All good things together came to me in her company (Wisdom 7:7-11). Psalm — Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy! (Psalm 90). Second Reading — Indeed the word of God is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12-13). Gospel — It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:17-30 [17-27]).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK LOS DISCÍPULOS Y LA RIQUEZA A veces creemos que tener riquezas materiales es algo malo. Nos convencemos a nosotros mismos que los pobres son los más favorecidos. En las lecturas de hoy, descubrimos que las riquezas materiales no son lo único que nos impide ser discípulos. Ya veremos que hay otros dones más importantes que esas riquezas. Pero así todo, lo que más importa es el uso que hacemos de nuestros dones. Las Escrituras de hoy señalan el valor de los dones de la sabiduría, la confianza en Dios y una cualidad que permite que nuestras acciones reflejen el amor de Dios que llevamos en nuestro interior. No es el oro lo que nos hace tropezar, sino el desear el oro por encima de todo lo demás. En las lecturas de la Sabiduría y Hebreos, descubrimos la fuente de los dones de Dios en nuestra vida. La sabiduría vale mucho más que las posesiones materiales. En Hebreos, se nos motiva a examinar nuestros valores y a reconocer con honestidad qué es lo que rige nuestra vida. Copyright © J. S.

As devout and observant as they were, our early fathers and mothers in faith could not have been all that different from us. Maybe they looked the other way when the grocer threw an extra fig in the shopping basket, or had a wandering eye for the widow next door, or had a taste for too much ale, or didn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. First of all, there was the Eucharist. The words are familiar: “This is the cup of my blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sin.” Especially by participating in Communion from the cup, forgiveness was achieved. Eucharist was, and remains, the sacrament of reconciliation par excellence, the sign and source of unity with Christ. LITURGICAL There were other helps along the way: “fraternal” correction, or the course corrections we offer one another in love, prayer, fasting, works of mercy. St. Augustine listed endurance of suffering, forgiveness of insults, and added the praying of the Lord’s Prayer in the liturgy. He felt that the public praying of the Our Father on Sunday and its daily use in private prayer was an essential remedy and the reason why everyone was not a candidate for canonical penance. Inherited from Augustine’s practice, the Lord’s Prayer in our Communion Rite still has the same purpose, preparing us for receiving and becoming the Body of Christ. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. REFLEXIONEMOS SOBRE LA PALABRA DE DIOS Cuando el joven rico en el Evangelio de esta semana le pregunta a Jesús qué debe hacer para alcanzar la vida eterna la respuesta es sencillamente “nada”. O diciéndolo con otras palabras, “No tienes que hacer nada para ganártela; sencillamente no hagas nada que le ponga obstáculos. No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no mientas, no defraudes, ni hagas ninguna otra cosa que tienda a enturbiar el epicentro de nuestra vida”. Parece que no tenemos que hacer más nada que eso. Pero el joven dice que ya él ha evitado todas esas cosas. Y la respuesta que le ofrece Jesús es, en efecto, que tampoco deje que sus riquezas le obstaculicen el camino. Pero del dicho al hecho hay un gran trecho y el hecho es más difícil de lo que podemos imaginar. Más difícil que ensartar una aguja con pelo de camello cuando el pelo todavía está en el camello; más difícil que hacer que el camello entre en tu casa, ya sea por la puertecita de tu mascota o por tu puerta trasera, o ni aun por la puerta de tu cochera. Los camellos no se encojen; ni tampoco nuestro apego a las riquezas. Ambas cosas tienden a obstaculizar el camino. Entonces, ¿qué hacer?, nos preguntamos. Curiosamente ésa era la misma pregunta también en los tiempos de Jesús. Y a través de los siglos los creyentes han buscado las maneras de poner LITURGICAL PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR PARISHIONERS Please call the office to remove your loved one’s name when well. Thank you!

