Turn My Heart to your Decrees
St Robert Bellarmine,
'On the Ascent of the Soul to God'
Friday is the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul
God bless our faithful volunteers.
“Behold, now, how little is needed to become
a saint! Nothing more than to acquire the
habit of willing, on every occasion, what God
wills.”
St. Vincent de Paul
O Lord, good and forgiving and abounding in
steadfast love, who would not serve you with all his
heart, when he has begun at least to taste the
sweetness of your fatherly rule? What do you order
your servants to do, Lord? ‘Take my yoke upon you,’
you say. What is your yoke?—’my yoke is easy,’ you
say, ‘and my burden is light.’ Who would not willingly
carry a yoke which does not press down but gives
strength, and a burden which does not weigh heavily
but refreshes? With justification, then, you also say,
‘and you will find rest for your souls’. What is this
yoke of yours that does not tire but brings rest? It is
that ‘great and first commandment: you shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart’. For what is
easier, better and more agreeable than to love
goodness, beauty and love, all of which you are, O
Lord my God?
Do you not offer a reward to those who keep
the commandments, which are more desirable than
a heap of gold and sweeter than honey from the
comb? So in every way you offer a very ample
reward, as James the apostle says: ‘The Lord has

prepared the crown of life for those who love him.’
What is the crown of life? It is a good greater than all
we can think of or desire: Paul quotes these words
from Isaiah: ‘No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor
has the heart of man conceived, what God has
prepared for those who love him.’
There is much reward in keeping your
commandments. That first and great commandment
is not only profitable for the man who keeps it or for
God who commands it: the other commandments of
God also make perfect him who obeys them,
improve him, instruct him and make him illustrious;
in a word, they make him good and holy. If you
understand this, realize that you have been created
for the glory of God and for your own eternal
salvation; this is your end, this is the object of your
soul and the treasure of your heart. You will be
blessed if you reach this goal, but miserable if you
are cut off from it.
Therefore consider that to be for your real
good which brings you to your goal, and that to be
really bad which cuts you off from this goal.
Prosperity and adversity, riches and poverty, health
and sickness, honor and ignominy, life and death
should not be sought after for themselves by the
wise man nor are they to be avoided for themselves;
if they contribute to the glory of God and your eternal
happiness, they are good and to be sought after; if
they are obstacles to this, they are evil and to be
avoided.

