A
reflection on
the Gospel for
the Fourth
Sunday in
Ordinary
Time
|
|
What was
it about Christ
that made him
so different
from the
official
teachers of his
day, the
scribes? It was
the fact that
he taught with
personal
authority. No
scribe ever
expressed an
opinion of his
own. He would
always begin by
quoting his
authority. He
would buttress
his statement
with quotations
from the great
legal masters
of the past.
The last thing
he would ever
do was give an
independent
judgement. How
different Jesus
was! When he
spoke, he spoke
as if he needed
no authority
beyond himself.
He cited no
authorities and
quoted no
experts. He
spoke with the
finality of the
voice of God.
For the people,
to hear someone
speak like
that, was like
a cool breeze
from the ocean
on a hot
stifling
day.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
Cuarto domingo
del tiempo
Ordinario
|
|
¿Qué
era lo que
tenía
Cristo que lo
hacia diferente
a los maestros
oficiales de su
tiempo, los
escribas? Era
el hecho de que
él
enseñaba
con autoridad
personal.
Ningún
escriba
expresó
alguna vez una
opinión
propia. Ellos
empezaban
siempre citando
su autoridad.
Reforzaban su
declaración
con citas de
los grandes
maestros
legales del
pasado. La
última
cosa que ellos
harían
era hacer un
juicio
independiente.
¡Qué
diferente era
Jesús!
Cuando
él
habla, hablaba
como si no
necesitara
autoridad
aparte de la
suya propia. El
no citaba
autoridades o
expertos.
Hablaba con la
finalidad de la
voz de Dios.
Para la gente,
escuchar a
alguien hablar
así, era
como una brisa
fresca del
océano
en un
día
sofocante de
calor.

Ordinary
Time
The
period between the seasons of Advent &
Lent is called the Ordinary Time. It
begins on the Monday after the Baptism of
the Lord until Ash Wednesday. It resumes
after Lent and continues until Advent.
Though this period does not have a
liturgical high point like Christmas and
Easter there are things that we can do,
aside from attending daily mass, praying
the rosary and regular confessions, to
make the Ordinary Time a little less
ordinary.
Here
are three suggestions that I picked up
from Our Sunday Visitor. Keep a gratitude
journal. Everyday jot down things you are
grateful for. They need not be intense;
“a smile from a stranger” would
suffice. Second, act out. Put faith into
action. Give away those stuffs that you no
longer use. Volunteer in the church.
Third, read something inspiring. A few
books I have read which I recommend are:
“Three Cups of Tea” by Greg
Mortenson; “The Kite Runner”
& “A Thousand Splendid Suns”
by Khaled Hosseini, “. “Called
out of Darkness” story of return to
the faith by Anne Rice; and;
“Becoming Who You Are,” by James
Martin, SJ. Lastly, here’s a funny
story I read in the parish bulletin of St.
Philomena Church in Carson where I went to
Sunday mass with my brother while I was on
Christmas break last week.
A man
suffered a serious cardiac arrest and had
an emergency open heart surgery. He
awakened to find himself in the care of
nuns at a Catholic hospital. As he was
recovering, a nun asked him questions
regarding how he was going to settle his
hospital bills. She asked if he had a
health insurance. He replied, “No
health insurance.” The nun asked if
he had money in the bank. “No money
in the bank,” was the reply. The nun
asked, “Do you have a relative who
can help you?” He said, “I only
have a spinster sister who is a nun.”
The nun became indignant and loudly
protested, “Nuns are not spinsters!
Nuns are married to God!” The patient
replied, “Send the bill to my
brother-in-law.”
Have a pleasant week!
Tiempo
Ordinaio
El
tiempo entre Adviento y Cuaresma se llama
Tiempo Ordinario. Comienza el lunes
despues de el Bautizo de nuestro
Señor hasta el miercoles de ceniza.
Y resume despues de la Cuaresma y continua
hasta Adviento. Aunque este periodo no
tiene puntos altos en la liturgia como en
navidad y Cuaresma hay otras cosas que
podemos hacer, aparte de atender a misa
diario, orando el rosario y confesarse
regularmente, para hacer el Tiempo
Ordinario un poco menos ordinario. Aqui
hay tres sugerencias que recibi de Nuestro
Visitante del Domingo. Mantenga un diario
de agradecimiento. Todos los dias escriba
de lo que esta agradecido. No necesitan
ser intenso; “ una sonrisa de un
extranjero” seria suficiente.
Segundo, actuar. Ponga fe en la accion.
Regale las cosas que no necesita. Se
voluntario en us parroquia. Tercero, lea
algo que lo inspire. Unos libros que yo he
leido y que recomiendo “Tres tazas de
te” por Greg Mortenson; “El
coredor de Papalotes” y “ Mil
espledidos soles” por Khaled
Hosseini, “Llamado de la
oscuridad” una historia de regreso a
la fe por Anne Rice; y “Covertirte
quien tu eres” por James Martin,SJ.
Por ultimo hay una historia comica que lei
en el boletin de Santa Philomena en Carson
donde fui a misa con mi hermano cuando
estuve en mi descanso de Navidad la semana
pasada. Un hombre sufrio un ataque
cardiaco y tuvo una operacion de
emergencia de corazon. Disperto y vio que
era atendido por monjas Catolicas en un
hospital. Al recuperarse, la monja le
pregunto como hiba para la cuenta del
hospital. Ella le pregunto si tenia
aseguranza. El le respondio “no tengo
aseguranza” La monja le pregunto si
tenia dinero en el banco. “No tengo
dinero en el banco” el le contesto.
La monja le pregunto “tiene algun
familiar que le pueda ayudar?” el
dijo, “nomas tengo una hermana que es
una pobre monja”. La monja se molesto
y le protesto muy fuertemente “las
monjas no somos pobres! Las monjas estan
casadas con Dios! El paciente le respondio
“mandele la cuenta ha mi
cuñado!”
Que tengan una buena
semana!
