BANNS OF MARRIAGE JALAL DEEB & GINA TOUCHAN

* * * * * * * * “The Church … is not a relief organization, an enterprise or an NGO, but a community of people animated by the Holy Spirit, who have lived and are living the wonder of the encounter with Jesus Christ and want to share this experience of deep joy, the message of salvation that the Lord gave us. It is the Holy Spirit that guides the Church in this path.” – Pope Francis, for World Mission Sunday * * * * * * * *

THE CHURCH’S FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR “Saint Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582), more commonly known as Saint Teresa of Avila, joined the Carmelite Convent of the Incarnation at the age of twenty-one. Disheartened by convent life, in particular its spiritual laxity, opulent nature, and overly social atmosphere, she began a reform movement that provided the framework for the Discalced Carmelites. Members of this new branch of Carmelites modeled themselves on the poor and crucified Christ, adopting a life of poverty and abstinence. In collaboration with Saint John of the Cross, Teresa helped bring this new way of life to the male Carmelite communities. Their reforms met with great resistance, but they moved forward with faith and persistence. Among her many writings, she is well known for two classics: The Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle.” – Sourcebook * * * * * * * *

+ A Scriptural Reflection + “WHERE ARE THE OTHER NINE?” “The First Reading presents an unusual story from the Old Testament in which God heals the Syrian military man, Naaman. This Gentile trusted the Israelite prophet Elisha to heal his leprosy in the water of the river Jordan, and then professed faith in the God of Israel. This story offers a scriptural precedent for Luke’s theological perspective that Gentiles will have a covenant relationship with God, along with Israel. In Luke’s earlier account of Jesus’ rejection at Nazareth, the Lord had indicated God’s inclusiveness by referring to the example of Naaman. The Samaritan leper and Naaman the Syrian exemplify Luke’s theological outreach.” – At Home with the Word

San Lucas Evangelista Octubre 18

Autor del tercer Evangelio y de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, en el que se narran los orígenes de la vida de la Iglesia hasta la primera prisión de Pablo en Roma. Posiblemente escribió entre 70AD y 80AD. Probablemente en los dos años que San Pablo estuvo preso Cesarea (Hechos 20, 21). Se destaca como evangelista y como historiador. Lucas recibió la fe alrededor del año 40. Habrá conocido a Pablo en Antioquía. Ninguno de los dos conocieron a Jesús durante su vida en la tierra. Sin embargo Lucas supo escribir cuidadosamente guiado por el Espíritu Santo, lo que escuchó de los testigos oculares. Es el único que narra la infancia de Jesús y el que trata más sobre La Virgen María. Quizás porque ella misma le instruyó en Efeso. Lucas escribe para el mundo gentil. Resalta el aspecto universal de la redención. La predicación a todas las naciones, comenzando por Jerusalén (Cf Lc. 24, 46-47). El está conciente de los peligros de la legalidad judía, las herejías y la frivolidad pagana. Su Evangelio muestra una atención especial hacia los pobres, los pecadores arrepentidos y hacia la oración.

Lucas nace de padres paganos en Antioquia y es el único escritor del Nuevo Testamento que no es israelita. Es de cultura griega y dirigió su mensaje a gentiles cristianos. Estaba muy bien educado en la literatura y era médico. San Lucas fue discípulo fiel de San Pablo quién lo describe como "Lucas, el médico querido" (Col 4,14). Desde su prisión de Roma Pablo dice a su discípulo Timoteo: «Lucas sólo queda conmigo». San Juan Crisóstomo le llamó: «Incansable en el trabajo, ansioso de saber y sufrir, Lucas no acertaba a separarse de Pablo».

En los Hechos de los apóstoles, Lucas se incluye en los viajes de San Pablo: "fuimos a... navegamos a..." En uno de esos viajes se embarcaron desde Troas a Fenicia. Otro viaje los llevó desde Fenicia a Jerusalén. Mas tarde fueron juntos a Roma, en cuyo viaje sufrieron naufragio y otros peligros. Según la tradición murió mártir en Acaya, colgado de un árbol. Sus reliquias se encuentran en la Basílica de Santa Justina, Padua, Italia. Estudios conducidos allí en 1998 concuerdan con los datos sobre San Lucas conocidos por la tradición. Patrón de: artistas, doctores, cirujanos, solteros, carniceros, encuadernadores, cerveceros, escultores, notarios... Representado con: libro, novillo alado, médico, pintando ícono de Nuestra Señora. Según la tradición fue también pintor de la virgen.
