New Auxiliary Bishop of Denver Bishop-elect Jorge Rodriguez, S.T.D.
He’s a pastor who has loved every assignment
he’s ever had, a professor who is passionate
about sharing the Gospel, and he’s a Mexican-
born priest who expresses a deep appreciation
and love for the growing Hispanic Catholic
community in this archdiocese. As auxiliary bishop to the
Archdiocese of Denver, Bishop-elect Rodriguez will assist
Archbishop Samuel Aquila in serving the pastoral needs of the
faithful in northern Colorado.
Meditation: Luke 14:1, 7-14 A more distinguished guest . . . (Luke 14:8)
In the second century AD, the scientist/astronomer Claudius
Ptolemy presented a model of the solar system that stated that
the Earth was the center of the universe. About 1,400 years
later, another astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, overturned
Ptolemy’s model and taught that Earth revolved around the sun
and not the other way around.
Just as Copernicus upended Ptolemy’s teaching, Jesus upends
our assumptions. Every day he asks us, “Who is the center of
your life? Are you living under my rule or under yours?”
Using the Ptolemaic system as a model, we might say, “I
choose to be the center of my universe.” Living under that
model tends to make us self-centered, even if we appear to be
good and upright. It can move us to ignore our weaknesses, take
all the credit for our goodness, and never submit to Jesus’ rule.
Using the Copernican model, we might say, “Jesus is at the
center of my universe.” We place him at the center when we
realize that although he was perfect as the Son of God, he
became a man and died to rescue us from sin. We place him at
the center when we realize, not only that he loved us even unto
death, but also that he has been raised up and is now Lord of
heaven and earth (Philippians 2:6-11).
Of course, it’s humbling to say, “Jesus, I want you to be at the
center of my life.” These words are opposed to our fallen nature.
Yet the more we begin each day by praying these words, the
more we will find ourselves filled with an incredible peace. We
will also find a grace-filled determination to place our lives—
every thought and every action—under Jesus’ rule so that we
can give him glory.
Jesus is the most distinguished Person ever to live in our
hearts. Let’s treat him like the royal Guest that he is.
“Jesus, you are my Lord and my God. Come and reign in
me.”
