Isaiah 50:7 TODAY S READINGS First Reading The Lord GOD is my help; who will prove me wrong? (Isaiah 50:5-9a). Psalm I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading Faith, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:14-18). Gospel Jesus asked his disciples, Who do you say that I am? (Mark 8:27-35).

SERVANT Sometimes the hour and the person meet. Sometimes, when a task or mission is set upon our shoulders, we know we must meet our responsibilities and we are ready. These are heady and invigorating times. The first reading and the Gospel proclamation today are intimate glimpses of a commencement, an inauguration of a challenging future. In both readings, a sense of gravity prevails. The first reading is from the mysterious Servant Songs from the book of Isaiah. The person is steadfast and brave. His courage and bravery are not located in his stout heart, but in God. We are reminded, The Lord GOD opens my ear that I may hear (Isaiah 50:4), so the servant understands the mission. And twice, The Lord GOD is my help (50:7, 9), so that the servant can endure the coming struggle. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It seems obvious to us that Jesus Christ is the Lord of second chances. We need look no further than Peter s denial and rehabilitation for proof. Yet early Christians were more tentative with the gift of forgiveness. For them, every Sunday was an experience of the Lord s power to heal and forgive, yet there were three sins that placed persons at the margins of the community s life. In some places, the rift caused by these sins was permanent. The sins were apostasy (denial of the faith), adultery, and murder. They were particularly detested because of their power to divide and even scatter the community gathered around the Lord s table. Fragile and persecuted communities could crumble and disappear under the weight of a harm done by a public sinner. Sinners were excluded from the community in the hope that tough love would help them come to their senses and experience deeper conversion. Inevitably, lists of grave sins grew longer as various bishops added their personal pet peeves to the roster, and more people were required to do public penance. For them, reconciliation was a once in a lifetime experience. Many sinners accepted their condition and hoped for a chance at a deathbed reconciliation by anointing. With more and more people permanently on the outs, the church began to struggle toward the light of the Lord s unfailing gift of reconciliation. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

5 Page 5 Grief Support Group Grief group weekly to be offered at St. Francis on Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. beginning in October. The grief process involves reconciling a new identity. It is often helpful to embrace our feelings of denial and anger in a group process, and to receive help from others who are experiencing the same pain of loss in their life. The power of the group authors life. After the loss of a loved one, friends due to a move, a job, or whatever, the temptation is to survive rather than thrive again. Sr. Mary R. Schumacher, RSCJ, LPC will facilitate the Grief group. She is a licensed professional counselor and has personal and professional experience with this issue. Sr. Shoe facilitated Grief Groups at the Betty Ford Center and has journeyed with several people through their process of grief. To register, please call the parish at (760) We will ask for your address and telephone number.

8 Page 8 Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 13 de septiembre de 2015 El Señor me ayuda, Por eso no quedaré confundido. Isaías 50:7 LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura En la tribulación, el Señor Yavé me ha abierto los oídos para que yo escuche. El Señor Yavé está de mi parte; quién podrá condenarme? (Isaías 50:5-9a). Salmo Caminaré en la presencia del Señor (Salmo 116 (115)). Segunda lectura Demuestra tu fe por las buenas obras que produces (Santiago 2:14-18). Evangelio Después que Pedro profesa que Jesús es el Mesías, Jesús lo reprende por tratar equivocadamente de apartar a Jesús de su misión. Para seguir a Cristo es necesario que uno renuncie a sí mismo y tome su cruz (Marcos 8:27-35). EL SIERVO A veces la persona y la hora se encuentran. A veces, cuando han puesto en nuestros brazos una tarea o misión, sabemos que debemos cumplir esa responsabilidad, y estamos listos. Esos son momentos de gran entusiasmo y energía. La primera lectura y la proclamación del Evangelio de hoy nos permiten vislumbrar íntimamente el comienzo, la inauguración de un futuro desafiante. Las dos lecturas mantienen un sentido de seriedad. La primera lectura viene del misterioso Cántico del Siervo del libro de Isaías. La persona es firme y valiente. Su valentía y fortaleza no se fundan en su corazón sino en Dios. Se nos recuerda: El Señor Dios me ha hecho oír sus palabras (Isaías 50:4), para que el siervo comprenda la misión. Y dos veces: El Señor es mi ayuda (50:7, 9), para que el siervo pueda sobrellevar el sufrimiento que se avecina. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En latinoamérica, a Satanás lo conocemos como Chamuco, Belcebú, Diablo, Cucu, Patillas, Pedro Botero, Lucifer, etcétera; aún así, procuramos evitarlo. Según los evangelistas Mateo y Marcos, Jesús llama Satanás a Simón Pedro. Jesús le dice Satanás por ser un obstáculo en el camino que Dios le ha designado y por no pensar según Dios, sino más bien, según sus criterios humanos. Luego de que Jesús anuncia que debía sufrir, morir y resucitar, Pedro lo regaña diciendo: Dios no lo permita (Marcos 8:32). Pedro está actuando como Satanás, y Jesucristo lo reprende, diciendo: Retírate, ve detrás de mí, Satanás! Porque tus pensamientos no son los de Dios, sino los de los hombres (Mateo 16:23). Jesús nos está desafiando a nosotros, no sólo a Pedro. Hay que pensar como Dios, no como la humanidad. Cuando pecamos, muchas veces nos autojustificamos, diciendo: Soy humano, como si el hecho de pecar fuera el único aspecto que reflejara nuestra humanidad. María nunca pecó. Jesús es verdaderamente humano y tampoco pecó. Jesús mismo comparte plenamente nuestra humanidad para hacernos partícipes de su divinidad. Por tal motivo, el pecado no define la humanidad. Jesús nos invita a pensar como Dios para apartar a Satanás. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
