LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES
The message found in today’s readings is an oft-told
story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas
are only a few of the familiar fictional characters who
thought enormous wealth could buy happiness and fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the printed
word and stardom for his young wife, while King Midas
conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his very touch.
We learn clearly in today’s readings that none of this
is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for
someone other than ourselves. It comes from the pursuit
of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith, love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and endurance. The
Gospel reminds us that we dare not ignore the needs of
others, acting as though we don’t notice their suffering.
God’s call to us is much too clear to disregard for even
one more day.

MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NOSOTROS MISMOS
El mensaje de las lecturas de hoy es una vieja
historia. El Ciudadano Kane, Papi Warbucks y el Rey
Midas son sólo unos pocos de los familiares personajes
ficticios que pensaban que con una enorme fortuna podrían comprar la felicidad y la completa satisfacción. Papi
Warbucks admite haber pisoteado a algunas personas en
su ascenso a la cumbre. Kane trató de comprar la palabra
impresa y el estrellato para su joven esposa, mientras que
el Rey Midas conjura inmensa fortuna y tragedia sólo con
su toque.
Aprendemos claramente en las lecturas de hoy
que nada de esto es posible. Alcanzamos la verdadera felicidad cuando nos interesamos en los demás. Cuando
practicamos las virtudes que Dios describe a Timoteo: fe,
amor, mansedumbre, piedad, rectitud y justicia. El Evangelio nos recuerda que no osemos ignorar las necesidades
de los demás, actuando como si no notáramos su sufrimiento. El llamado de Dios a nosotros es demasiado claro
para ignorarlo ni un solo día más.
