SER LEVANTADOS
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús le recuerda a Nicodemo cómo Moisés había “levantado la serpiente en el desierto”. Entonces dice Jesús, “así también es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado en alto, para que todo aquel que crea tenga por él vida eterna”. El evangelista claramente da a entender que este “ser levantado” de Jesús se refiere a su crucifixión.
La serpiente que Moisés “levantó” está descrita en la primera lectura de hoy. El pueblo fue atacado por “serpientes de las llamadas ‘ardientes’”, y muchos murieron. Dios dijo a Moisés que hiciera una imagen de la serpiente y la pusiera en un palo y la levantara. Si alguno era mordido, miraba a la serpiente y se recuperaba.
Jesús se “despojó de sí mismo, tomando la forma de un esclavo”. Levantado en la cruz, fue escarnecido y parecía
el más despreciable de todos. Pero fue abrazando esta deshonrosa y penosa muerte que llegó a ser el portador de la vida eterna para todos nosotros. Al ser “levantado” cubierto de vergüenza fue también “levantado” glorioso y triunfante.

BEING LIFTED UP
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds Nicodemus how Moses had “lifted up the serpent in the desert.” Then Jesus says,
“So must the Son of Man be lifted up, that all who believe may have eternal life in him.” The evangelist clearly saw
this “lifting up” of Jesus to mean his crucifixion.
That “lifting up” of the serpent by Moses is described in today’s first reading. The people were attacked by “saraph
serpents,” and many died. God had Moses make an image of the serpent and put it on a pole and lift it
up. The people who had been bitten looked at it and recovered.
Jesus “emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.” Lifted up on the cross, he was despised and
seemed the most abject of people. But it was in embracing this disgrace and painful death that he
became the bearer of eternal life for all of us. His “lifting up” in shame was also his “lifting up” in
glory and triumph. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Thank You
St. Clare’s first ever “Raise Your Glass for
Charity” event was held last Sunday. So many
people contributed to the success of this event and
I just want to thank everyone who sold tickets,
helped to set up, prepared food, poured drinks,
those who did the serving and were involved with
the entertainment, those who organized and
contributed auction items, and those who helped to
clean up. It was a really a fun evening and I hope
the attendees enjoyed themselves as much as I did.
We are already looking forward to raising our
glass next year!

Rachel’s Vineyard Weekend Retreat
(for healing after abortion)
Rachel’s Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild and
redeem hearts broken by abortion. Weekend retreats offer
a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment.
Rachel’s Vineyard facilitates an experience of God’s compassion on a profound level. It creates a place where you
can share, often for the first time, your deepest feeling
about abortion. Troubling secrets are allowed to be dismantled in an environment of emotional healing and spirituality.
Rachel’s Vineyard is therapy for the soul. Participants who
have been trapped in anger toward themselves or others,
experience forgiveness. Peace is found. Lives are restored.
A sense of hope is rediscovered.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Durante todo el mes de Septiembre se celebra el mes de la herencia hispana. Esta fiesta responde a una presencia hispana que
tiene su inicio con la llegada de los españoles a la Florida en 1513, hace 501 años. Los españoles estuvieron en 24 de los ahora 50
estados de Estados Unidos. Eventualmente, como bien sabemos, Florida, el Suroeste y Puerto Rico pasaron a manos de los estadounidenses.
Desde nuestra incorporación a este país hemos ido creciendo en presencia e influencia. La primera obra literaria en español
publicada en EE. UU., fue un sermón de don José Agustín Caballero en 1804. En 1808 inició la prensa hispana en EE. UU. con el
periódico El Misisipi en Nueva Orleáns. Este fue el primero de los medios de comunicación en español en esta nación. En 1822 se
eligió el primer político Hispano como representante estatal de Florida.
En 1865 la primera oficina para la pastoral católica entre los hispanos nombró al sacerdote Gabriel Serrano pastor
hispanorium (pastor de los hispanos) en San Francisco, California. En 1970 el sacerdote Patricio Flores fue el primer hispano en
ser consagrado como Obispo en y para Estados Unidos. En 1972 celebramos el Primer Encuentro Nacional de Católicos Hispanos
donde nos auto nominamos un pueblo en marcha. Y seguimos caminando.. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
