YAC Book Discussion, Tuesdays Until Thanksgiving Join fellow young adults in their 20s and 30s as we read The Screwtape Letters, reflect on the moral life, commit ourselves to doing better and have a rollicking good time. C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is a much-beloved satiric masterpiece. The book is a very funny yet very serious meditation on the temptation to sin and on how to overcome it. Meetings will take place in the Lower Church on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. running weekly until Thanksgiving. We will begin each session by reading aloud the week's 'letter.' You do not need your own copy of the book, but it could only help to read the chapters ahead of time. Contact Paul Masur ([email protected]) for information on obtaining a new copy of the book for about $8.50. For general questions, contact Paul or Daniel Orazio ([email protected]). There is no need to RSVP. We hope to see you soon!

Buscaba lo que el salmo de hoy llama "sabiduría del corazón." Se entera de que la sabiduría que busca no es un programa de obras a realizar, o comportamientos que hay que evitar. Cuando Jesús le dice, observando los mandamientos es esencial para caminar el camino de la salvación, pero puede sólo nos conseguir hasta ahora. La sabiduría de Dios no es preceptos, pero un Cristo en la persona de Jesús. Jesús es la Sabiduría cuyo Espíritu se concedió a Salomón en la primera lectura. Jesús es la Palabra de Dios habla en la epístola de hoy. Y Jesús, como Él se revela al hombre rico hoy, es Dios. En Jesús encontramos la sabiduría, la Palabra viva y eficaz de Dios. Como lo hace con el hombre rico hoy, Él mira a cada uno de nosotros con amor. Esa mirada de amor, que el amor la mirada, es una invitación a personal dejarlo todo para seguirlo. Nada está oculto de su mirada, como escuchamos en la epístola. En sus ojos de fuego, los pensamientos de nuestros corazones están expuestos, y cada uno de nosotros ha de rendir cuentas de nuestras vidas (ver Apocalipsis 01:14). Debemos tener la actitud de Salomón, prefiriendo Sabiduría para todo, amarlo más que incluso la vida misma. Esta preferencia, este amor, requiere un salto de fe. Seremos perseguidos por esta fe, Jesús dice a sus discípulos de hoy. Pero tenemos que confiar en su promesa de que todas las cosas buenas vendrán a nosotros en su empresa. Entonces, ¿qué son los "muchos bienes" que nos impiden entregarnos totalmente a Dios? ¿Qué estamos aferrados-a las cosas materiales, zonas de confort, las relaciones? ¿Qué se necesita para que podamos vivir plenamente por el amor de Cristo y de la causa del Evangelio? Oremos por la sabiduría para entrar en el reino de Dios. Con el salmista, Pidámosle, "Enséñanos."
