God . . . wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. — 1 Timothy 2:4

A Message from Father Roberto Parish theme for this year: Be Disciples. Make Disciples. Our Best or Our Leftovers? Like the lovely church in Oaxaca, Mexico that I mentioned in my homily today, some of the most beautiful buildings in the world are churches, temples and mosques as you can see in the pictures on this page. It seems that human beings have always tried to convey the beauty of God through the buildings they create in God’s honor. Even in poor areas, people have felt compelled to construct magnificent houses of worship. They often made great personal sacrifices to provide the best materials, craftsmanship and Shwezigon Paya Temple, Myanmar energy to build something beautiful and lasting for their god. We humans have an innate desire to give God our best. That is one of the reasons we sometimes use expensive materials for our sacred vessels, vestments, church furniture and decorations for celebrating Mass and the sacraments – we want to give and do our best for God. St. Basil Cathedral, Moscow Unfortunately, we can feel so distracted and busy in our lives that we can end up giving God our leftovers: our leftover time, energy, talent and money. The Bible says: “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce” (Proverbs 3:9). It says our “first fruits” not our second or third or last fruits. So that means we need to give to God first, before any other person or thing and that we give God the best we have. I challenge you to ask yourself if you are giving God your best or not. For example, do you come to Mass every week or just when you feel like it? And when you come to Mass do you give God your best effort to worship him by praying, singing and paying attention or do you just go through the motions? Do you take at least 15 minutes of your best Il, Duomo, Milan, Italy time to pray to God each day or do you just give God the “leftover” few minutes before you fall asleep at night? Do you give your best effort to grow in your faith by reading the Bible or a good Catholic book or magazine or by going to a Bible study or faith-sharing group? Do you give God your best by using your God-given talents to serve others? Do you think and pray ahead of time about what you will give in the collection when you come to Mass or do you just give God whatever leftover money you have in your wallet, purse or pocket? These are just a few questions that I want to ask to encourage you to give God what he deserves: our best not our leftovers. All that we have and all that we are has been given to us by God. As St. Paul says: “What do you possess that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it” (1Corinthians 4:7)? God deserves that we give him back at least something from all he has given to us; and whatever we do give back to God needs to be our best.

Dios él quiere que todos los hombres se salven y todos lleguen al conocimiento de la verdad. — 1 Timoteo 2:4

Un Mensaje del Padre Roberto Lema parroquial para este año: Sean Discípulos. Hagan Discípulos. ¿Lo Mejor o las Sobras? Al igual que la preciosa iglesia en Oaxaca, México, que mencioné en mi homilía de hoy, algunos de los edificios más hermosos del mundo son iglesias, templos y mezquitas como se puede ver en las fotos de esta página. Parece que los seres humanos siempre han tratado de transmitir la belleza de Dios a través de los edificios que edifican en su honor. Incluso en las zonas pobres, la gente ha sentido obligada a construir magníficas casas de culto. A menudo hacen grandes sacrificios personales para proporcionar los mejores materiales, artesanía y energía para construir algo hermoso y duradero para su dios. Nosotros los humanos tenemos un deseo innato de dar a Dios lo mejor posible. Esa es una de las razones por las que a veces usamos materiales caros para nuestros vasos sagrados, ornamentos, muebles de la iglesia y decoraciones para la celebración de la Misa y de los sacramentos – queremos dar y hacer lo mejor para Dios. Por desgracia, nos podemos sentir tan distraídos y ocupados en nuestras vidas que podemos llegar a dar a Dios las sobras: nuestro sobrante tiempo, energía, talento y dinero. La Biblia dice: “Honra al Señor con tus bienes y con las primicias de todos tus frutos” (Proverbios 3, 9). Se dice nuestros “las primicias de los St. Basil Cathedral, Moscow frutos” no los segundos o terceros o últimos frutos. Así que, eso significa que tengamos que dar a Dios primero, antes de cualquier otra persona o cosa y que demos a Dios lo mejor que tenemos. Te reto a que te preguntes si estás dando a Dios lo mejor o no. Por ejemplo, ¿vienes a Misa todas las semanas o simplemente cuando se te den las ganas? Y cuando vienes a Misa ¿das a Dios tu mejor esfuerzo para adorarle por orar, cantar y prestar atención o lo haces sin ganas? ¿Tomas por lo menos 15 minutos de tu mejor tiempo para orar a Dios todos los días o le das sólo unos minutos cansados que sobran antes de que Shwezigon Paya Temple, Myanmar te duermas? ¿Le das tus mejores esfuerzos para crecer en tu fe mediante la lectura de la Biblia o de un buen libro o revista católica o por ir a un estudio de Biblia o por compartir tu fe en una pequeña comunidad? ¿Le das a Dios lo mejor posible por usar tus talentos dados por Dios para servir a los demás? ¿Piensas y rezas antes de tiempo sobre lo que vas a dar en la colecta cuando vienes a Misa o simplemente le das a Dios el dinero que sobra en tu cartera, bolsa o bolsillo? Estas son sólo algunas preguntas que quiero hacerte para animarte a que des a Dios lo que él merece: lo mejor y no las sobras. Todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos Dios nos lo Il, Duomo, Milan, Italy ha dado. Como dice San Crystal Mosque, Terengganu, Malaysia Pablo: “¿Qué tienes que no hayas recibido? Y si lo has recibido, ¿por qué te alabas a ti mismo como si no lo hubieras recibido” (1 Corintios 4, 7)? Dios merece que le devolvamos al menos algo de todo lo que él nos ha dado; y todo lo que le devolvemos a Dios tiene que ser lo mejor.
