Page 2 Saint John the Evangelist From Father Jim September 19, 2021 Sunday Readings The First Reading is taken from the Book of Wisdom 2:12, 17-20. Against the background of Egyptian worship of animals and mock- ery of Jewish trust in God, the author devotes much of chapters 1 - 5 to the ineffectiveness of such mockery when God has promised immortality to those who remain faithful. The Second Reading is from the Letter of St. James 3:16, 4:3. "Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members? You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you can- not obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask." In this reading St. James tells us to recognize the source of our disagreements. The Gospel is from St. Mark 9:30-37. The Apostles were still very worldly-minded. They were full of the hope that Christ would estab- lish an earthly messianic kingdom, that he would not only free their holy land from the hated pagan rulers but that he would set up a worldwide empire for the people of God. Many of the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament spoke of a worldwide kingdom; all nations would submit to the descendant of David; Jerusalem would be the magnet which would attract all peoples. The prophets, however, were speaking of the true messianic kingdom, the spiritual kingdom that Christ would establish. The Apostles were as yet unable to see the true meaning of these prophecies. They took them as referring to a worldly kingdom. They had come to believe that Christ was the promised Messiah, therefore, he would overcome all enemies and all opposition and set up this kingdom. How, there- fore, could his enemies overpower him much less put him to death before he had accomplished his task? Thus, they refused to be- lieve his prophecies concerning his coming tortures and death. Now, either in trying to understand what he had so plainly told them, or maybe in putting this disturbing thought far from their minds, they began disputing with one another as to which of them would have the highest post of honor in the earthly messianic kingdom which they had envisaged. How worldly but how human they were! We must not forget though, that they were not yet really Christians — they needed the death and resurrection of Christ to make them what they became — His true followers and loyal disciples. There was in the unformed Apostles a desire to turn Christ's kingdom into an earthly welfare state, rather than into a preparation for heaven. All Christians know that Christ suffered and died for their salvation, and that he asked his followers to take up their cross and follow him if they wished to be his disciples. The first generations of Christians fully understood this and faithfully followed him even to martyrdom. However, as time went on and opposition to the Christian faith disappeared, so too did the zeal and fervor of many Chris- tians. For centuries we have had nominal Christians in Christ's Church -- men and women who tried to make their paradise in this world and forgot the everlasting heaven. Our own age has seen an unprecedented increase in this falling away of Christians. Leaving aside the parts of Europe which are pro- fessedly atheist -- but where in spite of the leaders there are many sincere and devout Christians -- the number of lapsed and nominal Christians in the other Western countries is frightening. These non-practicing Christians, unwilling to carry their crosses, have decided to make this earth their paradise. They want prosperity, comfort and happiness in this world. The vast majority of them, of course, refuse to look to the future; it could be an unpleasant thought, yet they must see that in every town and village there is a mortician, an undertaker who makes a good living disposing of human "remains." Die they must; "and what then?" should be a question which overshadows their lives. Many of these people who in practice have abandoned Christianity, try to salve their consciences by devoting any time they can spare to making this planet a better place in which to live. It is an excellent aim with a possibility of success — if the Fatherhood of God and the true brotherhood of man are upheld. But otherwise, it is a vain Utopia. If God, and Christ's teaching are left out of our reckoning, we shall ever have jealousies, enmities, hatred and wars. Christians have made war on Christians because neither side in the struggle was truly Christian. What chance then has the world when Christ and Christianity are banished from it? Today's thought for each one of us is this: Christ became man, suffered and died as man, for our sakes. By his resurrection He con- quered death and opened heaven for us. Heaven is our true destiny. Loving God and our neighbor and carrying our cross is the only way to reach heaven. Forget this "heaven on earth" doctrine; it does not and never will exist! Accept Christ and you are accepting the Father who sent Him. He in turn will accept you. --Excerpted from The Sunday Readings by Fr. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M.

