Cómo Dios pretende que vivamos This weekend in the Scriptures we hear in the first Las lecturas de hoy una vez más están dirigidas a los reading and the Gospel a similar story to the Greatest creyentes, comunidades de fe. Así como la lectura de la Showman. In the first reading we hear the cry of Amos, semana pasada. Amós nos conforta con una condena de “Woe to the complacent in Zion! Lying on beds of ivory, aquellos cuyas vidas están enfocadas en el placer y la stretched comfortably on their couches.” We are being auto absorción. El Salmo contrasta ese enfoque con el del warned, exhorted and called from our complacency to Señor: justicia para los oprimidos, alimentos para action. In the Gospel, “There was a rich man who los hambrientos, libertad para los cautivos, vista para los dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined ciegos, levantar a los agachados, amor al justo, proteger a sumptuously each day” … Yet, once his life ended and los extranjeros, huérfanos y las viudas; y al hacerlo, the important things were weighed, he was found frustrando el camino a los malvados. Timoteo nos insta a wanting and only then became impassioned to go on la búsqueda de la justicia, la devoción, la fe, el amor, la mission to his living brothers, but by then it was too paciencia y la mansedumbre.
