WEEKLY HOMILY / HOMILÍA SEMANAL
Fourteenth Sunday OT/Decimo Cuarto Domingo TO, Ciclo C
Today we hear about how Jesus sent out his disciples with this mission: to bring in the
great harvest of souls. The only instruction he gave them was to take nothing with them and
accept whatever hospitality people offered. He was asking them to step out in faith. Mother
Angelica once spoke about what stepping out means. As he sent out the disciples, Jesus told
them to say, "The Kingdom of God is at hand." It is important for us to ask: What exactly is
the Kingdom of God? In his book Jesus of Nazareth, Pope Benedict gives an in-depth analysis
of that phrase. "When Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of God, he is quite simply proclaiming
God, and proclaiming him to be the living God, who is able to act concretely in the world and
in history and is even now so acting."
God wants us to place our lives in his hands. This Sunday Jesus asks us to trust God and
to remember our purpose: to help bring in the great harvest of souls. It is so easy to get bogged
down and forget why we are here. Our purpose is to come to God and to bring others with us.
I have known people who started out great, but then got discouraged when things didn't go the
way they expected. They gave up the work of the Kingdom and crawled into a shell. There's a
lesson for us. We have a goal: to share in Jesus victory. Now is the time for the great harvest
of souls. We want to be part of that harvest and bring others into it. May nothing keep us from
that purpose. The Kingdom of God is at hand. May God Bless you all.
Hoy escuchamos como Jesús envío sus discípulos con esta misión: anunciar el Reino de
Dios y recoger la gran cosecha de almas. Las única instrucción que les dio era de no llevar
nada y aceptar la hospitalidad que le gente ofreciera. Les pido arriesgarse en fe "En cada
instante, Dios esperaba que sus discípulos se arriesgar en fe, sin saber lo que iba a suceder, y
esto es donde nos fallamos hoy. Lo que mas importa es arriesgarnos con fediscípulos. Los
envío sin dinero ni mochila ni sandalias. Querría que dependieran de Dios y del pueblo de
Dios. Al enviar sus discípulos, Jesús les dijo que dijera, "Ya se acerca el Reino de Dios." Es
importante preguntarnos: Que exactamente es el Reino de Dios? En su libro Jesús de Nazaret,
"Cuando Jesús habla del Reino de Dios, esta proclamando Dios, y proclamándolo como el
Dios vivo, que puede actuar concretamente en el mundo y en la historia y que aun ahora esta
actuando así."
Dios quiere que pongamos nuestras vidas en sus manos. Este domingo Jesús no pide
poner nuestra confianza en Dios y recordar nuestro propósito: ayudar en recoger la gran
cosecha de almas. Es fácil olvidarnos porque estamos aquí. Nuestro propósito es ir a Dios y
llevar otros con nosotros. He conocido a personas que comenzaron bien, pero se desanimaron
cuando las cosas no fueron como esperaban. Dejan el trabajo de Reino y forman un
caparazón. Eso es lo que tu y yo debemos hacer. Recordar nuestra meta: participar en la
victoria de Jesús. Ahora es el tiempo para la gran cosecha de almas. Queremos ser parte de esa
cosecha. Que nada nos desvíe de ese propósito. Ya se acerca el Reino de Dios. Que Dios los
Bendiga.

PEACE
The greeting of peace at Mass adds substance to a message of today's readings: peace is relational. When we greet in peace the person near us at Mass, we share the touch of a handshake or embrace, sincere eye contact, and friendly words.
The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first reading from Isaiah describes the peace of the holy city, Jerusalem, a place of prosperity and comfort where the "LORD's power shall be known to his servants" (Isaiah 66:14c).
The Christian understanding of peace changes slightly. Paul writes of the "peace and mercy" on all who are created anew. Jesus describes a feeling of peace that will rest on those who accept his disciples and their message.
Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal blessing. May we always and sincerely bring peace to our own lives as we share it with others.

GRACIAS

LA PAZ
El saludo de la paz en la Misa fundamenta un mensaje de las lecturas de hoy: la paz es relacional. Cuando le damos la paz a la persona que está cerca de nosotros en la Misa, compartimos el roce de un apretón de manos o un abrazo, el contacto visual sincero y palabras amistosas.
Las Escrituras hablan de una paz similar. La primera lectura de Isaías describe la paz como la ciudad sagrada, Jerusalén, un lugar de prosperidad y de consuelo donde "Los siervos del Señor conocerán su poder".
El entendimiento cristiano de la paz cambia ligeramente. San Pablo escribe sobre "la paz y la misericordia" para todos los que son nuevas criaturas. Jesús describe un sentimiento de paz que se posará sobre los que aceptan a sus discípulos y a su mensaje.
La paz es tanto la ausencia de conflictos como una bendición personal. Que siempre y sinceramente traigamos paz a nuestras propias vidas mientras la compartimos con los demás.
