St. James - St. Leo October 27, 2019

Fr. Gerard’s Corner When we pray, are we directing our prayer outward, to God, or are we directing it inward, toward ourselves? Note that in Jesus’ parable, he says that the Pharisee said his prayer to himself. This could mean that he said it silently, but it could also indicate that he directed it to and for himself. After all, he is congratulating himself on his goodness. He does not even ask God for anything, for he does not realize he needs God for anything. The tax collector, on the other hand, pleads with God for mercy, beating his breast and bowing his head. Perhaps the lowly, the poor, and the oppressed of the first reading are better heard by God because they actually turn to God. They realize their neediness.

“The one who humbles oneself,” Jesus says, “will be exalted” (Luke 18:14). Perhaps this is because the humble person is not seeking exaltation in the first place. Those who seek exaltation will never find it. Jesus, on the other hand, humbled himself to take on our humanity, then humbled himself further in dying on the cross. Through these most humbling acts, he became exalted above all others.

How can we emulate God? We can reach out in love and charity to those who are needier than we are. They are crying out in their need. We trust that God hears them, but we must try to hear them as well. Rather than turning away or wringing our hands in despair, we can look to see what we can do to help. Using Paul as a model, we can pour ourselves out like a libation, sacrificing our resources to fill others’ needs.

St. James - St. Leo 27 de octubre de 2019

Pregunta del Día

Cuando rezamos, ¿dirigimos nuestra oración a Dios o a nosotros mismos? Fijémonos que en la parábola de Jesús él dice que el fariseo dijo su oración para sí. Esto pudiera significar que la dijo en silencio, pero también pudiera indicar que la dirigió a sí mismo y para sí mismo. Después de todo, él mismo se felicita a sí mismo por su propia bondad. Ni siquiera le pide nada a Dios, pues ni se da cuenta de que necesita a Dios para todo. El publicano, por otro lado, se golpea el pecho con los ojos bajos y le suplica a Dios misericordia. Tal vez los humildes, los pobres y los oprimidos de la primera lectura son escuchados mejor por Dios porque verdaderamente se vuelven a Dios. Se dan cuenta de su propia necesidad.

“El que se humilla será enaltecido”, dice Jesús (Lucas 18, 14). Quizás sea porque la persona humilde nunca busca ser enaltecida. Los que buscan ser enaltecidos, nunca lo serán. Además, Jesús se humilló a sí mismo al encarnar nuestra humanidad y después se humilló aún más al morir en una cruz. Por esas acciones tan humillantes fue enaltecido más que nadie.

¿Cómo podemos emular a Dios? Podemos atender con amor y compasión a aquellos que están más necesitados que nosotros. Su gran necesidad los hace clamar. Confiamos en que Dios los escucha, pero también nosotros debemos tratar de escucharlos. En vez de darles la espalda o llevarnos las manos a la cabeza con desesperación, debemos mirar a ver qué podemos hacer para ayudar. Podemos también usar a Pablo como modelo y derramarnos como libación sacrificando nuestros recursos para atender las necesidades de los demás.
