ST. JAMES, GEORGETOWN
Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
November 11, 2007
In response to an attempt to ridicule his teaching about life after death, Jesus
again proclaims “resurrection from the dead” (Luke 20:27-38 [27, 34-38]) that
life is indeed stronger than death itself (2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14). This is our
only eternal consolation and final hope (2 Thessalonians 2:16 — 3:5). It is only
then that our joy will be truly fulfilled (Psalm 17).
All of us have wondered, at some time or another, what heaven might be like,
what might await us beyond the “gates of death,” or even if there is anything there at
all. Today’s Gospel reminds us, however, that our God is a God of the living and not a
God of the dead, that there is an eternal life which is expressed in our belief in the
Resurrection. In the last sentence of the Creed we pray, “We look for the Resurrection
of the dead and the life of the world to come.” We believe that Christ has gone before
us through the “gates of death” and where he has gone, one day we all hope to follow.
As regards what heaven might be like, our human minds are too limited to understand. St. Paul says, “Eye has not seen or ear heard, nor has it entered into the mind
of man what God has prepared for those who love him.” To believe in a heaven, to
accept that there is an after death experience, to believe in a Resurrection, should all
show itself in how we live out our lives now. This would mean that we respect human life and other people. Anything that disregards or diminishes human life is an
affront to God who creates all life and has offered himself in sacrifice for us and has
won eternal life for all his followers. We believe in the God who made us for life and
to live life to the fullest. We were not made to bring an assault on life.
Fr. John Cantwell
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

God Bless,
Pete Chavez, Grand Knight

TrigesimosegundoDomingo del Tiempo Ordinario
11 de noviembre de 2007
En respuesta a un ensayo de poner en ridículo su enseñanza sobre la vida
después de la muerte, Jesús proclama otra vez una resurrección de los muertos
(Lucas 20:27-38 [27, 34-38]), que la vida es mas fuerte que la muerte (2
Macabeos 7:1-2, 9-14). Esto es nuestro unico consuelo eterno y esperanza final
(2 Tesalonicenses 2:16 — 3:5). Esta solamente después de eso que nuestra
alegría será realizada verdaderamente.
Todos nos hemos preguntado, una vez u otra, como será el cielo, que nos
espera más allá de “las puertas de la muerte,” o si hay cualquier cosa ahí. El
evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que nuestro Dios es un Dios de los vivos no un
Dios de muertos, que hay una vida eterna lo cual esta expresado en nuestra
creencia en la resurrección. En la ultima frase del Credo oramos, “Creo…en la
resurrección de la carne y la vida eterna.” Creemos que Cristo ha ido antes de
nosotros por “las puertas de la muerte” y donde El ha ido todos esperamos
seguir.
Respeto a como puede ser el cielo, nuestras mentes humanas son demasiado
limitados para comprenderlo. San Paolo dice, “Ni ojo vio, ni oído oyó, ni por
mente humana han pasado las cosas que Dios ha preparado para los que lo
aman.” Creer en el cielo, aceptar que hay una experiencia después de la vida,
creer en la resurrección, estas creencias se muestran en la manera en que
vivimos nuestras vidas de hoy. Eso significa que respetamos la vida humana y
otras personas. Cualquier cosa que muestra indiferencia hacia o disminuya la
vida humana es una afrenta a Dios quien crea todo la vida y se ofrecio como
sacrificio para nosotros y gano la vida eterna para sus seguidores. Creyendo en
el Dios que nos hizo para vivir debe hacernos arrepentir cualquier asalto contra
la vida.
Padre John Cantwell
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Los siete hermanos y
la madre de ellos se someten a la tortura y
a la muerte más bien que violar la ley de
Dios (2 Macabeos 7:1-2, 9-14).
Salmo — Al despertar, Señor, contemplaré
tu rostro (Salmo 17(16)).
Segunda lectura — Que el Señor y Dios
nuestro Padre los anime y fortalezca en
todos las obras y palabras buenas (2 Tesalonicenses 2:16 — 3:5).
Evangelio — Aquellos que son dignos de
llegar a la edad futura y a la resurrección
de los muertos son hijos del Dios de los
vivos (Lucas 20:27-38) [27, 34-38].

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección
de Fray Junípero Serra alzaron una cruz en
Alta California, dedicando la primera
misión en la zona al santo: Diego de Alcalá.
Diego, cuya fiesta es el 13 de noviembre,
fue un Franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo
Español nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo
servir a Dios como hermano lego (laico)
ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los
enfermos.
Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los
demás. Aun cuando lo hicieron guardián
(líder franciscano) nunca dejo de servir a
los pobres, los enfermos y a sus hermanos
franciscanos. Su afán por dar a los pobres
las cosas del convento lo llevaba a esconder
sus donaciones en su manto. Una vez un
hermano le preguntó que escondía y el
mintiendo respondió: “rosas”. El hermano
insistió verlas y en lugar de la comida que
llevaba a los pobres, aparecieron rosas y
más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San
Diego, CA se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1)
solidaridad con los más necesitados, 2)
devoción a Cristo crucificado y 3)
evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia.
Gracias a todos que ayudaron a limpiar a
los “pews” el sábado 2 de octubre. ¡Se ven
muy bellas!
