PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

“ Woe to the complacent in Zion!... Lying upon beds of ivory… stretched

comfortably on their couches… they drink wine from bowls and anoint them-

selves with the best oils… Now they shall be the first to go into exile and their

wanton revelry shall be done away with…” Amos

The root of all the problems in the world is selfishness. Selfishness destroys all

relationship with others and with God. The joy of life is only found in good rela-

tions with others, with God. Most of the misery in the world could be solved if

we could value the importance of sharing, giving.

The tragedy of a selfish life is seen in the rich man of the Gospel. He lived a life

totally focused on himself, and at his death he found himself in the place of tor-

ment.. He ignored Moses and the prophets, lost his soul, lost the eternal reward

given to those that care for others.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, teach us to care for others, pray for us!

Monsignor Lorenzo Miranda

BOUNDARIES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT

Boundaries are critical, for you and for the chil-

dren in your care. Establishing and maintaining

boundaries helps teach children their im-portance, gives them the tools to establish their

own, and to form appropriate and healthy rela-

tionships with other adults. You can avoid even

a misconception of inappropriate behavior by upholding the boundaries you have established

for yourself, allowing you more freedom to care

for the children in your life.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2019 PAGE 5

Don't delude yourselves, Jesus says through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. We really are supposed to care for others. It is not enough to go to Mass and occa-sionally serve at a parish or outreach function. We cannot remain complacent and consider ourselves followers of Jesus. No matter how much or how little material wealth we have, we always have something to give--our time and attention, care, and, when possible, our money. The way we treat and care for others, especially the poor and vulnerable, is the manner in which we show our love of God. As disciples, we must pursue righteousness, devo-tion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Jesus calls us to see and respond to the least among us, because, as God s children, we are all part of one another. HE MISSED THE POINT The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is a powerful and painful cautionary tale. The Gospel narrative paints a vivid picture. We can imagine the poor man, Lazarus, lying at the door of the rich man. We can see the rich man in our mind s eye, well-dressed and well-fed. The rich man has walked past Lazarus every day but has never really seen him. Even though he knows Lazarus name, he does not matter to the rich man. Lazarus matters to God, however. The rich man did not only fail to care for Laza-rus in life. He expected Lazarus to serve him in the after-life. He is totally focused on himself. Only after he realiz-es the eternal consequences of his failure to care does he think of his brothers. And even then, he expects Lazarus to be his messenger! The rich man missed the point of the commandments and the witness of the prophets, in life and in death. SEE LAZARUS IN OUR MIDST As people of faith, Lazarus must matter to us as well. It is impossible to hear this parable without thinking of the poor and homeless in our cities, on our streets. We may not know them, but they have names. We may not under-stand their circumstances, but they are our brothers and sisters. Jesus life and teaching show us that God s way is the way of love. Jesus sacrificed everything on the cross, and leads us to give beyond what we think we can or should, to pour ourselves out for the sake of others. How much like the rich man are we? We cannot solve all of the issues of poverty and homelessness in our cities, country, and world. But we are called to do something,

No os engañéis, dice Jesús a través de la parábola del hombre rico y Lázaro. Se supone que debemos cuidar de los demás. No es suficiente ir a misa y ocasionalmente servir en una parroquia o función de participación. No podemos seguir siendo compla-cientes y considerarnos seguidores de Jesús. No importa cuánta o la poca riqueza material que tengamos, siempre tenemos algo que dar, nuestro tiempo y atención, cuidado y, cuando sea posi-ble, nuestro dinero. La forma en que tratamos y cuidamos a los demás, especialmente a los pobres y vulnerables, es la manera en que demostramos nuestro amor a Dios. Como discípulos, debemos perseguir la rectitud, la devoción, la fe, el amor, la paciencia y la dulzura. Jesús nos llama a ver y responder a los más pequeños entre nosotros, porque, como hijos de Dios, to-dos somos parte unos de otros. ÉL PASÓ POR ALTO EL PUNTO La parábola del hombre rico y Lázaro es una historia po-derosa y dolorosa de advertencia. La narrativa del Evan-gelio dibuja una imagen vivida. Podemos imaginar al hombre pobre, Lázaro, tirado a la puerta del hombre rico. Podemos ver al rico hombre con nuestra mente, bien ves-tido y bien alimentado. El hombre rico pasa cerca de Lázaro todos los días, pero en realidad nunca lo ha mira-do. Aunque conoce por nombre a Lázaro, no le interesa al hombre rico. Sin embargo, le importa a Dios. El hombre rico no solamente falló en cuidar en vida a Lázaro. Él esperaba que Lázaro le sirviera en la vida del más allá. Él está tan enfocado en sí mismo. Solamente después de que se da cuenta de las consecuencias eternas de su falta de atención, piensa en sus hermanos. E incluso entonces, ¡él espera que Lázaro sea su mensajero! El hombre rico pasó por alto el punto de los mandamientos y el testimonio de los profetas, en la vida y en la muerte. VE A LÁZARO EN MEDIO DE NOSOTROS Como personas de fe, también a nosotros debe importar-nos Lázaro. Es imposible escuchar esta parábola sin pen-sar en los pobres y desamparados, los sin techo en nues-tras ciudades y en nuestras calles. Quizá no los conoz-camos, pero ellos también tienen nombres. Quizá no sepamos sus circunstancias, pero ellos son nuestros her-manos y hermanas. La vida de Jesús y enseñanzas nos muestran que el camino de Dios es el camino del amor. Jesús sacrificó todo en la cruz, y nos guía a dar más allá de lo que pensamos, podemos o debemos, a darnos por el bien de los demás. ¿Qué tan parecidos somos al hombre rico? No podemos resolver todos los problemas de la pobreza y los sin techo en nuestras ciudades, país y el mundo. Pero estamos llamados a hacer algo, a poner atención, a verdaderamente cuidar, a defender la justicia y la imparcialidad, para ver y a amar a la persona de la calle, como persona. Como Lázaro.

COLUMNA DEL PASTOR

Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,

“Ay de ustedes… los que se sienten seguros en Sión… Se reclinan sobre divanes

adornados con marfil… Se atiborran de vino… Se ponen los perfumes más cos-

tosos… Irán al destierro a las cabeza de los cantivos y se acabará la orgia de los

desolutos…” Amós

La raíz de todos los problemas en el mundo es el egoísmo. El egoísmo destroza

toda relación con otros y con Dios. El gozo de la vida solamente se encuentra en

buenas relaciones con otros y con Dios. Se acabaría la miseria en el mundo si

llegáramos a valorar la importancia de compartir.

La tragedia de una vida egoísta se ve en el hombre rico del Evangelio. El vivió una

vida totalmente centrada en sí mismo, y al momento de su muerte se encuntra en

un lugar de tormento. El ignoró a Moisés y a los profetas, perdiendo su alma,

perdiendo la recompensa eterna que se reserva para aquellos que cuidan de

otros.

¡Santa Teres de Calcutta, enseñanos a cuidar de otros, ruega por nosotros!

Monseñor Lorenzo Miranda

LOS LÍMITES SON MUY IMPORTANTES

Los límites son muy importantes, para usted y para los niños que están a su cargo. El estableci-

miento y mantenimiento de límites ayuda a que

los niños entiendan la importancia de los

“límites”, los cuales les otorgan herramientas para establecer los suyos y establecer relaciones

apropiadas y saludables con otros adultos. Usted

puede evitar incluso errores de concepto acerca

de un comportamiento inapropiado, mantenien-do los límites que ha establecido para usted mis-

mo/a y permitiendo más libertad para cuidar a

los niños que están a su alrededor.
