Stewardship Reflections
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For behold, some are last who will be first and some are first
who will be last.” Luke 13:30
Our standards in our society are so different from God’s
standards. We often rate or rank people by what they
have, how powerful they are, or how successful they
are. Jesus reminds us that God will not judge us by the
same earthly standards.
Reflexiones de la Corresponsabilidad
210 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Porque los últimos serán primeros, y los primeros serán los
últimos." Lucas 13:30
Los estándares en nuestra sociedad son tan diferentes de
las normas de Dios. A menudo calificamos o damos
rangos a las personas por lo que tienen, por lo poderosos
que son, o por el éxito que tienen. Jesús nos recuerda que
Dios no nos va a juzgar por los mismos estándares de la
Tierra.
Reflections by Father Karl
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today the second reading is again taken from Hebrews. St. Paul challenges the followers of Jesus to
accept the “trials” of their lives as “discipline.” We find these words difficult to accept because we
generally want things to go well in our lives and we certainly don’t want to be disciplined for our
transgressions. It seems that St. Paul is alluding to a basic truth: we must take responsibility for our
actions. When we do something wrong, there are always consequences. The “discipline” of which St.
Paul speaks is taking action to change. Sin can teach us something if we are willing to learn.
In the Gospel today Jesus is asked if “many will be saved.” Instead of giving a direct answer Jesus
then instructs the people about striving to enter the Kingdom of God. It is almost as if the man is
asking the wrong question—it is not so much whether many will enter the Kingdom of God; rather, the
point is that we should always strive for the Kingdom. If we are people who are intent on serving God
and finding the Kingdom we really don’t have time to worry about whether we are going to “make it.”
The real question for us is whether we are running away from condemnation and death or whether we
are running toward Christ and his Kingdom.
Jesus answers as he does because he wants to teach us how to live our lives. He is asking us to
adopt a different mindset—a different way of thinking. In the mind of Christ there is no room for
fear—only a desire to know and serve God.
21° domingo del tiempo ordinario
Hoy la segunda lectura nuevamente es tomada de libro de los Hebreos. San Pablo desafía a los
seguidores de Jesús a aceptar las tribulaciones de sus vidas como “disciplina”. Encontramos estas
palabras difíciles de aceptar porque generalmente queremos que todo vaya bien en nuestras vidas y
ciertamente no queremos ser disciplinados por nuestras ofensas. Pareciera que San Pablo esta
haciendo referencia a una verdad básica. Nosotros debemos asumir responsabilidad por nuestras
acciones. Cuando hacemos algo mal, siempre hay consecuencias. “La disciplina” de la que San Pablo
habla es el tomar medidas para cambiar. El pecado nos puede enseñar algo si estamos dispuestos a
aprender.
En el Evangelio hoy, se le pregunta a Jesús si es que “muchos serán salvados.” En lugar de dar una
respuesta directa, Jesús indica a la gente que debe esforzarse para entrar en el Reino de Dios. Es
casi como si el hombre está haciendo la pregunta equivocada - no se trata tanto de que si muchos
entrarán en el Reino de Dios; más bien, el punto es que siempre debemos esforzarnos por el Reino.
Si somos personas que tienen la intención de servir a Dios y encontrar el Reino, realmente no
tenemos tiempo para preocuparnos de que si vamos a “llegar". La verdadera pregunta para nosotros
es si es que estamos huyendo de la condenación y la muerte o si estamos corriendo hacia Cristo y su
Reino.
Jesús responde como lo hace porque quiere enseñarnos cómo vivir nuestras vidas. Él nos pide que
adoptemos una mentalidad diferente, una forma de pensar diferente. En la mente de Cristo no hay
lugar para el miedo, sólo el deseo de conocer y servir a Dios.
