Voice of Saint Michael August 16, 2020
Today’s gospel passage may seem very strange to us and we might be surprised at the conversation between
Jesus and the Canaanite women. Perhaps a little background might be helpful. There was a great debate
going on in Matthew’s community. The debate was over the Gentiles. Could Jewish Christians and Gentiles
coexist in the same community? The gospel today answers that question and the answer is a resounding
“YES!”
A Canaanite woman, a Gentile, approaches Jesus with a request to heal her daughter. Almost shocking to us,
Jesus ignores her and reminds her that his mission was to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” or to the
Jewish people. Many Jewish Christians in Matthew’s community would want her sent away.
In most circumstances, after receiving such a negative response, the woman would have walked away. But
she did not – she persisted in her request and refers to Jesus as “Lord.” Jesus’ response is harsh, “It is not
right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” Sadly, a derogatory term for the Canaanites
was the word dog. Again rejected, the woman does not leave or lose hope she persists with her petition.
The woman’s persistent faith was victorious. Jesus granted her request and acknowledged her great faith.
The gospel passage is a reminder about the dynamics of faith – for authentic faith crosses all barriers and
embraces all people. Faith overcomes fear and it is such faith that Jesus desires.
Although this gospel answered the question whether Jewish Christians and Gentiles could coexist in the same
community, it also answers questions in our own lives. We have all watched the disturbing images last
weekend from Charlottesville, Virginia. I could not believe the hatred that I saw on the screen. This is
certainly not of God’s Spirit but of an evil spirit that is among us. As Christians, we are particularly called to
be the “leaven” that lifts society or raises society to a greater height. In Biblical times, the question was
between Gentiles and Jews, perhaps in our times it is black and white or Christian and Muslim that have to
learn to live and work together – not for the betterment of one group but for the betterment of all.
Let us pray that the Holy Spirit will come upon us to give us the courage to recognize all people as children of
God. Let us pray that all human persons be respected and celebrated as children of God. Let us pray that we
like the Canaanite women may hear the voice of Jesus say, “Great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you
wish!”
Fr. Charlie
I invite you to read Fr. Charlie’s note that follows this article. As Fr. Charlie indicates he will be taking a
leave of absence from active ministry and will be leaving St. Michael. Fr. Charlie made the request and
Cardinal Cupich granted his request. Fr. Charlie and I have spoken several times and I fully support his
decision. I support his decision because I know he did not make it lightly. He has prayed over it, sought
spiritual direction, spoken to other priests, family, friends and has made a spiritual retreat. Decisions
concerning one’s life are never easy and it takes courage and inner strength to examine your calling in life.
He will be using this leave to further discern what God is calling him to do. Fr. Charlie has made many
friends here and it is not easy to leave so I ask you to keep Fr. Charlie in your prayers.
In Christ’s love, Fr. Frank
A Note from Father Charlie
Dear People of St. Michael
I am writing to let you know that I will be taking what is called a leave of absence, which means that I will be
leaving and not returning to the Parish. Although I have appreciated ministering here at St. Michael and I am
a priest in good standing, I am choosing to do this because I need to more greatly discern what God wants for
my life. It is a very hard decision to make, but I took time to pray and think about this, and then a silent
retreat which showed me this is something I need to explore. I experienced a lot of peace and clarity in that
time and want to continue to live in and receive those graces. I am thankful to the Lord for mercifully
offering me this time. I am thankful to all of you as well for how good you have been to me and continue to
be. I love you and I am praying for you, please pray for me as well. Fr. Charlie

Voice of Saint Michael August 16, 2020
El pasaje del evangelio de hoy nos puede parecer muy extraño y puede que nos sorprenda la conversación
entre Jesús y la mujer cananea. Tal vez unos antecedentes pueden ayudar. Existía un gran debate ir a la
comunidad de Mateo. El debate era sobre los Gentiles ¿Podían coexistir en la misma comunidad los Judíos
Cristianos y los Gentiles? El evangelio de hoy responde esa pregunta y la respuesta es un resonante “SÍ”.
