Our Mission As an assembly empowered by the glory of the Resurrection, we are committed to one another and to the tradition of the Catholic Church in celebrating the Seven Sacraments, the Sacred Liturgy, proclaiming the Good News through Education, sustaining the community of Faith, and promoting Charity, Peace and Justice for all people, now and forever. THE WAY OF PRAYER Learning a scripture verse by heart is, of course, a way of praying. In today s Gospel, Jesus encourages us to pray. Jesus firmly believes in the power of prayer, going so far as to guarantee results: I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. Jesus promises something else, too, something vitally important. More than a game of Go Fish in which we hope we got what we asked for, prayer is a living encounter with Jesus himself: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Today s readings move us beyond the bare minimum and open an enormous world to us. We shun the pettiness of sin not because we fear punishment, but because we want to love others deeply. We pray to our great God not because we want to get favors from a divine vending machine, but because we want to spend time with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. THE WAY OF LOVE Although today s readings might seem drearily preoccupied with sin, Saint Paul explains why sin is important to discuss: because every sin reduces the amount of love in the world. Paul turns the focus from sin to love when he writes, Love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:10). What power that verse contains! If we begin each day by reciting that verse, we would be well on our way to a more generous life not only avoiding sin as much as possible, but also actively seeking out ways to make life sweeter for our neighbors. Memorized verses inspire us when we face difficulties during the day, when we are irritated with someone, for example, or we need to make a decision. Remembering that love is the fulfillment of the law might truly help us avoid sin and do good in daily life. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

2 VIGÉSIMO TERCER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO: 10 DE SEPTIEMBRE EL CAMINO DE LA ORACIÓN Aprender un versículo de la Biblia de memoria es, desde luego, una forma de hacer oración. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos anima a rezar. Jesús firmemente cree en el poder de la oración, avanzar es una garantía de obtener resultados: Yo les aseguro también que, si dos de ustedes se ponen de acuerdo para pedir algo, sea lo que fuere, mi Padre celestial se lo concederá. Jesús promete algo más también, algo vitalmente importante. Más que un juego como el de Ir a Pescar en el cual esperamos obtener lo que pedimos ; la oración es un vivo encuentro con el mismo Jesús: pues donde dos o tres se reúnen en mi nombre, ahí estoy yo en medio de ellos. Las lecturas de hoy nos mueven más allá de lo pequeño y abre un mundo enorme para nosotros. Rechazamos la mezquindad del pecado no porque temamos el castigo, sino porque queremos a amar a nuestro prójimo profundamente. Oramos a nuestro Dios todopoderoso no porque queremos favores de una máquina que dispensa golosinas, sino porque queremos dedicar un tiempo con nuestro Señor y Salvador, Jesucristo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. EL CAMINO DEL AMOR Aunque las lecturas de hoy podrían parecer tristemente preocupadas con el pecado, san Pablo explica porque el pecado es importante para discutir: porque cada pecado reduce la cantidad de amor que hay en el mundo. Pablo cambia el enfoque de pecado a amor cuando él escribe: cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar (Romanos 10:13). Que fuerza tiene ese versículo! Si empezamos a recitar esa frase, estaríamos bien en nuestro camino a una vida más generosa, no solo evitando el pecado lo más posible, sino también activamente buscando formas de hacer la vida más agradable para nuestros prójimos. Memorizar versículos nos inspira cuando enfrentamos dificultades durante el día, cuando estamos irritados con alguien, por ejemplo, o necesitamos tomar una decisión. Recordando que cumplir perfectamente la ley consiste en amar podría verdaderamente ayudarnos a evitar el pecado y hacer el bien en nuestra vida diaria. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
