2 November 5, 2017 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) Mal 1:14b 2:2b, Thes 2:7b 9, 13 Mt 23:1 12 A Priest s Lot T oday s readings are a stern call to conversion for priests who obviously have a special call to holiness. Like a parent cares for his or her children, a priest is entrusted with the spiritual children of God s family. His example, his words, and his way of carrying out his service all have profound effects on the holiness of the. The last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, condemns the priestly class of the Jews because they had turned away from God s commands and led people astray with faulty instruction. This rule of thumb from the Old Testament is still valid today: so goes the priests, so goes the people! Jesus himself had harsh words for priests and religious leaders as well. It is clear from the Gospel that one of the main reasons why Jesus was ill-received by so Piece: The Citizens of Rome Acknowledge many of his contemporaries was because St. Gregory the Great, 1500s Artist: Lorenzo Sabbatini the priestly class opposed him. He came Location: Vatican Museums to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him (John 1:11). Saint Paul gives us the example of what priests up and the last to go to bed. Slow to judge, quick to should be. They should so love their people that forgive. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC they become one with them in their suffering, joys, and victories. Rather than build up heavy burdens, For Reflection they should make them lighter by lending a hand to As a parent, am I a priest in my family? Do I lead lift them. They shouldn t dilute the gospel and its my children in prayer, teach them the faith, and set a demands but, with brotherly love, show the beauty of good example of faith and love of God? Do I pray for the gospel by the joy and charity with which they live. priests and offer them support and help? Like a good parent, they should be the first to wake With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us (1 Thessalonians 2:8). L 2017 Liguori Publications Liguori, MO as lecturas de hoy son un llamado severo a la conversión para los sacerdotes que obviamente tienen un llamado especial a la santidad. Como un padre se preocupa por sus hijos, a un sacerdote se le confían los hijos espirituales de la familia de Dios. Su ejemplo, sus palabras y su manera de llevar a cabo su servicio tienen efectos profundos en la santidad de la Iglesia. El último libro del Antiguo Testamento, Malaquías, condena la clase sacerdotal de los judíos porque se habían apartado de los mandamientos de Dios y habían desviado a la gente con instrucciones erróneas. Esta regla de oro del Antiguo Testamento todavía es válida hoy: así lo dicen los sacerdotes, así también la gente! Jesús mismo tuvo palabras duras para los sacerdotes y los líderes religiosos también. Del Evangelio se desprende que una de las principales razones por las que Jesús fue mal recibido por tantos de sus contemporáneos fue porque la clase sacerdotal se oponía a él. Vino a lo que era suyo, pero su pueblo no lo aceptó (Juan 1:11). San Pablo nos da el ejemplo de lo que deben ser los sacerdotes. Deberían amar a su gente de tal manera que se vuelvan uno con ellos en sus sufrimientos, alegrías y victorias. En lugar de acumular pesadas cargas, deberían hacerlas más ligeras al prestarles una mano para levantarlas. No deberían diluir el evangelio y sus demandas, pero, con amor fraternal, mostrar la belleza del evangelio con la alegría y la caridad con que viven. Como un buen padre, deberían ser los primeros en despertar y el último en ir a la cama. Lento para juzgar, rápido para perdonar.

I wish this could happen to me! I feel so trapped by life. My job, my kids, my aging parents, bills, health insurance. Everywhere I turn I m cornered by responsibilities. How can Scripture help? Many of us feel trapped by life. Life is complicated because often there is too much to do, too many obligations, too much going on. We feel burdened and many times even guilty that we re not doing more. There s never enough time. People are demanding and sometimes hurt our feelings. We can easily become victims of it all. Or we can become defensive, aggressive, or overly people pleasing. I invite you to pray the Scriptures daily. Open yourself to the Spirit s movement that s alive in the word and alive in you. Read a short passage. Think about it. Put yourself into the scene. Picture yourself listening to Jesus speak. Allow him to use your name. Let yourself be comforted, loved, freed, healed, and challenged to change your hectic pace in life. Instead of trying to control all that happens, begin to surrender and trust in God. The word of God can lead us to freedom if only we open our hearts to the wisdom it contains. It will probably lead you to prayer, to ask for God s help. You may find your heart opening to receive the love of God you encounter in the word. Remember, Jesus said, Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it (Luke 11:28). Adapted from Dear Padre: Questions People Ask, 2003 Liguori Publications, Sundaybulletin@liguori.org A Word From Pope Francis Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one s life. Those who listen to us and observe us must be able to see in our actions what they hear from our lips, and so give glory to God! I am thinking now of some advice that Saint Francis of Assisi gave his brothers: preach the Gospel and, if necessary, use words. Preaching with your life, with your witness.
