Saint Peter Claver, Priest — September 9

Today the Church celebrates St. Peter Claver, the Jesuit missionary who gave his life to serving enslaved Africans brought through the port of Cartagena, Colombia.

Born in Catalonia, Peter entered the Society of Jesus and offered himself for the missions. Encouraged by St. Alphonsus Rodríguez, he arrived in Cartagena in 1610.

There he encountered one of the great human tragedies of his age.

Ships arrived carrying African men, women, and children who had been torn from their homelands and subjected to horrific conditions during the Atlantic crossing. While others treated them as property, Peter Claver recognized them as brothers and sisters created in the image and likeness of God.

When the ships entered port, Claver went down into the crowded holds. He brought food, water, medicine, clothing, and comfort. He tended wounds and cared for the sick before attempting to preach. As he said: “We must speak with our hands before we speak to them with our lips.”

At his final profession as a Jesuit, Claver expressed the radical commitment that would define his life: “Peter Claver, slave of the slaves, forever.”

For nearly forty years, he lived those words. He catechized and baptized approximately 300,000 people, continued visiting those he had served, defended their human dignity, and called slaveholders and the Christians of Cartagena to conversion.

Claver understood something that remains essential to our Catholic faith: there is no human being whom we are permitted to treat as less than human. Every person bears the image of God. Every person possesses a dignity that no government, society, prejudice, wealth, poverty, or human institution can take away.

Jesus tells us: “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40

May his witness challenge us to recognize Christ in those who are forgotten, mistreated, rejected, or pushed aside—and to remember that sometimes the most powerful proclamation of the Gospel begins not with our lips, but with our hands.

Saint Peter Claver, pray for us

Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of the seed of Abraham, sprung from the tribe of Judah, of the stock of David the King, from whom the Son of God was born by the Holy Spirit and became man, that he might free us from the age-old slavery to sin.

Father Steven's Homily for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time:

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time – “Sometimes It Is Our Watch”

My brothers and sisters in Christ, when you were baptized, something extraordinary happened to you. Your sins were washed away. You became an adopted son or daughter of God. You became a member of the Body of Christ. You received the gift of the Holy Spirit. But something else happened at your Baptism: You were given a mission.
Through Baptism, we are united to Jesus Christ and share in His threefold office as Priest, Prophet, and King. As priest, we offer our lives to God—our prayer, our work, our sacrifices, our whole lives. As king, we are called to serve and to build the Kingdom of God, always recognizing the sacred dignity of every human person, because every person—without exception—is created in the image and likeness of God. And as prophet, we are called to proclaim God's truth. And that last one is where our readings take us today.
Because sometimes being a prophet means loving someone enough to speak a truth that he does not want to hear. God says to Ezekiel: “You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel.” That image of a watchman means something to me personally.
Many, many, many moons ago, when I was a young sailor in the Navy, I served aboard the USS Pioneer, MCM-9 — or simply, the “Mighty 9.”
We brought that ship from the shipyard in Wisconsin, through the St. Lawrence Seaway, into the Atlantic, and eventually down to our home port in Ingleside, Texas. And let me tell you, there were times in the North Atlantic when that little ship was rocking and rolling. It got so rough that even some of the old salty dogs got seasick! But whether the seas were calm or rough, somebody always had to stand watch. We had what we called the dog watch — those miserable hours when everybody else seemed to be asleep.
I remember once when we pulled into Halifax. Everybody wanted liberty. Everybody wanted to get off the ship and enjoy themselves. But I had the watch. And I wasn't bitter about it. Even at that young age, I understood something
about being a shipmate. My shipmates were depending on me. Somebody had to stand watch. Somebody had to make sure no one came aboard who wasn't supposed to be there. Because standing watch wasn't just about me. It was about everybody aboard that ship. Of course, in those days those watches were probably fueled by ni****ne and caffeine!
But underneath it was something much more important: I had a responsibility for somebody besides myself. And that is what God is telling Ezekiel: “I have appointed you watchman.” The watchman sees danger coming, and because the lives of others matter to him, he sounds the alarm.

