Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Mark 10:17-27

The rich young man in this story is like a mountain climber who has almost reached the summit. But the final stretch will be more difficult than the distance he has already come. He comes to seek wisdom from Jesus about how to achieve everlasting life. He assures the Good Teacher that he has kept the commandments since he was a child. Jesus looks at him with love and challenges him to do one thing more. If he wants to reach the summit of treasure in heaven, the young man must sell his possessions and follow Jesus. This he cannot do. So he goes away sad. Jesus assures his disciples that entering the kingdom of God is no easy matter. Those who are attached to their possessions will have a more difficult time. However, those who rely on God to achieve the impossible can do all good things. 1.) Place yourself in the sandals of the rich young man. When you approach Jesus, what are you expecting? 2.) What is your reaction to the one thing more Jesus says you must do?

Evangelio: Marco 10:17-27 El hombre rico en esta historia es como el alpinista que casi llega la cima de l montaña. Pero el trecho final es más difícil que la distancia recorrida. El viene a Jesús en busca de sabiduría sobre como alcanzar la vid eterna. El asegura al buen maestro que desde pequeño ha cumplido los mandamientos. Jesús lo mira con amor y lo reta a hacer algo más. Si quiere alcanzar un tesoro en el cielo, el joven tiene que vender sus posesiones y seguir a Jesús. El no quiere hacer eso. Así que se va triste. Jesús asegura a sus discípulos que el entrar al reino de los cielos no es fácil. Es más fácil pasar por el ojo de una agua que los que están apegados a las riquezas entrar al reino de los cielos. Sin embargo, los que confían en Dios para alcanzar lo imposible pueden hacer todo tipo de cosas buenas. 1.) Ponte en los zapatos del joven rico. Cuando te acercas a Jesús ¿qué esperas? 2.) ¿Cuál es tu reacción a lo que Jesús te dice tienes que hacer además?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco CAMELS AND NEEDLES

Boston College professors recently studied "super-rich" Americans (worth $25 million or more). Surprisingly, wealth affects every aspect of their lives, and often negatively. Marriage and friendship can be difficult ("Do they love me or love my money?"). Rich parents worry that their children will fritter away their lives. Jesus challenged the rich young man in today's Gospel to free himself of the burden of wealth that was keeping him from the fullest possible life with God. Wealth is not evil as long as we do not let it own us. Wealth, in the form of skills, time, or money, is not an end but a means: a means to create a home; raise children; provide hospitality; to give time, attention, love, charity, and money; and to share with church and community for the well-being of all. Jesus promises that the one who gives up any possessions for his sake will be saved. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Living Stewardship Now What portion of your spare time, your abilities, and your money are you giving to Christ through his church? Only you can give what you have--no one else can give it for you. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

CAMELLOS Y AGUJAS Unos profesores de Boston College recién condujeron un estudio de estadounidenses "súper ricos" (con un patrimonio de 25 millones de dólares o más). Sorprendentemente su riqueza afecta todos los aspectos de su vida, a menudo negativamente. El matrimonio y la amistad pueden ser difíciles ("¿Me aman a mí o a mi dinero?"). Los padres ricos tienen la preocupación de que sus hijos desperdicien su vida. Jesús desafió al hombre rico del Evangelio de hoy para

que se liberara de la carga que la riqueza representaba y le prohibía una vida lo más cerca posible de Dios. La riqueza no es un mal hasta que dejamos que nos consuma. La riqueza en forma de habilidades, tiempo o dinero no es un fin, sino un medio: un medio para establecer un hogar, criar niños, brindar hospitalidad; para dar tiempo, atención, amor, paz y dinero, y también para compartirla con la Iglesia y la comunidad a beneficio de todos. Jesús promete que toda persona que por él renuncie a cualquiera de sus posesiones se salvará. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora ¿Qué parte de tu tiempo libre, de tus habilidades y de tu dinero le das a Cristo por medio de su Iglesia? Sólo tú puedes dar de lo que tienes, nadie más puede hacerlo por ti. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Dear Parishioners, The Parish Office has received calls recently about the problems with the bell system. The truth is age has caught up with the system. The bells were not ringing at the correct times or playing the selected music. It has become clear that it has to be replaced. For the past months we have been testing a new computerized system to see what is needed to have the bells and music we have all become accustomed to, working again. I would like to acknowledge and give my heartfelt gratitude to our parishioners listed below who have already made their donations in raising $10,000. If you are still interested in joining them, please place your donation in an envelope marked “BELLS” and leave it at the Parish Office. Thank you in advance for all you do to make our Parish special.

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Eugene D. Tungol, Pastor

WORDS OF WISDOM The spirit of wisdom, as we discover in today’s first reading, comes to those who pray for her. Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consolation as well as of great challenge. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the word of God, infused with the wisdom of God, is “sharper than any two-edged sword.” We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds. Jesus, the living word of God, the embodiment of wisdom, has strong, deeply penetrating words for the rich young man who comes to him seeking answers to his most profound questions. Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God’s commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

PALABRAS DE SABIDURÍA Hoy aprendemos en la primera lectura que el espíritu de la sabiduría llega a los que lo invocan. La sabiduría, como la Palabra de Dios, lleva un mensaje de consuelo y a la vez constituye un gran desafío. La carta a los hebreos nos cuenta que la Palabra de Dios, que está empapada con la sabiduría de Dios, es “más penetrante que una espada de dos filos”. No podemos acobardarnos ante la sabiduría de Dios ni ante la palabra que tiene el poder de penetrar nuestro corazón y mente. Jesús, la Palabra viva de Dios, la encarnación de la sabiduría, le dice cosas fuertes y muy penetrantes al joven rico que acude a Jesús en busca de respuestas a sus dudas más profundas. Precisamente, cuando el joven pensaba que había hecho lo suficiente para cumplir los mandamientos de Dios, se le exigió más. Lo mismo sucede en nuestro caso. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
