PRAY FOR THE DEAD (Oremos por los Muertos)

John O’Neill, Edward T. Reilly

Prayer for the Sick and Dying “Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend to your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest your weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones. Shield your joyous ones. And for all your love's sake. Amen.” Saint Augustine AN INVITATION…. With three simple words, “Come and see….” Jesus invited the Apostles to get each other, as they traveled together in faith. This group of acquaintances, soon to be friends, accepted Jesus’ invitation and formed a small community. Arise is about building the same kind of small faith-sharing communities.

"And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently." It's important to pay attention to the details of the parable Jesus tells in today's Gospel. At first glance, it might seem as if Jesus is encouraging us to be dishonest. But in fact, it's just the opposite. The steward in this tale was reported to his master "for squandering his property." In other words, the steward was not being responsible with what he was in charge of. And the master was ready to fire him on account of it. But then, the steward had a change of heart. (This isn't so hard to comprehend-sometimes it takes a real threat for us to realize we need to change our ways, doesn't it?) So the steward went to the people from whom he had previously collected money to "make friends" with them. How? By reducing their debts. This might seem to be dishonest yet again, but we need to bear in mind that in the end, the master was pleased with the steward's behavior. So this debt reduction must not have affected the master's pocketbook. Rather, it seems probable that the steward had originally hiked up what the debtors owed the master and put the extra cash in his own pocket. This was the sort of extortion that was common in those days, among tax collectors for example. Now, when the steward was about to lose his position, he thought it wise to go back and return that "dishonest wealth" to the folks who had lost it, and gain some sympathy in the process. So, in the end, the steward was making up for his previous cheating behavior by doing something RIGHT and smart. It's this honest behavior that will enable him to take his place in "eternal dwellings." And surely our honest behavior will have the same effect.

“From 1633 to 1637 sixteen martyrs shed their blood out of love for Christ in The city of Nagasaki, Japan. They included members of the Order of Preachers: nine, Priests, two religious, two virgins, and three lay People, one of whom was Lawrence Ruiz, the Father of a family from the Philippine Islands. All had, at different times and under varying circumstances, preached the Christian Faith in the Philippines, Formosa, and Japan. They manifested the universality of the Christian religion and sowed the seed of future missionaries and converts.” (1) Lawrence, affectionately known by our Filippino Community as “Saint Lorenzo Ruiz of Manila”, is one of the most inspiring saints who understood the price of self sacrifice. St Lorenzo said, “I am a Christian, and this I profess until the hour of my death and for God I shall give my life. Although I did not come to Japan to be a martyr, nevertheless, as a Christian and for God I shall give my life.” Let us pray: Lord God, You are the strength of all the Saints. You called St Lorenzo to eternal life through the cross. Grant us, through his intercession, perfect fidelity to keep the Faith until our death. Amen St Lorenzo, Pray for us.

GRACIAS POR SU CONTINUO APOYO

Parábola y advertencia es lo que nos presenta la Liturgia de la Palabra este domingo. Nos hace ver que en los tiempos del profeta Amós ya se tenían semejantes problemas de dinero. Exactamente, como los tenemos ahora en nuestra sociedad. Es por eso que el profeta en sus predicaciones denuncia y advierte las grandes injusticias que se llevaban a cabo. Sus palabras son directas y claras. Si se quiere hacer la voluntad de Dios hay que actuar bajo la influencia de ella, preocupándonos por los indefensos. "Escuchen esto los que buscan al pobre sólo para arruinarlo" (Am 8, 4). ¿Te dicen algo estas palabras? ¿Qué recuerdos te vienen a la mente al escucharlas? Por si acaso estamos cortos de información sobre este tema, el Señor Jesús nos aclara sobre las enseñanzas relacionadas con las riquezas. Él nos cuenta la parábola del administrador que es despedido por su patrón por estar malgastando sus bienes. Jesús advierte el cómo debemos de actuar en nuestra vida cristiana y sobre todo poner atención en los bienes futuros no en los terrenales. El Papa Francisco también nos aconseja lo siguiente: "No puedes servir a Dios y al dinero, no se puede: o el uno o el otro. Y esto no es comunismo, esto es Evangelio puro. Estas cosas son palabra de Jesús. ¿Entonces qué pasa con el dinero? ... Te va bien, te sientes un poco importante y después sobreviene la vanidad... la riqueza para sentirse suficientes, la vanidad para sentirse importante y, al final, el orgullo y la soberbia" (Meditación diaria de 20 de septiembre de 2013).

“Entre 1633 y 1638 dieciséis mártires derramaron su sangre por amor a Cristo en la ciudad de Nagasaki, Japón. Entre ellos estaban miembros y asociados de la Orden de Predicadores: nueve sacerdotes, dos religiosos, dos vírgenes y tres laicos, uno de los cuales fue Lorenzo Ruiz, un padre de familia nacido en las Islas Filipinas. Todos ellos, en diferentes Momentos y bajo varias circunstancias, habían predicado la Fe Cristiana en las Filipinas, Formosa y Japón. Ellos manifestaron la universalidad de la religión Cristiana y sembraron la semilla de futuros misioneros y conversos.” (1) Lawrence, conocido cariñosamente por nuestra Comunidad Filippino. como "San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila", es uno de los santos más inspiradores que comprendían el precio del sacrificio de uno mismo. San Lorenzo dijo: "Soy cristiano, y esto profeso hasta la hora de mi muerte y por Dios que yo le daré mi vida. Aunque no he venido a Japón para ser un mártir, sin embargo, como cristiano y para Dios voy a dar mi vida ".

GRACIAS POR MANTENER SU PARROQUIA UNA INVITACÍON ¡Ven y verás! Estas sencillas palabras son las que Jesús utilizó para invitar a los Apóstoles, para darse a conocer y que ellos se conociesen mientras compartían la vida y la fe, visitando pueblo tras pueblo. De conocidos, los Apóstoles se convirtieron en amigos, aceptando la invitación de Jesús y de formar una pequeña munidad de fe. LEVANTE es eso, constituir pequeñas comunidades que compartan la fe.
