DOING GOD’S WILLThe language of Jeremiah as he addresses his yearnings

to God—he says, “You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped” (Jeremiah 20:7)—indicates a close and personal relationship with God. It is one the prophet obviously cherishes despite the derision and reproach it brings him. In the Gospel, Jesus indicates a similar bond with his Father. In spite of the difficult challenges presented by following God’s will, Jesus is not deterred. Giving up our own worldly cares and dreams, even as we accept pain and suffering, is more than a fair exchange for doing the will of God.

The only way to do God’s will is offer our whole selves to God. As St. Paul writes in the Letter to the Romans: “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Romans 12:2a).

Today’s ReadingsFirst Reading — The name of the LORD has become like fire burning in Jeremiah’s heart (Jeremiah 20:7-9).Psalm — My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God (Psalm 63).Second Reading — Be transformed; renew your mind; discern what is good (Romans 12:1-2).Gospel — Those who lose their lives for Jesus’ sake will find them (Matthew 16:21-27).The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation.

31 Août 2014 - 22ème Dimanche Ordinaire - Année AFaire la volonté de Dieu Ce récit de l’Evangile nous place aussi face à une situation courante dans notre vie. Notre révolte face à la souffrance de l’autre est parfois supérieure à celle de celui qui souffre. Ainsi Pierre ne peut accepter de voir souffrir Jésus. Mais pour accomplir la volonté de Dieu, le disciple doit renoncer à lui-même, prendre sa croix et suivre Jésus. Le chemin proposé par le Seigneur comporte donc des épreuves, des sacrifices. Pierre doit apprendre que Jésus n’est pas un roi à la manière du monde. Son armée est céleste. Il doit aussi apprendre que l’Amour se révèle par des actes qui coûtent, par l’offrande de soi. Ce qui est demandé à Pierre – et donc ce qui nous est demandé – n’est pas facile. Il s’agit d’accepter que notre vie avec Dieu, qui n’est qu’Amour, ne soit pas exempte de souffrance. Comment comprendre cela ? C’est un mystère de notre foi. L’Evangile nous met en garde contre Satan et contre la pensée des hommes. Soyons attentifs aux paroles de Jésus : « Passe derrière moi Satan, tes pensées ne sont pas celles de Dieu, mais celles des hommes » (Mt 16,23). Il est d’une part affirmé que Satan existe bien, contrairement à ce que bon nombre de baptisés peuvent croire. En ce jour, nous pouvons, dans la prière, remettre toute notre vie devant le Seigneur afin qu’il nous montre là où nos choix ne sont pas ceux de Dieu mais ceux des hommes.

“La misión en la Iglesia Católica de San Bartolomé es reflejar el amor de Dios a

todos quienes nos reunimos, para fortalecer nuestra comunidad de fe a través de la adoración, educación, compañerismo, corresponsabilidad y actos de amor y caridad, de modo que podamos dirigir a personas de todas las procedencias

a nuestro Señor Jesucristo”.

Nuestra Parroquia de San BartoloméOfrece a los adultos que les falte un Sacramento de Iniciación Cristiana

(Bautismo, Confirmación o Primera Comunión)Las clases empezaran en Septiembre.

Unirse a la barca de Pedro!

HACER LA VOLUNTAD DE DIOS El lenguaje de Jeremías al dirigir sus anhelos al Señor

diciéndole: “Me has seducido, Señor, y me dejé seducir por ti” (Jeremías 20:7), indica una relación muy íntima. Es una que el profeta obviamente valora a pesar de los reproches y burlas que le trae. En el Evangelio, Jesús indica un lazo similar con su Padre. A pesar del difícil reto de seguir la voluntad de Dios, Jesús no se detiene. Dejar atrás los cuidados del mundo y los sueños, aunque sea para aceptar el dolor y el sufrimiento, es más que un intercambio justo para hacer la voluntad de Dios.

La única manera de hacer la voluntad de Dios es ofrecer todo nuestro ser a Dios. Como san Pablo escribe en la carta a los romanos: “No sigan la corriente del mundo en que vivimos, más bien transfórmense por la renovación de su mente” (Romanos 12:2a). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
