The Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Sunday is the Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time. In Luke's gospel we see Jesus challenged by a scholar who asks how to obtain eternal life. Jesus says "love your neighbor as yourself." When he is asked, "who is my neighbor?" Jesus tells the well-loved story of the Good Samaritan, who stopped to help a Levite who had been left for dead. Even though others had passed by the Levite, the Samaritan cares for him with tenderness. “Go and do likewise," Jesus tell us. We begin three weeks of readings from the Book of Exodus continuing the story of God’s faithful deliverance of the people from slavery in Egypt. This week we read of their plight in Egypt, Moses’ birth and how he became a part of Pharaoh’s inner circle, Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush, God’s summons to Moses and the people, and the story of the Passover up to the time they left Egypt. The Psalm responses this week are particularly wonderful entries to prayer: Our help is in the name of the Lord. Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live. The Lord is kind and merciful. The Lord remembers his covenant forever. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord. His mercy endures forever. We follow a powerful part of Matthew’s Gospel all week, with some wonderful messages of Jesus, preparing us for parables about the Kingdom of God. Jesus does not come to bring simple peace, but to call us to find our lives by surrendering them to him and his mission. Then Jesus goes to teach and to preach, beginning with strong words for the towns in which he worked great cures and where the people have not repented. Rather than being discouraged, Jesus prays to his Father and we have the privilege of overhearing him say that, although these things are hidden from those who seemed educated and clever, “you have revealed them to the childlike.” Jesus invites us to come to him – when we are burdened – and he will give us rest. He doesn’t tell us we will have no burden. By taking up his burden, the mission he gives us will be light. When the Pharisees go after his disciples because in their hunger they picked grain on the Sabbath, Jesus challenges them to learn what God meant by these words from the prophet Hosea, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” From that point on, those who rejected him conspired to kill him. _________________________________________________

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME/DECIMOQUINTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

“¿QUE DEBO HACER PARA CONSEGUIR LA VIDA ETERNA”?

Jesús contó la parábola del buen samaritano, que habla del amor a los demás. Podemos concluir que será “buen samaritano” quien ama a Dios y lo sirve en el prójimo. _____________________________________________________
