From Fr. Davy’s Desk:

TWENTYSECOND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

Labor Day is set apart to reflect and evaluate our job and thank God for the blessing of our job. We

should be grateful to God for the blessings we received in the past and look forward to a prosperous

future ahead. Usually when people meet they ask each other: “What do you do? What is your job?”

In our modern culture we all fall into the trap of pigeonholing people according to their work, and I

guess we all have a scale that ranges from the top brain surgeon to a person who cleans the public

toilets. We tend to relate to people and value them by what we think about their work. Some feel

valueless in the eyes of others when they are jobless.

It is not easy to get a job today. We should have a positive attitude towards employment. God

created us to be active and useful and we will therefore be most happy doing what our creator

intended. In the New Testament, Saint Paul writes to Thessalonians 3:10: “If anyone is not willing to

work, let him not eat.” So Paul commends hard work and condemns laziness. Christians are called

to work hard - whatever the work might be.

There was a time people were ready to do any job regardless of their family status or educational

qualification. From the Gospel today we read about the parable of the wedding banquet people

recline at table in the place of honor. Some don’t have humility to do any work, not a job of high

honor. Any job is rewarding. The new generation feels like some jobs are substandard. There aren’t

people who consider looking for such jobs. As a result people from other countries get job in the US

and the citizens become jobless.

We need to promote the young generation in doing any job. Self-employment is one way of

eradicating unemployment. All the factories and firms we see around were the initiative of someone

out there who had a vision. In the same way let everyone think of finding new ways of opening doors

to others instead of waiting for a telephone call or email invitation to a new job. Let all who are

working hard be blessed with good health and peace. Let all those who are looking for a job may

find one soon. Labor Day greetings to all!

Mensaje del Padre Davy:

DOMINGO 22 DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

El Día del Trabajo se distingue para reflejar y evaluar nuestro trabajo y agradecer a Dios por la ben-

dición de nuestro trabajo. Deberíamos estar agradecidos con Dios por las bendiciones que recibi-

mos en el pasado y esperar un futuro próspero por delante. Por lo general, cuando las personas se

encuentran, se preguntan: “¿Cuál es tu trabajo?”

En nuestra cultura moderna, todos caemos en la trampa de encasillar a las personas de acuerdo

con su trabajo, y supongo que todos tenemos un doctor hasta la persona que limpia los baños

públicos. Tendemos a relacionarnos con las personas y valorarlas por lo que pensamos sobre su

trabajo. Algunos se sienten sin valor a los ojos de los demás cuando no tienen trabajo.

No es fácil conseguir un trabajo hoy. Deberíamos tener una actitud positiva hacia el empleo. Dios

nos creó para ser activos y útiles y, por lo tanto, estaremos muy felices de hacer lo que nuestro

creador pretendía. En el Nuevo Testamento, San Pablo escribe a Tesalonicenses 3:10: "Si alguien

no está dispuesto a trabajar, que no coma". Así que Pablo elogia el trabajo duro y condena la pere-

za. Los cristianos están llamados a trabajar duro, sea cual sea el trabajo.

Hubo un tiempo en que las personas estaban listas para hacer cualquier trabajo, independiente-

mente de su estado familiar o calificación educativa. Del Evangelio de hoy leemos acerca de la

parábola del banquete de bodas que la gente se reclina en la mesa en el lugar de honor. Algunos

no tienen humildad para hacer ningún trabajo, no un trabajo de gran honor. Cualquier trabajo es

gratificante. La nueva generación siente que algunos trabajos son deficientes. No hay personas que

consideren buscar tales trabajos. Como resultado, la gente de otros países consigue trabajo en los

Estados Unidos y los ciudadanos se quedan sin trabajo.

Necesitamos promover a la generación joven en cualquier trabajo. El autoempleo es una forma de

erradicar el desempleo. Todas las fábricas y empresas que vemos son iniciativa de alguien que tu-

vo una visión. Del mismo modo, deje que todos piensen en encontrar nuevas formas de abrir puer-

tas a otros en lugar de esperar una llamada telefónica o una invitación por correo electrónico para

un nuevo trabajo. Que todos los que trabajan duro sean bendecidos con buena salud y paz. Deje

que todos aquellos que están buscando trabajo puedan encontrarlo pronto. ¡Feliz del Día del Traba-

jo a todos!

Padre Kavungal, Davy CMI
