September 1, 2019 HUMILITY
H umility is a virtue we don’t see much in our times. It seems that bragging, swaggering, and arrogance dominate our fashion for everything and our
T he readings today center on mindfulness, awareness of where we stand in God’s plan. The mountain of Sinai carries a mes-sage of the majesty
and distance of God, while Jesus’ presence as host of the banquet speaks of intimacy and mystery. September’s shadow calls us all to mindful-ness as we prepare to return to life outside of summer. The Christian life holds these two places of knowledge of God in careful balance. Even in the accounts of the Passion we see the table of the upper room in balance with the Mount of Olives. Altar means “high place,” yet it is also a table. The former liturgy of the Latin Rite began with the priest bowing at the foot of the altar’s three steps, chanting Introibo ad altare Dei, or “I will go to the altar of God,” followed by the altar servers’ response, “The God who gives joy to my youth.” Many parishioners can recall and recite this scene by heart. As with so many things in liturgy, there are layers of meaning in our worship. The altar table evokes memories of the high places once

LA HUMILDAD
L a humildad es una virtud que no vemos mucho en estos días. Parece que la vanidad, la pre-potencia y la arro-
P or esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popu-lar entre muchos
pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al principio del mes de septiembre dos nacio-nes toman la fiesta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nues-tra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llama-dos los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempestad ellos encontraron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La ima-gen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Vir-gen de la Caridad. Milagrosamente la imagen esta-ba seca.
Primera lectura — Maneja tus asuntos con humildad (Sirácide 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Salmo — Dios da libertad y riqueza a los cautivos (Salmo 68 [67]). Segunda lectura — Te has acercado a Jesús, el me-diador de una nueva alianza (Hebreos 12:18-19, 22-24a). Evangelio — Los que se humillan serán ensalzados (Lucas 14:1, 7-14).
LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Tes 4:13-18; Sal 96 (95):1, 3-5, 11-13; Lc 4:16-30 Martes: 1 Tes 5:1-6, 9-11; Sal 27 (26):1, 4, 13- 14; Lc 4:31-37 Miércoles: Col 1:1-8; Sal 52 (51):10-11; Lc 4:38-44 Jueves: Col 1:9-14; Sal 98 (97):2-6; Lc 5:1-11 Viernes: Col 1:15-20; Sal 100 (99):1b-5; Lc 5:33- 39 Sábado: Col 1:21-23; Sal 54 (53):3-4, 6, 8; Lc 6:1- 5 Domingo: Sab 9:13-18b; Sal 90 (89):3-6, 12-17; Flm 9-10, 12-17; Lc 14:25-33
