Behaviors that Matter
Christian discipleship is not just about what we say or about the words we use. More importantly, it is
about how we are called to act, especially towards one another. This is the focus of today’s readings.
Both Numbers and Mark remind us that Christian discipleship is not about belonging to a select group
or about being more privileged or better than others who don’t belong to our “circle.” Both Joshua and John
mistakenly assumed that those who were not part of Moses’ and Jesus’ inner circle of companions (the seven-
ty or the Twelve) were somehow in competition with and opposed to the Spirit of God. On the contrary, Mo-
ses and Jesus were delighted that others had received the Spirit, so that they too might be prophets who build
up the people of God and his Reign. Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people of the Lord were
prophets, exclaims Moses. There is not one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same
time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us, proclaims Jesus.
The Spirit of God cannot be hemmed in by any human convention, nor can it be claimed as the exclu-
sive possession of a privileged few. God cannot be put into a box. Rather, the Spirit blows where the Spirit
wills. It is freer flowing and more unconventional than any human can imagine. Attitudes or behaviors that
claim to limit the presence or power of the Spirit must be rejected, especially by the Christian, who humbly
recognizes that all manifestations of the Spirit are the work of a loving and magnanimous God for the benefit
of everyone. Christian discipleship, therefore, understands that the Spirit is an unearned gift from God, who
gives it liberally to anyone who will accept and use it to build up his Kingdom. Anyone who gives you a cup
of water to drink because you belong to Christ … will surely not lose his reward.
The Spirit is conferred on Christians at our baptism and confirmation – at our baptism, when we are
anointed Priest, Prophet, and King; at our confirmation, when we are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
All who receive the gift of the Spirit become prophets whose mission is to carry God’s message to the world.
This is the task of all Christians, not just the priests and religious.
The Spirit enables the prophet to pay attention to the plight of humankind, finding nothing small or
trivial about good and evil. The work of the prophet is to unmask the idols of the present, both in her own life
and in the life of the community, idols such as addiction to money, power, the need to control everything
about her own life and the lives of others, the worship of self, the relentless and ruthless exploitation of our
common home, and indifference to the plight of others. The Spirit-driven prophet reminds us that we are all
sinners but also proclaims and models the remedy to sin through fidelity to God and God’s covenant with us
in Christ Jesus.
This is also the behavior that Mark and James call forth from Christians. Mark urges us to reflect on
our behaviors that lead to sin or cause others to sin, that prevent us or others from entering into to God’s
Reign, that cause us or others to abandon faith in God. Mark exhorts us to cut such behaviors out of our lives,
as thoroughly and decisively as if we were amputating a diseased limb or plucking out a cancerous eye. James
identifies some of these offensive behaviors that were occasions for sin in his community: the obsessive pur-
suit for wealth for its own sake and the cavalier mistreatment of workers. Our own lives and our secular socie-
ty also have their unique sinful behaviors that need to be rooted out. The Spirit-driven prophet’s task is to
identify these behaviors, wherever they exist, and, by God’s merciful love and grace, to transform them. No
longer should our concern be to hoard our wealth or to use our God-given gifts to benefit ourselves alone –
that behavior belongs to thieves and murderers and leads only to rot and corrosion. Rather, our wealth and oth-
er gifts are to be used freely for the common good, to build up God’s Reign, and to welcome the stranger.
Mark, Numbers, and James invite us to reflect on our behavior as disciples of Jesus. They encourage
us to humbly recognize and be grateful for every manifestation of God’s Spirit, even among those who are not
part of our own circle or who do not belong to the “in crowd,” They exhort us to be doers of the Word, not
merely listeners, and to use our talents and gifts for the benefit of those in need and the larger Christian com-
munity. They remind us that we must constantly reflect on our own behaviors and those of our secular society
and to ruthlessly root out those that cause us or lead others to sin. Above all, they remind us that the precepts
of the Lord give joy to the heart.
Blessings, Fr. Chris 2

STEWARDSHIP CORNER Reflec ons on Sunday readings in the context of Stewardship.
““Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say
to you, will surely not lose his reward.” MARK 9:41
We are made in God’s image and likeness. We tend to forget this. When you look at
others, do you see the face of Jesus in them? When others look at you, do they see the face
of Jesus in you? When we realize that all lives ma er to God, then gra tude and generousity become easier. Why? Because
that’s the way we are made! We are one Body of Christ; when one of us is hur ng, all of us feel the pain. 4

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES:
YES !! Our Church cross is back. A er the wind storms that tore apart
one of the arms of the cross, we now have a new cross back atop the

cross, which we hope will last for genera ons to come.

