St. James $5, Sacred Heart $2, St. Patrick $ TOO MUCH INFORMATION! There is a common expression: Too much information! We usually use it when people tell us details about their lives that we don t want or need to know. Today, when James and John ask Jesus a simple question, making their request for places of honor in the kingdom, a simple answer might have been in order. Instead, as he often does, Jesus answers a question with a question; today it s about drinking the cup of suffering. Then, once the others are indignant over James and John s outrageous request, he proceeds to give them what may have been too much information for followers who were simply interested in the pursuit of glory. But this information, though it can sometimes seem too much for us, is essential for our lives as disciples. In Isaiah, in Hebrews, and in Mark today, we learn this information. It is in suffering, in weakness, in self-giving service to others, that we come to understand the kingdom. It is the information we need to find our place and come to be honored in the reign of God. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. DEMASIADA INFORMACIÓN PARA MI GUSTO Existe una expresión de uso corriente: Demasiada información para mi gusto. Generalmente decimos esto cuando alguien nos da detalles sobre su vida que no deseamos o no necesitamos saber. Hoy, cuando Santiago y Juan le hacen una pregunta simple a Jesús y le piden ocupar lugares de honor en el Reino, Jesús podría haberles dado una respuesta simple. Pero, como suele hacerlo, responde una pregunta con otra pregunta, en este caso se trata de beber el cáliz del sufrimiento. Luego, cuando los demás se indignan contra el atrevido pedido de Santiago y Juan, Jesús les dice algo que puede haber sido demasiada información para el gusto de los seguidores, quienes sólo estaban interesados en alcanzar la gloria. Pero esta información, aunque algunas veces pueda parecer demasiada para nuestro gusto, es vital para nuestras vidas como discípulos. Hoy en Isaías, en hebreos y en Marcos, conocemos esta información: sólo mediante el sufrimiento, la debilidad y el servicio generoso a los demás comprenderemos el Reino. Ésta es la información que necesitamos para encontrar nuestro lugar y poder ser honrados en el Reino de Dios. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Do we get up on our feet and use our talent to do work He asks of us? Remember, God doesn t call the equipped, he equips the called. Dios nos pide a cada uno de nosotros que hagamos un trabajo especial para él. Él nos da los recursos que necesitamos para hacer su trabajo. Sin embargo, escuchamos a Dios cuando Él llama? Nos levantamos y usamos nuestro talento para hacer el trabajo que Él nos pide? Recuerda, Dios no llama a los equipados, él equipa a los llamados.