Una mujer cananea, un gentil, se acerca a Jesús para pedirle que sane a su hija. Casi aterrador para nosotros,
Jesús la ignora y le recuerda que su misión era para “la oveja perdida de la casa de Israel” o para a la gente
Judía. Muchos en la comunidad Judía de Mateo desearía que la despidieran.
En la mayoría de las circunstancias, después de recibir una respuesta tan negativa, la mujer se retiraría. Pero
ella no – ella persistía con su petición y se refería a Jesús como “Señor”. La respuesta de Jesús es dura, “No
está bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echárselo a los perritos”. Tristemente, un término derogatorio para los
cananeos era la palabra perro. Rechazada de nuevo, la mujer no se retira o pierde la esperanza y persiste con
su petición.
La fe persistente de la mujer fue victoriosa. Jesús le concedió su petición y reconoció su gran fe. El pasaje
del evangelio nos recuerda las dinámicas de la fe – porque la fe auténtica traspasa toda barrera y estrecha a
toda la gente. La fe vence el miedo y dicha fe es la que Jesús desea.
Aunque este evangelio responde a la pregunta si los Judíos Cristianos y los Gentiles podían coexistir en la
misma comunidad, también responde a las preguntas en nuestra propia vida. Todos hemos observado las
imágenes perturbadoras la semana pasada de Charottesville, Virginia. No podía creer en el odio que vi en la
pantalla. Esto en realidad no es el Espíritu de Dios, sino de un espíritu malo que está entre nosotros. Como
Cristianos, somos llamados particularmente a ser “levadura” que levanta a la sociedad o que levanta la
sociedad a una gran altura. En tiempos bíblicos, la pregunta fue entre Gentiles y Judíos, tal vez en nuestros
tiempos, es blanco y negro o Cristiano y Musulmán que tenemos que aprender a vivir y trabajar juntos – no
para la mejoría de un grupo sino para le mejoría de todos.
Oremos para que el Espíritu Santo venga sobre nosotros para darnos el valor de reconocer a toda la gente
como hijos de Dios. Oremos para que toda persona humana sea respetada y conocida como hijo/a de Dios.
Oremos para que nosotros, así como la mujer cananea, escuchemos la voz de Jesús decir, “¡Grande es tu fe;
que te suceda como deseas!”
Padre Charlie
Los invito a leer el siguiente artículo sobre una nota del Padre Charlie. Como indica el Padre Charlie, él
estará un tiempo ausente de su ministerio y se retirará de St. Michael. El Padre Charlie se lo pidió al Cardenal
Cupich y le concedió su pedido. El Padre Charlie y yo hemos hablado varias veces y apoyo su decisión.
Apoyo su decisión porque no fue tan superficial. Él ha orado mucho sobre esto, buscó dirección espiritual, ha
hablado con otros sacerdotes, la familia, amigos y ha hecho un retiro espiritual. Las decisiones sobre la vida
de uno no es siempre facial y se requiere valor y fuerza interna para examinar tu llamado en la vida. Durante
esta ausencia él seguirá discerniendo a lo que Dios lo está llamando a hacer. El Padre Charlie se ha hecho de
muchos amigos aquí y no es fácil retirarse, así que les pido mantener al Padre Charlie en sus oraciones.
En el amor de Cristo, Padre Frank
Nota del Padre Charlie
Estimadas Personas de St. Michael:
Les escribo para hacerles saber que tomaré tiempo ausente; significa que me retiro y no regreso a la parroquia.
Aunque estoy agradecido de suministrar aquí en St. Michael y soy un sacerdote en buena posición, he elegido
hacer esto porque necesito discernir más considerablemente lo que Dios quiere de mi vida. Es una decisión
muy difícil, pero pasé tiempo orando y pensando sobre esto; luego un retiro en silencio que me mostró que
esto es algo que debo explorar. Experimenté mucha paz y claridad durante este tiempo y quiero continuar
viviendo y recibiendo esas gracias. Estoy agradecido con nuestro Señor porque misericordiosamente me
brinda este tiempo. Estoy agradecido con todos ustedes también por lo bueno que han sido y continúan
siendo conmigo. Los quiero mucho y estoy orando por ustedes; también recen por me. Padre Charlie
