3 A message from Fr. Tony GOD S WORK OF SALVATION God s work of salva on is the focus of this weekend s readings. From the prophe c event of Isaiah to Jesus understanding of the human condi on in Hebrews, concluding with Jesus paying our ransom in Mark, God is in control. There may be failings and misunderstandings along the way. We may move away from God, but at our conversion, God leads us back. Like James and John, we may let greed and power blur our vision of what Jesus wants us to know about the Kingdom; but relessly we are taught and re-taught what life in the Kingdom will be. Jesus has paid our ransom to ensure that we will share in the Kingdom. It is not unusual to think of Jesus ransom as a punishment that he endured. However, it is more accurate, and more like Jesus, for us to recognize ransom as God s gi to us. Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony LA OBRA DIVINA DE SALVACIÓN La obra de Dios de la salvación es el enfoque de las lecturas este fin de semana. Desde el acontecer profé co de Isaías hasta la visión de Jesús sobre la condición humana en Hebreos, y terminando con el rescate que paga Jesús por nosotros en san Marcos, Dios está al mando. Puede que ocurran caídas e incomprensiones por el camino. Puede que nos alejemos de Dios, pero Dios nos trae de vuelta a su lado mediante la conversión. Al igual que San ago y Juan, a veces dejamos que la avaricia y el poder empañen nuestra visión de lo que Jesús nos quiere enseñar sobre el Reino; pero sin tregua nos enseña y nos repite cómo ha de ser la vida en el Reino. Jesús ha pagado por nuestro rescate para garan zar que compartamos el Reino con él. No es raro que pensemos sobre el rescate que pagó Jesús en términos de un cas go que tuvo que sufrir. Sin embargo, es más acertado y más como Jesús, reconocer que el rescate es un regalo de Dios para nosotros. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

For information, please call Cathy Aguirre at (210) Building Fund in Memory of: Sam Pantuso By: Johnny Granieri TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Irish are rightly red of being the subject of jokes about guilt. In fact, it is from the Cel c church that the whole experience of reconcilia on in our tradi on was crea vely rescued and revived. The Irish church was unique in its origins, not so much organized around dioceses, but around monasteries. Aspects of religious community life readily spilled over into ordinary gatherings of the faithful, including the way people looked at sin and applied remedies. Unlike the public nature of canonical penance, the Irish method was linked to a kind of mentoring process they called soul friending. Just as young novice monks might find a mentor in the wisdom of a senior guide, so did a way of penance open up to ordinary folks. Monks were accustomed to frequent confession of faults to the abbot or mentor, who would suggest penances. In me, abbots with a certain flair for this began to share lists of sins and corresponding tariffs with others. Some of these books survive, and provide a hair raising view of long ago sins like ca le rustling, and a great deal of selfcorrec on involving dips in icy streams and rolling about in thickets of thorns. A er the penance was performed, the penitent returned to the confessor, and in a private act marked by the laying on of hands, or perhaps a kiss of the altar, the sinner was restored. Irish monks were commi ed travelers, and their methods were widely copied. We might say that they saved a sacrament, but at the expense of shi ing a en on to the sins of the individual and away from the ac ons of the reconciling community. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S.
