To Find Our Lives: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time The Liturgy this week continues to instruct us in the elements of discipleship. We’re told that even the most humble among us have a share in the mission Christ gives to His Church. We’re not all called to the ministry of the Apostles, or to be prophets like Elisha in today’s First Reading. But each of us is called to a holy life. At Baptism our lives were joined forever to the cross of Christ, as Paul tells us in today’s Epistle. Baptized into His death, we’re to renounce sin and live for God in Christ Jesus. We are to follow Him, each of us taking up our personal cross, as Jesus says in today’s Gospel. That doesn’t mean we will all be asked to suffer a martyr’s death. But each of us is called to self-denial, to the offering of our lives in service of God’s plan. Jesus must be elevated to first place in our lives—above even our closest bonds of kinship and love. By Baptism, we’ve been made part of a new family—the kingdom of God, the Church. We are to proclaim that kingdom with our lives, bringing our fathers and mothers, and all men and women to live as “little ones” under the fatherhood of God and the kingship of the Holy One. We do this by opening our hearts and homes to the service of the Lord, following the Shunnamite woman’s example in today’s First Reading. As Jesus tells us, we’re to receive others—not only prophets, but also little children, the poor and the imprisoned—as we receive Christ himself. As we sing in today’s Psalm, we are to testify to His favors and kindness in our lives. We’re to hold fast to the promise—that if we have died with Christ, we shall also live, that if we lose our lives for His sake, we shall find our reward, and walk forever in His countenance.

Para Encontrar Nuestras Vidas: Scott Hahn Refleja el 13º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La liturgia esta semana continúa instruyendonos en los elementos del discipulado. Se nos dice que incluso los más humildes entre nosotros tienen una participación en la misión que Cristo da a Su Iglesia. No todos somos llamados al ministerio de los Apóstoles, o ser profetas como Eliseo en la Primera Lectura de hoy. Pero cada uno de nosotros es llamado a una vida santa. En el bautismo nuestras vidas se unieron para siempre a la cruz de Cristo, como Pablo nos dice en la Epístola de hoy. Bautizados en su muerte, debemos renunciar al pecado y vivir para Dios en Cristo Jesús. Debemos seguirlo, cada uno de nosotros tomando nuestra cruz personal, como dice Jesús en el evangelio de hoy. Eso no significa que todos seamos solicitados a sufrir la muerte de un mártir. Pero cada uno de nosotros está llamado a la abnegacíon, a la ofrenda de nuestras vidas en el servicio del plan de Dios. Jesús debe ser elevado al primer lugar en nuestras vidas, incluso a nuestros más estrechos lazos de parentesco y amor. Por el Bautismo, hemos sido parte de una nueva familia-el reino de Dios, la Iglesia. Debemos proclamar ese reino con nuestras vidas, llevando a nuestros padres y madres ya todos los hombres a vivir como “pequeños” bajo la paternidad de Dios y la realeza del Santo. Hacemos esto abriendo nuestros corazones y hogares al servicio del Señor, siguiendo el ejemplo de la mujer Shunnamita en la Primera Lectura de hoy. Como dice Jesús, debemos recibir a otros, no solo a los profetas, sino también a los niños, a los pobres ya los encarcelados, al recibir a Cristo mismo. Mientras cantamos en el Salmo de hoy, debemos dar testimonio de sus favores y bondad en nuestras vidas. Debemos aferrarnos a la promesa de que si hemos muerto con Cristo, también viviremos, que si perdemos nuestras vidas por Su causa, encontraremos nuestra recompensa y andaremos para siempre en Su rostro.

Morality - Made in the Image of God: The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation. God has also given us a free will to seek and love what is true, good, and beautiful. Sadly, because of the Fall, we also suffer the impact of Original Sin, which darkens our minds, weakens our wills, and inclines us to sin. Baptism delivers us from Original Sin but not from its effects—especially the inclination to sin, concupiscence. Within us, then, is both the powerful surge toward the good because we are made in the image of God, and the darker impulses toward evil because of the effects of Original Sin.

But we should always remember that Christ's dying and rising offers us new life in the Spirit, whose saving grace delivers us from sin and heals sin's damage within us. Thus we speak of the value, dignity, and goal of human life, even with its imperfections and struggles. Human life, as a profound unity of physical and spiritual dimensions, is sacred. It is distinct from all other forms of life, since it alone is imprinted with the very image of its Creator.

Moralidad - Hecho a la imagen de Dios:El principio más básico de la vida moral cristiana es la conciencia de que cada persona tiene la dignidad de ser hecho a imagen de Dios. Él nos ha dado un alma inmortal ya través de los dones de la inteligencia y la razón nos permite entender el orden de las cosas establecidas en su creación. Dios también nos ha dado el libre albedrío de buscar y amar lo que es verdadero, bueno y bello. Lamentablemente, debido a la Caída, también sufrimos el impacto del Pecado Original, que oscurece nuestras mentes, debilita nuestras voluntades y nos inclina al pecado. El bautismo nos libera del pecado original, pero no de sus efectos, especialmente la inclinación al pecado, la concupiscencia. Dentro de nosotros, es tanto el poderoso impulso hacia el bien porque somos hechos a la imagen de Dios, y los impulsos más oscuros hacia el mal debido a los efectos del Pecado Original. Pero debemos recordar siempre que la muerte y la elevación de Cristo nos ofrece nueva vida en el Espíritu, cuya gracia salvadora nos libra del pecado y sana el daño del pecado dentro de nosotros. Así hablamos del valor, la dignidad y el objetivo de la vida humana, incluso con sus imperfecciones y luchas. La vida humana, como unidad profunda de dimensiones físicas y espirituales, es sagrada. Es distinta de todas las otras formas de vida, ya que solo está impresa con la misma imagen de su Creador.
