GOD’S HEALING JUSTICE
An old expression holds that the sun-warmed
stone heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only
dark, sunless days are in store for those who do not
find a place for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells
us that the warmth and light of God’s healing justice
await those who fear the Lord. That’s a pretty comforting notion—especially now in the already short
and growing even shorter days of November. It’s the
sun-warmed stone, and then some.
Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out
that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we
need to do our fair share. If we are diligent and persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our
labor. Lastly, Luke, too, tells us to persevere—in
faith, this time—and our lives will be secure in God
regardless of how we are treated by our enemies.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With Thanksgiving approaching, we think of the
quest of the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower
from their first exile in Leyden, Holland. Like the
Catholics of England, they were religious dissenters
who suffered penalties for not participating in the worship life of the established church. The Catholics established monasteries, schools, and convents on the
continent to assure the vigor of their faith’s intellectual and spiritual life. The Puritans fled to the tolerant
Netherlands with similar hopes of preserving their
way of life, but were unable to adapt to Dutch ways.
There were Catholics who made a similar colonial
journey. The hero of the story is George Calvert, Lord
Baltimore, the former Secretary of State of Britain and
a Catholic. He proposed that King Charles I establish
a proprietary colony that he would own and rule,
named Maryland in honor of the Catholic Queen Henrietta Maria. George Calvert died unexpectedly in the
midst of this project, but his son Cecil faithfully carried out his father’s wishes. Maryland became a symbol of freedom for wealthy recusant English families,
as well as for the poor who held to the Catholic faith
despite great hardship. From the start, the colony was
open to Protestants and Catholics equally, and the
seeds of the religious freedom so dear to the American
spirit were sown with the first colonists in 1634.

BIBLE TRUTH

—Oliver Wendell Holmes
Trigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
LA JUSTICIA SANADORA DE DIOS
Una antigua expresión sostiene que las piedras
calentadas por el sol curan. Tal vez. Pero el profeta
Malaquías explica que a aquellos que no encuentran
un lugar para Dios en sus vidas sólo le esperan días
oscuros, sin sol. El profeta nos dice que, a la inversa,
el afecto y la luz de la justicia sanadora de Dios
aguardan a aquellos que temen al Señor. Esa es una
noción bastante consoladora –especialmente ahora
durante los días breves, cada vez más breves, de noviembre. Es la piedra calentada por el sol, y mucho
más.
Pablo, igualmente, nos habla de justicia pero señala que esta no es algo pasivo. Para ser tratados con
justicia, debemos aportar nuestra parte. Si somos diligentes y perseveramos, seremos recompensados
con y por los frutos de nuestra labor. Finalmente,
Lucas también nos llama a perseverar –en la fe, esta
vez– y nos dice que nuestras vidas estarán aseguradas en Dios no importa cómo nos traten nuestros
enemigos.

de justicia con sus rayos de salud (Malaquías 3:19-20a).

21:5-19).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección de fray
Junípero Serra alzaron una cruz en Alta California,
dedicando la primera misión en la zona a san Diego
de Alcalá. Diego, cuya fiesta es el 13 de noviembre,
fue un franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo español
nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo servir a Dios como
hermano lego (laico) ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los enfermos.
Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los demás.
Aun cuando lo hicieron guardián (líder franciscano)
nunca dejo de servir a los pobres, los enfermos y a
sus hermanos franciscanos. Su afán por dar a los pobres las cosas del convento lo llevaba a esconder sus
donaciones en su manto. Una vez un hermano le preguntó que escondía y el mintiendo respondió:
“rosas”. El hermano insistió verlas y en lugar de la
comida que llevaba a los pobres, aparecieron rosas y
más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San Diego, California se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1) solidaridad con
los más necesitados, 2) devoción a Cristo crucificado
y 3) evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia.
