Today, Ezekiel sees God lifting up the lowly tree and making the withered tree bloom. So in the second parable of today’s Gospel, Jesus encourages us by promising that, as fragile seeds grow into an abundant harvest, and the tiny mustard seed into a hearty plant, so God will grow the kingdom from small beginnings to an instrument of salvation for all. In the first parable, the land yields fruit “of its own accord” (Mark 4:28). Not only is the initiative God’s, but the parable teaches that the seed’s growth, though invisible at first, is actually unstoppable! To be sure, those who depend on the impressive or dramatic in order to be convinced or encouraged will be disappointed in the slow unfolding of the kingdom that Jesus announces. But for those who do accept the kingdom, all is grace, and that grace is certain. Though the second reading is not coordinated with either the first reading or Gospel on these Sundays, today’s is thematically appropriate. Saint Paul argues that our experience of God’s trustworthiness thus far should make us a people of undaunted courage and unshakeable faith. But at the same time Paul warns that faith should also make us aware of our responsibility to do good. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Li kòmanse pa yon ti grenn ki tou piti epi li grandi wo ase pou zwazo vin fè nich nan branch li. Jezi di ke rèy Bondye a se konsa li ye, se menm bagay la tou pou disip yo ak sila a yo ki responsab pèp Bondye a. Nou kòmanse ak lafwa ki pi piti a nan Bondye, epi li grandi spirityèlman nan lapriyè, sakreman, ak edikasyon relijye, ki ede nou viv ak mwens lakrent e mwens egoyis. Itilizasyon tan lib nou, konpetans, ak finans nou vin gen yon lòt sans. Moun ki pami nou ki te pran angajman pou tounen disip di nou yo vin pi jenere, kè yo ouvri. Plis yo bay plis yo anvi bay. Toutotan yo sispann sere sa yo posede, se tank yo beni – li pa yon solisyon a tout pwoblem, oswa richès toudenkou, men se yon rankont pwofon nan prezans Bondye ak yon vrè lapè nan kè nou. Si ou poko angaje w nan yon fason pou bay lavi ou, poukisa ou pa kòmanse kounye a? Kòmanse tou piti, men pran angajman an epi pèsevere ladan l. Bay lòt moun yon pati nan tan lib ou. Ofri ladrès ou nan pawas ou oswa yon òganizasyon charite oubyen yon pwogram kominotè. Kontribue yon ti kòb nan pawas ou regilyèman, epi fè yon don lè Bondye beni w ak yon ti diplis. Viv lavi w an disip, Bondye ap mache avèk ou epi l ap ede w nan tout demach wap fè.

Hoy Ezequiel ve a Dios elevar los árboles pequeños y florecer los árboles secos. Y en las parábolas del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos anima poniendo como ejemplos el fruto abundante que puede dar una semilla y que la semilla tan pequeña de mostaza crece y se convierte en uno de los arbustos más grandes, y así es Dios quien hace crecer el Reino de un pequeño comienzo a un instrumento de salvación para todos. En la primera parábola la tierra por sí sola produce el fruto (Marcos 4:28). Además de la iniciativa de Dios, la parábola enseña que el crecimiento de la semilla, al principio invisible, no se puede detener. Para estar seguros, las personas que dependen de lo que impresiona o llama fuertemente la atención para estar convencidas o animadas pues van a estar decepcionadas en lo despacio que se hace realidad el reino que Jesús anunció. Pero para quienes aceptan el reino, todo es gracia y la gracia es verdadera. Aún cuando la segunda lectura no se relaciona ni con la primera ni con el Evangelio durante estos domingos; hay que considerar el mensaje que tiene la de hoy. San Pablo afirma que en nuestro camino de fe confiamos en Dios y esto debe hacernos un pueblo de valor indomable y fe inquebrantable. Y al mismo tiempo Pablo nos advierte que la fe también debe hacernos consientes de nuestra responsabilidad de hacer el bien.Copyright (c) J.S.

Ser padre es una vocación que no se limita a ciertos roles o tareas y su presencia en el matrimonio y la familia es de vital importancia. La Escritura nos dice que Dios lo creó para ser cabeza de la mujer, así como Cristo es cabeza de la Iglesia (Efesios 5:23). Pero este concepto bíblico, expresado en términos de las condiciones sociales y religiosas en los primeros años de la Iglesia, tiende a ser malentendido en nuestra cultura actual, incluso al punto de decir que el hombre manda y a justificar acciones de dominio u opresión hacia la esposa y los hijos/as. Recordemos que por nuestro bautismo ya no se hace diferencia entre hombre y mujer, pues todos somos uno solo en Cristo Jesús. (Gálatas 3:28). Entonces pues, tanto el hombre como la mujer desde su condición, tienen un lugar primordial en la iglesia doméstica, de la cual Cristo es la cabeza y ellos sus discípulos. Las demandas de la sociedad de hoy exigen que tanto hombres como mujeres compartan en pareja las tareas y roles antes considerados exclusivamente masculinos o femeninos. Pero esta realidad actual no resta de modo alguno la integridad de la identidad de cada quien, más bien enriquece la experiencia de vida familiar, a la cual cada uno aporta valiosos dones desde su masculinidad y feminidad. Ejemplo perfecto de esta complementariedad son Maria y Jose, quienes dan testimonio de vida y protección a nuestro mismísimo Salvador, en el ambiente sano y amoroso de la Sagrada Familia. El hombre que verdaderamente vive según el plan de Dios es aquel liderado por Cristo y, que a imitación suya, se deja guiar por el Espíritu Santo. La palabra “padre” se deriva del término en latín “pater” que significa defensor, protector, sustentador, maestro y padre espiritual. Por lo tanto, un buen padre y esposo es aquel que vive su vocación como defensor, protector, sustentador, maestro, formador -en la fe y las buenas costumbres- y colaborador en su iglesia doméstica, con amor, justicia y misericordia. Celebramos en este mes a todos los padres que han recibido con aplomo, valentía y compromiso este encargo divino. Padres y esposos que se han ganado el respeto y la admiración de los suyos, no con gritos, golpes, ni imposiciones arbitrarias, sino con integridad, rectitud, ecuanimidad y dominio propio. Damos gracias a Dios por aquellos que con su amor y ejemplo fomentan un hogar feliz, como lo hizo el buen San José.