Missa Do XXV Domingo Do Tempo Comum
BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS
MISSA DOMINGO XXV DO TEMPO COMUM
Comentário: Estranhamente, no Evangelho de hoje,
Jesus se utiliza de uma pessoa corrupta para ensinar
algo útil para nossa vida de cristãos. Mas como é
possível ser elogiado um homem que se apropria
indevidamente de bens alheios e faz amigos à custa do
patrão?
“Havia um homem rico que tinha um administrador, e
este foi acusado...”: é assim que começa a parábola do
Evangelho deste domingo, o relato de um administrador
que, durante anos, cometia fraudes contra o seu patrão,
até que não conseguiu mais. É uma história que se
repete desde há muito tempo até hoje, semelhante a
tantas histórias dos nossos dias que continuamente
lemos nos cotidianos e escutamos nos telejornais:
histórias de fraudes e furtos, arquitetadas com perfeição,
por pessoas, talvez muito notáveis, que roubam grandes
quantias de dinheiro, prejudicando grandes e pequenos.
Não é uma novidade, e digamos logo, nem mesmo é
raro: tá cada vez mais comum ouvir e ver casos assim;
mas sempre chega o momento da verdade, quando
descobertas as fraudes, começa a caça ao ladrão, que
obviamente, nunca está sozinho e faz de tudo pra
escapar. Desonestidade, engano, fraude: é a lógica do
“mundo”, a lógica dos espertalhões que não têm
escrúpulos em enriquecer às custas dos principalmente
mais pobres; contra essa lógica, só aparentemente
vencedora, a liturgia repropõe as palavras duras do
profeta Amós, o “pastor, cultivador de sicômoros”
chamado por Deus a admoestar todos, pertencentes às
altas classes da cidade da Samaria que exploravam os
pobres e oprimiam os fracos.
A parábola fala precisamente de um homem rico que
soube que seu empregado estava lhe roubando, e, por
isso, ele exige uma prestação de contas antes de demitir
tal empregado; este, por sua vez, com muita esperteza,
raciocina: ‘vou ser demitido, não tenho como me
defender. Como vou me sustentar? Não posso encarar
um trabalho braçal e tenho vergonha de pedir esmolas.
Já sei o que vou fazer. Vou diminuir as dívidas que as
pessoas têm com meu patrão; assim, elas ficam me
devendo este favor e por isso, vão me ajudar com algo
enquanto eu estiver desempregado’.
Muito espertinho o empregado! Na época, a cobrança de
juros era proibida pela Lei, assim, para obter o máximo
dos outros, os vendedores diminuíam medidas para
ganhar mais, aumentavam pesos quando vendiam,
adulteravam balanças, compravam os pobres com um
par de sandálias (ou hoje com uma prótese dentária ou
um exame de vista), nada diferente do que existe por aí
em todos os âmbitos da sociedade. Então, aquele
empregado resolve reduzir as contas devidas ao seu
valor real, perdendo os juros para o patrão e fazendo
amigos para si mesmo. Usou o presente para
providenciar o futuro.
Jesus com esta parábola constata: “realmente, os filhos
'deste mundo' são mais espertos em seus negócios do
que os filhos da luz”. Somo filhos da luz, seguimos a luz
do mundo que é Jesus; mas, muitas vezes, como
cristãos, nos faltam a prontidão e o zelo daquele
administrador da parábola em vez de ficarmos nos
lamentando e reclamando.
Por isso, Jesus com base nessa verdade, dá três
orientações com relação ao uso do dinheiro.
Primeiramente, que devemos usar o dinheiro em favor do
nosso próximo. Os bens que Deus confia a nossa
administração não devem ser gastos de maneira
egoística em vista de uma “boa vida”, mas devem ser
usados conforme à vontade de Deus. Ou seja, sendo
uma bênção para o outro. Jesus fala de dinheiro, mas aí
devemos incluir tudo o que é bem terreno: as nossas
capacidades, talentos, educação recebida etc. Tudo deve
ser administrado fielmente e não pode ser esbanjado
para engrandecer a nós mesmos e para o bem da nossa
pessoa. A maneira como nos relacionarmos com o
dinheiro contará muito para o nosso bem espiritual.

A letter to Proba by St Augustine
Let us exercise our
desire in prayer
Why in our fear of not praying
as we should, do we turn to so many
things, to
find what we
should pray
for? Why do
we not say
instead, in
the words of
the psalm: I
have asked
one thing
from the
Lord, this is
what I will
seek: to
dwell in the
Lord’s house all the days of my life, to
see the graciousness of the Lord, and
to visit his temple? There, the days do
not come and go in succession, and the
beginning of one day does not mean
the end of another; all days are one,
simultaneously and without end, and
the life lived out in these days has
itself no end.
So that we might obtain this life
of happiness, he who is true life itself
taught us to pray, not in many words as
though speaking longer could gain us a
hearing. After all, we pray to one who,
as the Lord himself tells us, knows
what we need before we ask for it.
Why he should ask us to pray, when
he knows what we need before we ask
him, may perplex us if we do not
realise that our Lord and God does not want
to know what we want (for he cannot fail to
know it), but wants us rather to exercise our
desire through our prayers, so that we may be
able to receive what he is preparing to give
us. His gift is
very great
indeed, but our
capacity is too
small and
limited to
receive it. That
is why we are
told: Enlarge
your desires, do
not bear the
yoke with
unbelievers.
The deeper our
faith, the
stronger our hope, the greater our desire, the
larger will be our capacity to receive that gift,
which is very great indeed. No eye has seen
it; it has no color. No ear has heard it; it has
no sound. It has not entered man’s heart;
man’s heart must enter into it.
I
n this faith, hope and love we pray
always with unwearied desire. However, at
set times and seasons we also pray to God in
words, so that by these signs we may instruct
ourselves and mark the progress we have
made in our desire, and spur ourselves on to
deepen it. The more fervent the desire, the
more worthy will be its fruit. When the
Apostle tells us: Pray without ceasing, he
means this: Desire unceasingly that life of
happiness which is nothing if not eternal, and
ask it of him who alone is able to give it.