Hispanic Heritage Month! - September 15-October 15, 2021
Hispanic/Latino Presence in the USA: Early History
By Alejandro Aguilera-Titus and Fr. Allan Figueroa Deck, SJ, courtesy of the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural
Diversity in the Church
People with roots in Latin American countries have lived in the United States from its very beginnings.
However, their presence on the national scene was practically invisible. The 1970 Census was the first time
Hispanics were counted and recognized as a distinct population. The very term Hispanic was chosen by the
U.S. Government to name a growing population that was not a racial or an ethnic group, but a people with
roots in more than twenty-three Latin American countries and Spain, sharing a common cultural heritage and
language. The term Latino emerged in the 80s as a self-given name, particularly in urban settings. This
broadening of identity as Hispanics/Latinos was encouraged by robust immigration from Latin America
during the ’80s and ’90s. Yet today, most Hispanics/Latinos still identify with their nation of origin, for
example, and prefer to call themselves Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, etc.
The roots of the Hispanic/Latino presence in the U.S. go back to
colonial times when most of the country’s southern flank was
under Spanish rule. The first Mass celebrated in what is now the
U.S. took place in 1569 in St. Augustine, Florida, under Spanish
auspices. The Hispanic/Latino presence took on a whole new
dimension in the 1840s with the annexation of half of Mexico’s
territory to the United States as a result of the Mexican-American
War. The new border crossed entire populations from big and
small towns, as the Mexican-American presence was born in what
is now the American West and Southwest. In 1898 the Spanish-
American War led to the annexation of Puerto Rico, adding its
population to the growing number of U.S. citizens of Hispanic/
Latino descent.
The second part of the twentieth century saw a new wave of
Hispanic/Latino immigrants come to the United States from
Mexico, Central America and South America. In the early 1940s
the U.S. and Mexico established the “Bracero Program.” This program brought thousands of Mexican
nationals to work in agriculture. The demand for workers also brought a significant number of Puerto Ricans
to the Northeast region. The ’60s saw a massive immigration of Cuban refugees as a result of the Cuban
Revolution. The ’70s and ’80s witnessed significant immigration from Central America due to civil wars
ravaging places like El Salvador and Guatemala. During the ’90s many Latin American countries experienced
a severe economic crisis. Growing Fact of Faith unemployment and high inflation rates forced nationals from
practically every Latin American nation to migrate north in search for better economic opportunities.
Immigration from Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru was particularly high during those years.

