26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading 1
Am 6:1a, 4-7
who alone has immortality, who dwells in
unapproachable light, and whom no human being has
seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal power.
Amen.
Gospel
Thus says the LORD the God of hosts: Woe to the
complacent in Zion! Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched
comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken
from the flock, and calves from the stall! Improvising to
the music of the harp, like David, they devise their own
accompaniment. They drink wine from bowls and
anoint themselves with the best oils; yet they are not
made ill by the collapse of Joseph! Therefore, now they
shall be the first to go into exile, and their wanton
revelry shall be done away with.
Responsorial Ps
PS.146:7, 8- 9, 9- 10
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
Blessed he who keeps faith forever, secures justice for
the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD
sets captives free.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises
up those who were bowed down; the LORD loves the
just. The LORD protects strangers.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
The fatherless and the widow he sustains, but the way
of the wicked he thwarts. The LORD shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion, through all generations. Alleluia.
R. Praise the Lord, my soul!
Reading 2
1 T M 6:11- 16
But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion,
faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for
the faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were
called when you made the noble confession in the
presence of many witnesses. I charge you before God,
who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus,
who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble
confession, to keep the commandment without stain or
reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ
that the blessed and only ruler will make manifest at
the proper time, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
LK 16:19-31
Jesus said to the Pharisees: “There was a rich
man who dressed in purple garments and fine
linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying
at his door was a poor man named Lazarus,
covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten
his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's
table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.
When the poor man died, he was carried away by
angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man
also died and was buried, and from the
netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised
his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at
his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have
pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his
finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am
suffering torment in these flames.' Abraham
replied, ‘My child, remember that you received
what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus
likewise received what was bad; but now he is
comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is
established to prevent anyone from crossing who
might wish to go from our side to yours or from
your side to ours.’ He said, ‘Then I beg you,
father, send him to my father’s house, for I have
five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they
too come to this place of torment.' But Abraham
replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let
them listen to them.’ He said, ‘Oh no, father
Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to
them, they will repent.’ Then Abraham said, ‘If
they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded if someone should
rise from the dead.’”

WORD OF LIFE
“TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN GIVEN”
(Luke 16, 27-31)
The parable of the rich man and the poor Lazarus may
be especially useful to those who say that if they do
not see a miracle they will not convert. In the Gospel
parable they are given the answer that they deserve: “If
they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they
won’t do it even if they resurrect someone dead”. In
reality, life is continually giving us occasions to
convert and to be grateful. The answer to the “word of
life” for this week will consist precisely in examining
these revelations of the love of God to take advantage
of what has already been given us and, from there, fill
our hearts with gratitude. We will do it establishing
what would happen if we didn’t have the health that
we have, although this isn’t full. Or what would we do
if we weren’t in the economic situation that we are in,
or if our friends stopped loving us, or if our family
members died, or if our family wasn’t a happy home.
It is possible that one or another of the aforementioned
things is missing for us and that the pain and even the
bitterness are ruining our lives. We must then
remember that perhaps something that we are now
missing, at one time we had, and that there are many
other things for which we can be grateful to God and
our fellowman. If we don’t give thanks for what we
have been given, what right do we have to complain
about what we don’t have? Won’t our complaints,
lacking in gratitude, be what invites who has given us
all to take away what remains, since we value it so
little that we complain?
Intention: Examine the reasons for thankfulness, beginning
with love of God, and be conscious through our behavior
with the gratitude owed the Lord and our fellowman.
OUR FAITH
COMPENDIUM OF THE CATECHISM OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
27. What does it mean in practice for a person
to believe in God? It means to adhere to God
himself, entrusting oneself to him and giving assent to
all the truths which God has revealed because God is
Truth. It means to believe in one God in three Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
28. What are the characteristics of faith? Faith
is the supernatural virtue which is necessary for
salvation. It is a free gift of God and is accessible to all
who humbly seek it. The act of faith is a human act, that
is, an act of the intellect of a person - prompted by the
will moved by God - who freely assents to divine truth.
Faith is also certain because it is founded on the Word
of God; it works “through charity” (Galatians 5:6); and
it continually grows through listening to the Word of
God and through prayer. It is, even now, a foretaste of
the joys of heaven.
