4TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 31, 2021
The Pastor’s Corner
FROM
FR.CONNEALY
Happy Sunday!
Every now and then people ask me about books I’ve mentioned or what I’m reading. There’s so
much good literature out there I thought I’d make a list of a few different works that have been in
my book pile or rattling around my brain. Without further ado…
“From Christendom to Apostolic Mission” by University of Mary: This is easily one of the most
important books I’ve been reading recently. It’s a 90 page essay assessing our current time and
discussing strategies to engage a culture that has become disengaged with Christianity. One of
the principal points in the book is the need to “awaken the Catholic imaginative vision”, or we
might say, to recapture a Sacramental vision of the world. This is to say, to truly look at the
world we live in with the eyes of faith, to see the Church as a divine institution that has the
solution to human ills and not as another political institution in need of keeping up with the
times.
“Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl: Written in nine days in October of 1945, Frankl’s
memoirs from his time at Auschwitz are incredibly powerful and relevant to our own time. A
Jewish psychologist from Vienna, he was sent to the concentration camps with his family and
was the only one to survive. He writes that while the Nazis were able to strip him of many
freedoms, they could never control his attitude. He could always choose how to see the world
and live with purpose, even in the darkest situations.
“Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word” by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis: This three volume commentary
on the Gospel according to St. Matthew is the best I know. You’ve likely heard me mention this
tongue twister of a name. Each volume is over 700 pages but filled with great depth and
richness. It has helped to deepen my own spiritual life and relationship with Jesus Christ. Each
section of the book is punctuated with the Hebrew letter aleph in order to remind the reader to
pause and reflect more deeply on the Word of God.
I pray everyone has a great week. Know of my prayers for you and your families.
Christ’s peace,
Fr. Connealy

4TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JANUARY 31, 2021
LA ESQUINA DEL PASTOR
DE
PADRE CONNEALY
Feliz domingo!
De vez en cuando, la gente me pregunta sobre los libros que he mencionado o lo que estoy leyendo.
Hay tanta buena literatura por ahí que pensé en hacer una lista de algunas obras diferentes que han
estado en mi pila de libros o dando vueltas por mi cerebro. Sin más preámbulos…
"De la cristiandad a la misión apostólica" por la Universidad de María: este es fácilmente uno de los
libros más importantes que he estado leyendo recientemente. Es un ensayo de 90 páginas que
evalúa nuestro tiempo actual y discute estrategias para involucrar a una cultura que se ha
desvinculado de El cristianismo. Uno de los puntos principales del libro es la necesidad de
"despertar la visión imaginativa católica", o podríamos decir, de recuperar una visión sacramental
del mundo. Es decir, mirar verdaderamente el mundo en que vivimos. con los ojos de la fe, ver a la
Iglesia como una institución divina que tiene la solución a los males humanos y no como una
institución política más que necesita adaptarse a los tiempos.
"La búsqueda del hombre por el significado" de Viktor Frankl: Escrito en nueve días en octubre de
1945, las memorias de Frankl de su tiempo en Auschwitz son increíblemente poderosas y relevantes
para nuestro propio tiempo. Un psicólogo judío de Viena, fue enviado a los campos de
concentración con su familia y fue el único que sobrevivió. Escribe que si bien los nazis pudieron
despojarlo de muchas libertades, nunca pudieron controlar su actitud. Siempre podía elegir cómo
ver el mundo y vivir con un propósito, incluso en las situaciones más oscuras.
“Fuego de misericordia, corazón de la palabra” de Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis: Este comentario de tres
volúmenes sobre el Evangelio según San Mateo es lo mejor que conozco. Es probable que me hayas
escuchado mencionar este trabalenguas de un nombre. Cada volumen tiene más de 700 páginas,
pero está lleno de gran profundidad y riqueza. Ha ayudado a profundizar mi propia vida espiritual y
mi relación con Jesucristo. Cada sección del libro está marcada con la letra hebrea aleph para
recordarle al lector que haga una pausa y reflexione más profundamente en la Palabra de Dios.
Oro para que todos tengan una gran semana. Conozca mis oraciones por usted y su familia.
La paz de Cristo,
P. Connealy