El Veintiséis de Septiembre de 2021 El Vigésimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Comportamientos que importan
El discipulado cristiano no se trata solo de lo que decimos o de las palabras que usamos. Más importante aún, se
trata de cómo estamos llamados a actuar, especialmente unos hacia otros. Este es el enfoque de las lecturas de hoy.
Tanto Números como Marcos nos recuerdan que el discipulado cristiano no se trata de pertenecer a un grupo
selecto o de ser más privilegiados o mejores que otros que no pertenecen a nuestro "círculo". Tanto Josué como Juan
asumieron erróneamente que aquellos que no formaban parte del círculo íntimo de compañeros de Moisés y Jesús (los
setenta o los Doce) estaban de alguna manera en competencia con y se oponían al Espíritu de Dios. Por el contrario,
Moisés y Jesús estaban encantados de que otros hubieran recibido el Espíritu, para que ellos también pudieran ser profe-
tas que edificaran al pueblo de Dios y su Reino. ¿Crees que voy a ponerme celoso? Ojalá que todo el pueblo de Dios
fuera profeta, y descendiera sobre todos ellos el espíritu del Señor, exclama Moisés. [N]o hay ninguno que haga mila-
gros en mi nombre, que luego sea capaz de hablar mal de mí. Todo aquél que no está contra nosotros, está a nuestro fa-
vor, proclama Jesús.
El Espíritu de Dios no puede ser acorralado por ninguna convención humana, ni puede ser reclamado como la
posesión exclusiva de unos pocos privilegiados. Dios no puede ser puesto en una caja. Más bien, el Espíritu sopla donde
el Espíritu quiera. Es más libre y menos convencional de lo que cualquier humano puede imaginar. Las actitudes o com-
portamientos que pretenden limitar la presencia o el poder del Espíritu deben ser rechazados, especialmente por el cris-
tiano, que reconoce humildemente que todas las manifestaciones del Espíritu son obra de un Dios amoroso y magnánimo
para el beneficio de todos. El discipulado cristiano, por lo tanto, entiende que el Espíritu es un don inmerecido de Dios,
quien lo da generosamente a cualquiera que lo acepte y lo use para edificar su Reino. Todo aquél que les dé un vaso de
agua por el hecho de que son de Cristo … no se quedará sin recompensa.
El Espíritu se confiere a los cristianos en nuestro bautismo y confirmación: en nuestro bautismo, cuando somos
ungidos Sacerdote, Profeta y Rey; en nuestra confirmación, cuando somos sellados con el don del Espíritu Santo. Todos
los que reciben el don del Espíritu se convierten en profetas cuya misión es llevar el mensaje de Dios al mundo. Esta es
la tarea de todos los cristianos, no sólo de los sacerdotes y religiosos.
El Espíritu permite al profeta prestar atención a la difícil situación de la humanidad, sin encontrar nada pequeño
o trivial sobre el bien y el mal. La obra del profeta es desenmascarar los ídolos del presente, tanto en su propia vida co-
mo en la vida de la comunidad -- ídolos como la adicción al dinero, el poder, la necesidad de controlar todo sobre su pro-
pia vida y la vida de los demás, la adoración de sí mismo, la explotación implacable y despiadada de nuestra casa co-
mún, e indiferencia ante la difícil situación de los demás. El profeta impulsado por el Espíritu nos recuerda que todos
somos pecadores, pero también proclama y modela el remedio al pecado a través de la fidelidad a Dios y la alianza de
Dios con nosotros en Cristo Jesús.
Este es también el comportamiento que Marcos y Santiago invocan de los cristianos. Marcos nos insta a refle-
xionar sobre nuestros comportamientos que conducen al pecado o hacen que otros pequen, que nos impiden a nosotros u
otros entrar en el Reino de Dios, que nos hacen a nosotros u otros abandonar la fe en Dios. Marcos nos exhorta a elimi-
nar tales comportamientos de nuestras vidas, de manera tan completa y decisiva como si estuviéramos amputando una
extremidad enferma o arrancándonos un ojo canceroso. Santiago identifica algunos de estos comportamientos ofensivos
que fueron ocasiones para el pecado en su comunidad: la búsqueda obsesiva de la riqueza por su propio bien y el maltra-
to arrogante de los trabajadores. Nuestras propias vidas y nuestra sociedad secular también tienen sus comportamientos
pecaminosos únicos que necesitan ser erradicados. La tarea del profeta impulsado por el Espíritu es identificar estos
comportamientos, dondequiera que existan, y, por el amor misericordioso y la gracia de Dios, transformarlos. Nuestra
preocupación ya no debería ser acumular nuestra riqueza o usar nuestros dones dados por Dios para beneficiarnos solos
a nosotros mismos -- ese comportamiento pertenece a ladrones y asesinos y solo conduce a la podredumbre y la corro-
sión. Más bien, nuestra riqueza y otros dones deben ser utilizados libremente para el bien común, para edificar el Reino
de Dios y para dar la bienvenida al extranjero.
Marcos, Números y Santiago nos invitan a reflexionar sobre nuestro comportamiento como discípulos de Jesús.
Nos animan a reconocer humildemente y estar agradecidos por cada manifestación del Espíritu de Dios, incluso entre
aquellos que no son parte de nuestro propio círculo o que no pertenecen al grupo de élite. Nos exhortan a ser hacedores
de la Palabra, no simplemente oyentes, y a usar nuestros talentos y dones para el beneficio de los necesitados y de la co-
munidad cristiana en general. Nos recuerdan que debemos reflexionar constantemente sobre nuestros propios comporta-
mientos y los de nuestra sociedad secular y erradicar despiadadamente aquellos que nos causan o llevan a otros al peca-
do. Sobre todo, nos recuerdan que los mandatos del Señor alegran el corazón.
Bendiciones, P. Chris 9
Vacúnese para proteger su salud y la de su comunidad
En colaboración con los sistemas de salud católicos y Caridades Católicas a
lo largo del Estado Dorado, los Obispos Católicos de California instan a
todos los californianos a vacunarse para evitar que siga propagándose la
mortal pandemia de COVID-19, que ha cobrado la vida de más de dos
millones de personas en todo el mundo.
Como ha dicho la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe del Vaticano, las vacunas ahora
disponibles y ofrecidas (Pϐizer y Moderna) y las que actualmente están en proceso de
aprobación/prueba (AstraZeneca y Johnson & Johnson) son moralmente permisibles y pueden
ser utilizadas en buena conciencia.
Más allá de la simple protección de su propia salud y seguridad, los católicos también tienen la
obligación de proteger a su familia, sus amigos y su comunidad vacunándose tan pronto como
sea posible de acuerdo con las directrices y protocolos de salud pública de su zona. Uno siempre
debe consultar con su médico sobre cualquier preocupación médica personal.

GREAT REASONS to Patronize the
5 Merchants in Our Church Bulletin!
1. They support the work of our church.
2. It keeps money in our community. For every $100 spent at a
locally owned business, $68 goes back into the community
and your tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store,
only $43 comes back. Online purchases bring nothing
back to our local community.
3. Keeps our community unique. Where we shop, where
we eat and have fun—all of it makes our community
home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part
of the distinctive character of our community.
4. Creates more good jobs. Small local
businesses are the largest employer
nationally and in our community.
5. Get better service. Local businesses
often hire people with a better
understanding of the products
they are selling and take more time
to get to know customers.
