SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 29, 2018
We are beginning a new homily series on I Believe in Love that will help to teach us the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux. During this homily series I will be pulling from a series of conferences by Fr. Jean C.J. D’elbee. These conferences are available in book form under the title I Believe in Love, A personal retreat based on the teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux by Fr. Jean C.J. D’elbee from Sophia Press.
This week we will be focusing on the first conference of Love for Love. `Pope Paul VI summarized lay spirituality when he said, “It will suffice to tell you in a word: only your personal and profound union with Christ will assure the fruitfulness of your apostolate, whatever it may be” (Pope Paul VI, Address to Congress of the Apostolate of the Laity on October 15, 1967). The way we experience this type of union with Christ in our lives is by realizing Love for love. God loves us with an unconditional love which is the definition of a love just for love’s sake. We are so used to a conditional form of love that we have a hard time accepting God’s unconditional love. St. Therese of Lisieux teaches us how to “empty our hands” by giving everything to God. It is important to give God our worries, our joys, our all. This basically means to empty ourselves of self-reliance and learn to rely totally on God.
In this weekend’s first reading and Gospel we hear of how a multiplication of loaves takes place. In the first reading Elisha instructs his servant to give twenty barley loaves to hundred people. His servant resists because he knows that is not enough bread. Elisha however empties himself of doubt and relies on God to feed the people and so God does. In the Gospel we hear of how Jesus performs an even more radical multiplication. This time Jesus feeds more than five thousand people with just five barley loaves and two fish. Jesus’s disciples like Elisha’s servant doubt in God’s providence but Jesus empties himself of doubt by trusting that God the Father will provide. In each of these multiplication accounts what occurs is Elisha or Jesus are emptying themselves of human self-reliance and showing a total reliance on God. This leads to the miracle of not only have enough food but of having leftovers.
We can fear sharing our love with others because we fear there will not be enough love to go around. St. Therese of Lisieux seeks to teach us how God’s love is without limits. If we empty ourselves of inadequacy and doubt of God’s love then we permit God to fill us with more and more love. Just like Elisha’s servant or Jesus’s disciples doubted the multiplication we doubt God’s multiplication of love. We need to learn that the more we receive God’s unconditional love and share it with others then the more love we will have. There literally will be love left over just as there was food leftover.
St. Therese of Lisieux, pray that we learn to love for love, Fr. Charlie

DECIMOSÉPTIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 29 DE JULIO DE 2018
Como ya en el tiempo de Jesús, así también hoy el pan de cada día sigue siendo el problema principal para la mayor parte de la humanidad. Y los hombres de hoy no sufren sólo hambre del cuerpo, sino también hambre del espíritu, hambre del corazón, hambre de fraternidad y de amor. Y nos damos cuenta que esto pasa porque los cristianos no hemos tomado muy en serio el mensaje del Evangelio, porque después de más de 2000 años de cristianismo no hemos logrado construir todavía un mundo de fraternidad. Es Jesucristo quien alimenta a los hombres con su palabra de vida y, como en el Evangelio de hoy, les da de comer pan. Pero no sé si Uds. han notado la disposición que Jesús exige, antes de realizar este milagro, la orden que da, la condición que impone.
Ante todo, les pide un acto de confianza, un gesto de entrega en sus manos: les manda sentarse en el suelo. Mientras están de pie, no dependen más que de ellos mismos: conservan al menos la posibilidad de buscar comida ellos mismos. Pueden encontrarse con un amigo, con un vendedor ambulante, pueden ir a buscar algo a otro sitio, pueden marcharse. Pero al tomar asiento están renunciando a toda posibilidad de bastarse a sí mismos. No tendrán más remedio que entregarse a Él, confiarse a Él. Cuando oyen esta invitación a sentarse, yo creo que no pocos dudan. Su exigencia les muerde el corazón, luchan en su interior con la inquietud, con el miedo, con el orgullo. Les pide precisamente lo que menos ganas tienen de darle. Porque se sienten intranquilos, agitados por el hambre. Y Él les pide que se tranquilicen, que se entreguen a Él, que tengan confianza en Él. ¿Van a fiarse de Él? ¿Van a creer que es capaz de alimentarlos? ¿Van a darle, por lo menos, la oportunidad para mostrarlo?
¿Qué sentiríamos nosotros el día en que por primera vez nos encontráramos en la necesidad de decirle sinceramente: danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día? ¿No nos veríamos tentados de intentar cualquier otra cosa, en vez de recurrir a Dios? ¿No sería terrible tener que admitir que no tenemos ningún otro recurso más que Él? En fin, algunos, en un verdadero acto de fe, se sientan - quizá con los ojos cerrados. Luego, les van siguiendo los demás. Muchos vacilan todavía hasta decidirse, abandonarse. Y entonces hay un momento extraordinario, en el que los 5000 se sientan, en el que todos juntos hacen un acto de fe. Y cuando el pan empieza a circular entre sus manos, cuando cada uno se queda con todo lo que quiere, y cuando ven que todavía sobra - pienso que entonces ya nadie se extraña demasiado. El verdadero milagro se ha realizado antes. El verdadero milagro lo ha hecho Jesús con ellos mismos: era el milagro de su fe y de su amor. También a nosotros se nos pone la misma condición, la misma exigencia: ¿Creemos nosotros en Él? ¿Creemos que Cristo es capaz de saciar nuestra hambre? ¿Creemos que Él puede cambiar nuestra vida, llenarla, renovarla? Si tenemos suficiente fe como Jesús en el evangelio de hoy. Dios va a ayudarnos con nuestras necesidades. Dios ayúdanos con nuestras necesidades,
Padre Charlie
