15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"He replied to him, 'You have answered correctly; do
this and you will live.'" In today's Gospel a scholar
questions Jesus about how to gain eternal life. In case
anyone ever wonders whether heaven is within reach,
one only needs to refer to this Gospel. Jesus provides a
clear answer that gives us a clear plan of action: We are
to love God with all that we are, and also to love our
neighbors. Really, it's that simple.
The scholar, however, complicated things to make
himself look better. Instead of accepting the simplicity of
Jesus' instruction, he wanted to split hairs, asking, "And
who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied with the story of the
Good Samaritan-and the lesson that our neighbors are
not just those we know or love. Rather, our neighbor is
the person that needs our help, the person whom we
would rather ignore, the person whom God puts in our
path. In short, everyone is our neighbor and we are called
to treat everyone with mercy. This is part of how we gain
eternal life.
But this flows from the first element of Jesus' answer.
First and foremost, Jesus instructs us to love God "with
all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength,
and with all your mind." When we love God in this way,
truly as the Lord of our life, then loving our neighbors
becomes the easy part. When our hearts and minds are
full of the love of God-who loves all people-then it will
necessarily follow that we too will desire to share that
love with others and not count the cost.
The Good Samaritan is an excellent example of this kind
of love. Without hope of repayment, he gave of his time
and his money to help the poor victim. But in return, the
Samaritan will surely "gain eternal life."
Year of Mercy: Book Discussion
As we venture together through this
Jubilee Year of Mercy, why not let the
Lord show you His great Love and
Mercy through Pope Francis’s
inspiring book,
The Church of Mercy.
This year’s Book Discussion will be
September 8th 2016, save the date
and get your book now!
We will be sharing how God’s divine Mercy has shined
down upon us through the words of one of the greatest
spiritual teachers, Pope Francis.
Books will be on sale in the rectory for $15 each.

15º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La parábola del buen Samaritano no es más que la
gran misericordia de Dios por medio de Jesús. Jesús es
el buen Samaritano que con su narración nos sintetiza
el amor. Los personajes del levita y del sacerdote son
símbolos de personas que a pesar de estar bien
preparados y tener cargos importantes en sus
comunidades pasan de largo entretenidos en sus
proyectos. Por su mezquindad no pueden ver a la
persona herida al borde del camino. Comprender la
imagen del Dios bondadoso y ver los problemas que
existen en el mundo de hoy es una gracia. Y bajar hasta
los problemas de las personas que necesitan ayuda es
tarea de todos nosotros como bautizados.
El samaritano actuó con la justicia bíblica que Dios
demanda. Desde que Dios nos estaba formando de
barro y mediante el soplo de su aliento divino, ya nos
estaba preparando para ser buenos samaritanos. ¿De
qué forma al ser bautizados nos compromete a ayudar a
los demás? ¿Quiénes son mis prójimos? ¿Quiénes son
mis hermanos y hermanas que claman por justicia?
Ojalá que en nuestras familias y comunidades
actuemos como el buen Samaritano, que es Jesús
mismo, mostrando misericordia y compasión de unos
para con otros. Meditando y orando con la palabra de
Dios y acercándonos a los sacramentos de la
reconciliación y de la Eucaristía es cómo lograremos
destruir el mal que nos rodea continuamente. Sin duda
alguna hace falta en el mundo muchos buenos
samaritanos. ¿Eres tú uno de ellos? Recordemos que el
primer mandamiento de amar a Dios va unido al del
amor al prójimo.
