Living God’s Word
We ask for the discernment to recognize
when God is working in unexpected ways
through unexpected people who do unexpected things . . . and for the wisdom to
distinguish the wise from the wacky,
much less the wicked. And we pray both
that we never let ourselves fall from
grace or lead another away from God.

Compassion~ One Act at a Time
By Cynthia Reyes
The woman sat outside near the entrance of a well-known restaurant visited by many tourists in the city of San
Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. She had a “rebozo” wrapped around her, with her palms extended; she outstretched her hands to anyone who passed her. She was like Lazarus in today’s gospel, begging for
scraps or money, some kind of help in order to survive her meager existence. She was not young. Her weathered hands
and wrinkled face read as a road map to a hard life. Who knew her story? I just knew she needed help.
How many times have we encountered the poor at our doorstep, at MacDonald’s, at the entrances of off-ramps,
or even outside our church premises? These days, we don’t have to look far to find the poor. They exist in our neighborhoods, and even in our families. There is always an opportunity to help those who are less fortunate than us.
Luke’s gospel reminds us that indifference and complacency has consequences. [Luke 16:19-31] When our
bellies are full, do we think of those who have no food, and do we do something about it? Self-indulgence and selfserving does not bring about the Kingdom here on Earth. And for that matter, it won’t bring us to God’s Kingdom.
What is God telling us today? How can I make a difference in this world before it’s too late? Perhaps it’s one kind act
of compassion at a time without judgment.
Compasión- Un Acto a La Vez
Por Cynthia Reyes
La mujer se sentó afuera cerca de la entrada de un restaurante bien conocido y visitado por muchos turistas en
la ciudad de San Miguel de Allende en el estado de Guanajuato, México. Un rebozo le envolvía alrededor de ella, con
sus palmas ampliadas; ella extendía sus manos a cualquier persona que la pasaba. Ella era como Lázaro en el evangelio
de hoy, pidiendo las sobras o limosna, una cierta clase de ayuda para sobrevivir en su pobre existencia. Ella no era joven. Ella, hacerse de rogar, con las manos y su cara arrugada leída como mapa de un camino de una vida dura. ¿Quién
sabía su historia? Solamente sabia que ella necesitaba ayuda.
¿Cuántas veces hemos encontrado los pobres en nuestro pasos, en MacDonald’s, en las entradas de las calles, o
aún, el exterior de nuestra iglesia? Actualmente, no tenemos que mirar lejos para encontrar a los pobres. Existen en
nuestras vecindades, e incluso en nuestras familias. Hay siempre una oportunidad de ayudar a los que sean menos afortunados que nosotros.
El evangelio de San Lucas nos recuerda que la indiferencia y la satisfacción personal tiene consecuencias.
¿Cuándo nuestros vientres son llenos, pensamos en los que tengan hambre y hacemos algo sobre él? El egoísmo y el
interesado no construye el reino aquí en la tierra. Y para esa razón, no nos traerá al Reino de Dios. ¿Qué nos dice Dios
hoy entre las lecturas? ¿Cómo puedo cambiar en este mundo antes de que sea demasiado tarde? Quizás es un acto
bueno de la compasión a la vez sin el juicio.

DID YOU KNOW? Bystander engagement is critical to combat child abuse Ther e ar e far too many cases in
which a child is too scared to report abuse, and the adults around him or her do not understand the signs of abuse or
too afraid to speak up. Bystanders have more power than they know, especially when it comes to reporting abuse and
protecting children. Young adults don’t always have the opportunity or the courage to speak up for themselves, and
the adults around them have a duty to help out when they can. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Bystander Engagement Primary Prevention of a Different Sort,” email [email protected] or call 213-637-7227.
SABIA USTED? El involucramiento de testigos es importante para combatir el abuso infantil Hay demasiados
casos en los que un niño esta tan asustado/a para reportar abuso, y los adultos a su alrededor no entienden las señales
de abuso o tienen mucho temor de hablar. Los espectadores tienen mas poder de lo que ellos mismos creen. Especialmente cuando se trata de reportar abuso y proteger a los niños. Los adultos jóvenes no siempre tienen la oportunidad o
la valentía hablar por si mismos, y los adultos a su alrededor tienen la obligación de ayudar cuando puedan. Para una
copia del articulo de VIRTUS® “Bystanders Engagement– Primary Prevention of a Diffrent Sort” (Involucramiento
de espectadores, prevención primaria de distinto tipo) envie un correo electrónico a [email protected] o