29. Why is there no contradiction between
faith and science? Though faith is above reason,
there can never be a contradiction between faith and
science because both originate in God. It is God
himself who gives to us the light both of reason and of
faith
A Brief Catechism for Catholic Voters
Is it morally permissible to vote for all candidates
of a single party?
This would depend on the positions held by the
candidates of a single party. If anyone or more of them
advocated positions that were opposed to the natural
moral law, then it would not be morally permissible to
vote for all candidates of this one party. Your correctly
informed conscience transcends the bounds of any
one political party.

STATEMENT OF ARCHBISHOP CHARLES J.
CHAPUT, O.F.M. CAP
REGARDING VIOLENCE OVER THE PAST
WEEKEND
“Combine easy access to guns with a culture that
breeds resentment, self-focus, personal license and
contempt for human life and the law, and what you get
is what happened over the past weekend: the terrible
shootings of innocent people by Nicholas Glenn and
others. Taking away the guns – making them far more
difficult to acquire – is the easy part, but it doesn’t begin
to address the deeper moral and social dysfunctions of
American urban life. Violence begins in the heart
before the hand picks up a weapon. Violence is now
part of the American Way from womb to tomb, and it
should surprise no one when it hits home locally.
I ask Catholics across the archdiocese to pray in the
coming days for the victims of the weekend shootings
and their families, and for leaders who can bring
genuine peace to our community.”

CONOZCAMOS NUESTRA FE.
COMPENDIO DEL CATECISMO
22. ¿Qué importancia tiene el Nuevo Testamento
para los cristianos?
El Nuevo Testamento, cuyo centro es Jesucristo, nos
transmite la verdad definitiva de la Revelación divina.
En él, los cuatro Evangelios de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas
y Juan, siendo el principal testimonio de la vida y
doctrina de Jesús, constituyen el corazón de todas las
Escrituras y ocupan un puesto único en la Iglesia.
23. ¿Qué unidad existe entre el Antiguo y el Nuevo
Testamento?
La Escritura es una porque es única la Palabra de
Dios, único el proyecto salvífico de Dios y única la
inspiración divina de ambos Testamentos. El Antiguo
Testamento prepara el Nuevo, mientras que éste da
cumplimiento al Antiguo: ambos se iluminan
recíprocamente.
24. ¿Qué función tiene la Sagrada Escritura en la
vida de la Iglesia?
La Sagrada Escritura proporciona apoyo y vigor a la
vida de la Iglesia. Para sus hijos, es firmeza de la fe,
alimento y manantial de vida espiritual. Es el alma de
la teología y de la predicación pastoral. Dice el
Salmista: «lámpara es tu palabra para mis pasos, luz
en mi sendero» (Sal 119, 105). Por esto la Iglesia
exhorta a la lectura frecuente de la Sagrada Escritura,
pues «desconocer la Escritura es desconocer a
Cristo» (San Jerónimo).
XXVI Domingo Ordinario
Primera Lectura
Am 6, 1. 4-7
Esto dice el Señor todopoderoso: "¡Ay de ustedes, los
que se sienten seguros en Sión y los que ponen su
confianza en el monte sagrado de Samaria! Se
reclinan sobre divanes adornados con marfil, se
recuestan sobre almohadones para comer los
corderos del rebaño y las terneras en engorda.
Canturrean al son del arpa, creyendo cantar como
David. Se atiborran de vino, se ponen los perfumes
más costosos, pero no se preocupan por las
desgracias de sus hermanos. Por eso irán al destierro
a la cabeza de los cautivos y se acabará la orgía de
los disolutos".

Salmo Responsorial
145, 7. 8-9a. 9bc-10
R. Alabemos al Señor, que viene a salvarnos.
El Señor siempre es fiel a su palabra, y es quien hace
justicia al oprimido; él proporciona pan a los
hambrientos y libera al cautivo. R/
Abre el Señor los ojos de los ciegos y alivia al
agobiado. Ama el Señor al hombre justo y toma al
forastero a su cuidado. R/
A la viuda y al huérfano sustenta y trastorna los
planes del inicuo. Reina el Señor eternamente, reina
tu Dios, oh Sión, reina por siglos. R/
Segunda lectura
1 Tm 6, 11-16
Hermano: Tú, como hombre de Dios, lleva una vida de
rectitud, piedad, fe, amor, paciencia y mansedumbre.
