MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO
         ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS
           PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA
                      26 de septiembre 2021
                 26º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

      Hoy encontramos en la Liturgia detalles específicos de la
      paciencia y pedagogía de Dios con su pueblo. La realidad
      que pasaba el pueblo en la vida del desierto, es algo
      muy parecido a la existencia humana de la sociedad de
      hoy. ¿Quién profetiza? ¿Quién tiene la autoridad para
      hablar del Señor? ¡Celo apostólico, o envidia! Josué pide
      a Moisés que Eldad y Medad no fueran catequistas, o
      evangelizadores por decirlo así. Pero el Espíritu de Dios
      estaba en ellos --- como lo está ahora en todo bautiza-
      do. La respuesta de Moisés fue la siguiente: “Ojalá que
      todo el pueblo de Yavé fuera profeta, que Yavé les diera
      a todos su espíritu” (Números 11:29).

      En una de sus tantas catequesis, el Papa Francisco lo
      explica así: “De buena fe, con celo, se quisiera proteger
      la autenticidad de una cierta experiencia, tutelando al
      fundador o al líder de falsos imitadores. Pero al mismo
      tiempo está como el temor de la competencia, que al-
      guno pueda robar nuevos seguidores, y entonces no se
      logra apreciar el bien que los otros hacen; no va bien
      porque no es de los nuestros, se dice (9/30/2018). Por el
      otro lado, la respuesta de Jesús a Juan es similar a la de
      Josué y del Papa: “No se lo prohíban, ya que nadie pue-
      de hacer un milagro en mi nombre y luego hablar mal de
      mí. El que no está contra nosotros está con noso-
      tros” (Marcos 9:39-40). Actuar, hacer todo en nombre
      de Jesús, implica solo una cosa: fidelidad a su mensaje
      de amor, paz y justicia. Todo lo que se ha hecho, en este
      tiempo de pandemia, por amor a los demás es ser gene-
      rosos al estilo de Jesús.

                                                   Saint Vincent de Paul
                                            Saint of the Day for September 27
                                               (1580 - September 27, 1660)
Saint Vincent de Paul's Story
The deathbed confession of a dying servant opened Vincent de Paul’s eyes to the crying spiritual needs of the peasantry of France. This
seems to have been a crucial moment in the life of the man from a small farm in Gascony, France, who had become a priest with little
more ambition than to have a comfortable life.
The Countess de Gondi—whose servant he had helped—persuaded her husband to endow and support a group of able and zealous
missionaries who would work among poor tenant farmers and country people in general. Vincent was too humble to accept leadership
at first, but after working for some time in Paris among imprisoned galley slaves, he returned to be the leader of what is now known as
the Congregation of the Mission, or the Vincentians. These priests, with vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability, were to
devote themselves entirely to the people in smaller towns and villages.
Later, Vincent established confraternities of charity for the spiritual and physical relief of the poor and sick of each parish. From these,
with the help of Saint Louise de Marillac, came the Daughters of Charity, “whose convent is the sickroom, whose chapel is the parish
church, whose cloister is the streets of the city.” He organized the rich women of Paris to collect funds for his missionary projects,
founded several hospitals, collected relief funds for the victims of war, and ransomed over 1,200 galley slaves from North Africa. He
was zealous in conducting retreats for clergy at a time when there was great laxity, abuse, and ignorance among them. He was a pio-
neer in clerical training and was instrumental in establishing seminaries.
Most remarkably, Vincent was by temperament a very irascible person—even his friends admitted it. He said that except for the grace
of God he would have been “hard and repulsive, rough and cross.” But he became a tender and affectionate man, very sensitive to the
needs of others.
Pope Leo XIII made him the patron of all charitable societies. Outstanding among these, of course, is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul,
founded in 1833 by his admirer Blessed Frédéric Ozanam.
Reflection
The Church is for all God’s children, rich and poor, peasants and scholars, the sophisticated and the simple. But obviously the greatest
concern of the Church must be for those who need the most help—those made helpless by sickness, poverty, ignorance, or cruelty.
Vincent de Paul is a particularly appropriate patron for all Christians today, when hunger has become starvation, and the high living of
the rich stands in more and more glaring contrast to the physical and moral degradation in which many of God’s children are forced to
live.
