Stewardship Reflections
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9
Jesus assures us that if we ask Him, God will take care of
what we need. The problem is that in our culture we
often confuse what we really need with what we simply
want. Many people need very little. However, we
usually want so much more. A good steward only asks
God for what he needs.

Jesús nos asegura que si le pedimos, Dios se encargará de
lo que necesitamos. El problema es que en nuestra
cultura a menudo confundimos lo que realmente
necesitamos con lo que simplemente queremos. Muchas
personas necesitan muy poco. Sin embargo, por lo
general queremos mucho más. Un buen administrador
sólo pide a Dios por lo que necesita.
Reflections by Father Karl
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The readings this week challenge us to seriously consider what we really believe about God: is God
merciful or not? The first reading from Genesis seems to say that God is capable of anger and wrath.
This reading also stands in stark contrast to the second reading and the Gospel.
Genesis speaks of God’s wrath and anger. Abraham was forced to manipulate God into not vengefully
destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have to ask, is this our vision of God? What is the
“wrath of God?” What do we believe in our heart of hearts? Have we passively accepted a vision of a
god who is ready to condemn and punish?
When we look at the second reading and the Gospel we get a very different picture of God. St. Paul
talks about when “(we) were dead in transgressions…he (God) brought you (us) to life along with him.”
In the Gospel we hear Jesus say;
“What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion
when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good things to your children,
how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Which version of God is accurate? Is God condemning and harsh or is He forgiving and generous?
Jesus makes it clear that God is indeed merciful and understanding and always willing to give. The
abundance of God’s love for us is beyond human understanding.
We often experience difficulty because we forget that while we are created in God’s image the opposite
is not true: God is not created in our image. God is not subject to all the human faults that are integral
to fallen human nature. Have confidence in God’s mercy!
17° domingo del tiempo ordinario
La lecturas de esta semana nos desafían a considerar en serio lo que realmente creemos de Dios: ¿Es
Dios misericordiosos o no? La primera lectura del libro del Génesis parece decir que Dios es capaz del
enojo y la ira. Esta lectura es un gran contraste a la segunda lectura y al evangelio.
Génesis nos habla del enojo y la ira de Dios. Abraham fue forzado a manipular a Dios para que no
destruyera las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra con venganza. Debemos preguntaros ¿Es esta nuestra
visión de Dios? ¿Qué es la ira de Dios? ¿Que creemos en nuestros corazones? ¿Hemos aceptado
pasivamente una visión de un Dios que está dispuesto a condenar y castigar?
La segunda lectura y el evangelio nos dan una imagen muy diferente de Dios. San Pablo habla de
cuando “(nosotros) estábamos muertos en pecados...El (Dios) te (nos) dio vida junto con El." En el
Evangelio escuchamos a Jesús decir:
¿Habrá entre ustedes algún padre que le de a su hijo una víbora cuando le pida pescado? ¿O cuando
pida un huevo, le dé un alacrán? Pues, si ustedes que son malos, saben dar cosas buenas a sus hijos,
¿Cuánto más el Padre celestial dará el Espíritu Santo a quienes lo pidan?
¿Cuál versión de Dios es exacta? ¿Dios condena y es severo o perdona y es generoso? Jesús deja en
claro que Dios es sin duda misericordiosos y comprensivo y siempre está dispuesto a dar. La
abundancia del amor de Dios va más del entendimiento humano.
A menudo experimentamos dificultades porque olvidamos que aun que somos creados a la imagen de
Dios lo contrario no es cierto: Dios no es creado a nuestra imagen. Dios no está sujeto a todas las
fallas humanas que son parte integral de nuestra naturaleza imperfecta.
¡Tengan confianza en la misericordia de Dios!

The children and volunteers of this year's
Vacation Bible School: Our Fantastic Four St.
Luke the Evangelist would like to express our
thanks and gratitude to our St. Bartholomew faith
family. This week we made an exciting
imaginative journey of faith with the Gospel of St.
Luke. Our fifty-six children ages 5 to 12, with eight
Faith Lesson Leaders, and the able assistance of
thirty-two middle and high school youth
experienced the stories of St. Luke in a fun and
informative way. Under the direction of our
Assembly leaders, Art/Craft station leaders,
Games, Bible/Prayer leaders, and Movie leaders
and our exceptional Kitchen Angels in charge of
snacks this week was a huge success.
