
live on in God, even as evidenced by the Father’s words
to Moses.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the seventeenth century, English Catholics, many of
them wealthy and well educated, looked to the American
colonies as a place to regain a measure of religious freedom. In Ireland, the so-called penal laws were even
harsher than in England, as a minority Parliament tried
to force the conversion of the population by denying the
majority political and economic power. Beginning in
1691, laws were passed that punished dissenters, principally Catholics, but also causing hardship for Jews,
Quakers, and others. There were acts forbidding “mixed
marriage” or sending children “beyond the seas” for
schooling. Catholics were taxed at double the common
rate, barred from the legal professions and from university, and not allowed to build churches or own a decent
horse.
In 1793 the situation began to change, as it became
clear that the economic persecution would not drive the
majority away from Catholicism. Gradually, laws were
repealed until by 1829 freedom was won, although Catholics at university were ineligible for honors, and until
the 1920s and the Republic, the Church of Ireland was
the state church, funded by the taxes of all citizens.
Trigésimo Segundo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
6 de noviembre de 2016
Mis pies estuvieron firmes en tus caminos,
y no vacilaron mis paso.
Yo te invoco porque tú me respondes.
— Salmo 17 (16):5 6a
NO HACER COMPARACIONES
¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado acerca de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso despedido de su empleo,
por un roce con la ley? Mientras nuestras
mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que nos apiademos de
esa persona y que roguemos por ella, puede que una
vocecita interior también esté diciendo: “Me alegro de
que yo nunca haría algo así”.
Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas cosas
que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas de
hoy nos advierten no mirar tan atentamente a las maldades de otros que pasamos por alto nuestras propias
debilidades y defectos. Cuando nos comparamos con
las peores personas a nuestro alrededor, salimos bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay un peligro en usar la conducta ajena como medida para reflejar nuestras propias
virtudes.

Reflexión
VIDA ETERNA
El segundo libro de los Macabeos relata una historia poderosa, y
bastante horrible por cierto. Pero la
clave de ella, más allá de la horrible
muerte infligida a los hermanos y su
madre, es su fe en la promesa de resurrección y vida
eterna en Dios.
Pablo les pide a los tesalonicenses que recen por
él mientras difunde el mensaje de amor de Cristo,
para que pueda librarse de los no creyentes que quieren hacerle daño. El apóstol confía en esas oraciones, lo mismo que confía en el continuo apoyo de
Jesús y de Dios Padre.
Y ahí está otra vez la palabra “continuo”. Los
saduceos, que no se creían la idea tan facilmente, le
hacen a Jesús una interesante –aunque insignificante
– pregunta acerca del estatus de la vida matrimonial
después de la resurrección. Les responde a los no
creyentes que el matrimonio no es un tema para los
hijos de Dios resucitados. Más importante, les asegura que sus ancestros continúan vivos en Dios, como es evidente en las palabras del Padre a Moisés.
PARA MATRIMONIOS EN CRISIS

una comunicación significativa, o si han considerado la separación o el divorcio, Retrouvaille
(Redescubrir) los puede ayudar. El próximo programa en español empieza Febrero 10—12, 2017