There is an ancient image of the Church as a great ship making her way through the rough seas of this world toward the safe harbor of heaven. And brothers and sisters, we are all in the same boat. We belong to one another. And sometimes it is our watch.
Just this week, Pope Leo reminded the Church that Christians cannot remain merely “unengaged spectators.” Christian love is never indifferent. If I truly love someone, his life matters to me. His suffering matters to me. His relationship with God matters to me. His soul matters to me. Sometimes we say: “I don't want to judge.” And sometimes that is exactly right. But sometimes what we really mean is: “I don't want to get involved.” Those are not always the same thing.
Maybe you see a friend destroying his marriage through infidelity. Maybe someone you love is being consumed by an addiction. Maybe someone you love has abandoned his faith and is moving farther and farther away from God. It is easy to say: “That's his life.” “That's her choice.” “It's none of my business.” But sometimes it is our watch.
Saint Paul tells us today: “Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another.” That is the key: Love. The Church calls admonishing the sinner one of the spiritual works of mercy. Notice that word: Mercy. Not anger. Not superiority. Not self-righteousness. Mercy.
Sometimes love means saying: “My brother, I love you, but what you are doing is wrong.” “I care about you too much to pretend this isn't hurting you.” “I am worried that this is taking you away from God.”
Yesterday the Church celebrated Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Mother Teresa was known throughout the world for her extraordinary love, but she was also never afraid to speak the truth. She once said: “Love, to be true, has to hurt.” And sometimes love does hurt. Sometimes remaining silent would be much easier. Sometimes telling someone the truth means risking that he may become angry with us or even reject us. But love is willing to take that risk for the good of the person we love.
Now, before anybody leaves Mass today thinking: “Great! Father just gave me permission to start correcting everybody!” Not so fast. Before I start worrying about everybody else's house, I had better get my own house in order. Jesus tells us: Why are you worried about the splinter in your brother's eye when there is a wooden beam in your own? Before I become God's prophet to somebody else, I first have to allow God to be a prophet to me. What needs to change in me? What sin have I become comfortable with? What truth from God do I not want to hear? When was the last time I made a good confession?
Today's Psalm says: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”
Before I ask: “Lord, what does my neighbor need to hear?” I need to ask: “Lord, what do I need to hear?” Before I stand watch for somebody else's soul, I first have to stand watch over my own. And even then, Christian correction requires prudence and humility.
I don't have to correct every person about every sin I see. I need to ask: Am I the right person? Is this the right moment? Is what I am about to say actually going to help this person come closer to God? Because we are not out there looking for fights. We are not trying to prove that we are holier, smarter, or better than somebody else. In fact, it should be just the opposite. I know how easy it is to take the wrong road because I have taken wrong roads myself. I know how difficult it can be to find the way back
because I have needed the mercy of God to find my own way back.
And sometimes I simply don't want someone I love to make the same mistakes I have made. That is the humility of Christian correction. It is one sinner saying to another: “Brother, I have been down that road. It doesn't lead where you think it does. Let me help you find a better way.” And if that person refuses to listen, we cannot force him. Jesus Himself taught His disciples that when people would not receive them, there came a time to shake the dust from their feet and move on.
We speak the truth. We offer the invitation. We pray for the person. But we do not pick a fight. We can speak the truth, but only God's grace can change a heart. Our responsibility is to love enough to speak when we should — and to have the humility to know when we have said what needed to be said. Because the purpose is never simply to point out someone's sin. The purpose is to help bring him back.
And Jesus shows us the spirit in which it should be done: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.” Not: Tell everybody about it. Humiliate him. Gossip about him. Put it on Facebook. Jesus says: Go to him. Alone. Why? Because the person standing in front of me is created in the image and likeness of God. His sin does not erase his dignity. Even when correction is necessary, his dignity must be protected. And Jesus tells us exactly what the goal is: “If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.” Not: “You won the argument.” But: “You have won over your brother.” That is the heart of Jesus.
Jesus does not desire the destruction of the sinner. He desires his conversion. Even when people rejected Him, mocked Him, persecuted Him, and finally crucified Him, from the Cross Jesus prayed: “Father, forgive them.” That is the heart of Christian correction.
I do not tell you the truth because I want to see you condemned.
I tell you the truth because I want to see you converted. I don't want to defeat you. I want you back. The prophet does not stand watch hoping to see somebody fall overboard. He stands watch because he wants everyone to
make it safely home.
My brothers and sisters, at Baptism you were united to Jesus Christ: Priest. Prophet. King. And you were given a mission. So first: Stand watch over your own soul. Listen to God's voice. Let His Word correct you. Go to Confession. Let Christ heal you.
And then stand watch for the brothers and sisters God has placed around you. Do not condemn them. Do not gossip about them. Do not humiliate them. But do not be indifferent either. Love them enough to care. And sometimes, love them enough to speak.
Those old watches may have been fueled by ni****ne and caffeine. But the watch Christ gives us asks something much harder: to care enough to sound the alarm. Not because we want to condemn someone. Not because we think we are better than him. But because we love him enough to want him safely home. We are shipmates. We belong to one another. And sometimes it is our watch. So may we have the humility to hear the warning when we need it, the courage to give it when we must, and the love to remember why: because Christ wants every one of us safely home.

