Pro-Life Quote of the Week
"I feel that the greatest destroyer of
peace today is abortion, because it is a
war against the child, a direct killing of
the innocent child, murder by the mother
herself."
~ Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta ~
"Siento que el mayor destructor de la paz
hoy en día, es el aborto, porque es una
guerra contra los niño, un homicidio
directo, contra una criatura inocente,
asesinada por su propia madre."
~ Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta ~
Reflections by Father Karl
25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s first reading from the Book of Amos is appropriate for our reflection today.
The prophet Amos lived in the eighth century before Christ and, unlike some other prophets, was not a member
of the priestly or upper classes. Amos was a simple herdsman sent by God to prophesy against Israel. He was
passionate in his love for Israel and was a true patriot.
Amos is sent by God to preach against the prevailing attitudes of some of the upper class and wealthier Jews.
It seems that these people were using their positions as merchants to cheat the poorer members of society out
of what little they did have. The grain merchants would short the people by deliberately making the “ephah”
smaller. The “ephah” was the unit of measure(volume) for grain—the merchants cheated the poor by selling
them a smaller amount than they thought they were getting. If the grain was sold by weight the scales were
“fixed” in the merchant’s favor. The merchants were outwardly “religious” but their religion was for show only.
Amos quotes them as longing for the Sabbath to pass so they could get back to their cheating. The law of God
called for fairness and justice in all transactions but these merchants were more interested in personal gain.
God’s law protected the poor and downtrodden—God’s law mattered to the merchants, but only on the Sabbath.
These words from 2,800 years ago challenge us today. We must consider how easily we place our religion, our
faith, into a compartment. As followers of Christ, our faith must impact all aspects of our life. When it comes to
business transactions are we willing to accept an honest profit or are we out to get everything we can? When
we grow past self-serving and pure self-interest we come to a point where we can live in true peace and
harmony with the people around us.
Peace and harmony are key characteristics of the Kingdom of God.
25° domingo del tiempo ordinario
La primera lectura de hoy, tomada del libro de Amós es apropiada para nuestra reflexión.
El profeta Amós vivió en el siglo VIII antes de Cristo y a diferencia de otros profetas, no era un miembro de las
clases sacerdotales o superiores. Amós era un pastor sencillo enviado por Dios a profetizar contra Israel. Era
apasionado en su amor por Israel y era un verdadero patriota.
Amós es enviado por Dios para predicar en contra de las actitudes predominantes de algunos judíos ricos y de
la clase alta. Parece ser que estas personas estaban usando sus posiciones como comerciantes para estafar
de lo poco que tenían a los miembros más pobres de la sociedad. Los comerciantes de grano/semillas
engañaban a la gente haciendo deliberadamente el "ephah" más pequeño. El "ephah" era la unidad de medida
(volumen) del grano/semillas- los comerciantes estafaban a los pobres vendiéndoles una cantidad más
pequeña de lo que ellos pensaban que estaban recibiendo. Si el grano era vendido por su peso, las basculas
eran “arregladas" a favor del comerciante. Los comerciantes eran exteriormente "religiosos", pero su religión
era solo para lucirla. Amós los presenta como personas anhelantes de que pasara el día de reposo para volver
a sus estafas. La ley de Dios requiere la igualdad y justicia en todas las transacciones, pero estos
comerciantes estaban más interesados en obtener beneficios personales. La ley de Dios protegía a los pobres
y oprimidos, la ley de Dios era importante para los comerciantes, pero sólo en el día de reposo.
Estas palabras de hace 2.800 años atrás nos desafían hoy. Debemos tener en cuenta la facilidad con la que
ponemos nuestra religión, nuestra fe, en un estuche/cartón. Como seguidores de Cristo, nuestra fe debe tocar
todos los aspectos de nuestra vida. Cuando se trata de negocios, ¿estamos dispuestos a aceptar un beneficio
honesto/una ganancia honrada? o lo hacemos para sacarle todo lo que se pueda. Cuando crecemos más allá
del interés y beneficio propios, es entonces que llegamos a un punto en el que podemos vivir en verdadera paz
y armonía con las personas que nos rodean.
La paz y la armonía son características clave del Reino de Dios.

Stewardship Reflections
25 Sunday in Ordinary Time
“No servant can serve two masters. He will hate one and love the
other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and mammon (wealth).” LUKE 16:13
th
Is money a “god” that you put before God? Giving money
to support the Church and other charity is a pillar of our
Faith, just like attending Mass every Sunday and
participating in parish ministry. Giving money frees us
from being a slave to money and increases our dependence
on God and to trust that He will provide all that we need.
Reflexiones de la Corresponsabilidad
240 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Ningún siervo puede servir a dos señores. Porque aborrecerá a
uno y amará al otro, o se apegará a uno y despreciará al otro. No
se puede servir a Dios y a las riquezas." Lucas 16:13
¿Es el dinero un "dios" que pones antes que a Dios? Dar
dinero para apoyar a la Iglesia y otras caridades es un pilar
de nuestra Fe, así como asistir a misa todos los domingos y
participar en el ministerio parroquial. Dar dinero nos libera
de ser un esclavo del dinero y aumenta nuestra
dependencia en Dios y confiar en que Él proveerá todo lo
que necesitamos.
