News From The Streets…
“No, is an Acceptable Answer”
By Mary Martha Primerano
It can be hard to say no. But it’s a word that we may need to
learn to use, and sometimes learn to use it wisely. My husband
Walt started ministering to the homeless over 24 years ago.
We have had many people ask us how we handle giving money
to the homeless. The short answer is we don’t give money! We
choose to love them in other ways by blessing them with food,
toiletries, clothing, and of course prayer. Walt will explain that
“No, is an acceptable answer”. We do tell people to first fol-
low the Holy Spirit’s prompting. And at times, the Lord may
tell you to give money, and if it gives you great joy and peace -
please obey that voice.
Peter himself used this word “no”, when talking to a lame beg-
gar in Acts 3:3. “When he saw Peter and John about to go
into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.” Verse 4:
“But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said,
look at us!” So the man looked at them expecting to get some-
thing from them. Verse 6: “But Peter said I have no silver and
gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of
Year of St. Joseph
Nazareth, walk!”…Instantly the man’s feet and ankles were
made strong. We carry the same message of Jesus Christ to
those living on the streets. We have witnessed healings, recon-
ciliations, but most of all love and forgiveness. We carry some-
thing much more valuable than money on the inside of us, and
that is the name of Jesus - the name that is above every other
name. Jesus is the only way out of life threatening situations.
He’s the good news we share with those we minister to. Put
your hope in God. He’s your provider, you’re all in all. With-
out Him we can do nothing. The Archdiocesan website has a page

PAGINA 6 XXV DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO, CICLO B 19 DE SEPTIEMBRE DEL 2021
“ E L S E Ñ O R S O S T I E N E M I V I DA”
EL HIJO DEL HOMBRE
VA A SER ENTREGADO.
QUIEN QUIERA SER EL PRIMERO,
QUE SEA EL SERVIDOR DE TODOS.
Marcos 9,30-37.- El discurso de la maldad, desenmascarado.- Fue
siempre estrategia de la maldad esconderse; siempre fue fuerza del bien
desenmascarar a la maldad. Y eso es lo que encontramos en los textos
de la liturgia de hoy, cada uno desde su propio ángulo. En la primera
lectura está el discurso de los perversos: su altanería, su impaciencia y
su intolerancia, el cinismo de su propuesta cruel, que se apoya sólo en
sí misma. En la segunda lectura, el horizonte cambia. Santiago, la voz
ruda del Nuevo Testamento, nos obliga a asomarnos a nuestro propio
corazón y a sacar de él, como de un sótano enmohecido, las alimañas
de la codicia, la violencia y la concupiscencia. ¡Y esto entre cristianos,
porque no le escribía él a gente pagana! El evangelio de hoy, por su
parte, nos presenta en clave positiva todo este tema. Es Jesús quien
demuestra con su propia valentía, cuánto sabe del mal que se le viene
encima, y cómo lo asume con una coherencia y una capacidad de
donación de sí mismo que impresionaron a sus inmediatos discípulos y
nos impactan a nosotros.
Vencedor de la maldad, Jesucristo.- Ahor a bien, J esús no es sólo
un "denunciador" de la maldad, sino su vencedor. Mostrándonos aquel niño, indicó en qué dirección iban las
preferencias del corazón de Dios, es decir, qué corazones quería y quiere encontrar. Una y otra vez el niño se vuelve una
pregunta. El niño que muere sin alcanzar a pronunciar su propio nombre. El niño que tiene ya una pregunta y nos irrita
tal vez con su impertinencia. El niño que pide dinero en una calle. O el niño que llevamos dentro, silenciado a fuerza de
reprimirnos en tantas cosas. Por eso, "ser como niños" no es una asignatura en la que un día uno se "gradúe". Nadie se ha
"graduado" de niño. Es una actitud, es un camino, es un modo de escapar de la red haciéndose pequeño, de modo que no
haya cedazo que nos atrape.
Fr. Nelson Medina F., O.P
EL SIGNIFICADO DE SER DISCÍPULOS
La geografía del Evangelio de hoy es importante. Jesús completa su ministerio en Galilea y comienza su viaje a Jerusa-
lén, donde se encontrará con su muerte y resurrección. La predicción de su muerte que aparece aquí es la segunda de tres en
el Evangelio según San Marcos, y como de costumbre, es ocasión para una enseñanza importante de parte de Jesús. Hoy esta
lección está ligada a la necesidad de un ministerio de servicio. Un juego de palabras arameas vinculaban las palabras “niño”
y “servidor”, y por eso el gesto de Jesús de tomar “a un niño [poniéndolo] en medio de ellos” indica cómo se veía a sí mismo:
como el Siervo del Señor. Es esta misma conciencia del significado del ministerio que Jesús (y Marcos) desean inculcar en
sus discípulos. El ministerio de ellos deberá ser de servicio para que puedan seguir las huellas de Jesús. Y ese servicio podría
incluso requerir de ellos que se “entregaran” a la muerte. ¿Cuál habría sido, en la cultura del tiempo de Jesús, una conver-
sación normal sobre el estatus social (“quién es el más importante”) se convierte para Marcos en una idea clave sobre el sig-
nificado de qué es ser discípulos para sus seguidores de entonces y para nosotros.
