The Gospel message today is so contrary to our modern culture where advertising continually tries to convince us that our value lies in the things we possess. Jesus showed us that our true value lies in the way we live our lives. He challenges us to not store up or hoard material possessions, but rather to live a grateful and generous lifestyle.

180 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "Tenga cuidado de evitar toda codicia, porque aunque uno puede ser rico, la vida de cada uno no consiste en posesiones." Lucas 12:15 El mensaje del Evangelio de hoy es tan contrario a nuestra cultura moderna donde la publicidad continuamente trata de convencernos de que nuestro valor reside en las cosas que poseemos. Jesús nos mostró que nuestro verdadero valor radica en la forma en que vivimos nuestras vidas. Él nos desafía a no almacenar o acumular posesiones materiales, sino más bien a vivir un estilo de vida agradecido y generoso.

Reflections by Father Karl 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

As a priest I have visited many people; young, old, rich, and poor. One thing I have noticed is that as people age they tend to become less attached to their possessions. Young people are often very interested in acquiring new things: they want to buy a house, have a nice car, or give things to their children. Financial security and professional success are great values. When people reach their fifties there comes a realization that this life is not going to last forever. Getting more things is no longer so important. At retirement age many people become more interested in having new experiences and traveling; or perhaps they begin planning for how they can help their grandchildren receive an education. When people are truly elderly their possessions matter less and less. I am sure that many of us have had the experience of visiting an elderly family member or friend and have left loaded down with pots and pans or a lamp. They try to give away their stuff. Often truly elderly people are able to live in the moment and enjoy the things and people around them: they are truly free to live from moment to moment. The readings this weekend challenge us to use our energy pursuing the things that really matter. We are reminded that this life can end at any point and security is an illusion. Perhaps we can learn a lesson from the older people around us and we can spend our time and energy on the things that last; improving our relationship with God and our family. Let us pray for that grace.

18° domingo del tiempo ordinario

Como sacerdote he visitado a muchas personas; jóvenes, ancianos, ricos, y pobres. Algo que he notado es que conforme la gente envejece, tiende a estar menos apegados a sus posesiones. La gente joven, usualmente están muy interesados en adquirir cosas nuevas: quieren comprar una casa, tener un buen carro o dar cosas a sus hijos. La seguridad financiera y el éxito profesional son grandes valores. Cuando las personas alcanzan los cincuentas se dan cuenta de que esta vida no va a durar para siempre. El obtener más cosas ya no es tan importante. A la edad del retiro, mucha gente se vuelve más interesada en tener nuevas experiencias y viajar; o a lo mejor empiezan a planear en cómo ayudar a sus nietos para que reciban una educación de colegio/universidad. Cuando la gente es verdaderamente anciana, sus posesiones valen cada vez menos, yo estoy seguro que muchos de nosotros hemos tenido la experiencia de visitar a un familiar o amigo anciano y salido cargando con ollas y cazuelas o una lámpara. Ellos tratan de regalar sus cosas. A menudo las personas verdaderamente ancianas son capaces de vivir en el momento y gozar de las cosas y las personas que les rodean. Ellos son verdaderamente libres para vivir de momento en momento. Esta semana las lecturas nos desafían a usar nuestra energía en buscar las cosas que realmente importan. Nos recuerdan que esta vida puede terminar en cualquier momento y que la seguridad es una ilusión. Quizá podemos aprender una lección de las personas mayores a nuestro alrededor y podamos gastar nuestro tiempo y energía en las cosa duraderas; mejorando nuestra relación con Dios y nuestra familia. Oremos para obtener esa gracia.
