GOD’S WORK OF SALVATION
God’s work of salvation
is the focus of this weekend’s readings. From the
prophetic event of Isaiah
to Jesus’ understanding of
the human condition in Hebrews, concluding with Jesus paying our ransom in
Mark, God is in control.
There may be failings and
misunderstandings along the way. We may move away
from God, but at our conversion, God leads us back. Like
James and John, we may let greed and power blur our
vision of what Jesus wants us to know about the Kingdom; but tirelessly we are taught and re-taught what life
in the Kingdom will be. Jesus has paid our ransom to ensure that we will share in the Kingdom.
It is not unusual to think of Jesus’ ransom as a punishment that he endured. However, it is more accurate,
and more like Jesus, for us to recognize ransom as God’s
gift to us.

LA OBRA DIVINA DE SALVACIÓN
La obra de Dios de la salvación es el enfoque de las
lecturas este fin de semana. Desde el acontecer profético de Isaías hasta la visión de Jesús sobre la condición
humana en Hebreos, y terminando con el rescate que
paga Jesús por nosotros en san Marcos, Dios está al mando. Puede que ocurran caídas e incomprensiones por el
camino. Puede que nos alejemos de Dios, pero Dios nos
trae de vuelta a su lado mediante la conversión. Al igual
que Santiago y Juan, a veces dejamos que la avaricia y el
poder empañen nuestra visión de lo que Jesús nos quiere
enseñar sobre el Reino; pero sin tregua nos enseña y nos
repite cómo ha de ser la vida en el Reino. Jesús ha pagado
por nuestro rescate para garantizar que compartamos el
Reino con él.
No es raro que pensemos sobre el rescate que pagó
Jesús en términos de un castigo que tuvo que sufrir. Sin
embargo, es más acertado y más como Jesús, reconocer
que el rescate es un regalo de Dios para nosotros.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

DID YOU KNOW?
Ask Your Kids Open-Ended Questions
Communication is key for making sure you are up to date
with your kids’ lives as they grow older and you can’t be with
them every step of the way. One way to keep communication
healthy is to ask your kids open-ended questions. Some kids
don’t open up and spill every detail, so you have to consider
how to phrase questions that draw them in and allow them to
share their thoughts and experiences. When you do ask open
-ended questions, make sure you are patient in waiting for
the answers. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article
email: [email protected].
¿SABÍA USTED?
Hágale preguntas abiertas a los niños
La comunicación es la clave para estar seguros de que
usted está al día de lo que sucede en la vida de sus hijos – a
medida que van creciendo y usted no puede estar con ellos en
todo momento. Una de las claves para mantener los medios de
comunicación abiertos con sus hijos es hacerles preguntas
abiertas. Algunos niños no se abren fácilmente ni sueltan
ningún detalle. Usted debe tener en cuenta, como hace la
pregunta para que su hijo se acerque y comparta sus
pensamientos y experiencias. Cuando usted hace preguntas
abiertas, tenga en cuenta que debe ser paciente para esperar
una respuesta. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® envíe

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Irish are rightly tired of being the subject of jokes
about guilt. In fact, it is from the Celtic church that the
whole experience of reconciliation in our tradition was creatively rescued and revived. The Irish church was unique in its
origins, not so much organized around dioceses, but around
monasteries. Aspects of religious community life readily
spilled over into ordinary gatherings of the faithful, including
the way people looked at sin and applied remedies. Unlike the
public nature of canonical penance, the Irish method was
linked to a kind of mentoring process they called “soul friending.” Just as young novice monks might find a mentor in the
wisdom of a senior guide, so did a way of penance open up to
ordinary folks. Monks were accustomed to frequent confession of faults to the abbot or mentor, who would suggest penances. In time, abbots with a certain flair for this began to
share lists of sins and corresponding “tariffs” with others.
Some of these books survive, and provide a hair‑raising view
of long‑ago sins like cattle rustling, and a great deal of self‑correction involving dips in icy streams and rolling about in
thickets of thorns. After the penance was performed, the
penitent returned to the confessor, and in a private act
marked by the laying on of hands, or perhaps a kiss of the
altar, the sinner was restored.
Irish monks were committed travelers, and their methods were widely copied. We might say that they saved a sacrament, but at the expense of shifting attention to the sins
of the individual and away from the actions of the reconciling
community. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Santiago y Juan, además de ser hermanos, eran tipos
muy atrevidos. Se acercaron a Jesús para pedirle puestos de
poder y autoridad en el Reino que estaba estableciendo. Al
darse cuenta, los demás discípulos se molestaron con ellos,
probablemente porque deseaban los mismos puestos. La tentación y el deseo de poder es algo muy común a todos los seres humanos. Todos deseamos el primer puesto y la estima de
los demás. No obstante, Jesús nos recuerda que no es fácil
tener responsabilidad. La autoridad es un cáliz difícil de beber ya que muchas veces contiene una bebida amarga y el
peso o decisión de ser fieles al Evangelio, aún a costa de la
propia vida.
Por tal motivo, la persona que quiera estar cerca de Jesús
tendrá que aprender a ser como Cristo, quien no vino a imponer su autoridad buscando ser servido, sino que vino a servir.
Él, siendo Dios, no se aferró a su condición divina, sino que se
hizo uno de tantos, cuidando a su madre por muchos años,
juntándose con pecadores, lavando los pies a sus discípulos y
dando la vida por todas las personas. Estar al lado de Jesús no
es cuestión de poder, sino de amor y servicio, hasta dar la
vida. Él nos puso el ejemplo.