XXIII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario – “A veces nos toca hacer guardia”

Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, cuando ustedes fueron bautizados, algo extraordinario sucedió en sus vidas. Sus pecados fueron perdonados. Se convirtieron en hijos e hijas adoptivos de Dios. Pasaron a formar parte del Cuerpo de Cristo. Recibieron el don del Espíritu Santo. Pero algo más sucedió en su Bautismo: Dios les dio una misión.
Por medio del Bautismo, estamos unidos a Jesucristo y participamos de su triple misión como Sacerdote, Profeta y Rey. Como sacerdotes, ofrecemos nuestra vida a Dios: nuestra oración, nuestro trabajo, nuestros sacrificios, toda nuestra vida. Como reyes, estamos llamados a servir y a ayudar a construir el Reino de Dios, reconociendo siempre la dignidad de cada ser humano, porque toda persona, sin excepción, ha sido creada a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Y como profetas, estamos llamados a proclamar la verdad de Dios. Y precisamente de eso nos hablan las lecturas de hoy.
Porque a veces ser profeta significa amar a alguien lo suficiente como para decirle una verdad que no quiere escuchar. Dios le dice a Ezequiel: “A ti, hijo de hombre, te he constituido centinela para la casa de Israel.” Esa imagen del centinela, del que está haciendo guardia, significa algo muy personal para mí.
Hace muchos, muchos, muchos años, cuando yo era un joven marinero en la Marina, serví a bordo del USS Pioneer, MCM-9 — o simplemente, el “Mighty 9.” Llevamos ese barco desde el astillero en Wisconsin, por el río San Lorenzo, hasta el Atlántico, y finalmente hasta nuestro puerto en Ingleside, Texas. Y déjenme decirles que hubo momentos en el Atlántico Norte cuando ese pequeño barco se movía para todos lados. ¡El mar estaba tan fuerte que hasta algunos de los viejos marineros se mareaban! Pero estuviera tranquilo o bravo el mar, alguien siempre tenía que hacer guardia. Teníamos lo que nosotros llamábamos el dog watch — esas horas miserables cuando parecía que todo el mundo estaba dormido.
Recuerdo una vez que llegamos a Halifax. Todos querían salir. Todos querían bajar del barco y divertirse. Pero a mí me tocaba la guardia. Y no estaba enojado por eso. Aun siendo joven, entendía algo de lo que significaba ser compañero de barco. Mis compañeros dependían de mí. Alguien tenía que hacer guardia. Alguien tenía que asegurarse de que nadie subiera al barco sin permiso. Porque hacer guardia no se trataba solamente de mí. Se trataba de todos los que estaban a bordo. Claro, en aquellos días esas guardias probablemente funcionaban con nicotina y cafeína. Pero detrás de todo eso había algo mucho más importante: yo tenía una responsabilidad por alguien más, no solamente por mí mismo.
Y eso es lo que Dios le está diciendo a Ezequiel: “Te he puesto como centinela.” El centinela ve que viene el peligro, y porque le importa la vida de los demás, da la alarma. Hay una imagen muy antigua de la Iglesia como un gran barco que navega por los mares difíciles de este mundo hacia el puerto seguro del cielo. Y, hermanos y hermanas, todos estamos en el mismo barco. Nos necesitamos unos a otros. Y a veces nos toca hacer guardia.
Esta misma semana, el Papa León le recordó a la Iglesia que los cristianos no podemos quedarnos simplemente como “espectadores que no se involucran.” El amor cristiano nunca es indiferente. Si de verdad amo a alguien, su vida me importa. Su sufrimiento me importa. Su relación con Dios me importa. Su alma me importa. A veces decimos: “Yo no quiero juzgar.” Y a veces eso está muy bien. Pero otras veces lo que realmente queremos decir es: “Yo no me quiero meter.” Y no siempre es lo mismo.
Tal vez ves a un amigo destruyendo su matrimonio por una infidelidad. Tal vez alguien que amas está siendo destruido por una adicción. Tal vez alguien que amas ha dejado su fe y cada día se está alejando más y más de Dios. Es muy fácil decir: “Es su vida.” “Es su decisión.” “No es asunto mío.” Pero a veces nos toca hacer guardia.
San Pablo nos dice hoy: “No tengan con nadie otra deuda que la del amor mutuo.” Ahí está la clave: el amor. La Iglesia llama corregir al que se equivoca una de las obras espirituales de misericordia. Fíjense en esa palabra: misericordia. No coraje. No sentirnos superiores. No creernos más santos que los demás. Misericordia.
A veces amar significa decir: “Hermano, te quiero, pero lo que estás haciendo está mal.” “Me importas demasiado como para hacer como si esto no te estuviera haciendo daño.” “Me preocupa que esto te esté alejando de Dios.”
Ayer la Iglesia celebró a Santa Teresa de Calcuta. La Madre Teresa era conocida en todo el mundo por su gran amor, pero tampoco tenía miedo de decir la verdad. Ella dijo una vez: “El amor, para ser verdadero, tiene que doler.” Y a veces amar sí duele. A veces sería mucho más fácil quedarnos callados. A veces decirle la verdad a alguien significa correr el riesgo de que se enoje con nosotros o hasta que nos rechace. Pero el amor está dispuesto a correr ese riesgo por el bien de la persona que amamos.
