Ephesians is the great Pauline letter about the church. It deals, however, not so much with a congregation in the city of Ephesus in Asia Minor as with the worldwide church, the head of which is Christ. Sundays where this reading appears are sometimes called “Elbow Sunday,” in reference to various spouses elbowing each other. Let us look for a deeper understanding…Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is his treatise on the Church, so it is fitting that even in speaking about marital relationships he utilizes the analogy of Christ’s relationship with his bride, the Church. The opening line sets the tone, for there Paul calls for the mutual submission of one to another. All that follows must be heard in that context – none is greater than the other, for all are members of Christ’s body, the Church. No real or imagined notion of superiority has a place within the Christian community. Women are called to submit to their husbands in the same life-affirming way that the Church submits to Christ. The subordination of the Church to Christ never demeans its members, but results always in the affirmation of our innate dignity. Paul spends far more time tutoring husbands who bear the great responsibility of loving their wives as Christ loves his Church. Such love is never self-indulgent, but always self-sacrificing, for Christ gave his life for the Church. That willingness to extend oneself for the love of the other is the model of spousal love Paul gleans from Christ. But Paul goes even further: a man’s love for his wife must at least equal his love of himself; he must nourish and cherish her as he nourishes himself and as Christ nourishes the Church. Finally, Paul alludes to Genesis, reminding us that man and woman become “one flesh” in marriage – a great mystery that somehow expresses the relationship between Christ and his bride.

Twenty - First Sunday in Ordinary Time “In today’s first reading, Joshua challenges the people to decide whom they will serve. Recalling God’s faithfulness to them and to their ancestors, the people declare, “We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.” May we, too, be mindful of God’s gifts to us and renew our commitment to serve Him with grateful hearts.” See Joshua 24:18 Enséñame tus tiempos, hazme amar tus silencios, que comprenda día a día que los que en verdad se aman solo hablan con el silencio. Sé mi consejero, hoy, aquí... en este silencio para que no me aturdan los días, ni muera de frío creyendo que no estás conmigo. Vigésimo Primer Domingo en el Tiempo Ordinario “En la primera lectura de hoy, Josué desafía a la gente para que decida a quién va a servir. Al recordar la fidelidad de Dios para con ellos y sus ancestros, la gente declara, “Por eso, nosotros también serviremos a Yavé: Él es nuestro Dios.” Que nosotros, también, estemos atentos a los regalos de Dios a nosotros y renovemos nuestro compromiso de servirle a Él con corazones a gradecidos.” Ver Josué 24:18 Ven Amigo, abrázame con prisa pues de frío y dolor mi alma te necesita. Arrúllame con ternura melodía de paz... que aunque será silencio, mi corazón la entenderá pues habla de Amor, que es eterno.
