SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
FEBRUARY 19, 2017
Be holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.
— Leviticus 19:2b
DIVINE WISDOM
The Lord’s message, through Moses, was to “take no revenge and cherish no grudge . . . love your
neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). We might think, “Great in theory, but not always realistic!”
Then Jesus in today’s Gospel goes even further. Take a slap in the face and then turn the other cheek?
Treat enemies the same as friends? Again, we’re tempted to think that those are nice ideals, but not very
practical in the “real world.”
Paul echoes Jesus when he tells the Corinthians that what passes for human wisdom is absurdity
to God. Divine wisdom casts sunshine on the good and the bad, showers rain on the honest and the
dishonest—without distinction. We must examine our wisdom and common sense to see how they
compare to the wisdom of God, and make adjustments accordingly. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
TODAY’S READINGS
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
First Reading — Take no
revenge and cherish no
grudge; love your neighbor as
yourself.
(Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18)
Psalm — The Lord is kind and
merciful.
(Psalm 103)
Second Reading — You are
the temple of God, and holy.
(1 Corinthians 3:16-23)
Gospel — Offer no resistance;
love your enemies.
(Matthew 5:38-48)
Aún lo recuerdo, estaba viajando en el metro de la ciudad de
Roma cuando subieron dos mujeres con niños. Vestían como si
fueran a una fiesta de disfraces. Noté que todas las personas las
evitaban. Eran gitanas, esas a las que mi mamá y mis tías me iban
a dar si no me portaba bien. Los gitanos no tienen una buena
reputación entre las naciones. Tienen la misma reputación de los
pastores de Palestina que vivieron en tiempos de Jesús. Se piensa
que son ladrones e inmorales, gente a la que hay que tenerle miedo.
Sin embargo, decimos que Jesús es nuestro Buen Pastor.
En Jesús, todas las personas que jamás creeríamos capaces de
alcanzar la santidad, lo logran. Tal es el caso del Pelé o Zeferino
Jiménez, un gitano que en 1936 fue fusilado por militares
españoles. El motivo de su muerte fue la enseñanza y difusión
de la fe en Cristo. Su muerte fue la cumbre de una vida de fe
como franciscano seglar. El ejemplo de vida que este gitano nos
dio, logró hacer que los españoles lo respetaran y olvidaran sus
prejuicios en contra de su gente. Además de eso, evangelizó a sus
hermanos gitanos.

WORLD NEWS:
BUENOS AIRES , ARGENTINA - “TO
STIGMATIZE IMMIGRANTS” OR
OPEN UP TO THE RICHNESS OF LIFE
THEY BRING WITH THEM?
AGENZIA FIDES | FEBRUARY 2, 2017 | FIDES.ORG
“Who is ‘the other’, how can I get in relationship
with him?” is the question to ask according to the
Episcopal Commission for Migration and Tourism of
the Episcopal Conference of Argentina, in the face
of divisions caused by the theme of migration both
at a political level and of society. The discussion on
the links between migration and crime has recently
taken momentum, in order to reform immigration
law to protect the country “against crime coming
from foreign countries”. The Episcopal Commission
therefore issued a statement, reported by AICA,
entitled “Stigmatization of migrants?” in which it
highlights a certain vision of this theme which is
present in different sectors of society.
“Migrants are forced to leave their land for survival
and the need to improve. They are attracted by
these countries of destination by the possibility
of taking up labor market spaces left free by the
local population”, recalls the message. “They are
necessary for society, as it is easy to see by taking a
look at foreign workers who swarm in the factories,
as cooks and waiters in restaurants, on construction
sites, on farms, in the fields, etc”.
Migrants seek for themselves and for their families
to meet the basic needs: housing, health, education,
security”, in a word, they need integration. A goal
that many have already achieved, and others
with great difficulty, still try to reach. A goal that
the institutions can guarantee by combining a
reception that looks to the future and prosperity of
the whole society”.
The message also notes the wealth that has
accumulated throughout the history of the people
of Argentina thanks to the meeting of different
cultures, and ends with an invitation to “build an
enriched and open identity, able to protect and
enhance the heritage of values and of ideals that
were inherited from the ancestors, and together
open up to new wealth of life that many migrants
bring with them”.
