SEPTEMBER 4, 2016 TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Canonization of St. Teresa of Calcutta
September 4, 2016
Affectionately known as the
"saint of the gutter" for her
unconditional love for the
poor, abandoned and
marginalized, Mother
Teresa earned several
international honors,
including the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1979.
She was born Agnes Gonxha
Bojaxhiu of Albanian
parents on Aug. 26, 1910, in
Skopje, in what is now
Macedonia. She joined the
Loreto order of nuns in
1928.
In 1946, while traveling by
train from Kolkata to Darjeeling, she was inspired to found the Missionaries of Charity order. The order was
established four years later and has since opened more than 130 houses worldwide to provide comfort and care
for the needy. Today the Sisters of Charity number over 4000 sisters.
She died Sept. 5, 1997, in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, the eastern Indian city where she spent decades doing her
work. She was 87.
Mother Teresa is a woman for all people and all ages. Her message is universal. Mother Teresa's life message
inspires all to embrace suffering, especially that of the poor. Her statement, “One of the great tragedies of our
time, and indeed of all time, is that we tend to shun the suffering or at least avoid interacting with them (the
poor)”, challenges us to live a life of mercy and stewardship.
In honor of St. Teresa of Calcutta and her dedication to life of ministry to the poor, Pope
Francis has designated this weekend as the Jubilee for Workers of Mercy and Volunteers, i.e.
all those who are involved with ministry to the poor, abandoned or marginalized.
St. Vincent Martyr

DAILY READINGS TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Wisdom 9:13-18b This reading acknowledges that people have had a difficult time attempting to know God's wishes. At times we have difficulty understanding the things that happen on earth. Therefore, learning of things in heaven would have been impossible, except that God sent us wisdom and the Holy Spirit to help us understand him. Second Reading: Philemon 9-10, 12-17 Paul writes to Philemon regarding Onesimus, a slave who ran away and encountered Paul. Although Paul wished Onesimus could remain with him, he did not want to violate Philemon's wishes. Paul asks that Philemon receives his friend Onesimus as a beloved brother, not as a slave. He closes by saying, "Welcome him as you would me." Gospel: Luke 14:25-33 Jesus warns people who wish to follow him that they must abandon everyone else first. A person calculates the amount of money needed to complete a project before they begin it. In the same way, Jesus warns these people to consider exactly what is involved before they make a commitment to follow him.

A Family Perspective Today's gospel is clear: commitment to another involves sacrifice. Before we accept a commitment such as marriage or parenting, we must plan carefully like the king in today's gospel. These are serious commitments which demand complete self-giving and are not for the faint hearted or selfish.

VIGESIMO TERCER DOMINGO EN
TIEMPO ORDINARIO Primera Lectura: Sabirudría 9:13-18b En esta lectura se reconoce que la gente ha tenido dificultad en entender los deseos de Dios. A veces es difícil entender las cosas que pasan en la tierra. Así que tratar de entender las coas del cielo resultaría imposible. Por eso Dios no mandó sabiduría y al Espíritu Santo para ayudarnos a entenderlo. Segunda lectura: Filemón 9-10, 12-17 Pablo escribe a Filemón en relación a Onésimo, un esclavo que escapó y que se encontró con Pablo. Pablo deseaba que Onésimo pudiera quedarse con él, pero no quiso contradecir a Filemón. Pablo le pide a Filemón recibir a Onésimo como a un hermano, no como a un esclavo . Termina diciendo: “Recíbelo como si se tratara de mí mismo”. Evangelio: San Lucas 14:25-33 Jesús advirte que quien quiera seguirlo debe abandonarlo todo primero. Una persona calcula la cantidad de dinero que se necesita para terminar un proyecto antes de iniciarlo. De igual manera, Jesús advierte a esta gente a considerar exactamente lo que se require antes de que se comprometan a seguirlo.

UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES
SU PALABRA HOY por el Reverendo William J. Reilly
Vigésimo Tercer Domingo
de Tiempo Ordinario 4 de septiembre de 2016
“¿Qué hombre puede conocer los designios de Dios o hacerse una idea de lo que quiere el Señor? Los pensamientos de los mortales son indecisos y sus reflexiones, precarias… ¿Y quién habría conocido tu voluntad si tú mismo no hubieras dado la Sabiduría y enviado desde lo alto tu santo espíritu? Así se enderezaron los caminos de los que están sobre la tierra.”
La pregunta del Antiguo Testamento pareciera garantizar que la respuesta es ‘ninguno’. Ya que se nos da el don de las enseñanzas de Jesús, somos capaces de responder de forma diferente ya que se nos ha dado el Espíritu Santo. Sabemos que el plan de Dios es que toda la gente se salve y llegue a saber la verdad. El don del Espíritu Santo permite que ese plan eche raíces en nuestros corazones.
Al igual que Salomón, quien pidió un corazón comprensivo, el don de juzgar correctamente, somos capaces de seguir el plan que Dios tiene para nosotros para que se enderecen nuestros caminos.
Como discípulos misioneros, aceptamos nuestra cruz y seguimos al Señor que se nos ha revelado, nos ha invitado y apoyado en nuestra jornada. Cuando tenga dudas, pida al Espíritu que lo guíe, lo dirija y proteja el camino que ha empezado.
