From Fr. Davy’s Desk:

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

Our global culture is marked by 'selfish capitalism', and our consumerist economy is fueled by our

willingness to believe that life is incomplete without more stuff. How often have we been enticed

to believe that a new mobile phone, or package holiday, or some other amazing product, is just

what we need to make our life more complete? When a wedding is celebrated spending millions

of dollars it doesn’t make any difference in the eyes of God, even if only a penny is spent for an-

other wedding. All earth's goods are indeed good, but the problem, as social psychologists note, is

that increased consumption does not satisfy our deepest human need for love.

Jesus warns us to 'beware of all covetousness; for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of

his possessions'. The Desert Fathers recognized that greed created false needs, thus leading to dis-

contentment and restlessness, and modern advertisements rely on this weakness to tempt us to buy

more. Saint Paul called greed ‘idolatry’ because no temporal good can ever satisfy our fundamen-

tal longing for God, for whom our hearts are made, and in whom we find our rest.

There are many families going through painful economic crisis. The scripture this Sunday, espe-

cially the parable of the ‘rich fool,’ is a wake-up call. Many have been forced to re-evaluate their

lives and their priorities and to recall what blessings we do have in our friends, family and in our-

selves. So too, the preacher in Ecclesiastes delivers a wake-up call: 'Vanity of vanities, all is van-

ity'! And Christ, in his sharply-worded parable, calls one who seeks a life of ease and to just 'eat,

drink and be merry', a 'fool'. Thus, this week's readings call us to consider what we truly value and

challenge us to examine whether we share our 'inheritance' with our brethren who are in need. Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI Pastor

Mensaje del Padre Davy:

DÉCIMOCTAVO DÍA DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

Nuestra cultura global está marcada por el 'capitalismo egoísta', y nuestra economía consumista se

alimenta de nuestra voluntad de creer que la vida está incompleta sin más cosas. ¿Con qué fre-

cuencia nos han incitado a creer que un nuevo teléfono móvil, o un paquete de vacaciones, o algún

otro producto sorprendente, es justo lo que necesitamos para hacer nuestra vida más completa?

Cuando se celebra una boda o quinceañera gastando miles de dólares, no hace ninguna diferencia

a los ojos de Dios, incluso si solo se gasta un centavo en otra boda o cumpleaños. Todos los bie-

nes de la tierra son realmente buenos, pero el problema, como señalan los psicólogos sociales, es

que el aumento del consumo no satisface nuestra necesidad humana más profunda de amor.

Jesús nos advierte que 'tengamos cuidado con toda avaricia; porque la vida de un hombre no con-

siste en la abundancia de sus posesiones.' Los Padres del Desierto reconocieron que la avaricia

creaba necesidades falsas, lo que conducía al descontento y la inquietud, y los anuncios modernos

se basan en esta debilidad para tentarnos a comprar más. San Pablo llamó a la avaricia "idolatría"

porque ningún bien temporal puede satisfacer nuestro anhelo fundamental por Dios, para quien

están hechos nuestros corazones y en quienes encontramos nuestro descanso.

Hay muchas familias que atraviesan una dolorosa crisis económica. La escritura de este domingo,

especialmente la parábola del "rico tonto", es una llamada de atención. Muchos se han visto obli-

gados a reevaluar sus vidas y sus prioridades y a recordar las bendiciones que tenemos en nuestros

amigos, familiares y en nosotros mismos. Así también, el predicador en Eclesiastés hace una lla-

mada de atención: "¡Vanidad de vanidades, todo es vanidad"! Y Cristo, en su parábola agudamen-

te redactada, llama a alguien que busca una vida fácil y simplemente "comer, beber y ser feliz", un

"tonto". Por lo tanto, las lecturas de esta semana nos llaman a considerar lo que realmente valora-

mos y nos desafían a examinar si compartimos nuestra "herencia" con nuestros hermanos que la

necesitan.

Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI
