O God, who show the light of your truth to those who go astray, so that they may return to the right path, give all who for the faith they profess are accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all that does it honor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Roman Missal

Wisdom is precisely this: To see the world, to see situations, circumstances, problems, everything through God’s eyes. Pope Francis

Avoid a Throwaway Culture with guidance from Pope Francis

1. Responsible Consumption: Everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts.

2. Culture of Solidarity: We must never allow the throwaway culture to enter our hearts, because we are brothers and sisters. No one is disposable.

3. Culture of Encounter: A person dying is not news. But, if the stock markets drop 10 points, it is a tragedy! Thus people are disposed of as if they were trash.

4. Life in Balance: Do not bury your talents! Set your stakes on great ideals, the ideals that enlarge the heart, the ideals of service that make your talents fruitful.

Food for the Hungry

Deepening Our Faith Today we are all farmers. The first reading, psalm, and Gospel all offer us farming metaphors. As the first reading speaks of God’s word going forth, the Gospel speaks of how God’s word is received. As Jesus says, “Whoever has ears ought to hear.” So let us reflect on the lavishness of God’s love, tossing seeds everywhere, greatly increasing the chance that some will take root and transform the world. Let us be receptive soil today! What kind of soil have I been this past week? How can I become better soil this week?

Crecimiento en la Fé Hoy todos somos agricultores. La primera lectura, el salmo y el Evangelio nos ofrecen metáforas relacionadas con la agricultura. Y mientras que la primera lectura nos habla de la palabra que sale de la boca de Dios, el Evangelio nos dice cómo es recibida esa palabra de Dios. Como dice Jesús: “El que tenga oídos, que oiga”. Reflexionemos, por tanto, en la extravagancia del amor de Dios, que arroja semillas por todas partes aumentando de gran manera la posibilidad de que algunas echen raíces y transformen el mundo. ¡Seamos hoy una tierra fecunda! ¿Qué clase de terreno he sido la semana pasada cuando el Divino Sembrador trató de sembrar el evangelio en mi corazón? ¿De qué manera pudiera convertirme en mejor terreno esta semana?
