Sacred Heart Catholic Church Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time–September 24, 2017

Reflection from the Pastor:

Last Thursday, the Church celebrated the feast of St. Matthew, one of the

twelve apostles and the author of one of the Gospels. At the beginning of his

life, St. Matthew was a tax collector. Nobody likes to pay taxes, but at that

time, tax collectors were especially

disliked because they were allowed

to charge the rate they wanted in

addition to the amount set by the

government. Tax collectors could

become very wealthy at the expense

of other people. Religious people in

those days excluded publicans from participating in the community. The great

novelty of Jesus was to invite sinners to repent and re-enter the community.

Jesus invites us to turn away from our sins and to love Him in truth, not just

in words. Will not you respond to Jesus' invitation today?

Meditación del Párroco: El jueves pasado, la Iglesia celebró la fiesta de San Mateo, uno de los doce apóstoles y autor de uno de los

Evangelios. Al comienzo de su vida, San Mateo era un recaudador de impuestos. A nadie le gusta pagar

impuestos, pero en aquel tiempo, los recaudadores de impuestos eran especialmente desagradable porque se les

permitió cobrar la tasa que querían, además de la cantidad fijada por el gobierno. Los recaudadores de impuestos

podrían llegar a ser muy ricos a expensas de otras personas. La gente religiosa en esos días excluyó a los

publicanos de participar en la comunidad. La gran novedad de Jesús fue invitar a los pecadores a arrepentirse y

volver a entrar en la comunidad. Jesús nos invita a arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y amarlo en verdad, no sólo

con palabras. ¿No responderás a la invitación de Jesús hoy?
