30th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 23, 2016

Living God’s Word Panhandlers are utterly dependent on charity for their daily bread. They have nothing of real value, so they have nothing to lose. Might our self-sufficiency, selfdefensiveness, and self-importance blind us to something that their poverty reveals? Like Bartimaeus, we must depend utterly on Jesus for mercy, vision, direction, and daily bread.

Let God Be God By Cynthia Reyes Someone once told me that a good gauge of knowing if we were in right relationship with God was to examine our relationship with others. How true! When things get out of kilter in our relationships with others, more than likely, our relationship with God needs to be tweaked and realigned. In Luke’s gospel today, there are two people in relationship with God, one standing front and center of the temple area, exalting himself and creating a barrier between him and God with his arrogance. The other man finds himself at a distance, with down cast eyes, perhaps thinking that he should not have even entered the temple area because of his sinfulness. Jesus teaches us today that authentic prayer and right relationship before God and others come only from true self-knowledge. If we are completely honest, we can be like the Pharisee, not wanting to own our own shortcomings, failings, and weaknesses. Likewise, we can also be like the tax collector acknowledging who we really are and recognize our need for God’s mercy. Right relationship with God comes only from knowing ourselves as God knows us; standing before God as we are, with all weaknesses and failings. And we pray accordingly, letting God be God. Deja que Dios sea Dios Por Cynthia Reyes Una vez alguien me dijo que un buen indicador de saber si estábamos en una buena relación con Dios es de examinar nuestra relación con los demás. ¡Que cierto! Cuando las cosas se ponen afuera de orden en nuestras relaciones con los demás, más que probable, de nuestra relación con Dios necesita ser ajustado y reajustado. En la actualidad el Evangelio de San Lucas, hay dos personas en relación con Dios, uno enfrente del templo, que exalta a sí mismo y recreando una barrera entre él y Dios con su arrogancia. El otro hombre se encuentra a una distancia, con los ojos bajos, tal vez pensando que no debería entrado en el templo, orando con honestidad de sus pecados. Jesús nos enseña hoy que la auténtica oración y la relación correcta ante Dios y los demás provienen sólo de auto-conocimiento verdadero. Si somos completamente honestos, podemos ser como el fariseo, que no quería ser dueño de nuestras propias deficiencias, fallas y debilidades. Del mismo modo, también podemos ser como el publicano reconociendo lo que realmente somos y reconocemos nuestra necesidad de la misericordia de Dios. La relación correcta con Dios proviene sólo de conocerse a sí mismo como Dios nos conoce; de pie adelante de Dios, tal como somos, con todas las debilidades y defectos. Y rezamos en consecuencia, dejar a Dios ser Dios.

TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY! In announcing his decisions to declare a Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said, “Dear brothers and sisters, I have often thought about how the Church might make clear its mission of being a witness to mercy. “Supporting the young churches throughout the world with your prayers and generous gifts is indeed a merciful witness of this mission. The collection today will help missionaries offer the poor of these areas practical help as they share the mercy of God. It will ensure the development of local dioceses, and support the work of priests, religious and lay leaders who serve those on the margins and in most need. Extend your merciful witness to the whole world through your gift in today’s collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith! ¡HOY ES EL DOMINGO MUNDIAL DE LAS MISIONES! Al anunciar su decisión de declarar un Ano Santo de la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco expreso: “Apreciados hermanos y hermanas, con frecuencia he pensado en como puede la Iglesia dejar clara su misión de testificar en misericordia. “Apoyar a las iglesia jóvenes de todo el mundo con sus oraciones y generosos aportes es de hecho, un testimonio misericordioso de esta misión. La colecta de hoy ayudara a los misioneros a ofrecer a los pobres de esta áreas practica mientras comparten la misericordia de Dios. También asegurara el desarrollo de las diócesis locales y apoyara el trabajo de sacerdotes y lideres religiosos y laicos, quienes sirven a aquellos que están marginados y que mas necesitan. ¡Extienda su testimonio misericordioso a todo el mundo mediante su aporte en la colecta de hoy para la sociedad para la Propagación de la Fe!
