Dear Families:

Queridas Familias:

Today, the biblical readings stress the danger of riches, a favorite theme of Luke. Why this particular emphasis from Luke? Because we see, from biblical times, down through history to the present day, how the unfettered pursuit of wealth damages society unraveling the bonds that tie communities together.

Hoy las lecturas bíblicas insisten en el peligro de las riquezas; un tema favorito de Lucas. ¿Por qué esta particular insistencia de Lucas? Al igual que ahora y que siempre, el desmedido afán de poseer bienes y riquezas resquebrajó profundamente la unidad de la comunidad.

Today's gospel brings us a real case and a parable that clearly depicts this message. It brings to the fore the question of the meaning of life; a subject that is serious and always approached cautiously.

El evangelio nos trae un caso real y una parábola que generaliza el caso. El texto pone sobre el tapete la cuestión siempre temible y seria del sentido de la vida.

The meaning of life is distinct from what we might think of our “sense of life” - our awareness of the course of our existence, similar to the path that a stream takes, flowing down a mountain. The meaning of life is what ultimately justifies the hard journey through the “desert”; the hard work; the long hours of study; the fatigue; the hurly-burly of the marketplace; not to mention the struggling, suffering and dying, that is always taking place, somewhere. Christians affirm that Jesus gives meaning to our lives. And it is that awareness, rather than material acquisitions, which gives value to all our striving, sacrifice and accomplishment. Considerable reflection on this fact will be required, before things can change, significantly. Continuing with today’s topic, we might ask ourselves what should be done to convert material and cultural wealth to a balm that can soothe the terrible aches and pains - the wounds and afflictions - of humanity; to convert the miser's gold into bread that can nourish all of humanity. The man in the parable of the gospel thought he was smart, but he was really a fool, because he was only concerned with a temporary sensation, that would soon pass. He strove to secure his possessions, only to see them slip through his fingers. As we see in the second reading, we are invited to set our hearts on the eternal, and on the people in our lives. Even though they die, they will never end because life is everlasting. Love is an asset that can always be increased. The more we give love, the more we receive love, and the more we want to give, again. Paul invites us to place ourselves in God’s world, where we are, and always will be important, because the only value is love. Let us invest in the things that have no material value: friendship, prayer, contemplation of nature, reading, and family. This is how our lives will be richer. Finally, let us strip off the old human condition, with its works, and let us attain a new condition; in the image of the creator. With my blessings,

Father Celestino, Pastor

Hablamos del “sentir de la vida” o sea de la dirección fundamental de su orientación, de eso hacia lo que tiende y camina. El sentido de la vida es lo que al fin y al cabo justifica este duro caminar por el “desierto” sufriendo el cansancio y el trabajo, luchando y muriendo, estudiando, comprando o vendiendo; toda nuestra vida es así. Los cristianos afirmamos que Jesús da sentido a nuestra vida. Y es ese sentido lo que da un valor humano, no sólo a los bienes que poseemos sino a cualquier actitud que realicemos. Se necesita la reflexión para que las cosas cambien mucho. Siguiendo con el caso de hoy, podríamos preguntarnos qué debiera hacerse para que tanto los bienes materiales como los culturales, constituyan un bien de toda la humanidad y al servicio del crecimiento de cada hombre y mujer. El hombre de la parábola del evangelio creía que era listo, pero era un necio porque no pensaba más que en un gozo temporal que se le iba a pasar pronto. ¡Todo esfuerzo de asegurarse sus posesiones, para perderlas inmediatamente! Por eso la segunda lectura nos invita a que tengamos el corazón puesto en las cosas de arriba, en lo que no pasará y las personas, aunque mueran, tampoco pasarán porque la vida es eterna. El amor es una realidad que siempre puede ir en aumento, ya que cuanto más se ama, más deseamos amar y ser felices con la persona amada. Pablo nos invita a situarnos en el mundo de Dios, donde todos somos y seremos importantes, porque el único valor es el amor. Vamos a tratar de disfrutar de las cosas que no tienen valor material: la amistad, la oración, la contemplación de la naturaleza, la lectura, la familia. Así nuestra existencia será más rica. Para terminar, despojémonos de la vieja condición humana, con sus obras, y obtengamos la nueva condición que nos convierte a imagen del creador. Con mi bendición,

P. Celestino, Párroco

THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is an indulgence? According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints. An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin. The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead. (CCC 1471) The Jubilee Indulgence made available during the Jubilee Year of Mercy is a plenary indulgence, which means that it removes all the temporal punishment due to sin.

LOS CABALLEROS DE COLON Los Caballeros de Colón están invitando a todos los hombres de la Parroquia de 18 años de edad y mayores, para unirse a los Caballeros de Colón.

July 31 As the Gospel indicates, judgment can come at any moment; our opportunity to give life to others can cease at any moment. To whom will all this piled-up wealth go? In the Culture of Life, we are secure at every moment in knowing that we simply seek to give ourselves away, that others may live.

31 de Julio Como indica el Evangelio, el juicio puede llegar en cualquier momento; nuestra oportunidad de dar vida a los demás puede cesar en cualquier momento. ¿A quién va a ir toda esta riqueza amontonada? En la cultura de la vida, estamos seguros en todo momento sabiendo que simplemente tratamos de entregarnos, para que otros puedan vivir.