Página 5 Saint John the Evangelist From Father Jim Septiembre 19, 2021 Lecturas Dominicales La primera lectura está tomada del Libro de la Sabiduría 2:12, 17-20. Con el trasfondo del culto egipcio a los animales y la burla de la confianza judía en Dios, el autor dedica gran parte de los capítulos 1 al 5 a la ineficacia de tal burla cuando Dios ha prometido la inmortalidad a los que permanecen fieles. La segunda lectura es de la carta de Santiago 3:16, 4: 3. "¿De dónde vienen las guerras y de dónde vienen los conflictos entre ustedes? ¿No son sus pasiones las que hacen la guerra dentro de sus miembros? Codician pero no poseen. Matan y envidian pero no pueden obtener; pelean y hacen la guerra. No posees porque no pides ". En esta lectura, Santiago nos dice que reconozcamos la fuente de nuestros desacuerdos. El Evangelio es de San Marcos 9: 30-37. Los apóstoles todavía tenían una mentalidad muy mundana. Estaban llenos de la esperan- za de que Cristo establecería un reino mesiánico terrenal, que no solo liberaría su tierra santa de los odiados gobernantes paganos, sino que establecería un imperio mundial para el pueblo de Dios. Muchas de las profecías mesiánicas del Antiguo Testamento ha- blaban de un reino mundial; todas las naciones se someterían a la descendencia de David; Jerusalén sería el imán que atraería a todos los pueblos. Los profetas, sin embargo, estaban hablando del verdadero reino mesiánico, el reino espiritual que Cristo estable- cería. Los apóstoles aún no podían ver el verdadero significado de estas profecías. Los tomaron como una referencia a un reino mundano. Habían llegado a creer que Cristo era el Mesías prometido, por lo tanto, vencería a todos los enemigos y toda oposición y establecería este reino. Entonces, ¿cómo podrían sus enemigos dominarlo y mucho menos matarlo antes de que hubiera cumplido su tarea? Por lo tanto, se negaron a creer en sus profecías que se avecinaban sobre sus torturas y la muerte. Ahora, ya sea al tratar de entender lo que les había dicho tan claramente, o tal vez al alejar este pensamiento perturbador de sus mentes, comenzaron a discutir entre ellos sobre cuál de ellos tendría el puesto más alto de honor en el reino mesiánico terrenal que habían previsto. ¡Qué mundanos pero qué humanos eran! Sin embargo, no debemos olvidar que aún no eran realmente cristianos; necesitaban la muerte y resurrección de Cristo para convertirlos en lo que se convirtieron: sus verdaderos seguidores y leales discípulos. En los apóstoles no formados había un deseo de convertir el reino de Cristo en un estado de bienestar terrenal, en lugar de una preparación para el cielo. Todos los cristianos saben que Cristo sufrió y murió por su salvación, y que pidió a sus seguidores que tomaran su cruz y lo siguieran si querían ser sus discípulos. Las primeras generaciones de cristianos lo comprendieron plenamente y lo siguieron fielmente hasta el martirio. Sin embargo, a medida que pasó el tiempo y desapareció la oposición a la fe cristiana, también desapareció el celo y el fervor de muchos cristianos. Durante siglos hemos tenido cristianos nominales en la Iglesia de Cris- to: hombres y mujeres que intentaron hacer su paraíso en este mundo y se olvidaron del cielo eterno. Nuestra propia época ha visto un aumento sin precedentes en este alejamiento de los cristianos. Dejando a un lado las partes de Europa que profesan ser ateas, pero donde a pesar de los líderes hay muchos cristianos sinceros y devotos, el número de cristianos nominales y perdidos en los otros países occidentales es aterrador. Estos cristianos no practicantes, que no están dispuestos a car- gar con sus cruces, han decidido hacer de esta tierra su paraíso. Quieren prosperidad, comodidad y felicidad en este mundo. La gran mayoría de ellos, por supuesto, se niega a mirar hacia el futuro; podría ser un pensamiento desagradable, pero deben ver que en cada pueblo y aldea hay una funeraria, una persona o empresario que se gana la vida sepultando "restos" humanos. Deben morir; "¿y luego que?" debería ser una pregunta que ensombrece sus vidas. Muchas de estas personas que en la práctica han abandonado el Cristianismo, tratan de salvar su conciencia dedicando el tiempo que pueden a hacer de este planeta un lugar mejor para vivir. Es un objetivo excelente con posibilidades de éxito, si se mantienen la Paternidad de Dios y la verdadera hermandad del hombre. Pero por lo demás, es una utopía vana. Si Dios y las enseñanzas de Cris- to quedan fuera de nuestro cálculo, siempre tendremos celos, enemistades, odio y guerras. Los cristianos le han hecho la guerra a los cristianos porque ninguno de los bandos en la lucha era verdaderamente cristiano. Entonces, ¿qué posibilidades tiene el mundo cuando Cristo y el Cristianismo son desterrados de él? El pensamiento de hoy para cada uno de nosotros es este: Cristo se hizo hombre, sufrió y murió como hombre, por nosotros. Con su resurrección conquistó la muerte y nos abrió el cielo. El cielo es nuestro verdadero destino. Amar a Dios y al prójimo y cargar nuestra cruz es la única forma de llegar al cielo. Olvídese de esta doctrina del "cielo en la tierra"; ¡no existe y nunca existirá! Acepta a Cristo y estás aceptando al Padre que lo envió. Él a su vez te aceptará. --Extraído de las lecturas dominicales del p. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M.
