Website: www.nativityburke.org Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 27, 2013 The following may be humorous to some, but they contain a great deal of wisdom. Read them slowly. After reflection you might find that some of them could apply to you. And remember... LIFE ISN'T TIED WITH A BOW … BUT IT IS STILL A GIFT. ****************************************************************************** The nicest thing about the future is...that it starts tomorrow. If you don’t have a sense of humor...you probably don’t have any sense at all. Money will buy a fine dog...but only kindness will make him wag his tail. A good time to keep your mouth shut is...when you’re in deep water. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark...to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? Why is it at class reunions...you feel younger than everyone else looks? There are no new sins...the old ones just get more publicity. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 a.m...like it could be the right number. No one ever says “It’s only a game”...when their team is winning. I’ve reached the age where … “happy hour” is a nap. Be careful about reading the fine print...there’s no way you’re going to like it. After 60, if you don’t wake up aching in every joint...you’re probably dead. Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind...and the ones that mind don’t matter. LIFE ISN’T TIED WITH A BOW … BUT IT IS STILL A GIFT. ***************************************************************************** Have a nice week! Website: www.nativityburke.org Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 27, 2013 THE ORIGIN OF ALL SAINTS DAY AND ALL SOULS DAY…. This week we celebrate these two special days in our Church. While their story has been told before, it might be of interest to tell it again. The early Christians would gather on the anniversary of a martyr’s death to remember that person with “the breaking of the bread.” Soon this grew to include martyrs whose names were unknown. By mid-fourth century a feast of “All Martyrs” began to be celebrated, which included non-martyr “witnesses”, in other words, Christians whose lives were “the gospel in action” or saintly. Until the ninth century the popular feast of All Saints (Martyrs) was celebrated by the Church on May 13th, during the season of joy following the Resurrection. It was in 835 AD that the date was changed to Nov. 1st, to Christianize the existing pagan time for remembering the dead, in other words to bring light to the darkness, and hope to the most basic of human fears, the fear of death. And now we come to the Feast of All Souls. By the time of Christ the Jewish people had a well developed belief in the resurrection of the dead, which included trust that the prayer of the living could benefit the dead. So people who were not so saintly were also being remembered after death, usually on the anniversary of their death. By the seventh century, monasteries were celebrating an annual Mass for all the deceased of their order, an idea which soon spread to include the laity. About 1048, an influential Abbot chose November 2nd to commemorate All Souls because it was an obvious companion date and extension of the Feast of All Saints. And thus it came to be that these two days were, and continue to be, celebrated together. In Memoriam A Novena, 9 Masses, will be said for our deceased loved ones during the month of November. Spiritual Bouquet envelopes with their names will be placed on the Altar during the month. If you would like your loved ones remembered, please write their names on a Bouquet envelope from the back of Church or front office and return it with your offering by Thursday, October 31st.

Website: www.nativityburke.org El fariseo y el publicano Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 27, 2013 Autor: P. Raniero Cantalamessa, ofmcap Sirácida 12-14. 16-18; 2 Timoteo 4,6-8.16-18; Lucas 18, 9-14 El fariseo y el publicano El Evangelio de este domingo es la parábola del fariseo y del publicano. Quien acuda a la iglesia el domingo oirá un comentario más o menos de este tipo. El fariseo representa el conservador que se siente en orden con Dios y con los hombres y mira con desprecio al prójimo. El publicano es la persona que ha errado, pero lo reconoce y pide por ello humildemente perdón a Dios; no piensa en salvarse por méritos propios, sino por la misericordia de Dios. La elección de Jesús entre estas dos personas no deja dudas, como indica el final de la parábola: este último vuelve a casa justificado, esto es, perdonado, reconciliado con Dios; el fariseo regresa a casa como había salido de ella: manteniendo su justicia, pero perdiendo la de Dios. A fuerza de oírla y de repetirla yo mismo, esta explicación en cambio ha empezado a dejarme insatisfecho. No es que esté equivocada, pero ya no responde a los tiempos. Jesús decía sus parábolas para la gente que le escuchaba en aquel momento. En una cultura cargada de fe y religiosidad como aquella de Galilea y Judea del tiempo, la hipocresía consistía en ostentar la observancia de la ley y santidad, porque éstas eran las cosas que atraían el aplauso. En nuestra cultura secularizada y permisiva, los valores han cambiado. Lo que se admira y abre camino al éxito es más bien lo contrario de otro tiempo: es el rechazo de las normas morales tradicionales, la independencia, la libertad del individuo. Para los fariseos la contraseña era «observancia» de las normas; para muchos, hoy, la contraseña es «trasgresión». Decir de un autor, de un libro o de un espectáculo que es «transgresor» es hacerle uno de los cumplidos más anhelados. En otras palabras, hoy debemos dar la vuelta a los términos de la parábola, para salvaguardar la intención original. ¡Los publicanos de ayer son los nuevos fariseos de hoy! Actualmente es el publicano, el transgresor, quien dice a Dios: «Te doy gracias, Señor, porque no soy como