(Carta en español en la página 5) “Say Yes and Go Out” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

We can really relate to God when he repeats the people’s blame and accusations at him for not

being fair. In moments of suffering or injustice, it’s easy to pass judgment and blame it all on God.

It’s especially difficult when innocent and good people (ourselves included) suffer. We’re tempted

to ask, “Aren’t you supposed to treat your friends better?”

We only need to look at Marco Palmezzano’s painting Christ Bearing the Cross to reconsider our

complaints. How have we treated God?

Jesus was and is the most innocent of souls; no other being was or is as good as Jesus. No one

was asked to suffer like him, and he suffered not to gain for himself but to pay our debt. Relating

it to today’s Gospel lesson, Jesus is the son who, when asked to work in his Father’s vineyard,

promptly said “yes” and went. Always obedient, always docile, always loving.

Watching Jesus, we hear the echo of St. Paul’s letter. Jesus humbly regarded his brothers and

sisters as more than himself and was willing to go to the cross and win them back for the Father.

Keep in mind, those siblings had destroyed family unity, squandered away their inheritance, sold

their birthright, sold him into slavery with their sin, and very often refused his love. Yet “God

proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

God knows his merciful justice well and can kindly and provokingly ask in Ezekiel 18:25, “Is it my

way that is unfair? Are not your ways unfair?”

No one was asked to suffer like Jesus, and he suffered

not to gain for himself but to pay our debt.

In an effort to be prepared in case of an emergency, we are creating a food pantry to help people in our community during emergencies. We ask that you support the parish and donate any of the following items to grow our food pantry ef-forts. • Bottled water

• Powdered milk • Shelf Stable Milk • Canned soups

• Canned vegetables • Canned fruit • Canned tuna

• Canned tomatoes • Dried fruits

• Granola bars

• Cereal • Nuts • Crackers

• Peanut butter • Jellies and jams • Pancake mix

• Syrup • Vegetable oil • Rice

• Lentils • Dried beans • Dried pasta

• Noodles • Oats • Trail mix

• Beef Jerky • Personal hygiene items • First aid kits

• Batteries

• Can Openers and Kitchen Tools • Candles and Matches • Blankets Thanks to all who have responded the call to help. Many people have been assisted. We hope to keep helping more families.

(Letter in English on page 3)

“Digan Si Y Salgan” Por Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

Realmente podemos relacionarnos con Dios cuando repite la culpa y las acusaciones de la gente

por no ser justo. En momentos de sufrimiento o injusticia, es fácil juzgar y culpar a Dios de todo.

Es especialmente difícil cuando sufren personas inocentes y buenas (incluidos nosotros). Estamos

tentados a preguntar: "¿No se supone que debes tratar mejor a tus amigos?"

Basta con mirar el cuadro de Marco Palmezzano Cristo con la cruz para reconsiderar nuestras

quejas. ¿Cómo hemos tratado a Dios?

Jesús fue y es la más inocente de las almas; ningún otro ser fue o es tan bueno como Jesús. A

nadie se le pidió que sufriera como él, y él sufrió no para ganar para sí mismo, sino para pagar

nuestra deuda. En relación con la lección del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús es el hijo que, cuando se le

pidió que trabajara en la viña de su Padre, prontamente dijo "sí" y se fue. Siempre obediente,

siempre dócil, siempre amorosa.

Al mirar a Jesús, escuchamos el eco de la carta de San Pablo. Jesús consideraba humildemente a

sus hermanos y hermanas como algo más que a sí mismo y estaba dispuesto a ir a la cruz y

recuperarlos para el Padre. Tenga en cuenta que esos hermanos habían destruido la unidad

familiar, desperdiciado su herencia, vendido su primogenitura, vendido a él como esclavo con su

pecado y muy a menudo rechazado su amor. Sin embargo, “Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros

en que cuando aún éramos pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros” (Romanos 5: 8).

Dios conoce bien su justicia misericordiosa y puede preguntar con bondad y provocación en

Ezequiel 18:25: “¿Es mi camino el que es injusto? ¿No son injustos tus caminos?”

A nadie se le pidió que sufriera como Jesús, y él no sufrió para ganar para sí mismo,

sino para pagar nuestra deuda.

En un esfuerzo por estar prepara-dos en caso de una emergencia, estamos creando una despensa de alimentos para ayudar a las perso-nas en nuestra comunidad durante emergencias. Le pedimos que apoye a la parro-quia y que done cualquiera de los siguientes artículos para aumentar nuestros esfuerzos de despensa de alimentos. • Agua embotellada • Leche en polvo

• Leche de conservación larga • Sopas enlatadas • Vegetales enlatados

• Fruta enlatada • Atún enlatado

• Tomates enlatados

• Frutas secas • Barras de granola • Cereal

• Nueces • Galletas • Mantequilla de maní

• Jaleas y mermeladas • Mezcla para panqueques • Jarabe

• Aceite vegetal • Arroz • Lentejas

• Frijoles secos • Pasta seca • Fideos

• Avena • Mezcla de frutos secos • Carne seca

• Artículos de higiene personal

• Botiquines de primeros auxilios • Baterías • Abrelatas y utensilios de cocina

• Velas y fósforos • Cobijas
