CALL UPON THE LORD

The very first line of today's first reading summons us to seek the Lord and to call upon God. This sentiment is echoed in the refrain for today's responsorial psalm: "The Lord is near to all who call upon him" (Psalm 145:18a). Saint Paul is the embodiment of someone who constantly sought the Lord. In the excerpt we read today from his letter to the Philippians, we find Saint Paul toward the end of his life, a life he describes as completely consonant with Christ. He writes, "For to me life is Christ" (Philippians 1:21). To find out what it means to live life completely in accord with Christ we need look no further than today's Gospel. There we find that God's love and mercy are immeasurable for all those who seek and call upon the Lord. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Along with the reform of the Roman Canon and the redrafting of an ancient Roman prayer in Eucharistic Prayer II, two additional prayers were announced in 1969. Eucharistic Prayer III is a fresh composition. Like Eucharistic Prayer II, it has no preface of its own, but the presider chooses from a long menu of possible prefaces to become part of the prayer on a particular occasion. Also, like Eucharistic Prayer II it has a way to insert the name of the deceased in Masses for the dead such as funerals and memorials. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal views Eucharistic Prayer III as the best substitute for Eucharistic Prayer I on Sundays and feasts. In practice, this prayer is used very often at Sunday Mass, and its texts are familiar to all members of the assembly. In this prayer, notice that the priest extends his hands over the gifts and calls down the Holy Spirit to change them into the Body and Blood of Christ. This call of the Holy Spirit is called the epiclesis, and Eastern Christians consider it to be the consecration. Latin Christians have long considered the "institution narrative" to be the consecration. Partly in response to a deep sensitivity to the East, the reformers took care to structure all our new prayers with a strong epiclesis. The poetry and images of Eucharistic Prayer III are fruitful sources of meditation. Why not take a sentence or two into your private prayer? --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

ENTHRONEMENT OF THE SACRED HEART

"I will give to priests the power of touching the hardest hearts." This is the 10th promise Jesus gave to St. Margaret Mary when He appeared to her in Paray le Monial, France. The great missionary of the Sacred Heart enthronement, Fr. Matteo Crawley-Boevey in reply to the Holy Father's question as to how he succeeded in winning the hearts of the people as he did, declared that "he acted merely as the instrument of the Sacred Heart whose own grace-giving words were the cause of his wonderful success." For information regarding the Home Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, contact Mary Gallimore 501-282-1383 / [email protected].

CLAMA AL SEÑOR La primera línea de la lectura de hoy nos ordena buscar al Señor e invocar a Dios. Escuchamos el eco de este sentimiento en el refrán del salmo responsorial del día: "Cerca está el Señor de los que lo invocan" (Salmo 145:18a). San Pablo es la encarnación de alguien que constantemente buscó al Señor. En la cita que leímos hoy de su carta a los filipenses, encontramos a san Pablo hacia el final de su vida, vida que describe como en completa consonancia con Cristo. Escribe: "Porque para mí, la vida es Cristo" (Filipenses 1:21). Para saber lo que significa vivir una vida de completo acuerdo con Cristo basta mirar el Evangelio de hoy. Allí encontramos que el amor y la misericordia de Dios son inconmensurables para todos los que buscan e invocan al Señor. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura -- Así como el cielo está muy alto por encima de la tierra, así son los caminos y los pensamientos de Dios sobre los nuestros (Isaías 55:6-9). Salmo -- El Señor está cerca de todos los que lo llaman (Salmo 145 [144]). Segunda lectura -- Cristo se magnificará a través de mí, sea que yo viva o que muera (Filipenses 1:20c-24, 27a). Evangelio -- Los últimos serán los primeros y los primeros serán los últimos (Mateo 20:1-16a).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Esd 1:1-6; Sal 126 (125):1b-6; Lc 8:16-18 Martes: Esd 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Lc 8:19-21 Miércoles: Esd 9:5-9; Tob:13:2, 3-4abefghn, 7-8; Lc 9:1-6 Jueves: Ag 1:1-8; Sal 149:1b-6a, 9b; Lc 9:7-9 Viernes: Dn 7:9-10, 13-14 o Apo 12:7-12a; Sal 138 (137):1-5; Jn 1:47-51 Sábado: Zac 2:5-9, 14-15a; Jer 31:10-12ab, 13;

Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

El Reyno De Los Cielos

Es semejante a un propietario que, al amanecer, salio a

contratar trabajadores para su viña

Mateo 20,1

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Martes: Santos Cosme y Damián Miércoles: San Vicente de Paul Jueves: San Wenceslao; San Lorenzo Ruiz y compañeros Viernes: Los Arcángeles Miguel, Gabriel y Rafael; Yom Kipur (festividad judía conocida como Día del Perdón) comienza a la puesta del sol Sábado: San Jerónimo

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Las actas de los mártires son documentos de suma importancia en la Iglesia cristiana. En ellas se encuentra el testimonio de hombres y mujeres que con su sangre dieron testimonio del evangelio. En esta documentación encontramos el testimonio de quienes vieron y presenciaron su martirio. Por ejemplo, un soldado dice de los mártires: "Dormían en el suelo. No les vi quejarse en ningún momento y estuvieron todo el tiempo rezando y muy recogidos. . . magníficos, unos santos. . .". Testimonios como éste eran comunes en los primeros siglos del cristianismo cuando en la Roma pagana se perseguía a la Iglesia primitiva. Lamentablemente, este testimonio no viene de hace 17 ó 19 siglos, más bien, viene del siglo pasado, siglo en el cual la persecución de cristianos se multiplicó por todas partes del mundo produciendo más mártires que ningún otro siglo. El testimonio del soldado fue acerca del primer santo Argentino, Héctor Valdivielso Sáez y compañeros, quienes fueron asesinados por los comunistas en Asturias, España. Él fue uno de los más de 8000 cristianos martirizados en España, 30,000 en China, incontables en Latinoamérica y otros lugares durante el siglo pasado. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J.