Ahora, antes de que alguien salga de Misa pensando: “¡Qué bueno! ¡El Padre me acaba de dar permiso para andar corrigiendo a todo el mundo!” No tan rápido. Antes de preocuparme por la casa de todos los demás, primero tengo que poner mi propia casa en orden. Jesús nos dice: ¿Por qué te preocupas por la astilla que está en el ojo de tu hermano cuando tú tienes una viga en el tuyo? Antes de ser profeta de Dios para otra persona, primero tengo que dejar que Dios sea profeta para mí. ¿Qué tiene que cambiar en mí? ¿Con qué pecado me he acostumbrado a vivir yo? ¿Qué verdad de Dios no quiero escuchar yo? ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que yo hice una buena confesión?
El Salmo de hoy nos dice: “Ojalá escuchen hoy su voz: no endurezcan el corazón.” Antes de preguntar: “Señor, ¿qué necesita escuchar mi prójimo?”, primero tengo que preguntar: “Señor, ¿qué necesito escuchar yo?” Antes de hacer guardia por el alma de otra persona, primero tengo que hacer guardia sobre mi propia alma. Y aun entonces, la corrección cristiana requiere prudencia y humildad.
No tengo que andar corrigiendo a cada persona por cada pecado que veo. Tengo que preguntarme: ¿Soy yo la persona indicada? ¿Es este el momento indicado? ¿Lo que voy a decir realmente va a ayudar a esta persona a acercarse más a Dios? Porque no andamos por ahí buscando pleitos. No estamos tratando de demostrar que somos más santos, más inteligentes o mejores que los demás. De hecho, debería ser todo lo contrario. Yo sé lo fácil que es tomar el camino equivocado, porque yo también he tomado caminos equivocados. Yo sé lo difícil que puede ser encontrar el camino de regreso, porque yo también he necesitado la misericordia de Dios para encontrar mi camino de regreso.
Y a veces simplemente no quiero que alguien que amo cometa los mismos errores que yo he cometido. Esa es la humildad de la corrección cristiana. Es un pecador diciéndole a otro: “Hermano, yo ya caminé por ese camino. No te lleva a donde tú piensas. Déjame ayudarte a encontrar un camino mejor.” Y si esa persona no quiere escuchar, no podemos obligarla. Jesús mismo enseñó a sus discípulos que cuando alguien no quisiera recibirlos, llegaba el momento de sacudirse el polvo de los pies y seguir adelante.
Decimos la verdad. Hacemos la invitación. Rezamos por la persona. Pero no buscamos pleito. Nosotros podemos decir la verdad, pero solamente la gracia de Dios puede cambiar un corazón. Nuestra responsabilidad es amar lo suficiente para hablar cuando debemos hablar — y tener la humildad para reconocer cuándo ya dijimos lo que teníamos que decir. Porque el propósito nunca es simplemente señalar el pecado de otra persona. El propósito es ayudarla a regresar.
Y Jesús nos enseña cómo debemos hacerlo: “Si tu hermano comete un pecado, ve y amonéstalo a solas.” No dice: cuéntaselo a todo el mundo. Humíllalo. Habla de él a sus espaldas. Ponlo en Facebook. Jesús dice: “Ve con él. A solas.” ¿Por qué? Porque la persona que está delante de mí fue creada a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Su pecado no le quita su dignidad. Aunque sea necesario corregirla, siempre tenemos que respetar su dignidad. Y Jesús nos dice exactamente cuál es la meta: “Si te escucha, habrás salvado a tu hermano.” No dice: “Ganaste la discusión.” Sino: “Has ganado a tu hermano.” Ese es el corazón de Jesús.
Jesús no desea la destrucción del pecador. Desea su conversión. Incluso cuando lo rechazaron, se burlaron de Él, lo persiguieron y finalmente lo crucificaron, desde la Cruz Jesús rezó: “Padre, perdónalos.” Ese es el corazón de la corrección cristiana.
Yo no te digo la verdad porque quiero verte condenado. Te digo la verdad porque quiero verte convertido. No quiero derrotarte. Te quiero de regreso. El profeta no hace guardia esperando ver a alguien caer del barco. Hace guardia porque quiere que todos lleguen seguros a casa.
Mis hermanos y hermanas, en el Bautismo ustedes fueron unidos a Jesucristo: Sacerdote. Profeta. Rey. Y recibieron una misión. Así que primero: haz guardia sobre tu propia alma. Escucha la voz de Dios. Deja que su Palabra te corrija. Ve a confesarte. Deja que Cristo te sane.
Y después haz guardia por los hermanos y hermanas que Dios ha puesto en tu vida. No los condenes. No hables de ellos a sus espaldas. No los humilles. Pero tampoco seas indiferente. Ámalos lo suficiente como para que te importen. Y a veces, ámalos lo suficiente como para hablar.
Aquellas viejas guardias tal vez funcionaban con nicotina y cafeína. Pero la guardia que Cristo nos da nos pide algo mucho más difícil: que nos importe lo suficiente como para dar la alarma. No porque queramos condenar a alguien. No porque pensemos que somos mejores. Sino porque lo amamos lo suficiente como para querer que llegue seguro a casa.
Somos compañeros de barco. Nos necesitamos unos a otros. Y a veces nos toca hacer guardia. Así que pidámosle a Dios la humildad para escuchar la advertencia cuando nosotros la necesitamos, el valor para darla cuando nos toca, y el amor para nunca olvidar por qué: porque Cristo quiere que cada uno de nosotros llegue seguro a casa.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta — September 5