Lucha en el noble combate de la fe, conquista la vida
eterna a la que has sido llamado y de la que hiciste tan
admirable profesión ante numerosos testigos. Ahora,
en presencia de Dios, que da vida a todas las cosas, y
de Cristo Jesús, que dio tan admirable testimonio ante
Poncio Pilato, te ordeno que cumplas fiel e
irreprochablemente, todo lo mandado, hasta la venida
de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, la cual dará a conocer a
su debido tiempo Dios, el bienaventurado y único
soberano, rey de los reyes y Señor de los señores, el
único que posee la inmortalidad, el que habita en una
luz inaccesible y a quien ningún hombre ha visto ni
puede ver. A él todo honor y poder para siempre.
Evangelio
Lucas 16:19-31
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los fariseos: "Había
un hombre rico, que se vestía de púrpura y telas
finas y banqueteaba espléndidamente cada día.
Y un mendigo, llamado Lázaro, yacía a la entrada
de su casa, cubierto de llagas y ansiando llenarse
con las sobras que caían de la mesa del rico. Y
hasta los perros se acercaban a lamerle las
llagas. Sucedió, pues, que murió el mendigo y los
ángeles lo llevaron al seno de Abraham. Murió
también el rico y lo enterraron. Estaba éste en el
lugar de castigo, en medio de tormentos, cuando
levantó los ojos y vio a lo lejos a Abraham y a
Lázaro junto a él. Entonces gritó: 'Padre
Abraham, ten piedad de mí. Manda a Lázaro que
moje en agua la punta de su dedo y me refresque
la lengua, porque me torturan estas llamas'. Pero
Abraham le contestó: 'Hijo, recuerda que en tu
vida recibiste bienes y Lázaro, en cambio, males.
Por eso él goza ahora de consuelo, mientras que
tú sufres tormentos. Además, entre ustedes y
nosotros se abre un abismo inmenso, que nadie
puede cruzar, ni hacia allá ni hacia acá'. El rico
insistió: 'Te ruego, entonces, padre Abraham,
que mandes a Lázaro a mi casa, pues me
quedan allá cinco hermanos, para que les
advierta y no acaben también ellos en este lugar
de tormentos'. Abraham le dijo: 'Tienen a Moisés
y a los profetas; que los escuchen'. Pero el rico
replicó: 'No, padre Abraham. Si un muerto va a
decírselo, entonces sí se arrepentirán'. Abraham
repuso: 'Si no escuchan a Moisés y a los
profetas, no harán caso, ni aunque resucite un
muerto'".
PALABRA DE VIDA
La parábola del rico Epulón y del pobre Lázaro puede
ser especialmente útil para aquellos que dicen que si
no ven un milagro no se convierten. En la parábola
evangélica se les da la respuesta que merecen: “Si no
escuchan a Moisés y a los profetas, no harán caso ni
aunque resucite un muerto”. En realidad, la vida nos
está dando continuas ocasiones para la conversión y
para la gratitud. La propuesta de la “palabra de vida”
de esta semana va a consistir precisamente en
examinar esas manifestaciones del amor de Dios para
aprovechar lo que ya nos han dado y, desde ahí, llenar
nuestro corazón de gratitud. Lo haremos
planteándonos qué ocurriría si no tuviéramos la salud
que tenemos, aunque ésta no sea plena. O qué
haríamos si no estuviéramos en la situación económica
en que nos hallamos, o si nos dejaran de querer
nuestros amigos, o fallecieran nuestros familiares, o
nuestra familia no fuera un hogar feliz. Es posible que
alguna de las cosas citadas, u otras, nos falte y que el
dolor e incluso la amargura nos esté arruinando la vida.
Debemos recordar entonces que quizá algo de lo que
ahora nos falta algún día lo hemos tenido y, además,
que hay otras muchas cosas por las que sí podemos
agradecer a Dios y al prójimo. Si no damos gracias por
lo que nos han dado, ¿qué derecho tenemos a
quejarnos por lo que no tenemos? ¿No serán nuestras
quejas, carentes de gratitud, las que inviten a aquel que
nos lo ha dado todo a quitarnos lo que nos queda, pues
lo valoramos tan poco que no lo agradecemos?
Propósito: Examinar los motivos de agradecimiento,
empezando por el amor de Dios, y ser consecuentes a través
de nuestro comportamiento con la gratitud debida al Señor y
al prójimo.
