PRAYER AND REFLECTION July 31, 2016 18th Sunday on Ordinary Time

Today’s countercultural message about possessions isn’t new, but it has special meaning for us in a society focused on consumerism. How do we tame our own wants and those of our children? How do we reconcile our role in our nation’s economic success, our membership in a capitalist society, and our concerns about financial security with the warnings we hear today? Paul tells us to be ruthlessly honest in discerning whether we have taken off our old selves and put on our new selves in Christ.

Let us pray for ourselves, for our neighbors, and for the whole world as we struggle with possessions and greed.

For the church that is called to live simply and guard against storing up treasure ... we pray, For peace where conflict, violence or war are rooted in the possession of land ... we pray, For those who have too much and are reluctant to share what they have with others ... we pray, For families torn apart by disagreement about goods or inheritances ... we pray, For those struggling to provide legitimate financial security for themselves and their families ... we pray, For those who are conflicted about work or careers focused on consumerism or dubious financial dealings ... we pray, For those who will never have too much, who barely have enough for survival ... we pray, For those among us who are sick or dying; and for those who have died ... we pray,

Prayer: God who guides us, you challenge us to question our priorities and values, especially when we are caught up in the mechanics of daily living. You encourage us to keep focused on what it means to live in Christ and not be diverted by the easy distractions of the world around us. Help us to be rich in all that matters to you. We ask this in the name of your beloved Son, Jesus. Amen.


O tesouro do Céu!

18º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Ecle 1,2; 2,21-23; Sl 90(89); Col 3,1-5.9-11; Lucas 12,13-21

O Evangelho que a Igreja hoje nos propõe vem muito a calhar nestes nossos dias, pois vivemos numa sociedade para qual os bens materiais — o dinheiro, sobretudo — se tornaram a coisa mais importante, a única fonte de uma "felicidade" que parece inalcançável. Associamos o sucesso, o "bem-estar", a alegria a até mesmo a paz à posse de riquezas, a uma condição de estabilidade e relativa comodidade fi-nanceira. Não é de espantar, pois, que uma crise econômica deixe tantos corações

inquietos, quase à beira do desespero. E, apesar de tudo, Deus nos dirige palavras que tanto admoestam quanto con-fortam a alma: "Tomai cuidado contra todo o tipo de ganância", isto é, contra a sanha de querer guardar e acumular coisas, "porque [...] a vida de um homem não consiste na abundância de bens." Cristo nos indica neste passo que a verdadeira vida é a vida da alma, feita para a alegria e os gozos do Céu, onde Deus será, definitivamente, nosso mais rico e inesgotável tesouro.

A perícope do rico insensato guarda, porém, algo de curioso e que nos desperta para a natureza algo misteriosa do pecado da ganância. Os demais pecados, como a gula e a luxúria, nos inclinam a desejar desordenadamente bens que são, de fato, necessários à vida individual e social: afinal, todos temos de comer e nos reproduzir; o problema está, de modo geral, no excesso a que somos levados. A avareza, por outro lado, parece manter-se sob um véu: ela não nos sinaliza com clareza a razão de querermos simplesmente acumular coisas. Ora, São Máximo Confessor ensina que podemos querer ter bens por três motivos principais: por prazer, por vaidade, ou (o que é pior) por falta de fé. Se comprar prazeres ou glórias mundanas já é ruim, querer as coisas para depositar nelas a nossa esperança é tornar-se pobre diante de Deus, é construir a casa sobre a areia das veleidades de um mundo corroído pela traça e repleto de ladrões. "Louco!", diz o Senhor ao avarento insensato, "Ainda nesta noite, pedirão de volta a tua vida."

Jesus nos convida hoje a darmos o passo confiante da fé, e de uma fé firme, pela qual nos abandonamos inteiros às mãos de Deus, aos desígnios de sua Providência. É apenas nele, nesta Rocha de salvação, que devemos construir a nossa casa; é em Deus que temos de depositar toda a nossa confiança, e não numa conta corrente polpuda. A felicid-ade, o mundo não a pode oferecer a ninguém, pois ela só existe no Céu, que não pode ser comprado, mas apenas conquistado por aqueles que se fazem ricos aos olhos de Deus e investem todas as suas fichas num projeto de san-tidade e amor.

The Pilot is an important voice in the public square that brings you the Catholic perspective on current events.

Inspired by the vision of our publisher, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, The Pilot covers it all — from in-depth reporting on Pope Francis to the good works of Boston parishes.

Each week, The Pilot brings you the stories of Boston Catholics who bring the Works of Mercy to life on a daily basis.

Proclaiming the present Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said he wants to make it evident that the Church’s mission is to be a witness of compassion. “Let us not forget that God forgives and God forgives always,” Pope Francis said. “Let us never tire of asking for forgiveness.”
