Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Striving to be “doers of the word”
Esforzándonos por Practicar la Palabra
Today’s readings and prayers remind us how to live
holy lives. Saint James explains in his epistle that we
must, “Be doers of the word and not hearers only. Religion that is pure and undefiled is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself
unstained by the world.” Saint James’ words inspire us
to the corporal works of mercy which outline examples
of how we can be “doers of the word.” He reminds us
that our ability to live in this manner comes down from
the “Father of Lights.” The Old Testament reading relates that Moses understood that God was the source of
all goodness when he, Moses, instructed the Israelites,
“in your observance of the commandments of the Lord
« you shall not add to what I command you nor subtract from it.” Moses warned the Israelites to avoid the
misdirected focus that the Pharisees held many years
later, when Jesus reminded them of Isaiah’s prophecy,
“This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts
are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching
as doctrines human precepts.” In the gospel the Pharisees challenged Jesus about the rituals that had been
practiced over time. They had forgotten the essence of
God’s commandments. Jesus wanted the people to
understand that human traditions are
not God’s laws. When challenged on
the ritual of washing, he told them,
“Nothing that enters one from outside
can defile that person; but the things
that come out from within are what defile.” When our motivations and intentions are focused on the Lord as we
strive to live the two great commandments, we live justly in His presence
(Responsorial Psalm).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos hablan de cómo
vivir una vida santa. Santo Santiago nos explica en su
epístola que la Palabra hay que “llevarla a la práctica y
no se limiten a escucharla, engañándonos a nosotros
mismos. La religión pura e intachable a los ojos de Dios
Padre es ésta: visitar huérfanos y viudas en sus tribulaciones y no mancharse las manos con este mundo.” Las
palabras de santo Santiago nos invitan a llevar a cabo
las obras corporales de misericordia, nos da ejemplos
de cómo practicar la Palabra en este mundo. Nos recuerda que nuestra habilidad de vivir de esta manera
viene del “Padre de la Luz.” La lectura del Antiguo Testamente relata cómo Moisés entendía que Dios era la
fuente de todo lo bueno cuando el, Moisés, ordena a los
Israelitas, “No añadan nada a lo que les mando ni supriman nada; así cumplirán los preceptos del Señor, su
Dios,” Moisés les advierte a los Israelitas que mantengan el enfoque, años después los Fariseos pierden este
enfoque y Jesús les recuerda la profecía de Isaías,
“Este pueblo me honra con los labios, pero su corazón
está lejos de mí. El culto que me dan está vacío, porque
la doctrina que enseñan son preceptos humanos.” En el
Evangelio los Fariseos retan a Jesús, refiriéndose a los
rituales que se han practicado por mucho tiempo. Se les olvida la esencia de los mandamientos de Dios. Jesús quiere que el pueblo entienda que las tradiciones humanas no son las leyes
de Dios. Cuando lo retan por el ritual de la limpieza, él les dice, “Nada que entre de fuera puede hacer al hombre impuro; lo que sale de dentro es lo que hace impuro al hombre.” En el Salmo responsorial preguntamos, “Señor, ¿quién
puede hospedarse en tu tienda?” y El contesta,
“El que no hace mal a su prójimo ni difama al
vecino.”

medio de la adoración, la reconciliación, la sanación, la formación, la educación y el servicio. Por medio de
la Palabra y la Eucaristía, buscamos la sabiduría y la guía del Espíritu Santo, abrazando el amor de nuestro
creador en cada pensamiento, palabra y acción. Como humildes servidores de Dios, nos mantenemos fieles

La mayoría de las escuelas tienen un plan
sólido de emergencia y a los niños se les enseñan cómo
reaccionar en estas situaciones. Sin embargo, la
temporada cuando los niños regresan a la escuela es una
oportunidad para revisar los procedimientos de seguridad
de su propio hogar. Enseñe a sus hijos qué hacer si hay
un incendio o un terremoto, y muéstrales cómo llamar al
