ENSEÑANZAS FAMILIARES Los maestros espirituales suelen repetir sus enseñanzas, y repetir las de otros maestros. Quizás no existen muchas verdades diferentes que decir. Sólo muchos seres humanos lentos y aletargados, como nosotros, que necesitan oír lo básico una y otra vez. Considera, por ejemplo las lecturas de hoy. La gente se queja de que Dios no es “justo” y Ezequiel responde que Dios es más que justo. Las personas eligen su propio destino, y las personas pueden cambiar. Hasta los malhechores pueden cambiar de rumbo, hacer lo que es justo, y vivir. “Los hechos valen más que las palabras”. ¿Un nuevo discernimiento? Para nada. Pablo dice a los filipenses que lo llenarían de alegría si los que claman ser creyentes, de hecho, buscan el interés de los otros y no el propio. “Obras son amores y no buenas razones”. ¿Una idea novedosa? No lo creo. En el relato de Jesús del viñador y sus dos hijos, todos saben que el que dijo que no trabajaría, pero lo hizo le lleva la delantera al que dijo que trabajaría, pero no lo hizo. “Fácil es hablar”. ¿Ya lo oíste antes? © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Apártate del pecado para que vivas (Ezequiel 18:25-28). Segunda lectura — Guarda en ti la misma actitud que está también en Cristo Jesús (Filipenses 2:1-11 [1-5]). Evangelio — Les aseguro que los pecadores se les han adelantado en el camino del Señor. Mateo 21:28-32).

FAMILIAR INSIGHTS Spiritual teachers tend to repeat themselves, and to repeat other teachers. Maybe there really aren’t that many different truths to tell. Just a lot of slow, sleepy human beings—like us—who need to hear the basics over and over. Consider today’s readings. People complain God isn’t “fair,” and Ezekiel answers that God is more than fair. People choose their own fates, and people can change. Even evildoers can turn, do right, and live. “Actions speak louder than words.” A fresh new insight? Hardly. Paul tells the Philippians that he would truly be encouraged if those who claimed to be believers would, in fact, look to others’ interests and not their own. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” A novel idea? I don’t think so. In Jesus’ story of the farmer and his sons, everyone knows that the one who said he wouldn’t work—but did—is way ahead of the one who said he would work—but didn’t. “Talk is cheap.” Heard that before? © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — When the wicked turn away from their wickedness and do what is right, they shall surely live (Ez 18:25-28). Second Reading — Consider others as better than yourselves and look to the interests of others (Phil 2:1-11 [1-5]). Gospel — Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you (Matthew 21:28-32).

Un bebé cocodrilo le pregunta a su papá: “Papá, ¿algún día tendré mucho dinero?” “Sí, hijo.” “¿Cuándo papá?” “¡Cuando seas billetera!” Fr. Murphy goes to a pub and asks the first man, “Do you want to go to heaven?” The man says yes and Fr. tells him, “Go stand against the wall.” He does this with several men; finally he goes up to O’Tool and asks him the same. O’Tool says, “Oh no!” Fr. Murphy reacts: “What? You don’t want to go to heaven when you die?” O’Tool says “Oh yes, when I die; I thought you were getting a group to go now!”
