We live in an age of cancel culture, but as Jesus makes clear in today’s Gospel, that is not the Christian way. When someone wrongs us, Jesus calls us to first speak with them privately—not to punish or remove them, but to seek reconciliation. Let’s follow Christ’s lead: seek to reconcile with those who’ve wronged us, not cancel them.
⁣
Vivimos en una época de cultura de la cancelación, pero como Jesús deja claro en el Evangelio de hoy, ese no es el camino cristiano. Cuando alguien nos hace daño, Jesús nos llama a hablar primero con él en privado—no para castigarle ni eliminarlo, sino para buscar la reconciliación. Sigamos el ejemplo de Cristo: busquemos reconciliarnos con quienes nos han hecho daño, no cancelarlos.

It's World Beard Day! In the Bible, beards are a sign of dignity and maturity. In fact, Jewish priests were instructed to let their facial hair grow. The Bible doesn't explicitly say that Jesus had a beard, but it was the norm among Jewish men in the 1st century. Nonetheless, the New Testament shifts the focus away from external appearance to what's on the inside.

¡Es el Día Mundial de la Barba! En la Biblia, la barba es un signo de dignidad y madurez. De hecho, a los sacerdotes judíos se les instruyó a dejar crecer el vello facial. La Biblia no dice explícitamente que Jesús tenía barba, pero era la norma entre los hombres judíos en el siglo I. No obstante, el Nuevo Testamento desplaza el enfoque de la apariencia externa hacia lo que hay dentro.

September 15 - October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. And the Catholic Church in the United States has a lot to celebrate when it comes to our Hispanic community! About 36% of Catholics in the U.S. are Hispanic, a number that rises to a whopping 60% when we consider Catholics under the age of 18!

Here at St. John/Holy Angels, we are grateful for the contributions and presence of all of our family of parishioners with roots in the Spanish-speaking world!
