Stewardship Reflections
19 Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For where your treasure is, there also will your heart
be.” Luke 12:34
Jesus encourages us to build up our treasure in
heaven. The world encourages us to build up our
treasure in real estate, investments, and material
goods. How much time are you investing in building up
a worldly treasure? How much time are you investing in
building up a heavenly treasure? To invest more time in
the things of heaven, you must let go of some of the
things of this world.

Reflexiones de la Corresponsabilidad
190 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Porque donde esté tu tesoro, también allí estará tu corazón."
Lucas 12:34
Jesús nos anima a construir nuestro tesoro en el cielo. El
mundo nos anima a construir nuestro tesoro en bienes
raíces, inversiones y bienes materiales. ¿Cuánto tiempo
estás invirtiendo en la construcción de un tesoro
terrenal? ¿Cuánto tiempo estás invirtiendo en la
construcción de un tesoro celestial? Para invertir más
tiempo en las cosas del cielo, debes dejar de lado algunas
de las cosas de este mundo.
Reflections by Father Karl
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The second reading today from Hebrews deserves special attention. In this reading St. Paul first offers
a definition of faith; that, in itself, is unusual. “Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence
of things not seen.” These few words challenge us to seriously consider what and how we believe. We
are asked to believe in something we cannot touch or see. So how do we believe?
Faith, as described by St. Paul, is not simply blind faith. Faith is most often a choice we consciously
make. Abraham and Sarah are used as examples in this reading: when Abraham was tested by God
by being asked to sacrifice his own son there is no doubt that Abraham was confused and frightened.
Yet, Abraham made the decision to obey God.
Faith is a decision we make each day. Coming to Mass or going to confession is an act of faith. People have the freedom to do whatever they want and to go wherever they want: no one physically forces
us to come to Mass, but still we come. Sometimes we feel that our faith is weak or nonexistent—
nothing could be further from the truth. The fact that we struggle with such feelings means that we do
indeed have faith. Sometimes we just don’t feel good about our faith.
Our presence at Mass here today reveals something important about us. We come to Mass essentially
because we seek the support and encouragement of the community. Trying to live a life of faith without
other believers around us is impossible; we need the support and prayers of the Church. When we are
surrounded by fellow believers it is possible to believe ourselves.
19° domingo del tiempo ordinario
La segunda lectura de hoy del libro de Hebreos, merece una atención especial. Primeramente, en esta
lectura San Pablo ofrece una definición de la fe; que, en sí misma, no es común. "La fe es la realización de lo que se espera y la evidencia de lo que no se ve. "Estas pocas palabras nos desafían a considerar seriamente en qué y cómo creemos. Se nos pide creer en algo que no podemos ver o tocar.
Entonces, ¿Por qué creemos?
La fe, según lo descrito por San Pablo, no es simplemente una fe ciega. La fe es una elección que hacemos conscientemente muy a menudo. Abraham y Sara son utilizados como ejemplo en esta lectura:
cuando Abraham fue puesto a prueba por Dios y le pidió sacrificar a su propio hijo, no hay duda de que
Abraham estaba confundido y asustado. Sin embargo, Abraham tomó la decisión de obedecer a Dios.
La fe es una decisión que tomamos cada día. El venir a misa o ir a la confesión es un acto de fe. La
gente tiene la libertad de hacer lo que quiere y de ir a donde quiere: nadie nos obliga físicamente a venir a misa, pero venimos. A veces sentimos que nuestra fe es débil o inexistente, nada podría estar
más lejos de la verdad. El hecho de que luchamos con tales sentimientos significa que sí tenemos fe.
A veces, simplemente no nos sentimos bien en lo que a nuestra fe se refiere.
Nuestra presencia en la misa hoy, aquí, revela algo importante sobre nosotros. Venimos a misa esencialmente porque buscamos el apoyo y el aliento de la comunidad. Tratar de vivir una vida de fe sin
otros creyentes alrededor de nosotros es imposible; necesitamos el apoyo y las oraciones de la Iglesia.
Cuando estamos rodeados de hermanos en la fe, nos es posible creer.
