WHOSE AUTHORITY?
A man stands on your front doorstep,
holding a Bible:
“Good afternoon. May I share a few
words of Christian truth with you?”
“Sure. Where do you get this truth?”
“From the Bible, of course.”
“That’s your authority? The Bible?”
“Yes, it’s the only authority for
Christians.”
“Can you prove that from the Bible?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean I don’t believe the Bible claims
to be the sole rule of faith. Please show me where the Bible
claims such a status for itself.”
Sometimes the conversation goes more like this:
“Good afternoon. May I share a few words of Christian
truth with you?”
“No, I’m a Catholic.”
The door closes.
Many door-to-door proselytizers have good intentions.
They want to convert you to the “truth”—as they see it.
From their perspective, the Bible is the sole authority for
the Christian faith. Some are taught that Catholics are
prohibited from reading the Bible or know nothing about
the scriptures. However, not only do we have full access to
the Bible, but we hear segments of it proclaimed every
time we celebrate Mass. In today’s first reading God gives
Moses the right to speak with divine authority to the people
of Israel. In today’s readings Jesus and Moses are
recognized as speaking and acting with the authority of
God. Both Jesus and Moses acted as a bridge between the
people and God. For us the scriptures are a bridge for
God’s truth, but so are the sacraments and the lived
experience of the Church—what we call Tradition. It is
part of our responsibility as disciples of Jesus to learn from
the scriptures, to listen attentively at Mass, to read
scripture prayerfully for ourselves, and to learn more about
the Bible through reading, studying, and learning with
others.
¿CON QUÉ AUTORIDAD?
Un hombre llega a la puerta de tu casa con
una Biblia en la mano:
“Buenos días. ¿Pudiera compartir unas
palabras de la verdad cristiana con usted?”
“Por supuesto. ¿De dónde saca usted esa
verdad?” respondes tú.
“De la Biblia, por supuesto”.
“¿Es ésa su autoridad? ¿La Biblia?”
“Sí, es la única autoridad para los cristianos”.
“¿Puede usted probar eso con la Biblia?”
“¿Qué quiere decir?”
“Quiero decir que yo no creo que la Biblia
diga ser la única regla de la fe. Por favor,
enséñeme dónde en la Biblia dice eso”.
Algunas veces la conversación se pudiera dar de esta otra
manera:
“Buenas tardes. ¿Pudiera compartir unas palabras de la verdad
cristiana con usted?”
“No, soy católico”.
La puerta se cierra.
Muchos proselitistas que van de puerta en puerta tienen buenas
intenciones: quieren convertirte a la “verdad”, tal como ellos la
ven. Desde la perspectiva de ellos la Biblia es la única autoridad
para la fe cristiana. A algunos de ellos se les ha enseñado que a
los católicos se les prohíbe leer la Biblia o que no saben nada
acerca de las Escrituras. Sin embargo, no sólo nosotros tenemos
acceso a la Biblia, sino que también escuchamos segmentos de
ella en las lecturas que se proclaman en la celebración de la
Misa. En la primera lectura de hoy Dios le concede a Moisés el
derecho a hablarle al pueblo de Israel con autoridad divina. Las
lecturas de hoy reconocen que Jesús y Moisés hablan y actúan
con una autoridad que viene de Dios. Tanto Jesús como Moisés
actuaron como puente entre el pueblo y Dios. Para nosotros las
Escrituras son un puente para llegar a la verdad de Dios, pero
también lo son los sacramentos y la experiencia de la Iglesia
vivida a través de todas las generaciones, o sea, lo que llamamos
la Tradición. Parte de nuestra responsabilidad como discípulos
de Jesús es aprender de las Escrituras, esto es, escuchar
atentamente durante la Misa, leer las Escrituras en una actitud
orante, y aprender más acerca de la Biblia mediante la lectura, y
el estudio individual y grupal.
Heavenly Father, help us to
determine what “enough” is for our
family and to joyfully and generously
share the rest. Amen.

Stephen Ministry
As of July 7, 2015 will have completed
our 13 years of ministering to the
fellow parishioners at St. Frances!! Our
parish was enrolled in Stephen
Ministry in 2002, after Father Jenkins
had decided that the care system
provided by Stephen Ministry best met the needs of
our parish. Lay caregivers (people like you and I)
called Stephen Ministers (after St. Stephen), provide
one-to-one care to the bereaved, hospitalized
terminally ill, unemployed, handicapped, homebound, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. The
ministry helps our priests by providing follow-up care
for as long as needed. Our care receivers benefit from
a strong support system, and our Christian friendship
and love. We Stephen Ministers benefit through the
spiritual growth we experience from being involved in
a meaningful ministry, and everyone benefits from
knowing that additional care will be available for us
and our loved ones if we should need it. Those of us
who serve on Stephen ministry love and believe in the
ministry because you see the results in our dear care
receivers. We know the difference this ministry makes
in our parish, but in order to keep it a viable ministry
we need to have more dedicated people join us…
people like you. Please keep the ministry in mind and
in your prayers!!!

Healing Broken Hearts-One
Weekend at a Time.
Pope Francis said: “God is the light that illuminates
the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a
spark of divine light is within each of us.” Sometimes
situations and decisions from the past can place us into
darkness where we feel disconnected and alone. If
you have emotional or spiritual wounds as a result of a
past abortion, please consider attending our upcoming
Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreat February 27 –
March 1, 2015. Rachel’s Vineyard is a unique sensory
based program for both men and women, which
integrates emotional, psychological and spiritual
dimensions to provide an effective recovery process
for those hurt by abortion and life’s circumstances. By
experiencing God’s profound love and mercy, let 2015
become the year you rekindle the spark of divine light
which is within all of us. Participation is strictly
confidential. For more information, please contact
Mary Huber at 909-475-5353 or
[email protected] or visit the website
Rachelsvineyard.org.
