Stewardship by the Book La Administración según “el Libro” The good Samaritan was also a good steward, giving his time and his treasure to meet his neighbor’s need. At the end of this familiar story, Jesus urges His hearers — and us — to go and do the same! El buen Samaritano también era buen administrador de los bienes de Dios, dando su tiempo y su Tesoro para satisfacer las necesidades de su prójimo. !Al final de esta historia conocida, Jesús anima a Sus oyentes — y a nosotros — para que vayamos a hacer lo mismo!

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia

Jubilee Year of Mercy

Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Could anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in mercy, the parable of the Good Samaritan? Jesus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant sympathy for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned temple ministry, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-on mercy. No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero. Samaritans were religious apostates and political enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a fellow traveler’s selfinflicted misfortunes. See God’s presence even in someone outside the law, whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious obligation but from the heart’s instinctive goodness. Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our mercy? “Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The next person we see who needs hands-on mercy! No conditions, no limits, no exceptions. Especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go and do likewise” (10:37).

¿Podría haber alguien que contradijera la excelente lección de misericordia en la parábola del Buen Samaritano? ¡Claro, la audiencia de Jesús que era religiosamente devota lo hizo! Muy poca simpatía gozaba alguien lo suficientemente tonto como para viajar solo por “el camino de Jericó” lleno de criminales. Bastante simpatía tenía un sacerdote y un levita, quienes a prisa se dirigían a realizar su trabajo en el templo, y que preferían evitar hacer una obra de misericordia evitando quedar impuros para la realización del culto. Nada de simpatía para la persona atenta que presenta Jesús. Para los judíos los samaritanos eran sus enemigos, tanto religiosa como políticamente. Jesús los desafía —y también a nosotros— a buscar la presencia de Dios no solamente en la hermosura de la liturgia sino en esa persona extraña viajera que cayó en desgracia. Observa la presencia de Dios aún en alguien que está fuera de la Ley, quien hace una obra de misericordia que brota más de la bondad instintiva de su corazón que por sus obligaciones religiosas. Ya que Jesús se hizo nuestro “Buen Samaritano” pese a nuestras culpas y necedad, ¿quiénes somos nosotros para medir nuestra misericordia? ¿Quién es mi prójimo? (Lucas 10:29). ¡La próxima persona que veamos que necesita una obra de misericordia! Sin condiciones, sin limites, sin excepciones. Especialmente en este Año Jubilar de misericordia, Jesús ordenó “vete y haz tú lo mismo” (10:37).

Participants will learn about the Catholic faith and participate in various rites several times during the program, either here at St Matthew or at the Cathedral.
