Reflection of the Week

All the readings on this Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time seem to address from one perspective or another the idea of “free will” as

it goes hand in hand with “God’s wisdom.” St. Paul speaks to this ongoing philosophy and discussion of “free will” more than anyone else in Holy Scripture. However, as he points out in our Second Reading from his First Letter to the Corinthians, “We speak God’s wisdom, mysterious, hidden, which God predetermined before the ages for our glory.”

In addition to St. Paul, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas wrote volumes about the issue of “free will.” The point of all of this is that on the one hand we are gifted with free will, but we must accept the reality that making the wrong moral decision has consequences. In our First Reading from the Prophet Sirach, we hear “Before man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him.” That is immediately followed by “Immense is the wisdom of the Lord.”

We do have choices throughout our lives. One of those choices is pursuing stewardship as a way of life. One can choose to be a steward or choose not to. Nevertheless, if we look at it from the point of view of God’s wisdom rather than ours, it really is not a choice at all. It is something we should and must practice. In a homily this past June, Pope Francis said, “You cannot love God without loving your brothers and sisters; in fact, you cannot love God without being an active participant in the Church.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

By the early 1950s some scholars were calling for the restoration of Communion of the faithful on Good Friday, since by then only a priest received, consuming the host from the Holy Thursday repository. In 1955 the new Good Friday liturgy was timed to begin at three o’clock everywhere, and included the option of Holy Communion, but without the Precious Blood that had originally been part of the liturgy. Today, there is increasing debate among theologians. Some feel that it would be better to fast from the Eucharist on Good Friday, focusing on the mystery of the cross and highlighting the Easter Communion. Others say that this Communion infuses the sadness of the day with awareness of Christ’s victory. It is not a day of mourning, of course, and the Passion according to John grounds the liturgy in a sense of Christ’s victory over death and the triumph of the cross. The tradition is rich and varied, and we are still in the early stages of recovering an ancient way of doing things. Why do we call the day “good”? The English and Dutch languages share this name, and its origin stems from the name “God’s Friday.” The traditional name for the day in Latin is Feria VI in Parasceve, which translates as “The Sixth Day of the Week of Preparation.” Other languages make do with “Holy Friday.” In another part of England, as in Denmark, the people used to call it “Long Friday,” a good description for a quiet day without work and no chance for play or a good meal!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

El siglo pasado en la década de los 70s, un joven mexicano cruzaba el desierto fronterizo entre México y Estados Unidos. Un sacerdote lo encontró y se ofreció a cruzarlo en su camioneta a Estados Unidos. El sacerdote le dijo que si regresaba a su tierra lo estaría esperando en Santa Ana de Guadalupe, un pequeño rancho cerca de Jalostotitlán, en la región de Los Altos de Jalisco, México. Con el tiempo, el joven regresó a México y fue en busca de su buen samaritano. Preguntando por él, la gente del pueblo lo llevó a una capilla donde se sorprendió al ver la foto de su bienhechor en la tumba de santo Toribio Romo. Muchos inmigrantes que relatan lo mismo acerca de un sacerdote o buen samaritano que rescata indocumentados en el desierto, alimentándolos, llevándolos a Estados Unidos, incluso, diciéndoles dónde encontrar trabajo. En 1928, Toribio Romo fue asesinado a la edad de 28 años durante “La Cristiana” (1926–1929). Este joven sacerdote murió a manos de un gobierno cruel que no sabia respetar los derechos humanos. Ahora como santo se dedica a ayudar a los pobres que sufren a causa de leyes inmigratorias que tampoco respetan los derechos humanos.
