From the Pastor’s Desk… To Serve & Give One's Life The longing to be powerful is as ancient as the world. We ourselves experience it every day in the
most commonplace situations, as in wanting to occupy the best or first place, in choosing the best of partners, in climbing up the ladder to a higher position at work - till we go so far as to fight for political power without a conscience, even destroying the adversary. At the root of the problem, there is always the terrible duality: an instinct for dominance and one's ridiculous vanity.
Our own self-centeredness can infiltrate to such a point that we think we are someone special, and that we are of even more worth if we dominate other people; and if only the other person could be more brotherly! Isn't this the question that is planted in one's mind? If the other person would really change into being my brother: then I could overwhelm him with my dominance, even against his own person or his own goods? Couldn't I also then speak poorly about him behind his back? Would he allow me to destroy his privacy?
For Christ, on the other hand, one is greater when he/she resigns their will to dominate others and learns to serve with a fraternal love. There are so many people around us that attract us, due to their generosity and their noble lives! One's
moral authority is born from within a heart that is in solidarity, is generous, and serves. They radiate a special authority; they need neither to threaten, to bribe, nor to flatter. Perhaps this is the most important secret of life and yet the most ignored. We live life more intensely, only when we give it away. One can only live when that person helps others to live.
What is He asking of us? The service that Christ asks of us is demanding, however it is immensely fruitful. This ser-vice implies a struggle to the death against one's egoism and it is an exercise in humility; this is the hard part. Yet, it is also a productive service because it is our source of salvation. It is very easy for one to give something; and this happens to us also when it does not cost us anything, especially when we have an abundance. But honestly: who dares to give everything, and then to give one's all to the others, until it hurts?
The idea alone of serving others, may scare many away. For others, it may attract them only to place themselves at the center of attention. It is an obligation of one's conscience to assume a commitment of service.
We have to give what is alive in us: our happiness, our faith, our tenderness, our confidence, and the hope that sus-
tains us and animates us up from within. To give one's life in this way - is always a gesture that enriches, that helps us to live, that gives life to others, that redeems souls, and that liberates and saves people. God bless you, Fr. Oscar

Del escritorio del señor Cura… Servir y Dar la Vida El ansia de poder es tan antigua como el mundo. Nosotros mismos lo experimentamos a diario en las situacio-
nes más banales como el querer ocupar el mejor lugar, elegir a los mejores compañeros, escalar un puesto en el trabajo hasta llegar a luchar por el poder político sin escrúpulos, aún aniquilando al adversario. En la raíz del problema está siempre este maldito binomio: el instinto de dominio y la ridícula vanidad.
Se nos ha infiltrado el prejuicio de que somos alguien y de que valemos solamente si dominamos a los demás; ¡Y si el otro se convirtiera en mi hermano! ¿No es esta la cuestión que hay que plantearse? Si el otro se convirtiera real-mente en mi hermano, ¿podría yo rechazarle con prepotencia contra su persona o sus bienes? Si el otro se convirtiera realmente en mi hermano, ¿Podría yo hablar mal de él a sus espaldas? ¿Podría permitirme destruir su intimidad?
Para Cristo, en cambio, es grande el que renuncia a su deseo de dominar a los demás y aprende a servir con amor fraterno. ¡Hay tantos hombres a nuestro alrededor que nos atraen por su generosidad y nobleza de vida! Su auto-ridad moral nace desde dentro del corazón que es solidario, generoso, servicial. Irradian una autoridad especial; no ne-cesitan amenazar, sobornar ni adular. Tal vez éste sea el secreto más importante de la vida y el más ignorado. Vivimos intensamente la vida sólo cuando la regalamos. Sólo se puede vivir cuando se hace vivir a otros.
¿Qué nos está pidiendo a nosotros? El servicio que Cristo pide es exigente pero inmensamente fecundo. Impli-ca una lucha a muerte contra el egoísmo y un ejercicio de humildad; es la parte dura. Pero es también un servicio fecun-do porque es fuente de salvación. Es muy fácil dar algo; y esto nos sucede también cuando no cuesta y cuando nos sobra. Pero sinceramente ¿Quién se atreve a darlo todo y a darse a sí mismo a los demás, hasta que duela?
Hermanos: La sola idea de servir a los demás, a muchos les asusta. A otros sólo les atrae el colocarse en el escaparate. Es una obligación de conciencia asumir un compromiso de servicio.
Tenemos que dar lo que está vivo en nosotros: nuestra alegría, nuestra fe, nuestra ternura, nuestra confianza, la esperanza que nos sostiene y nos anima desde dentro. Dar así la vida es siempre un gesto que enriquece, que ayu-da a vivir, que crea vida en los demás, que rescata, que libera y salva a las personas. 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.
