MERCY FOR ALL: NO CONDITIONS, NO LIMITS, NO EXCEPTIONS

C

ould 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). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

MISERICORDIA PARA TODOS: SIN CONDICIONES, SIN LÍMITES, SIN EXCEPCIONES

¿P

odría haber alguien que contradijera la excelente lección de misericordia en la parábola del Buen Samaritano? ¡La devota y religiosa audiencia de Jesús 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 se dirigían a prisa para realizar su trabajo en el templo, y que preferían evitar hacer una obra de misericordia evitando quedar impuros para la realización del culto. Ninguna simpatía para el “héroe escandaloso” del que habla 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 sólo en la belleza de la liturgia sino en el compañero de viaje que cayó en desgracia. Observa la presencia de Dios también 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 nuestra necedad y pecados, ¿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 límites, sin excepciones. Especialmente en este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, Jesús nos manda “ve y haz tú lo mismo” (10:37). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

ROSARY MAKERS: The Rosary Makers began in 1995 with eight women. Currently there are 19 women actively making rosaries. They meet the 2nd Tuesday of most months and are always looking for more volunteers to make rosaries. The chord rosaries are given to nursing homes, CYE attendees, RCIA participants, schools, and missions. Since 1995, the Rosary Makers have made and given away over 30,000 rosaries. The CCW and Knights of Columbus provide funding for the materials used to the rosaries. Their support helps to defray the costs of the rosaries. We are blessed with their generosity. FABRICANTES DE ROSARIOS: El ministerio de los fabricantes de rosarios comenzó en el 1995 con ocho señoras. Desde entonces, se han hecho y regalado más de 30,000 rosarios. Los fabricantes de rosarios se reúnen cada 2o martes de cada mes y siempre están buscando más señoras para fabricar los rosarios. Los rosarios se regalan a las residencias de ancianos, a los centros de jóvenes, a los participantes de los grupos RCIA, a las escuelas y a las misiones. El Consejo de Mujeres Católicas y los Caballeros de Colón proporcionan los fondos para los materiales que se utilizan para los rosarios. Su apoyo ayuda a cubrir los costos de los rosarios.
