TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The French Revolution is hardly a “treasure” in
our story, yet in 1789 it began to dismantle the way
the world was organized: feudalism. The collapsed
society had three basic divisions: those who work,
those who fight, and those who pray. There wasn’t a
great deal of movement among the ranks, yet one
way to move out of the workers and the fighters was
in the direction of the folks who prayed. These were
the First Estate, the clergy.
One of the key persons in any manor or village
was the priest. He could read, at least a bit, and so
was the source for pronouncements and news from
government and Church. He was assigned to
celebrate the sacraments frequently and in
conformance with certain rules.
Seminaries did not exist before the Reformation.
Astute Protestant reformers then forced the Catholic
world toward a more educated and able clergy.
Before that, young men apprenticed with a priest to
learn the essentials, and would be presented to the
bishop for ordination. Other priests emerged from
the university system, where students were required
to be invested as clerics. Still others were monks,
ordained not so much for ministry outside the
monastic walls, but to offer Mass only for the
intentions of the community’s benefactors.

WATCH YOUR POSTURE
Our posture is often a tip-off to our hospitality
and reverence for the Lord. Note the actions of
Abraham as he greeted the Lord in the presence of
three men who appeared near his tent. He ran from
the entrance of the tent to greet them. He bowed to
the ground as he met them. He and Sarah, his wife,
hastened to prepare a meal and bring food and water
to their guests.
In the Gospel story, Jesus’ friend Mary sat at his
feet in order to listen to him speak.
How do we welcome and reverence the Lord?
What do our actions show? Do we remember the
Lord’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament? How do
we welcome the Lord in the scripture readings?
How do we acknowledge his presence in our
brothers and sisters, both at Mass and afterwards?
Whether we kneel, stand, or sit in the Lord’s
presence, may our hearts and minds always be
attuned to him.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
América es un continente nacido del mestizaje que
tomó a los europeos, los indígenas y los africanos
para engendrar algo nuevo. Normalmente pensamos
en el mestizaje de sangre que produjo nuevas razas
latinoamericanas. Pero también existe el mestizaje
cultural que produce nuevos elementos latinoamericanos. Uno de estos es el sarape, hijo de la tilma precolombina y el manto español. Este mestizaje en tela
tiene sus principios en el siglo XVIII con una proliferación de talleres en Zacatecas, Saltillo y otros lugares. Esta cobija colorida, de algodón o lana, fue desarrollada para añadir color y belleza a los charros de
siglos pasados.
A través de la historia el sarape ha sido usado por
vaqueros, jinetes, soldados y revolucionarios. Hoy
día el sarape, jorongo, frazada, gabán o cobija se ha
convertido en símbolo de tradición mexicana y se
encuentra decorando hogares, restaurantes e iglesias.
México no es el único país que ha desarrollado un
mestizaje en tela, también Guatemala, Colombia, El
Salvador y otros más tienen sus telas y tapetes particulares que mezclan los colores y los diseños para
celebrar el talento y la creatividad del mestizaje latinoamericano.

CUIDA TU POSTURA
Nuestra postura es muchas veces un indicio de
nuestra hospitalidad y reverencia por el Señor.
Observa las acciones de Abraham cuando saludó al
Señor en presencia de tres hombres que aparecieron
cerca de su tienda. Corrió desde la entrada de la
tienda a saludarlos. Se postró en tierra a su
encuentro. Él y Sara, su esposa, se apresuraron a
preparar una comida y llevarle alimento y agua a sus
invitados.
En el relato del Evangelio, María, la amiga de
Jesús, se sentó a sus pies para escucharlo hablar.
¿Cómo le damos la bienvenida y reverenciamos
al Señor? ¿Qué demuestran nuestras acciones?
¿Recordamos la presencia del Señor en el Santísimo
Sacramento? ¿Cómo le damos la bienvenida al
Señor en las lecturas de las Escrituras? ¿Cómo
reconocemos su presencia en nuestros hermanos y
hermanas, tanto en la Misa como después?
Ya sea que nos arrodillemos, nos pongamos de
pie o nos sentemos ante la presencia del Señor, que
nuestro corazón y nuestra mente esté siempre en
sintonía con él.

Saint Joseph Parish
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Sunday, July 17, 2016
Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Last
Sunday’s
“Good
Samaritan” parable concluded
with Jesus’ command: Go provide
hands-on mercy to the next person
you meet, no conditions, no limits,
no exceptions. But today, Jesus seems to criticize
Martha’s hands-on mercy of hospitality, while
praising Mary’s “hands-off” as “choosing the better
part” (Luke 10:42). Mary sat listening (10:39),
leaving Martha “burdened with much serving by
herself” (10:40). So, is the contemplative life of
prayerful silence “superior,” but the active life of
earning a living, raising a family, running parishes,
schools, hospitals, and social service ministries
“second-class” discipleship? No; Jesus’ example is
not either/or but both/and: silent communion with
God, boundless compassion for people. If we do not
seek Jesus in silent prayer, how will we find Jesus in
all others? If we do not serve Jesus in others, will
our worship, despite its beauty, be anything but
empty ritual? This Jubilee Y ear of Mercy offers us
Jesus’ two-fold challenge: both “go and do” and “sit
and listen.”
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
17 de julio de 2016
Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La parábola del domingo pasado terminaba con la
orden de Jesús: vayan a hacer obras de misericordia a
su prójimo, sin condiciones, sin limites, sin
excepciones. Pero hoy, Jesús parece que reprocha que
Marta esté practicando la obra de misericordia de la
hospitalidad, por el contrario parece que elogia a
María “quien está haciendo nada” como que “escogió
la mejor parte” (Lucas 10:42). María está sentada
escuchando (10:39), dejando a Marta “sola con todo
el quehacer” (10:40). ¿Entonces parece que la vida
contemplativa del silencio es “superior” y, una vida
activa, de trabajo, de familia, de hacer algún tipo de
pastoral en la Iglesia, en la escuela, en un hospital o
de asistencia social es un discipulado de “segunda
clase”? La respuesta es NO. El ejemplo de Jesús no
es: esto/aquello sino ambos/y; una comunión en
silencio con Dios, una compasión sin límites por las
personas. Si no buscamos a Jesús en la oración en
silencio, ¿cómo encontraremos a Jesús en nuestros
prójimos? Si no servimos a Jesús en el prójimo,
¿nuestra adoración, alabanza, culto, pese a su
hermosura, será cualquier cosas además de un ritual
vacío? Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, Jesús nos
ofrece dos desafíos de Jesús: ambos “vayan y hagan”
y “siéntense y escuchen”.
