From the Pastor’s Desk… We are called to follow the Lord
The Gospel reading today is a well-known passage, one we may be tempted to ignore because we think it does
not apply to us. It is important to remember, however, that Jesus is speaking to each of us.
The rich man is sincere about wanting to inherit eternal life. His heart is in the right place. We also learn that he
has followed the commandments, the law of God given to us through Moses: Do not kill. Do no commit adultery. Do not
steal. Do not lie.
The rich man’s good intentions and his following of the law are not guarantees to eternal life, however. Why?
Because salvation is God’s gift to us and not something we can earn. Receiving the gift of salvation requires seeking to
love God with one’s whole being, and letting go of those things that hinder us from growing in our love for God. The rich
man was unable to receive the gift of salvation because of his attachment to his wealth and possessions.
The first lesson we can learn from today’s readings is that good intentions and following the laws of the Church
are not sufficient for eternal life. We may be tempted to think that because we attend Mass every Sunday and have fol-
lowed the Church’s rules, we deserve heaven. In reality, nothing we can do of our own accord makes us deserving of
heaven; salvation is a gift that God in his goodness freely offers. Receiving the gift of salvation that God offers through
faith in Jesus requires that we have the proper disposition. We strive to love God above all things, love our neighbor as
ourselves, and practice the teachings of Jesus in our daily lives.
The second lesson is that in order to love God above all things and to live as a more faithful disciple of Jesus, we
must let go of things that hinder us from growing in our love for the Lord. Notice that, for the rich man, the purpose of sell-
ing everything and giving to the poor was so that he could follow Jesus. They were prerequisites for being a disciple.
The Gospel says, Jesus looked at him and loved him. Jesus is not trying to condemn us. Do not imagine Jesus with
his finger wagging. Rather, he invites us into a deeper relationship with him. Jesus invites us to strive to let go of things that
hinder us from growing in our love for him and following him more faithfully. Let us focus on Jesus so that one day we
might come to share eternal life in heaven. God bless you, Fr. Oscar

Del escritorio del señor Cura… Estamos llamados a seguir al Señor La lectura del Evangelio de hoy es un conocido pasaje, uno podemos estar tentados a ignorar porque pensamos que no se
aplica a nosotros. Es importante recordar, sin embargo, que Jesús está hablando a cada uno de nosotros.
El hombre rico es sincero sobre el deseo de la vida eterna. Su corazón está en el lugar correcto. También aprendemos que
ha seguido los mandamientos, la ley de Dios que nos ha dado a través de Moisés: No matarás. No hay cometerás adulterio. No ro-
bes. No mientas.
Buenas intenciones del hombre rico y sus seguidores de la ley no son garantías a la vida eterna, sin embargo. ¿Por qué?
Debido a que la salvación es un regalo de Dios para nosotros y no es algo que puede ganar. Al recibir el don de la salvación requie-
re la búsqueda de amar a Dios con todo el ser, y dejando de lado aquellas cosas que nos impiden crecer en nuestro amor a Dios. El
hombre rico no pudo recibir el don de la salvación por su apego a su riqueza y posesiones.
La primera lección que podemos aprender de las lecturas de hoy es que las buenas intenciones y siguiendo las leyes de la
Iglesia no son suficientes para la vida eterna. Podemos estar tentados a pensar que porque asistimos a misa todos los domingos y
hemos seguido las reglas de la Iglesia, nos merecemos el cielo. En realidad, no hay nada que podamos hacer de nuestra propia vo-
luntad nos hace merecedores de los cielos; la salvación es un don que Dios en su bondad ofrece libremente. Al recibir el regalo de
la salvación que Dios ofrece a través de la fe en Jesús requiere que tengamos la disposición adecuada. Nos esforzamos por amar a
Dios sobre todas las cosas, amar a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos, y la práctica de las enseñanzas de Jesús en nuestra
vida cotidiana.
La segunda lección es que para poder amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y vivir como una más fiel discípulo de Jesús, de-
bemos dejar de lado las cosas que nos impiden crecer en nuestro amor por el Señor. Observe que, para el hombre rico, el propósito
de vender todo y dar a los pobres era para que pudiera seguir a Jesús. Ellos eran requisitos previos para ser un discípulo.
Dice el Evangelio, Jesús lo miró y lo amó. Jesús no está tratando de condenarnos. No imagino a Jesús con su meneando el
dedo. Más bien, él nos invita a entrar en una relación más profunda con él. Jesús nos invita a tratar de dejar de lado las cosas que
nos impiden crecer en nuestro amor por él y seguirlo con más fidelidad. Centrémonos en Jesús para que un día podamos venir a
compartir la vida eterna en el cielo. Dios les bendiga, P. Oscar

The Ordinary Synod on the Family takes place next month, Oct. 4-25. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to enlighten the Synod Fathers and to direct them in the will of the Father
and the glory of Jesus Christ and His holy bride, the Church.
"A Prayer For the Upcoming Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Family
in October" Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splen-
dor of true love, to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, au-thentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again
experience violence, rejection and division: may all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready
comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod of Bishops make us once more mindful of the sacredness and
inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God's plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen.
