Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 13, 2015

“The Lord God is my help,

therefore I am not disgraced.”

— Isaiah 50:7

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Early in his pontificate, Pope Francis likened the Church to a field hospital. He said, “I can clearly see that what the Church needs today is the ability to heal wounds and warm the hearts of faithful, it needs to be by their side. I see the Church as a field hospital after a battle. It’s pointless to ask a seri-ously injured patient whether his cholesterol or blood sugar levels are high! It’s his wounds that need to be healed. The rest we can talk about later. Now we must think about treating those wounds.” If I might be so bold, I would also add that the Church is not just a field hospital but also a school, a boot camp, a weight loss center, a sanitarium, a bridal chamber, a fine restaurant, and at times, even a psych ward. In short, the Church, like St. Paul, is “all things to all people”. This is why the Church is known as “Catholic”. It’s a Greek word that means “Universal”. It is everywhere in this world where a Christian lives and all are invited to be part of it. When you come to Mass and look around at the other congregants you’ll not find two who are alike. Everybody comes with his or her own gifts, tal-ents, and flaws. And when it comes to flaws, everybody has something. The person next to you might be struggling with an addiction, cancer, self-hatred, pride, habitual sin, etc. Everybody has something with which they struggle at times. It’s part of our fallen human nature. And as glorious as the Church will be in Heaven, on earth it is full of broken people in need of help, support, and above all, love. As bleak as weaknesses of the members of the Church may seem there is great hope in these struggles and crosses. Jesus himself says in the gospel reading today, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.” Carrying our crosses affords us a tremendous opportunity to grow in holiness and sanctity. When we consciously unite them to the cross of Jesus which brought us salvation they can become life-giving. I’ll leave you with this. When coming across a flawed (sometimes broken) brother or sister in Christ don’t give him or her the cold shoulder because they are troublesome or irritating. The sin we can judge but not the sinner. It’s time we heed Jesus’ rebuke of St. Peter and begin to think with the mind of Christ, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” God loves each of us perfectly, intensely, and infinitely. Our task is to do our best to imitate His love. If you know the faults of your neighbor don’t judge, rather be that Simon of Cyrene and help him carry that cross. Tell him of the reason for our hope and help him or her in the work of conversion. Once the eternal life threatening wounds are addressed and start to heal we can work on the little things. Together. Brothers and sisters as God means for us to be.

MASS INTENTIONS

+Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for OUR needs. We pray for them in THEIR needs. We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood. You have consecrated them, set them aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and to feed us with Your Body and Blood. Yet we know, too, that they are one with us and share our human weaknesses. We know too that they are tempted to sin and discour-agement as are we, needing to be ministered to, as do we, to be consoled and forgiven, as do we. Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they under-stand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith. We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits. And let them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic bread. We pray to You, O Lord, through Mary the mother of all priests, for Your priests and for ours. Amen.

Page Five Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 13 de Septiembre de 2015

Al principio de su pontificado, el Papa Francisco comparó la Iglesia a un hospital de campo. El dijo, "Puedo ver claramente que lo que la Iglesia necesita hoy es la capacidad de sanar las heridas y calentar el corazón de los fieles, necesita estar a su lado. Veo a la Iglesia como un hospital de campo después de una batalla. Es inútil preguntarle a un paciente seriamente herido si su colesterol o los niveles de azúcar en la sangre están altos. Son sus heridas las que necesitan ser sanadas. Del resto podemos hablar más adelante. Ahora debemos pensar en el hecho de tratar las heridas." Si pudiera ser un poco atrevido, yo quisiera añadir, además, que la Iglesia no es sólo un hospital de campo también una escuela, un boot camp, un centro de adelgazamiento, un sanatorio, una cámara nupcial, un exce-lente restaurante y, a veces, incluso un manicomio. En resumen, la Iglesia, como San Pablo, es "todo para to-dos". Este es el motivo por el cual la Iglesia es conocida como "Católica". Es una palabra griega que signifi-ca "Universal". Está en todas partes en este mundo donde vive un cristiano y todos están invitados a ser parte de ella. Cuando usted venga a la Misa y mire a su alrededor a los demás creyentes, no encontrará dos que son iguales. Todos vienen con sus propios dones, talentos y defectos. Y cuando se trata de fallas, todo el mundo tiene algo. La persona que está a su lado podría estar luchando con una adicción, cáncer, odio, orgullo, pecado habitual, etc. Todos tiene algo con que a veces luchan. Es parte de nuestra naturaleza humana caída. Y tan glo-riosa como la Iglesia será en el cielo, en la tierra está llena de personas que necesitan ayuda, apoyo y sobre todo, amor. Tan sombrío como las debilidades de los miembros de la Iglesia pueden parecer, hay una gran esperanza en estas luchas y cruces. Jesús mismo nos dice en el evangelio de hoy, "El que quiera venir conmigo, que renun-cie a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz y que me siga. Pues el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá, pero el que pierda su vida por mí y por el Evangelio, la salvará." Cargar con nuestras cruces nos brinda una gran oportuni-dad para crecer en la santidad y santificación. Cuando conscientemente la unimos a la cruz de Jesús, la cual nos trajo salvación pueden convertirse en vida. Los dejo con esto. Cuando se encuentra con un deficiente (a veces quebrado) hermano o hermana en Cristo no le den la espalda porque son problemáticos o irritantes. El pecado lo podemos juzgar pero no al pecador. Es hora de que escuchen la reprensión de Jesús a San Pedro y comienzen a pensar con la mente de Cristo, "Vete de mí, Satanás. Usted está pensando no como Dios, sino como seres humanos." Dios ama a cada uno de noso-tros perfectamente, intensamente, infinitamente. Nuestra tarea es hacer nuestro mejor esfuerzo para imitar Su amor. Si usted conoce las faltas de tu vecino no lo juzgue, más bien sea Simón de Cirene y ayúdele a cargar esa cruz. Díganle la razón de nuestra esperanza, y ayúdele a que él o ella en su obra a la conversión. Una vez que las heridas que amenazan la vida eterna son tratadas y empiezan a sanar, podemos trabajar en las cosas pequeñas. Juntos. Hermanos y hermanas, como Dios desea ser para nosotros.
