THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME TWAZYÈM DIMANCH SENP, ANE B

THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

My brothers and sisters,

The book of Jonah is like the parables of Jesus, and like the

parables of Jesus it has a very important lesson to teach. Jonah

represents those people who are petty, selfish, and who do not

want to share anything, not even God, with others. Jonah is

symbolic of those who hate other people, hold grudges, and

refuse to be reconciled with their enemies, even though they

expect God to forgive their sins. Jonah represents those people

who do not understand God. God is big, but we tend to be petty.

God is forgiving but we tend to refuse reconciliation with those

who hurt us. God is generous, but we tend to be selfish. The

sign of how God is different from Jonah and those who are like

him is the cross. In the second Eucharistic prayer we say of Jesus

that he “opened his arms on the cross.” He did so in order to

embrace men and women of every time and place. The Spanish

translation makes the meaning clearer and more emphatic:

“Extendio sus brazos en la cruz.” He extended his arms, that is,

he reached out as far as he could so that no one would be

excluded from his reconciling love. We call the Church Catholic

because it is universal. It extends back through all the ages to

the time of Christ and will remain until he returns in glory. It is

Catholic also in the sense that all people are included. Although

the Church was founded in Jerusalem, it is not Jewish. Although

the Church found its center in Rome, it is not Italian. Although

the Church was spread mainly by European missionaries, the

Church is not European. The Church is Catholic, universal. All

authentic Catholics do not close their hearts to others as did

Jonah. Rather like Christ they open their arms—they extend

their arms—to embrace everyone. That is why God sent his Son

to us, to teach us and guide us. “The time has come”, he said as

he began his public ministry. “The kingdom of God is near. Turn

away from your sins and believe in this good news”. As we heard

in today’s gospel, Jesus needed help to announce this good

news, so he started choosing people who would help him. Jesus

said: “I came that they may have life and may have it to the full.”

Jesus’ teachings are good news. Sometimes, though, it doesn’t

feel that way. Forgiving people who have hurt us, loving our

enemies, getting up on Sunday morning when we’re tired,

keeping the commandments, giving some of our hard-earned

money to others; sometimes it doesn’t feel like good news.

That’s why he said, “believe in this good news,” because we

don’t always feel it.

Fr. Yves.

TWAZYÈM DIMANCH SENP, ANE B

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,

Liv Jonas la se tankou parabòl Jezi yo, e menm jan ak parabòl Jezi

yo, li geyen yon leson ki enpòtan anpil pou anseye. Jonas

reprezante moun ki mesken yo, sa ki egoyis yo, moun ki pa vle

pataje anyen nan sa yo genyen, menm Bondye yo pa vle pataje

ak lòt moun. Jonas se senbòl moun ki rayi prochen yo, moun ki

gen anpil rankin epi ki refize rekonsilye avèk ennmi yo, menm lè

ke y-ap tann Bondye padone peche yo. Jonas reprezante moun

sa yo ki pa konprann Bondye. Bondye gran, men nou menm nou

gen tandans pou nou minimize. Bondye renmen padone, men

nou menm, nou gen tandans refize rekonsilye ak moun ki fè nou

mal. Bondye jenere e nou menm nou gen tandans egoyis. Yon

siy ki montre ke Bondye diferan de Jonas ak moun ki menm jan

ak l yo, se kwa-a. Nan 2èm priyè Ekaristik la, nou di « Jezi ouvè

2 bra-l sou la kwa » Li fè sa pou l anbrase tout gason ak fanm

tout tan, tout kote. Tradiksyon espanyòl la rann sans li pi klè e

pi kategorik : «Extendio SUS Brazos en la cruz.» Li lonje bra-l pi

lwen ke li kapab sou kwa-a yon fason pou li pa rae okenn moun

de lanmou konsilyatè Li-a. Nou rele Legliz Katolik paske li

inivèsèl. Li la depi nan tan pase yo, depi sou tan Jezi Kri, e l-ap

rete la jiskaske Li retounen nan laglwa. Li se Katolik tou paske li

enkli tout kalite moun. Malgre ke Legliz la fonde nan Lavil

Jerizalèm, li pa Jwif. Byen ke Legliz la gen sant kontròl li nan Lavil

Ròm, li pa Italyen pou sa. Malgre an pati ke se misyonè Eropeyen

yo ki te fe Legliz la repann, li pa Eropeyèn pou sa. Legliz Katolik

inivèsèl. Tout katolik otantik yo, pap fèmen kè ak lòt moun,

menm jan Jonas te fè-l. Yon fason menm jan ak Jezi Kri, yo ouvri

bra yo byen gran pou yo akeyi tout moun. Se poutèt sa, Bondye

te voye pitit li a pou-L te anseye nou epi gide nou. «Moman-an

rive kounyè-a », Li te di, menm jan li te kòmanse fè li nan ministè

piblik li. « Wayòm Bondye-a tou pre rive » Kite peche nou yo epi

kwè nan Bòn Nouvèl la. Kòm nou tande nan Levanjil jodi-a, Jezi

te bezwen anpil bra pou anonse Bòn Nouvèl la, pousa li te

kòmanse chwazi moun ki te pou ede li. Jezi te di: « Mwen te vini

pou yo ka gen lavi e pou yo genyen lavi an abondans. »

ansèyman Jezi yo se Bòn nouvèl yo ye. Menm si gen de fwa, nou

pa santi nan fason sa-a. Padone moun ki fè nou mal, padone

enmi nou yo, leve nan dimanch maten, lè nou fatige. Gade

kòmandman yo, bay lòt moun yon pati nan lajan travay nou.

Kèkfwa, li pa yon Bòn Nouvèl. Se poutèt sa li te di: « Kwè nan

Bòn Nouvèl sa a, » paske nou pap toujou santi-l

Pè Yves Geffrard