Today the Church celebrates St. Teresa of Calcutta, the little woman in the white-and-blue sari who showed the world that no human being is too poor, too sick, too unwanted, or too forgotten to be loved.

Born Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu in Skopje in 1910, she entered religious life and went to India as a Sister of Loreto. For years she taught in Calcutta. Then, on September 10, 1946, while traveling by train to Darjeeling, she experienced what she called her “call within a call.”

Jesus was asking her to leave the security of the convent and serve Him among the poorest of the poor.

At the heart of Mother Teresa's vocation were two words spoken by Jesus from the Cross:

“I thirst.” — John 19:28

She understood that thirst as Christ's thirst for our love and for souls. And she learned to recognize that same Jesus hidden in the suffering people around her.

“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40

In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity. Together with her sisters, she cared for the dying, the sick, the homeless, abandoned children, and those whom society preferred not to see.

But Mother Teresa's work did not begin with social activism. It began with Jesus. The Eucharist, prayer, and adoration gave her the strength to go out and touch Christ in the wounds of the poor.

She also courageously defended the dignity of every human life, including the unborn, reminding the world that love must extend especially to those who cannot defend themselves.

Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, and Pope Francis canonized her in 2016.

Her life asks us a simple question:

Do I recognize Jesus in the person everyone else overlooks?

We may never serve thousands of people in the streets of Calcutta. But every one of us knows someone who is lonely, hurting, forgotten, difficult to love, or simply needs to know that somebody cares.

That is where our Calcutta begins.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta, teach us to recognize Jesus in those the world forgets and to love Him in the poorest of the poor. Pray for us!

🏈🌭 PASTOR’S OFFICIAL WURST BOWL STATEMENT 🌭🏈

Well, another Wurst Bowl is in the books!

Congratulations to the Canyon Cougars on taking the win this year! 🐾🏆

Now, as Pastor of Saints Peter and Paul, I have young people and families from both Canyon and New Braunfels High School sitting in our pews, so I am required by pastoral prudence, Christian charity, and basic self-preservation to remain completely impartial. 😂

So congratulations, Cougars! Enjoy this one. You earned it.

And to the Unicorns… keep your heads up. 🦄 After all, the historical Wurst Bowl record still stands at New Braunfels 33 – Canyon 11.

Not that I’m taking sides.

I’m simply reporting historical facts. 😇😂

Whether you wear blue or red, you’re all part of the same Saints Peter and Paul family—and I’m proud of all our students who represented their schools tonight.

Rivalry on the field.
One parish family in the pews. ❤️

Congratulations to both teams on another great Wurst Bowl!

And remember: there are no Cougars or Unicorns in heaven… only Saints. 😇🏈
