Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 27, 2015

TOWARD HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

From the beginning of crea on, God intended for people to live together in rela onship with one another. Much of scripture shows us how to do this as it illustrates and clarifies God’s plans. The readings this weekend guide us in the value and care of our rela onships. Specifically, the Gospel focuses on the circumstances of failed rela onships. Unlike the Pharisees, we would do well not to focus on the laws that pertain to failed rela onships, but concentrate instead on what God really intended for us. Healthy bonds require a lot of our me and energy. They certainly require trust and honesty. Jesus demonstrated a deep commitment to his friends and to us. As our brother, he gave his very life for us. Children work hard at friendships. They trust, forgive, and love without condi ons. The final words of today’s Gospel invite us to welcome Jesus and the people of our rela onships with the fresh enthusiasm of a child. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CAMINO A RELACIONES SALUDABLES

Desde comienzos de la creación, Dios tenía planeado que los seres humanos vivieran unidos llevándose bien unos con otros. Gran parte de la Sagrada Escritura nos muestra cómo hacerlo, a la vez que explica y clarifica el plan de Dios. Las lecturas este fin de semana ofrecen una guía para valorar y cuidar de nuestras relaciones humanas. Específicamente, el Evangelio se enfoca en las circunstancias de una relación que ha fallado. A diferencia de los fariseos, nos conviene no tanto enfa zar las leyes que se aplican a relaciones que fallan, sino más bien, dar prioridad a lo que en realidad Dios deseaba para nosotros. Los vínculos saludables requieren de nosotros mucho empo y dedicación. Ciertamente exigen confianza y hones dad. Jesús demostró un profundo compromiso con sus amigos y para con nosotros. Como un hermano, entregó hasta su vida por nosotros. Los niños se ocupan mucho de sus amistades. Ellos con an, perdonan, aman sin condiciones. Las palabras finales del Evangelio de hoy nos invitan a recibir a Jesús y a aquellos con quienes nos relacionamos, con el entusiasmo y la frescura de un niño. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Respect Life Sunday

AB 2x-15 would legalize physician-assisted suicide in California. In Pope Francis’ recent address to Congress, he reminded us, “a political society endures when it seeks...to satisfy common needs...especially [of] those in situations of greater vulnerability or risk. Legislative activity is always based on care for the people.” Take action now to protect the elderly and those with disabilities. Encourage quality end of life care, not suicide as a solution. Visit www.AHardPill.org to learn more, and urge Governor Brown to veto AB 2x-15.

Prayer to Stop Assisted Suicide

O God, source of all life and hope, look kindly on our brothers and sisters facing the end of their lives. Fill them with the hope of your mercy and give them peace and comfort.

We pray for our California legislators who are considering legalizing assisted suicide. Inspire them to protect the lives of the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

Renew our commitment to building a community where every human life is welcomed and wanted, valued and defended, from conception to natural death.

We ask this through the intercession of Saint John Paul II. Amen.

Oh Dios, Fuente de vida y esperanza, mira con bondad a nuetros hermanos y hermanas que enfrentanal fin de sus vidas. Llénalos de esperanza en tu misericordia y dales paz y consuelo.

Reneuva neustro compromiso con la construcción de una comunidad donde toda vida humana sea bienvenida y querida, valorada y defendida, desde su concepción hasta su muerte natural.

Todo esto te pedimos por la intercesión de San Juan Pablo II. Amén.