aquellos fariseos creyentes, hipócritas e intolerantes, que se preocupan del ayuno, pero en la vida son peores que nosotros». Parece que hay quien paradójicamente ora así: «¡Te doy gracias, oh Dios, porque soy un ateo!». Rochefoucauld decía que la hipocresía es el tributo que el vicio paga a la virtud. Hoy es frecuentemente el tributo que la virtud paga al vicio. Se tiende, de hecho, especialmente por parte de los jóvenes, a mostrarse peor y más desvergonzado de lo que se es, para no parecer menos que los demás. Una conclusión práctica, válida tanto en la interpretación tradicional aludida al inicio como en la desarrollada aquí, es ésta. Poquísimos (tal vez nadie) están siempre del lado del fariseo o siempre del lado del publicano, esto es, justos en todo o pecadores en todo. La mayoría tenemos un poco de uno y un poco del otro. Lo peor sería comportarnos como el publicano en la vida y como el fariseo en el templo. Los publicanos eran pecadores, hombres sin escrúpulos que ponían dinero y negocios por encima de todo; los fariseos, al contrario, eran, en la vida práctica, muy austeros y observantes de la Ley. Nos parecemos, por lo tanto, al publicano en la vida y al fariseo en el templo si, como el publicano, somos pecadores y, como el fariseo, nos creemos justos. Si tenemos que resignarnos a ser un poco el uno y el otro, entonces que al menos sea al revés: ¡fariseos en la vida y publicanos en el templo! Como el fariseo, intentemos no ser en la vida ladrones e injustos, procuremos observar los mandamientos y pagar las tasas; como el publicano, reconozcamos, cuando estamos en presencia de Dios, que lo poco que hemos hecho es todo don suyo, e imploremos, para nosotros y para todos, su misericordia. Website: www.nativityburke.org Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Aprende Tu Fe 1.- ¿A QUIÉN AGRADAR? Por Javier Leoz ¿Recordáis el Evangelio del domingo anterior? Nos sugería aquella idea de que hay que rezar, con confianza y constantemente. 1.- Hoy, de nuevo, Jesús pone delante de la pantalla de nuestra vida el trato personal que hemos de tener con Dios. Nos marca una hoja de ruta para alcanzar la perfección en la oración. ¡Qué bueno sería que nos analizásemos un poco! ¿Cómo está nuestra relación con el Señor? ¿Ya existe? ¿Es distante o cercana? ¿Altanera o humilde? ¿Egoísta o gratuita? ¿Cuántos watsApp, e-mail enviamos (con nuestra oración) al que nos ha dado la vida? Con qué claridad, el Señor, nos dice lo que piensa. No es bueno el sentirnos seguros de nosotros mismos. Entre otras cosas porque, ello, nos lleva al distanciamiento de Dios y, junto con ello, a los juicios injustos sobre los demás. La autocomplacencia no es buena. Cuando los domingos nos reunimos en la Eucaristía, cuando participamos en diversos actos litúrgicos, pastorales, caritativos o de índole pastoral, no lo hemos de hacer desde un “ajuste de cuentas con Dios”; “mira lo qué hago” “recuerda que yo sí y otros no”. Quien piense que, la eucaristía, es un favor que nosotros le hacemos a Dios… anda tremendamente equivocado. ¿Serviría de algo poseer dos inmensos pulmones sin oxígeno para respirar? 2.- El espejo de la cenicienta “dime espejito quién es más guapo que yo” lo hemos de desterrar a la hora de hacer una radiografía del estado en que se encuentra nuestra alma o nuestro corazón, nuestra fe o nuestra amistad con Dios. Es más; en vez ponernos un espejo para mirarnos por delante, sería bueno que fueran –otros- los que nos lo pusieran por detrás. Es decir; para que viésemos el peso o la fragilidad que soportan nuestras espaldas y que nos impiden ser buenos hijos de Dios. 3.- .En la sociedad en la que nos desenvolvemos se lleva mucho el mundo de la imagen. Es más, nos preocupa muchísimo el concepto que los demás puedan tener de nosotros. La oración, entre otras cosas, nos sitúa en el centro de nuestra existencia: en Dios. Con El, todo. Sin Él, nada. Al fin y al cabo, por lo que hemos de luchar es por agradar a Dios y no por engordar o satisfacer nuestro ego. October 27, 2013 La sinceridad de nuestra oración, para darle gusto a Dios, no la hemos de medir por la cantidad de palabras, las rimas o la poesía que empleamos en ella o los mismos cantos que nos pueden ayudar a sintonizar más con Dios. La verdad de nuestra piedad se demuestra en la calidad que ponemos en lo que decimos; en la atención que ponemos cuando rezamos; en la humildad o transparencia a la hora de expresarlo. ¿Qué imagen tendrá Dios de nosotros? Una cosa está clara: de Dios no nos escapamos nadie. Ya podemos acudir al templo metidos en un abrigo, o blindados en mil palabrerías, si lo hacemos desde la vanidad, desde la idea de “bastante hago con venir aquí”, Dios nos deja desnudos. Sabe, desde el primer momento, con qué actitud nos ponemos frente a Él. Con la parábola viuda y el juez injusto, el Señor nos invitaba a rezar insistentemente. Hoy con esta bella parábola, Jesús, nos indica el espíritu con el que hemos de hacerlo: la humildad. 4.- Dejemos fuera las categorías por las que nos regimos y con las que nos desenvolvemos en el mundo; aquí no podemos engañar a nadie. Qué grande es recordar aquello de: “Señor dame una alforja; para que en su parte delantera vea mis propios defectos y, en la parte de atrás, deje los fallos de los demás; Señor; dame una alforja; para que en la parte de adelante meta las virtudes de los demás y, en la de atrás, sepa llevar con afán de superación las mías”. En algunos momentos solemnes solemos utilizar el incensario para dar gloria y alabanza al Señor. Pues eso…el incienso y el incensario para Dios. Tiempo llegará, cuando Él quiera, en que determine el valor de todo lo que decimos hacer y decir en su nombre. 6.- YO, SI SOY ASI, SEÑOR Quiero hacer una oración sin distracciones, y me pierdo al mínimo ruido. Digo alabarte, y me miro a mi mismo Digo quererte, y me quiero demasiado a mí mismo Digo complacerte, y busco mi interés Digo estimarte, y renuncio a muy poco por Ti.
