SAINT TERESA OF JESUS (1515-1582) October 15

Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you. Gifted with a passionate spirit, young Teresa dreamed of converting Muslims and becoming a martyr. All things are passing; God never changes.

But her mother’s death when Teresa was fourteen inspired lifelong devotion to Our Lady, and Teresa entered the Carmelites, Mary’s order, despite her father’s objections and her own fragile health. Patience gains everything. Initially, she enjoyed her lax convent’s sociability and “busyness,” but mystical prayer and John of the Cross’s collaboration inspired her to reform the Carmelites. Whoever has God, lacks nothing. When her ideals encountered resistance and brought suffering, she maintained her peace-—and humor. Discovered devouring leftovers, she told her mildly scandalized nuns, “When I fast, I fast! When I eat, I eat!” To nuns demanding less work and more prayer in the convent schedule, she retorted: “What we really need around here are fewer starry eyes and more strong arms!” God alone is enough! The italicized sentences here are her “Breviary Bookmark,” the simple, profound prayer of Teresa, the first woman Doctor of the Church.

T - S O T

I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

— Philippians 4:13

The Little Ones Jim Burrows

GOD REVEALED TO THE NATIONS. What wonderful images we have today of the reign of God!

Isaiah speaks to us of a great feast—a heavenly feast—a feast of abundance with rich foods and choice wines. It is the Lord’s own affair, Isaiah explains, when God will unite all nations, dry every tear, and destroy death forever. Then, too, will the entire earth rejoice in the Lord and bask in God’s saving grace.

Jesus speaks of heaven in terms of a feast as well. Here, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king’s wedding feast given for his son. This is a feast of abundance also, with the fattened cattle prepared just so. But many of the people invited don’t want to come, so the king invites anyone who would honor his son by their presence there.

And Paul tells us that whether we live abundantly or in humble circumstances, we can do all things in the Lord who strengthens us.

SANTA TERESA DE ÁVILA (1515-1582) 15 de octubre

Teresa nació en Ávila, España, en una familia rica y de fe profunda.

A los siete años quería ser mártir por amor a Dios. No obstante, a los 12 soñaba con el amor y el romance para su vida, pero unos años después, la muerte de su madre y una enfermedad le hicieron cambiar. A los 20 años se hizo carmelita y 18 años después, debido a la comodidad de la vida de monasterio, apoyada en una visión mística, consideró necesaria una reforma. Bajo la llamada de Dios y la ayuda de su director espiritual, san Juan de la Cruz, junto con otras dieciséis hermanas emprendió la reforma de la Orden Carmelita formando una comunidad más estricta en la que se vivía en absoluta pobreza, se comía del trabajo fruto de la costura, se vivía en oración y se dormía en petates. Siendo superiora fue inigualable en el amor y el servicio a la comunidad. Sus escritos, así como su experiencia mística, fueron profundos. Para ella, “sóén juez, gobernador y,a Orden coffice to arrange a metting at a timea few moments of your busy shedule fooor me. observation, alo Dios basta”, nada más. Fue la primera mujer en ser declarada Doctora de la Iglesia.

maravillosas imágenes tenemos hoy del Reino de Dios!

Isaías nos habla de un gran banquete –un banquete celestial– una fiesta con abundancia de platillos suculentos y vinos exquisitos. Es una celebración del mismo Señor, explica Isaías, cuando Dios unirá a todas las naciones, secará toda lágrima, y destruirá la muerte para siempre. Entonces, también, la tierra entera se regocijará en el Señor y se deleitará en la gracia salvadora de Dios.

Jesús, asimismo, habla del Cielo en términos de una fiesta. Aquí, el Reino de los cielos es como el banquete de bodas que el rey ofrece para su hijo. Es también un festín de abundancia, donde ofrece terneros gordos. Pero muchos de los invitados no quieren asistir, así que el rey invita a cualquiera que quiera honrar a su hijo con su presencia. Y Pablo nos dice que sea que vivamos en la abundancia o en circunstancias humildes, todo lo podemos en el Señor que nos fortalece.

Los Más Pequeños Jim Burrows

El Señor de los ejércitos preparará en este monte

para todos los pueblos un banquete de manjares

suculentos, un banquete de vino añejo, pedazos

escogidos con tuétano, y vino añejo refinado. Is 25:6

¿Está seguro de su cuidador?

Muchas familias se ven limitadas durante esta pandemia y pueden depender del cuidado de los niños en diferentes lugares y por distintas personas: miembros de la familia, intercambios de vecindarios o atención en el hogar. Cada vez que deje a su hijo al cuidado de otra persona, asegúrese de hacer su debida diligencia sobre la seguridad del cuidador. Básicamente, debe confiar en que el cuidador es una persona segura: solicite referencias, realice entrevistas, inspeccione los espacios físicos donde su hijo jugará, dormirá y comerá. Hable sobre el nivel y el tipo de supervisión que su hijo necesita para asegurarse de que el cuidador comprenda lo que usted espera, según la edad y el nivel de actividad de su hijo. También puede ser importante considerar si el cuidador puede cuidar física y emocionalmente a su hijo. Por ejemplo, es posible que los miembros mayores de la familia no puedan seguir a niños pequeños enérgicos durante un día completo.

Pese a que sienta que sus opciones son limitadas, la seguridad de su hijo es muy importante.

Is your caregiver safe?

Many families are stretched thin during this pandemic and may be relying on childcare from different places

— family members, neighborhood swaps, or in-home care. Any time you leave your child in someone else’s care, make sure you do your due diligence on the safety of the caregiver. Fundamentally, you must trust the caregiver is a safe person –ask for references, conduct interviews, survey the physical space(s) where your child will be playing, sleeping, eating. Discuss the level and kind of supervision your child needs to be sure the caregiver understands what you expect, given your child’s age(s) and activity level(s). It may also be important to consider whether the caregiver is able to physically and emotionally care for your child? For example, older family members may not be able to chase energetic young children for a full day. Even if it feels like your options are limited, your child’s safety is critical.
