We discover and embrace it. We chew on it, take it in like food, and gain strength from it. The Jews had a hard time swallowing Jesus truth about the Eucharist.

Once we accept the world, situations, and revelations offered to us, and strive to understand these gifts, then wisdom can become ours.

Second, believe God has wisdom to share. Third, build upon truths already known and revealed, accepting that we can t know it all. The Rodin sculpture also hides this same truth.

2 August 19, 2018 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Prv 9:1 6 Eph 5:15 20 Jn 6:51 58 Accepting God s Truths The pursuit of wisdom and knowledge has long been a supreme striving of the human heart. Especially as we age, we hunger to truly understand reality, the human heart, modern culture, its problems and solutions. The Old Testament offers amazing tips on the Piece: The Hand of God, 1890 Artist: Auguste Rodin Location: Vatican Museums pursuit of wisdom. Using the analogy of a woman who prepares a meal and invites others to dine at her table, wisdom is a gift prepared by God and set before humanity to receive. We don t produce the truth. We discover and embrace it. We chew on it, take it in like food, and gain strength from it. The Jews had a hard time swallowing Jesus truth about the Eucharist. They argued among themselves, trying to figure out this truth instead of simply accepting this revelation as coming from one they could trust then once accepted, strive to understand the mystery. Once we accept the world, situations, and revelations offered to us, and strive to understand these gifts, then wisdom can become ours. Some fundamental attitudes accompany this changed perspective: First, it is right to humbly accept the world, people, and situations as gifts to appreciate rather than problems to be solved. Second, believe God has wisdom to share. Third, build upon truths already known and revealed, accepting that we can t know it all. The Rodin sculpture also hides this same truth. God s hand fashions creation, holds it in his palm, and then offers it to us. We accept it as a gift, embrace it, and discover the wisdom of the hand of God hidden therein. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection Would the author of Proverbs consider me foolish in the way I live? Read more of the book to find out. Is there a truth I need to accept and build my life upon to move from foolishness to wisdom? [Wisdom says,] To any who lack sense I say, Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! Proverbs 9: Liguori Publications Liguori, MO La búsqueda de la sabiduría y el conocimiento ha sido durante mucho tiempo un esfuerzo supremo del corazón humano. Especialmente a medida que envejecemos, tenemos hambre de comprender verdaderamente la realidad, el corazón humano, la cultura moderna, sus problemas y soluciones. El Antiguo Testamento ofrece consejos increíbles sobre la búsqueda de la sabiduría. Usando la analogía de una mujer que prepara una comida e invita a otros a cenar en su mesa, la sabiduría es un regalo preparado por Dios y puesto ante la humanidad para recibirlo. No producimos la verdad. Lo descubrimos y lo aceptamos. Lo masticamos, lo tomamos como alimento y ganamos fuerza con él. Los judíos tuvieron dificultades para tragarse la verdad de Jesús sobre la Eucaristía. Discutieron entre ellos, tratando de descifrar esta verdad en lugar de simplemente aceptar que esta revelación provenía de alguien en quien podían confiar; luego, una vez aceptada, tratar de comprender el misterio. Una vez que aceptamos el mundo, las situaciones y las revelaciones que se nos ofrecen, y nos esforzamos por comprender estos dones, entonces la sabiduría puede convertirse en nuestra. Algunas actitudes fundamentales acompañan esta perspectiva cambiada: Primero, es correcto aceptar humildemente el mundo, las personas y las situaciones como regalos para apreciar en lugar de resolver problemas. Segundo, cree que Dios tiene sabiduría para compartir. Tercero, construya sobre verdades ya conocidas y reveladas, aceptando que no podemos saberlo todo. La escultura de Rodin también oculta esta misma verdad. La mano de Dios crea la creación, la sostiene en su mano y luego nos la ofrece. Lo aceptamos como un regalo, lo abrazamos y descubrimos la sabiduría de la mano de Dios escondida en él.

Can I, his father, accompany him in confession? If a penitent needs assistance in communicating to the priest, an interpreter may accompany this person into the confessional. A willing penitent can use the service of an interpreter if the priest, for example, doesn t having signing skills or know the penitent s language (Code of Canon Law, 983.2). (Your question suggests the priest wouldn t understand the penitent without assistance, or he s unable to write anything in advance to present to the priest.) The interpreter who has knowledge of the sins from confession is always strictly obliged to secrecy. This obligation applies to the sins expressed and to specific counsel and penance given by the confessor. Any interpreter who betrays a penitent may be punished with a just penalty, not excluding excommunication (Canon ). For the confessor, this secret, which admits of no exceptions, is called the sacramental seal, because what the penitent has made known to the priest remains sealed by the sacrament (Catechism of the Catholic, 1467). Only those who have the use of reason are capable of committing mortal sin. Nevertheless persons with intellectual disabilities often are conscious of committing acts that are sinful to some degree and may experience a sense of guilt and sorrow (Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments With Persons With Disabilities, 28). If the individual is capable of having a sense of contrition, even if the sin cannot be described precisely in words, the person may enjoy sacramental absolution. Fr. Byron Miller, CSsR Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org A Word From Pope Francis Amid the din of so many voices, the Lord asks us to distinguish between what is from him and what is from the false spirit.to distinguish the word of wisdom that God speaks to us each day from the shouting of those who seek in God s name to frighten, to nourish division and fear.
