"Every perfect gift is from above,” the Letter of James says. What are the graces and good things God has given you? James also tells us to “welcome the word that has been planted in you.” How do you “welcome the word” in your heart and mind? Do you respect God’s word in your heart, not only with your lips? Though we may have the word in us, we must also “be doers of the word and not hearers only.” Where do you “do” the word? Take 5 Minutes for Faith… Purity is not an abstinence test Many of us who grew up in a moralizing culture were taught to imagine purity as having mainly to do with chastity. In which case, our aim was higher than the almostbutnotquite perfection you might get from Ivory Soap, which years ago advertised itself as 99 and 44/100 percent pure. We may therefore be astonished that, according to the apostle James, purity in religion has something to do with how we respond to the abandoned in this world. Think charity, not chastity, to bump up your purity percentile. Today's readings: Deuteronomy 4:12, 68; James 1:1718, 21b22, 27; Mark 7:18, 1415, 2123 (125). “Religion that is pure . is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction.” Page 4 St. Matthias RC ChurchNRidgewood, NY August 29, 2021 ¿Que hay en tu corazón? "Los dones perfectos proceden de lo alto," dice la Carta de Santiago (cf. Santiago 1:17) ¿Cuáles son las gracias y las cosas buenas que Dios te ha dado? ¿Como tú acoges la Palabra de Dios en tu corazón y en tu mente? También nos exhorta el apóstol Santiago: "Pongan por obra lo que dice la Palabra y no se conformen con oírla" Santiago 1:22 ¿Cuándo tus pones en práctica la Palabra que has escuchado? La pureza no es una prueba de abstinencia A muchos de los que crecimos en una cultura moralizante se nos enseñó a imaginar que la pureza tenía que ver principalmente con la castidad. En cuyo caso, nuestro objetivo era más alto que la “casiperonototal” perfección que se podía obtener del jabón Ivory, que hace años se anunciaba como 99.44 por ciento puro. Por eso puede sorprendernos que, según el apóstol Santiago, la pureza en la religión tenga que ver con la forma en que respondemos a los abandonados de este mundo. Piensa en la caridad, no en la castidad, para aumentar tu percentil de pureza. Lecturas del día: Deuteronomio 4:12, 68; Santiago 1:1718, 21b22, 27; Marcos 7:18, 1415, 2123 (125). “La religión que es pura . es ésta: cuidar de los huérfanos y de las viudas en su aflicción.” Recordatorio Sobre Covid19 Estamos agradecidos por todos sus esfuerzos mientras seguimos combatiendo la pandemia.Tenemos el deber de cuidarnos mutuamente y seguir las recomendaciones de la Diócesis y de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC). Todos deben continuar usando mascarillas y mantener distancia social de acuerdo con las guías dadas por la CDC. La Diócesis recomienda que los feligreses reciban la Sagrada Comunión en la mano extendida. También por motivos de la pandemia, continuaremos dándonos la Señal de la Paz sin tocarnos las manos, no recibiremos del cáliz durante la Comunión, y por ahora, las fuentes de agua bendita seguirán vacías. Esperamos y oramos que todas las familias de nuestra parroquia se sientan seguros dentro de la iglesia. Memoria de San Gregorio I Magno, Septiembre 3 Papa y doctor de la Iglesia, que siendo monje ejerció ya de legado pontificio en Constantinopla y después, en tal día, fue elegido Romano Pontífice. Arregló problemas temporales y, como siervo de los siervos, atendió a los cuidados espirituales, mostrándose como verdadero pastor en el gobierno de la Iglesia, ayudando sobre manera a los necesitados, omentando la vida monástica y propagando y reafirmando la fe por doquier, para lo cual escribió muchas y célebres obras sobre temas morales y pastorales. Murió el doce de marzo (604). Page 5 St. Matthias RC ChurchNRidgewood, NY 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time ł ł ł ł 8ł ą ł ł ć ł ł !" ę ą ł ś ą ż ł ść śćę ść ł !$ ł ł ę ł 9! Co jest w twpim sercu?
