Forgiveness

9/15/2019

Hello Friends,

God's forgiveness is this weekend's theme. Our first reading (Exodus 32, 7-11.13-14) takes us back to Moses, about 1300 years before Christ. The  people of Israel had just escaped from Egypt and were going through the desert of Sinai on their way to the  Promised Land. They had already made a covenant with God at Mt. Sinai, and they had  promised they would worship only the God of Israel as their God. When God called Moses back to the  top of Mt. Sinai to speak with him again, the people got into trouble. They fashioned for themselves a  golden calf and worshiped it as their god. This is where our first reading begins. God is angry with his people. Notice, in speaking to Moses, he calls them "your people". Moses intercedes for the people and "convinces God to forgiving. His prayer displays total unselfishness. God, of course, forgives them. In the second reading, we hear St. Paul describe what a sinful person he once was and how God was merciful to him (1 Tim, 1,, 12-17). In today's gospel, which is the entire fifteen chapter of St. Luke, we hear three beautiful parables of God's forgiveness.

Estimados parroquianos,

Las lecturas de este fin de semana nos hablan sobre el perdon, algo tan necesitado en nuestra  sociedad en estos tiempos. La primera lectura que esta en estos tiempos. La primera lectura que esta tomada del libro del Exodo nos lleva alrededor de 1300 anos antes de Cristo. Recordemos que, en ese pasaje, los israelitas acababan de escapar de Egipto y se encontraban en el desierto rumbo a la Tierra Prometida. Este pueblo ya habia hecho una alianza con Dios, pero cuando Dios llama a su lider a que suba la montana para conversar con el, los Israelitas se les olvido esa alianza con Dios. Hicieron una estatua a la cual comenzaron a adorar y reconocer como su dios. Dios se moleso mucho con ellos por este acto de desobediencia hacia el. Pero al final, por intercesion de  Moises, Dios los perdono. Tenemos un Dios de amor, de perdon que nos perdona cuantas veces vengamos arrepentidos a el.
