(Carta en español en la página 5) “Jesus Gave and Asks for All” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC Jesus was a radical. This is expressed by the word all in today’s Gospel. All your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. What does that command leave out? That’s right, nothing! Jesus gave it all, and he asks for it all. That is radical. Jesus is the first one to give us the example of this total andself-giving surrender to God the Father. When prayer was more important than sleep, he prayed. When he had to go without food, like in the desert, he did. When he knew that God wanted him to stay in town, he did. And when it was time to move on, he did as well. When he knew God wanted him to preach a word of compassion or condemnation, he did, regardless of whether the person was a beggar, Peter, Pilate, or Herod. He gave all his heart, mind, and soul to God. And what about loving his neighbor as himself? He loved not only his perfect, immaculate Mother, but he also loved his imperfect fellow human beings: his apostles, disciples, and fellow Jews whose faith and understanding were slow. He loved Judas and chased down discouraged apostles heading to Emmaus. He loved his enemies just as much. Tax collectors, publicans, Roman soldiers, Samaritans all received words and acts of love. The poor also had a special place in his heart, as was evident by his many miracles of soul and body for them. His love even went beyond those people he encountered in his life and reached everyone for all times. He established the sacraments and his Church to accompany on their earthly pilgrimage all those who would follow him throughout history. He descended into hell to save those who had gone before him and opened heaven. In short, he gave it all! And so, he can ask the same from us as well. Jesus is the first one to give us the example of total and self-giving surrender to God the Father.

(Letter in English on page 3) “Jesús dio y pide por todos” Por Fr. Mark Haydu, LC Jesús fue un radical. Esto se expresa con la palabra todos en el Evangelio de hoy. Todo tu corazón, toda tu alma y toda tu mente. ¿Qué deja fuera ese comando? Eso es correcto, ¡nada! Jesús lo dio todo y lo pide todo. Eso es radical. Jesús es el primero en darnos el ejemplo de esta entrega total y abnegada a Dios Padre. Cuando la oración era más importante que el sueño, oró. Cuando tuvo que pasar sin comer, como en el desierto, lo hizo. Cuando supo que Dios quería que se quedara en la ciudad, lo hizo. Y cuando llegó el momento de seguir adelante, él también lo hizo. Cuando supo que Dios quería que predicara una palabra de compasión o condenación, lo hizo, sin importar si la persona era un mendigo, Pedro, Pilato o Herodes. Le entregó todo su corazón, mente y alma a Dios. ¿Y amar a su prójimo como a sí mismo? Amaba no solo a su Madre perfecta e inmaculada, sino también a sus semejantes imperfectos: sus apóstoles, discípulos y compañeros judíos cuya fe y comprensión eran lentas. Amaba a Judas y persiguió a los apóstoles desanimados que se dirigían a Emaús. Amaba tanto a sus enemigos. Los recaudadores de impuestos, publicanos, soldados romanos, samaritanos, todos recibieron palabras y actos de amor. Los pobres también tenían un lugar especial en su corazón, como lo demuestran los muchos milagros de alma y cuerpo que hizo para ellos. Su amor incluso fue más allá de las personas que encontró en su vida y alcanzó a todos en todos los tiempos. Estableció los sacramentos y su Iglesia para acompañar en su peregrinaje terrenal a todos los que lo seguirían a lo largo de la historia. Descendió a los infiernos para salvar a los que habían ido antes que él y abrieron el cielo. En resumen, ¡lo dio todo! Y así, él también puede pedirnos lo mismo. Jesús es el primero en darnos el ejemplo de entrega total y abnegada a Dios Padre.
