Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 23, 2014
Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy. — Leviticus 19:2b
GIVE BETTER THAN YOU RECEIVE
Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel
continue to contrast the Jewish law
and practice with the practice of the
followers of Jesus. Today’s Gospel
continues with slight variations the formulation: “You have heard . . .” and
“What I say to you is . . .” The old laws of retaliation were
once created to soften the severe and vengeful retaliations
common among the peoples that surrounded the struggling
people of God. The would-be followers of Jesus again feel
surrounded by people bent on retaliation. So Matthew presents Jesus, who asks his followers not only not to retaliate
at all but to “turn the other cheek.”
He asks that his listeners give the one who asks more
than he or she seeks. Jesus asks us to love and pray for
those of our home country and the alien, the ones who love
us and the ones who hate us.

Heart Speaks to Heart
The ancient concept of justice, “an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” is from Exodus
21:24, Leviticus 24:20 and Deuteronomy 19:21, and was
originally meant to limit retribution from escalating into blood
feuds between clans. It was later misused to exact a form of
personal justice. Instead, Jesus proposed a new approach,
one that leads not to justice on Earth but in Heaven.
Loving our enemies or those who have offended us
repeatedly requires forgiveness. Sometimes forgiveness
seems impossible but we are to teach and treat others the
way Jesus does even to loving our enemies and praying for
our persecutors and those who put us down and talk bad
things about us. As Christians, we are to be Christ to others.
That means teaching not just by our words but by our
actions, too.
Then Jesus directed us to “be perfect.” That we cannot do
without the help of the Holy Spirit to guide us, and by faithful
attendance at Mass. Through the Eucharist, we are
nourished by the very body and blood of Jesus. He gives us
the strength we need to live a more perfect life.
God bless you.
Fr. Alex
FORGIVING AN ENEMY
Who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet tasted
one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
—Johann Kaspar Lavater
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Olive oil looms large in the vocabulary of baptism.
There are other oils in the pantry closet, from grapeseed to
safflower to canola, but only olives yield the proper
meanings. Olives don’t just happen; they are cultivated,
nurtured, pruned, and fussed over; they are a sign of human
and divine cooperation. Olives can thrive in poor soil, but
they cannot survive without human ingenuity, planting
shoots and pruning branches. They can’t be popped from a
tree and munched like apples: they are inedible without long
curing; neither do they yield their oil to hand pressure alone,
but only to huge stone mills. Abundant patience is needed
as sediment sinks to the bottom of storage barrels and pure
oil rises to the surface.
Olive oil is a byproduct of peace: war keeps harvesters,
planters, and pruners within city walls and turns millers into
soldiers. To obtain oil from olives you need vast measures
of hope, patience, faith, and ingenuity. Olive oil is a sign of
God’s bounty and the way we human beings collaborate
with God to bring about impossibly wonderful results. It is
creation at its finest. Some people give chocolate eggs for
Easter; perhaps olive oil is a more appropriate gift!

The first collection and the second collection
amounts will be in next week’s bulletin due to the
Presidents’ Day holiday. In today’s first reading, the
Israelites are urged to love their neighbors as themselves.
In the Gospel, Jesus spells out how we are to do that — to
give generously to those who ask of us and not to turn our
backs on those who seek to borrow.

PERDÓN
Aquel que no puede perdonar a los demás rompe el
puente que deberá cruzar para alcanzar el cielo; porque
todos tienen la necesidad de ser perdonados.
—George Herbert
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Aún lo recuerdo, estaba viajando en
el metro de la
ciudad de Roma cuando subieron dos
mujeres con niños. Vestían como si
fueran a una fiesta de disfraces. Noté que todas las personas las evitaban. Eran gitanas, esas a las que mi mamá y
mis tías me iban a dar si no me portaba bien. Los gitanos
no tienen una buena reputación entre las naciones. Tienen
la misma reputación de los pastores de Palestina que
vivieron en tiempos de Jesús. Se piensa que son ladrones
e inmorales, gente a la que hay que tenerle miedo.
Sin embargo, decimos que Jesús es nuestro Buen
Pastor. En Jesús, todas las personas que jamás
creeríamos capaces de alcanzar la santidad, lo logran. Tal
es el caso del Pelé o Zeferino Jiménez, un gitano que en
1936 fue fusilado por militares españoles. El motive de su
muerte fue la enseñanza y difusión de la fe en Cristo. Su
muerte fue la cumbre de una vida de fe como franciscano
seglar. El ejemplo de vida que este Gitano nos dio, logró
hacer que los españoles lo respetaran y olvidaran sus prejuicios en contra de su gente. Además de eso, evangelizó
a sus hermanos gitanos.
