PREPARATION
Imagine the following scene: you sit down at your school desk. The
teacher puts a test paper on your desk. You set your watch. You will
have exactly one hour to do the test. You turn the paper over. Then it
hits you: never studied or did even one assignment. For a student,
lack of preparation is the nightmare of nightmares.
Jesus talks about the need for preparation in today’s Gospel. God is
pleased to give us the kingdom, Jesus says. “Gird your loins and light
your lamps.” See that you are prepared.
Jesus’ teaching reminds us of the question once posed to St. Francis
de Sales and his companions. “What would you do if you knew the
end of the world was coming in one hour?” The friends of Francis
shared various plottings of how they would get their affairs in order.
Most mentioned prayer. Francis shrugged, “I would continue doing
what I am doing.” Are you ready to meet the Lord?
PREPARACIÓN
Imagínate la siguiente escena: estás sentado en tu pupitre en la
escuela. La maestra camina por el pasillo, y coloca el examen delante de ti, volteado hacia abajo. Preparas tu reloj. Tienes exactamente
una hora para completar ese examen. Volteas el papel. Y entonces
te das cuenta: nunca tomaste apuntes. Nunca estudiaste ni hiciste
tareas. Para un estudiante, la falta de preparación es la pesadilla de
pesadillas.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de la necesidad de prepararse.
Dios estará encantado de darnos el reino, dice Jesús. “con la túnica
puesta y las lámparas encendidas.” Prepárate.
Las enseñanzas de Jesús nos recuerdan la pregunta que una vez le
hicieron a san Francisco de Sales y sus compañeros, que, de acuerdo a la historia, estaban jugando billar. “¿Qué harían si les dijeran
que el fin del mundo llegará en una hora?” Los amigos de san Francisco empezaron a conjeturar sobre cómo pondrían sus asuntos en
orden. Casi todos mencionaron la oración. Francisco se encogió de
hombros: “Yo seguiría haciendo lo mismo que hago ahora.” ¿Estás
tú listo para encontrarte con el Señor?

SOUND OF SILENCE
Jennifer went on her first retreat. Exhausted from looking after young
children and her ailing mother-in-law, she counted on some rest! She
hadn’t counted on the silence of the retreat weekend, and uneasiness began to rise in her. She was used to constant noise. By midafternoon Jennifer was panicking and ready to leave. She shared her
distress with the retreat director. “What are you running from, Jennifer?” he asked quietly. Jennifer blurted out, “God!” She startled
herself, realizing there was no quiet for God’s voice in her life. Jennifer relaxed into the silence. At the end of the retreat she listened
carefully to the stories of Elijah, who heard God in a tiny breeze, and
Peter, who let wind and waves distract him so that he sank in the
water. Jennifer made two changes in her life. The TV was only turned
on for certain programs, and she made time simply to be alone with
God in weekly Eucharistic Adoration.
MURMULLOS EN EL SILENCIO
Juanita fue a su primer retiro. Venía agotada de cuidar a sus hijos y
a su suegra enferma, ¡así es que necesitaba el descanso! No
habiendo contado con el silencio del retiro durante todo el fin de
semana se empezó a sentir incómoda, pues estaba acostumbrada a
un ruido constante. Para el mediodía Juanita estaba aterrorizada y
lista para irse. Compartió su angustia con el director del retiro, quien
le preguntó calmadamente: "¿De que tratas de huir, Juanita?"
Juanita dijo de pronto: "¡de Dios!" Ella se sobresaltó al oírse a sí
misma y caer en cuenta de que no había tranquilidad en su vida para
oír la voz de Dios. Juanita se dejó relajar en el silencio. Hacia el final
del retiro escuchó atentamente las historias de Elías, que oyó la voz
de Dios en una suave brisa, y de Pedro, que dejó que el viento y las
olas lo distrajeran y se hundió en el agua. Juanita hizo dos cambios
en su vida. La tele sólo se encendía para ciertos programas y
además empezó a dedicar un tiempo para estar a solas con Dios
todas las semanas en la adoración eucarística.

Possibilities
All things are possible for one who believes, more to one who
hopes, even more to one who loves. - St. Lawrence
Living Stewardship Now
Make room for a silent time and place in your life for God to speak
to your heart. Start slowly--say fifteen minutes twice a week, then
increase to fifteen minutes once a day. Let nothing else intrude on
this special time.
Pray for Our Parish Family Who are Sick
Pray that God’s healing power will fill them with
strength and hope. To add a name, please call the
