Actually neither statement is completely true. There are many things to do in this life, but really few things that are vitally important. Working, searching, conniving, and worrying our way to “gratify[ing] the desires of the flesh,” as Paul relates in today’s second reading, are really non-productive. So little time? When we take on the freedom that Christ offers us, we have all the time we need in this world, and even more in the next. Elisha, the prophet Elijah’s chosen servant, was slightly befuddled about what he should do. When Elijah called, he returned to bid farewell to his parents and provide food for his people. Only then did he follow. Jesus demands something different, something more of his disciples. He calls us to a single-minded determination to drop everything and follow him. Now, not later. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The LORD tells Elijah to anoint Elisha as prophet to succeed him (1 Kings 19:16b, 19-21). Psalm — You are my inheritance, O Lord (Psalm 16). Second Reading — Use your freedom in Christ to serve one another through love (Galatians 5:1, 13-18). Gospel — While journeying to Jerusalem, Jesus speaks of the costs of discipleship (Luke 9:51-62).

Año de la Misericordia Jesús sigue tocando en nuestras puertas, las puertas de nuestras vidas. Él no hace esto por medio magia, o con efectos especiales, o con luces electricas o con fuegos artificiales. Jesús sigue tocando nuestras puertas en los rostros de nuestros hermanos y hermanas, en los rostros de nuestros vecinos, en los rostros de los que están a nuestro lado. Cita del Papa Francisco TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El último sábado de junio o el primero de julio en un ayuntamiento de Valcidacos, España, se pone en escena el Miserere escrito por Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870). Esta obra relata como un músico llega de noche a la Abadía de Fetero pidiendo posada. Los hermanos del monasterio lo invitaron a pasar la noche. Allí él les contó su vida pecaminosa y su deseo de encontrar un Miserere (Salmo 51) digno de expiar sus pecados ante Dios. Le contaron del Miserere del Monte que cantaban durante la noche los monjes difuntos de un Monasterio que había sido destruido siglos atrás. El músico afanado por encontrar su Miserere, corrió a la montaña donde escuchó aquel lamentoso y bello canto. Al regresar a la Abadía intentó escribir la música de aquel Miserere, pero lo único que logro fue volverse loco. Aquel pobre hombre murió sin reconocer que cada quien debe entonar a su manera su propio y pobre Miserere mei (piedad de mi). Dios no nos perdona por la belleza o la fuerza de nuestra confesión, sino por su amor y su misericordia. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. 26 de junio de 2016 Decimotercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 26 de junio de 2016 “El que empuña el arado y mira hacia atrás, no sirve para el Reino de Dios”. — Lucas 9:62 CONCÉNTRATE EN LA MISIÓN “Hay tantas cosas que hacer”. “Tenemos tan poco tiempo”. ¿Cuántas variantes de estas afirmaciones has oído o incluso dicho tú mismo? En realidad, ninguna de las dos es completamente verdadera. Hay muchas cosas que hacer en esta vida, pero realmente pocas cosas que son de vital importancia. Esforzarse, buscar, actuar en convivencia y preocuparse en pos del “desorden egoísta del hombre”, como nos dice san Pablo en la segunda lectura de hoy, no es en absoluto productivo. ¿Tan poco tiempo? Cuando tomamos la libertad que Cristo nos ofrece, tenemos todo el tiempo que necesitamos en este mundo y aún más en el que sigue. Eliseo, el sirviente elegido del profeta Elías, estaba un tanto aturdido sin saber qué debía hacer. Cuando Elías lo llamó, regresó a despedirse de sus padres y a darle comida a su gente. Sólo después lo siguió. Jesús nos pide algo diferente, algo digno de sus discípulos. Nos pide una determinación absoluta para dejar todo y seguirlo. Ahora, no después. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor le dice a Elías que unja a Eliseo como profeta para ser su sucesor (1 Reyes 19:16b, 19-21). Salmo — Enséñanos, Señor, el camino de la vida (Salmo16 [15]). Segunda lectura — Usa tu libertad en Cristo para servirse unos a otros mediante el amor (Gálatas 5:1, 13-18). Evangelio — Mientras viajaban a Jerusalén, Jesús reprocha a los discípulos que querían que bajara fuego del cielo sobre una aldea samaritana (Lucas 9:51-62).
