A volunteer ministry of Saint Mary Cathedral

Rector’s Corner

Do you know who sits in your pew -- your weekly Saturday evening or Sunday spot -- at the Masses you do NOT attend each weekend? Who is that "Pew Pal,” the "other you" at another Mass? Typically we are drawn to a liturgy that we prefer, with people sharing similar preferences; however, not all Masses are alike at the Cathedral! Sometimes your Pew Pal has a very different set of liturgical preferences, and may even have a very different view of the Catholic Church from you. Some like Pope Francis' style, while others prefer Pope Benedict, Pope St. John Paul II, or perhaps Pius X or XII. This awareness of our diversity -- within one parish -- was what led me to preach the “Four Marks of the Church” series last fall during the election season. Today as we consider the words of the Gospel, I wonder how Jesus continues to encourage us to be one? One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic? It would seem - as intentional disciples - that we are called to love one another in ways that transcend the world's understanding of love. To be able to embrace the brother or sister who, while Catholic, may think very differently from ourselves; may have a very different cultural, or economic background. So, I leave you with this challenge: Would consider praying for your Pew Pal this week? Fr. Tim _____________________________________________________________ ¿Sabes quién está sentado en tu banco? Quién es esa persona sentado ahí en el mismo lugar en dónde tú te sientas semana tras semana pero en las misas que tu no asistes? ¿Quién es ese “amigo de banco”, el “otro” tú, en las otras misas? Normalmente nos sentimos atraídos a la liturgia que preferimos, con personas que tienen preferencias semejantes a las nuestras; sin embargo, ¡no todas las misas son iguales en la catedral! A veces tu amigo de banco tiene preferencias muy distintas a las tuyas, e incluso, esa persona puede tener una visión de la iglesia Católica bastante diferente que tú. A algunas personas les gusta el estilo del Papa Francisco y a otros el del Papa Benedicto XVI, o les gusta el estilo del Papa San Juan Pablo II o quizá el del Pío X o el del Pío XII. Esta conciencia de nuestra diversidad—dentro de la misma parroquia— fue el ímpetu que me llevó a predicar sobre las cuatro notas, o los cuatro atributos, de la iglesia Católica el otoño pasado. Hoy, al contemplar las palabras del evangelio, ¿cómo es que Jesús nos siga animando a ser uno? ¿Cómo podemos ser la iglesia que es una, santa, católica, y apostólica? Parecería—como discípulos intencionales— que estamos llamados a amarnos el uno al otro en maneras que trascienden la manera en que el mundo entiende el amor. Eso es, ser capaces de abrazar al hermano o a la hermana que, aunque sea Católico, puede pensar muy diferente que nosotros; puede tener una historia cultural y económica bastante diferente que la de nosotros. Entonces, te doy este reto: ¿Considerarías rezar por tu “amigo de banco” durante la próxima semana? Padre Tim
