Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Seeking Wisdom
Buscando la Sabiduría
Today’s readings and prayers remind us to ask God for
the gift of wisdom so that we may discern our response
to his Word. The reading from the Book of Wisdom
directs us to this supplication, “I prayed, and prudence
was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came
to me.” This Old Testament voice says nothing compares to wisdom because “all good things together
came to me in her company. “ This voice understands
the entreaty in the responsorial psalm that we must ask
God “to make us glad for the day when you afflicted us,
for the years when we saw evil.” This wise understanding of how God’s grace works in our lives contrasts with
the voice of the man in the gospel. He approaches Jesus saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit
eternal life?” The man acknowledges that he has kept
the commandments that Jesus enumerates. Jesus invites him saying, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, and
sell what you have, and give to the poor; then come,
follow me.” At this moment the man becomes sad and
leaves. Saint James’ letter to the Hebrews explains
what has occurred. “The word of God is sharper than
any two-edged sword penetrating even between soul
and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” The man’s inability to
surrender his worldly stability and power has been
“exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render
an account.” This is also our
challenge. God calls us through
his Word and we must discern
our response. We pray, “May
your grace, O Lord, at all times
go before us and follow after
and make us always determined
to carry out good works through
Christ our Lord” (Collect).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos recuerdan que
debemos pedirle a Dios el don de la sabiduría, para poder discernir nuestra respuesta a su Palabra. La lectura
del libro de la Sabiduría nos dirige a esta suplica,
“Supliqué y se me concedió la prudencia, invoqué y vino
sobe mí el espíritu de sabiduría.” Esta voz del Antiguo
Testamento nos dice que nada se compara a la sabiduría porque todo lo bueno viene en su compañía. Esta
voz entiende lo que debemos pedirle a Dios y decimos
en el Salmo Responsorial, “Danos alegría, por los días
en que nos afligiste, por los años en que sufrimos desdichas.” Este sabio entendimiento de como la gracia de
Dios trabaja en nuestras vidas es un contraste con la
voz del hombre en el Evangelio. Se le acerca a Jesús y
le dice, “Maestro bueno, ¿Qué debo hacer para alcanzar
la vida eterna?” El hombre confirma haber obedecido
los mandamientos que Jesús le enumera. Jesús lo invita al decirle, “Solo una cosa te falta: ve y vende lo que
tienes, da el dinero a los pobres y así tendrás un tesoro
en los cielos. Después, ven y sígueme.” En este momento el hombre se entristece y se va. En la carta de
santo Santiago a los Hebreos se nos explica lo que ocurrió. “La palabra de Dios es viva, eficaz y más penetrante que una espada de dos filos. Lega hasta lo más íntimo del alma, hasta la medula de los huesos y descubre
los pensamientos e intenciones del corazón.” La habilidad de este hombre de entregar toda su estabilidad
material y su poder han sido puestos “al descubierto
ante los ojos de aquel a quien debemos rendir cuentas.” Este es nuestro reto. Dios nos llama por medio
de su Palabra y debemos discernir nuestra respuesta. Oramos en la Oración Colecta, “Te pedimos, Señor, que tu gracia nos inspire y acompañe siempre
para que podamos descubrirte en todos y amarte y
servirte en cada uno. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo.”

RCIA – Right of Christian Initiation of Adults
I lived most of my life as an atheist. I once
believed that because I went to school and
took science classes, I already knew everything about how the world and the universe
works. Who needs religion right? Well a
few years ago I married my wonderful wife who's Catholic. So I thought I would get in her good side and go to
church with her every week. So there I was sitting at the
back of the church and thinking wow what a nice group of
people. My wife then exclaimed "wow did you hear the
choir? I have to go sing with them!" So, thinking I would
really get some major points, I joined the choir with
Religious Education
her! Our amazing choir was so loving and welcoming
even though I wasn't Catholic! I left Mass every week
with such a wonderful feeling! Then my wife and I joined

Did you Know?
When secrets become dangerous
There is no better time of year to review
the important family rules that help to
keep all children safe. It takes just a
few moments to review with your children what to do in an emergency, who the special and
safe adults in their life are, and the importance of not
keeping secrets. Some secrets, like a gift for a special
occasion, can be fun and safe to keep. Secrets that hurt
others, involve any kind of unsafe or inappropriate touching or anything that bothers a child – are secrets that are
NOT safe to keep. Help your child understand the difference. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Back to School:
Secrets,” email: [email protected].

seguridad de los niños. Tome sólo unos pocos minutos
para repasar con sus hijos qué hacer durante una
emergencia, quiénes son los adultos especiales en su
vida con quienes están seguros, y la importancia de no
mantener secretos. Algunos secretos, como un regalo
para una ocasión especial, pueden ser divertidos y
seguros de mantener. Secretos que hacen daño a otros,
que implica contacto físico inapropiado, o cualquier cosa
que molesta a un niño, son secretos que NO son seguros
de mantener. Ayuda a su hijo a entender la diferencia.

Concert for Vocations
On September17th, a young man, Marvin Avella, was accepted into the Capuchin Franciscan Order. Marvin had a
large debt; however, due to the generosity of the Laboure
Society that raises money to clear these debts, young
men and women like Marvin, are able to pursue their
dream of a religious life. St. John Baptist de la Salle Parish would like to support the goals of the Laboure Society.
A wonderful concert is planned for Sunday, October 18th
at 4:00 p.m. Fr. Peter Banks, OFM, Cap, Director of Vocations for the Capuchins will be a special guest. There is
no charge but donations will be gratefully appreciated.
