Reflections on the Readings
All of us owe allegiance to different groups: families,
local churches, civic groups, governments and so forth.
These various involvements force us to define priorities
and then give appropriate attention to each. Loyalties
must be held in reasonable tension. The reality of
loyalty is the focus of our passages this weekend.
Cyrus the Great, King of Persia, was about to conquer
Babylonia and so claim the allegiance of Israel’s exiles.
Second Isaiah speaks of this pagan king as anointed
one. He shows that by grasping Cyrus’s hand, God
recognized him as the legitimate ruler of God’s people.
But there is a balance in this loyalty: Yahweh is
overlord and Cyrus is servant; Yahweh is the only God.
“I am the LORD, and there is no other” (vs. 6).
The Pharisees and Herodians plan to foil Jesus, not to
seek truth. They address Jesus as teacher ( a title
Matthew has nonbelievers in Jesus use), but they do
not intend to become his disciples. Jesus does not
enter into an analysis of the percentages of loyalty due
to God and Caesar. Rather, he acknowledges loyalty to
both. The embarrassed questioners are taught that
loyalties must be balanced.
Today’s liturgy suggests that the believer must assess
the loyalty due to family and career. If family concerns
cease to be important and the job absorbs most of
one’s energy, then the moment has arrived to
reprioritize values and loyalties. The same is true in
one’s spiritual relationship: If there is no time for prayer
and worship, then loyalties are out of balance.
Just a reminder… The next
session for the Family-Centered
Faith Formation is on Sunday
November 2, 2014. We will have
breakout sessions for parents/
guardians and children in grades
Pre-K thru 8. High School students
in grades 9 thru 12 are
encouraged to work as volunteers
assisting the facilitators or attend
the adult session. Please arrive by
9:20am and proceed directly to the designated
classrooms. The session is from 9:30am to 10:45am.

Domingo XXIX Tiempo Ordinario
Quisieron que Jesús cayera en una trampa, y le
hicieron una pregunta comprometida.
BAUTISMOS
Y Jesús que nunca sale por la tangente sino que
siempre dice la verdad, y en este caso sorprendió
por una contestación muy sencilla y a la vez muy
profunda. Lo que hace el Señor es no entrar al
trapo, no se pone al nivel del que quiere
sorprenderle, sino que Jesús resuelve las
cuestiones por elevación. Los problemas se
resuelven casi siempre así, por elevación. No
enredarse, ni dramatizar sino ir a lo importante. Sin
enfrascarse con las personas. Nunca atacar a las
personas, sino. combatir las ideas que pensemos
que estén desenfocadas.
Pues uno de los enemigos de Jesús le preguntó
para cazarle en una respuesta impopular. Le dijo
que si habría que habría que pagar el impuesto al
Cesar. El Cesar era muy mal visto en Palestina,
pues se trataba del gobernante extranjero que les
había invadido por la fuerza. El Señor le contesta:
«Dad al Cesar lo que es del Cesar y a Dios lo que
es de Dios»
“Den a Dios lo que es de Dios”. Aquí es donde se
sitúa el mensaje de Jesús, en Dios su Padre.
Jesús no vino a dirimir pleitos ni a ser el juez de
los negocios humanos, vino a hacernos partícipes
del negocio de Dios, la vida divina. Y Jesús nos
pregunta hoy, ¿quién lleva la imagen de Dios?
¿Quién fue hecho a imagen de Dios? Nosotros,
todo ser humano es imagen de Dios. ¿Ha caído en
la cuenta de que usted lleva grabada la imagen de
Dios y que ha sido creado a su imagen y
semejanza? Y la inscripción en torno a esa imagen
dice; “Tú eres mi hijo, te quiero”. Nosotros todos
somos imagen de Dios, no somos imagen de
ningún César. “Den a Dios lo que es de Dios”.
Los bautismos son el día 1 de
Noviembre y el día 6 de
Diciembre a las 3:30 de la tarde.
La plática para Diciembre es el
día 30 de Noviembre. Después
de la misa de las 9:30 de la
mañana.
VISITA DEL OBISPO DE CIUDAD ALTAMIRANO
El Obispo Maximino Martínez Miranda, junto con el
Padre Pablo, director del Cursillo de Cristiandad y el
sacerdote José Salazar vendrán hacer una visita a todos
los mexicanos de San Brendan, el día 20 de Octubre,
lunes. El obispo celebrara la Santa Misa a las 6:30 de la
tarde, y después tendremos una recepción de
bienvenida en el salón San Brendan. Todos están
invitados.
GRACIAS A LOS QUE AYUDARON EN EL FESTIVAL
ITALIANO
Un millón de gracias a todas las personas que ayudaron
con sillas, mesas, trayendo y llevando la comida,
fregando, etc, etc. Fue un día bonito y lleno de
hermandad donde todos en la iglesia cooperaron con la
ayuda para que el festival fuera un éxito.
AVISO MUY IMPORTANTE PARA LAS FAMILIAS CON
NINOS
Todas las familias con niños que asisten a las clases de
Formación en la Fe, Primera Comunión, y Confirmación,
así como los jóvenes voluntarios con la ayuda en las
clases, recibirán el regalo de los Reyes Magos el día 4
de Enero, domingo. Es muy importante que todas las
familias que tienen niños menores de 4 años llenen la
forma que se les va a dar y la depositen en la caja que
estará preparada a la ENTRADA, ENCIMA DEL
MOSTRADOR, para que así podamos preparar los
regalos de los pequeños menores de 4 años. Es nuestro
interés en la parroquia, que todos los niños reciban su
regalo el día de Reyes.
