Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

(Readings: Wisdom 6:12-16 — 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 — Matthew 25:1-13 ) Seat of Wisdom — Confucius says: By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. The foolish

virgins of the parable suffered the bitter consequences of experience. Parents and teachers try to help children avoid just such situations. Ideally, youth will learn to reflect before they act. That is the goal of Wisdom, personified in the first reading. Wisdom is described as resplendent; and “she makes her own

rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them.” How can I read these words without thinking of the Beautiful Lady? One of the titles in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin is: Seat of Wisdom. Explanations differ, as does the iconography. Essentially, however, we are to understand that Jesus in his humanity learned some of his wisdom from his mother, who in turn acquired hers as she “kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart” (Luke 2:19). The refrain of the Responsorial Psalm, “My soul is

thirsting for you, O Lord my God,” is similar to a wise concept that is popular today, namely that there is in each of us a God-shaped hole that only God can fill. As long as it remains empty, we thirst. St. Paul

addresses the question of death so that the Thessalonians will not be unaware of the hope that is theirs. If we see that in the light of Jesus’ words, “Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour,” we encounter the deeper wisdom of the parable. At La Salette, Mary comes not to impart knowledge, but

wisdom, which is deeper, richer, more meaningful. She wants her people to learn from painful experience. She shows them what is happening (“I warned you last year with the potatoes. You paid no heed.”) She also shows what might be (“If they are converted…”), and hints at the wisdom contained in the Church’s

rhythm of prayer: daily (evening and morning), weekly (Mass), annually (Lent). She wants us to “pay heed,” to imitate her, reflecting on all these things in our heart.

Reflexión…. Sede de la Sabiduría (Trigésimo segundo domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: Sabiduría 6:12-16; 1 Tesalonicenses 4:13-18; Mateo 25:1-13) Confucio dice: Hay tres métodos para aprender la sabiduría: Primero, por reflexión, que es la forma más noble. Segundo, por imitación, que es la forma más fácil. Tercero, por experiencia, que es la forma más amarga. Las vírgenes necias de la parábola tuvieron que sufrir las amargas con-secuencias que les trajo la experiencia. Los padres y los profesores tratan de ayudar a los niños a evitar dichas situaciones. Idealmente, la juventud aprendería a reflexionar antes de actuar. Esa en la meta de la Sabiduría, personificada en la primera lectura. La Sabiduría es descrita como resplandeciente; y “ella misma se da a conocer a los que la desean, ella misma va de un lado a otro buscando los que la merecen”. ¿Cómo puedo yo leer estas palabras sin pensar en la Bella Señora? Uno de los títulos en las letanías de la Santísima Virgen es: Sede de la Sabiduría. Las explica-ciones difieren como también lo hace la iconografía. Esencialmente, sin embargo, tenemos que en-tender que Jesús en su humanidad aprendió un poco de sabiduría de su madre, la cual a su vez adquirió la suya al “guardar todas esas cosas, meditándolas en su corazón” (Lucas 2: 19) El refrán del Salmo Responsorial, “Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mío” es similar a un concepto sabio que es popular hoy, a saber que hay en cada uno de nosotros un lugar hecho para Dios y que solamente Dios puede llevarlo. Mientras ese lugar permanezca vacio, estaremos sedi-entos. San Pablo hace referencia al tema de la muerte para que los tesalonicenses no ignoren la esperan-za que les es propia. Si vemos aquello a la luz de las palabras de Jesús, “permanezcan despiertos porque no saben ni el día ni la hora”, encontraremos la más profunda sabiduría de la parábola. En La Salette, María no viene a impartir conocimientos, sino sabiduría, que el algo más profundo, más rico, más significativo. Ella quieres que su pueblo aprenda desde la experiencia del dolor. Ella les muestra lo que está pasando (“se los advertí el año pasado con respecto a las papas. Ustedes no hicieron caso” Ella también muestra los que podría suceder (“si se convierten…”) y alude a la sabiduría contenida en el ritmo de las oraciones de la Iglesia (tarde y mañana), semanalmente (la Misa) anualmente (la Cuaresma). Ella quieres que “estemos atentos” para imitarla, reflexionando todas estas cosas en nuestro cora-zón.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1682 unos negociantes encontraron una caja abandonada en una playa al sur de El Salvador. Como no pudieron abrirla decidieron llevársela al pueblito de San Miguel para conseguir con qué abrirla. Montaron la caja en un burrito y comenza-ron su camino. Al pasar por la iglesia parroquial, el burrito se sentó y la caja se abrió revelando una bella imagen de la Virgen. En aquel entonces el pueblo de El Salvador estaba divido por la guerra pero con la llegada de esta imagen milagrosa el pueblo buscó reconciliarse. En 1833 hubo otra guerra en El Salvador y los que salieron victoriosos prometieron a María no vengarse en contra de los perdedores. Por estos hechos se le concedió a la imagen el nombre Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Su imagen de madera tallada y vestida lleva una palma en la mano recordando un milagro donde por la intercesión de la Virgen de la Paz, Dios salvó al pueblo de la explosión de un volcán. La palma recuerda que el humo que salía del volcán formaba una palma en el cielo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

¡Sea un mentor. Cambia una vida! Caridades Católicas de la Florida Central y su Programa de Servicios para Jóvenes Refugia-dos está buscando adultos para servir como mentores para niños refugiados. Muchos de los niños que atendemos han sufrido violencia traumática, pérdida de familiares y amigos, guerra y vida en un campo de refugiados. Necesitan su ayuda. Los mentores ayudan a nuestros jóvenes con: aprender inglés, entender las asignaciones de tareas y dar sentido a una nueva cultura. Pero sobre todo, los mentores son un amigo que cuida y un modelo positivo. Requisitos del mentor: Debe tener por lo menos 18 años de edad, participar en el entrena-miento de mentores y entrenamiento en el ambiente seguro, la verificación de antecedentes y comprometerse a ser voluntario por lo menos tres horas por semana.