The border marks a divide between the life they once knew, now tragically consumed by the war in the Syria, and an uncertain future as refugees. Despite their exhaustion from the perilous journey from Syria to the edge of Europe, families exude a sense of hopefulness. Pope Francis has called us to be ‘neighbors’ and respond to our brothers and sisters in need. Join Catholic Relief Services as we respond to this crisis.

He’s wonderful.” These were the exact words of Joshua, a Jewish financier, on Wall Street when asked his view of the Pope. “You cannot fault someone for working toward equality,” he noted, saying that the differences between the privileged and those in severe poverty should be examined. Last week, ZENIT decided to see what Wall Streeters had to say about the Pope who has been vocal against capitalistic abuses. Despite what some could speculate, the reaction of the people selected at random to speak between Wall and Broad Streets was overwhelmingly positive. While some said they were just too busy to respond, others were incredibly receptive. Terrence works in marketing on Broad Street. As a Christian, he said, Francis’ words “really speak to me.” “Pope Francis says things for how they are,” he noted, “and I like that.” Terrence also noted how open Francis is to everyone and his attention to the poor is worthy of imitation. An Indian woman who works in finance at Deutsche Bank and asked to remain nameless, expressed that Pope Francis “has rightfully stirred up the mentality of business professionals.” She said, “It is clear to us that he criticizes when people exploit others or use their power in ways that are negative. For those in the business world, who do their work and try their best, we don’t feel offended. As Pope, he is a moral leader and needs to call on everyone to do the right thing and help the needy.” When asked her thoughts about his time in the city, she noted, “It’s a shame he can’t be here longer. We can’t get off from work and it would probably do everyone good to have a chance to listen!” ZENIT came across a man walking very quickly. Marty was an attorney for the Attorney General’s office. When asked his thoughts about Pope Francis, he responded with a beaming smile: “I am a big fan,” he said. DIOCESE & WORLD NEWS THE REMARKABLE SALESMAN Christopher Columbus was the world’s most remarkable salesman. He started out not knowing where he was going. When he arrived, he didn’t know where he was. And when he returned, he didn’t know where he had been. And he did it all on a big cash advance and he received a repeat order. —Anonymous In fact, he shared he was on his way to St. Patrick’s Cathedral to see the Pontiff, just as he had done to see Pope John Paul II when he visited the United States. Elsie, an Indonesian Catholic who works on 90 Broad Street, just down the street from the New York Stock Exchange, noted how Francis speaks about the immigrant, “and I am one.” “He makes me feel welcome and loved,” she said smiling. “Pope Francis really touches the hearts of the people,” she expressed when asked her thoughts about him. She also pointed out how she loves Pope Benedict and had been present at Dunwoodie (St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, NY), in 2008 when Pope Francis was at the youth rally. Debbie, works in government and pointed out, “I am from DC and can say he lit the place on fire.” “After speaking to some of my colleagues after he student planning to pursue corporate law in the financial district. He said he didn’t have thoughts about Pope Francis because he has not had the time. “I only have to get done everything I have to and then see how the Pope’s visit affects my commute.” “However,” he added, “if I had time, I really would like to listen to his words. I think we all would learn something.” Down the street at Our Lady of Victory, the Catholic Church in the heart of the financial district, Catholics were praying for the Holy Father’s visit to their city. On the way out, the faithful shared with ZENIT how blessed they felt to have the Pope in New York and how they always pray for him. New York City, October 1, 2015 (ZENIT.org) Deborah Castellano Lubov | © Innovative Media Inc. The world tells us to seek success, power & money; God tells us to seek humility, service & love. – Pope Francis spoke to Congress, they told me how much people want to enrich their lives and be better overall.” She told us she was in the financial district for business meetings, but noted that she senses the same reaction to the Pope in the city. “People can’t stop talking about him. Francis is refreshing and does right to call those who are unethical or who abuse the system out on their actions,” she said. “I am not Catholic, but he is simply great.” Another person ZENIT spoke to was a law WORLD NEWS 9
