Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 5, 2015
My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made
perfect in weakness.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
Mark’s Gospel account today is built on a double
astonishment or amazement: the neighbors and
family of Jesus are astonished that he taught in the
synagogue with wisdom and worked powerful signs.
Jesus, in turn, is amazed that they have no faith in
him because they know his origins, not because of
any fault with his teaching or ministry. As with many
of Mark’s passages, we get a rather intimate glimpse
here of the human part of Jesus’ two‑fold nature. To
reinforce his point, Mark tells of Jesus’ return to his
native place, and further points out that he is in the
midst of his own family members there. From the
very people he expected the most, Jesus received
the least. In the day of the Gospel’s writing, Mark was
attempting to illustrate a lesson to the house of Israel:
the God of the covenant expected the greatest faith
from the house of Israel, but often received the least.
This is a good source for reflection on our part, we
who are Jesus’ followers today. For the wisdom of
Christ to continue and for our lives to be seen as
signs of his power, he must expect and be able to
find great faith among us. Will he? Can he? Does
he? Or is he, once again, amazed by its absence?

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the sixteenth century, the Council of Trent,
which was otherwise devoted to liturgical uniformity,
was very tolerant of age‑old marriage customs. The
Council singled out “praiseworthy” customs and
hoped they would be retained. The Second Vatican
Council likewise asked for a careful evaluation of
customs, admitting that not everything about
wedding practice is “praiseworthy.” In our revised
liturgy, all of the prayers consistently stress the
equality of the partners. Some familiar customs do
not match this insight. Often, the groom remains
hidden in a sacristy while the bride, accompanied
only by her father, enters with her attendants. This is
hardly equality, especially if it appears that her
father is “giving her away” to her husband. This is a
familiar enough scene, but increasingly couples are
called to a different practice. Symbols and signs
carry and communicate meaning. The challenge for
couples today is to match the meaning to the
symbol, and for the couple to be authentic in all they
do and say on the day of their wedding. Having
bride and groom both take part fully and equally in
the entrance procession is exactly the kind of
“praiseworthy” practice we’ve been looking for!

Te basta mi gracia, porque mi poder se
manifiesta en la debelidad - 2 Corintios 12:9
FE EN JESUCRISTO
El incidente que nos cuenta san Marcos en el
Evangelio de hoy se basa en un doble asombro:
primero, los vecinos y parientes de Jesús se
asombran de verlo enseñar en la sinagoga con tanta
sabiduría, y de ver su poder para hacer milagros. Y
Jesús, a su vez, se extraña de la incredulidad de
aquella gente, que no pone su fe en él, no porque
hallen alguna falta en su enseñanza o en su
ministerio, sino porque conocen sus orígenes y su
familia. Aquí, como en muchos otros incidentes de su
Evangelio, Marcos nos deja ver un aspecto bastante
íntimo de la parte humana de la doble naturaleza de
Jesús. Para reforzar lo que quiere que veamos,
Marcos nos cuenta cómo Jesús vuelve a su pueblo,
y nos hace notar que está allí entre sus familiares. Y
de la gente de quienes más esperaba es que menos
recibe. En la época en que estaba escribiendo su
Evangelio, san Marcos trataba de enseñar una
lección muy importante para la casa de Israel, el
Dios de la Alianza esperaba encontrar la fe más
intensa en la casa de Israel, pero muchas veces allí
fue donde menos la encontró. Y es bueno que
reflexionemos sobre esto, nosotros que hoy día
somos el Pueblo de Dios. Para que la Sabiduría de
Cristo continúe en este mundo, y para que nuestras
vidas sean signos de su poder, Jesús espera hallar,
y tiene que hallar, una gran fe en nosotros. ¿La
hallará? ¿O quedará, una vez más, pasmado de
nuestra poca fe? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Según la carta a los Hebreos 6:1-2 hay seis
fundamentos de la fe cristiana. Entre ellos se
encuentra la imposición de manos. El evangelista
Marcos (6:5) nos relata que Jesús usaba la
imposición de manos para sanar a los enfermos. La
curación se realizaba mediante sus manos. Los
hispanos normalmente somos táctiles, pues
reconocemos la importancia de una caricia, de una
mano apretando la nuestra, de una palmada en el
hombro, y de otros toques de mano. Las manos
tienen el poder o la facultad de transmitir
sentimientos.
En los Hechos de los Apóstoles 8:17 y 19:6 se
nos relata que los fieles recibían el don del Espíritu
Santo mediante la imposición de manos. Los
apóstoles usaban la imposición de manos para
transmitir el Espíritu a los bautizados y para
consagrar nuevos líderes al servicio de las
comunidades cristianas (obispos o presbíteros). Al
momento del Bautismo y de la Confirmación
recibimos una imposición de manos de parte del
ministro. La imposición de manos que ha venido
desde los apóstoles, y desde más atrás, nos
relaciona a los cristianos que nos han precedido. Es
un gesto de unidad.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA FORMA DE LAS COSAS
No podemos sólo conformarnos con aquello que
nos gusta. —San Francisco de Sales
LA ESPERA
Nuestro Señor prefiere esperar al pecador durante
años que dejar al pecado esperando por un instante.
—San Pedro Julián Eymund
Que disfruten sus vacaciones del
verano, pero recuerden que eso
no quiere decir que tomamos
vacaciones de Dios y asistir a
Misa.
Los esperamos ver pronto!
