Las lecturas de hoy tratan sobre la corrección fraterna. Somos responsables por el bien de nuestro hermano, y Dios espera que le ayudemos. Esto significa ser un buen ejemplo y mantenerlo a un estándar del evangelio. Si eso significa una dosis dura de la verdad, que así sea, siempre y cuando esa verdad se da en el amor. Ezequiel era un profeta que sabía predicar fuego y azufre, pero también podía ser tierno y compasivo. Él profetizó acerca de la destrucción de Israel y cómo Yahweh convertiría sus corazones de piedra en carne. En el fresco de Miguel Ángel en el techo de la Capilla Sixtina, la fuerza de este profeta es evidente. Que Eze-quiel se volvió para escuchar a un querubín dice mucho sobre su humildad también. Dios le dijo a Ezequiel que, si no predicaba el malvado, Dios lo mantendría responsable de sus muertes. Sin embargo, si predicaba y malvado todavía no le prestó atención, Ezequiel sería seguro. La moral es, cuando Dios nos pide predicar, ¡tómalo en serio! Jesús nos dice que si nuestro hermano peca contra nosotros, debemos enfrentarlo en presencia de dos testigos. Incluso nos anima a traer la Iglesia como juez si una disputa entre creyentes no se resuelve. Sin embargo, esto siempre debe hacerse con amor.Como cristianos humildes, debemos aceptar las correcciones cuando se hacen correctamente. A nadie le gusta que le digan que él o ella está equivocada, pero si lo somos, debemos alegrarnos en la verdad, aunque duela. Y debemos agradecer a aquellos que nos aman lo suficiente para corregirnos.

Correcting Lovingly

T oday’s readings are about fraternal correction. We are responsible for our

brother’s good, and God expects us to help him. This means being a good example and holding him or her to a gospel standard. If that means a hard dose of the truth, so be it, as long as that truth is given in love.

Ezekiel was a prophet who knew how to preach fire and brimstone, but he could also be tender and compassionate. He prophesied both about the destruction of Israel and how Yahweh would turn their hearts of stone into flesh. In Michelangelo’s fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the strength of this rugged prophet is evident. That Ezekiel is turned to listen to a cherub says a lot about his humility as well.

God told Ezekiel that if he didn’t preach to the wicked, God would hold him responsible for their deaths. However, if he did preach and the wicked still didn’t heed him, Ezekiel would be safe. The moral is, when God asks us to preach, take it seriously!

Jesus tells us if our brother sins against us, we should confront him in the presence of two witnesses. He even encourages us to bring the Church in as judge if a dispute between believers isn’t resolved. However, this should always be done with love.

As humble Christians, we should accept corrections when they are done correctly. No one likes to be told he or she is wrong, but if we are we should rejoice in the truth, even if it hurts. And we should thank those who love us enough to correct us.

—Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

September 10, 2017Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)Ez 33:7–9Rom 13:8–10Mt 18:15–20

“The commandments…are summed up in this saying, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself ’ ” (Romans 13:9).

For ReflectionDo I find the idea of charitable correction uncomfortable? Why or why not? How willing am I to receive correction from my peers? My spouse? My child? My boss?

I want my children to be merciful and forgiving like Jesus, but I don’t want them to be permissive of sin because someone else thinks it’s OK. How can I teach this balance?

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “Education in the faith byparents should begin in the child’s earliest years. This already happens

when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel” (CCC 2226). The balance of advocating the magnitude of God’s mercy without diminishing the severity of sin is best taught through witness.

You should hold your children accountable (and vice versa) and explain with loving candor how lax attitudes and actions have consequences. As we are taught in Proverbs 27:5, “Better is an open rebuke than a love that remains hidden.”

An intimate relationship with God also helps. It’s easier to instill greater compassion in ourselves and in others when we’ve experienced God’s infinite mercy firsthand. Jesus asked the woman caught in adultery, “‘Has no one condemned you?’ She replied, ‘No one, sir.’ Then Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin any more’” (John 8:10–11).

Christ loves the sinner and despises the sin—but he doesn’t dwell on the sin. Instead, Jesus rejoices when sinners enter a newfound relationship with his merciful Father, knowing that the experience of God’s mercy is the catalyst for ultimate change and lasting conversion, where neither the sinner is condemned nor the sin condoned.

A Word From Pope Francis“If you are not capable of performing fraternal reproof with love, with charity, in truth and with humility, you will offend, damage that person’s heart: you will create an extra tale that wounds and you will become a blind hypocrite, as Jesus says...a sign which perhaps can help us: when one sees something wrong and feels that he should correct it but perceives a certain pleasure in doing so, then it is time

to pay attention, because that is not the Lord’s way. In the Lord there is always the cross, the difficulty of doing something good.”

—Morning meditation, “Mending holes in the fabric of the church,” September 12, 2014

Gospel

In  the  Gospel  of  Ma/hew,  chapter  4,  verse  19  Jesus  says,  “Come  and  Follow  meand  I  will  make  you  Fishers  of  Men”.      What  does  it  mean  to  be  a  “Fisher  of  Men”?  We  are  all  called  by  our  BapHsm  to  conHnue  to  spread  the  word  of  God,and  live  as  God  calls  us  to.    This  includes  living  our  faith,  sharing  our  stories,  and  being  Christ  like  to  those  we  encounter,  and  hopefully  by  our  example  bring  themcloser  in  their  relaHonship  with  Christ.

There  is  a  worldwide  movement  known  as  Cursillo.    Cursillo  is  defined  as  a  Shortcourse  in  ChrisHanity”.    It  was  started  in  1944  in  Majorca  Spain,  and  came  to  North  America  in  1961.    It  is  very  large  and  acHve  in  the  Diocese  of  Oakland,  withprobably  close  to  100  of  your  fellow  parishioners  having  made  their  own  Cursillo  weekend.  

Cursillo  is  a  three  day  weekend,  starHng  on  a  Thursday  night,  and  ending  onSunday  aUernoon.    It  is  a  weekend  of  prayer,  reflecHng  on  your  relaHonship  withChrist,  and  also  your  relaHonship  with  yourself,  and  sharing  your  stories  withothers.      I  can’t  say  that  it  will  make  you  be/er  at  anything,  but  I  can  guarantee  you  without  a  doubt,  that  it  will  change  you  as  a  person,  and  definitely  change  your  relaHonship  with  God.  

Cursillo  is  for  men  and  women  both,  but  each  making  their  weekend  separately.There  are  upcoming  weekends  in  October  for  each.    The  men’s  weekend  is  Oct.  5-­‐8  and  the  women’s,  Oct.  19-­‐22.    If  you  would  like  more  informaHon  about  this  incredible  journey,  please  feel  free  to  contact  me  for  the  men’s  weekend,  or  Lety  Arechiga  in  the  parish  office  about  the  women’s.    You  will  not  be  disappointed.
