Today! MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH Habakkuk is a complainer and he has lots to complain about. He sees what we still see in the world today: violence, misery, destruction, strife, discord. God’s response is not to intervene or to explain. God tells Habakkuk to describe, to imagine a world beyond the violence, misery, destruction, strife, and discord. The answer is given by Habakkuk in his vision of the world he hopes for. He must maintain faith in it for it to be made real. The psalm reminds us that the world for which we long can only be made real if we do not allow the harshness and imperfection that surround us to harden our hearts. Timothy reminds his community and us that faith in the face of hardship, delay, and discouragement requires courage. The apostles don’t seem to have a lot of courage. They seem to be frightened and complaining, wanting more of what they hope will ease their struggle in a difficult world, more faith to sustain them during difficult times. Today’s Readings: Hb 1:2–3; 2:2–4; Ps 95:1–2, 6–9; 2 Tm 1:6–8, 13–14; Lk 17:5–10

MÁS NUNCA ES SUFICIENTE El profeta Habacuc es un quejoso y siempre tiene algo de que quejarse. Él ve lo que todavía nosotros vemos en el mundo actual: violencia, miseria, destrucción, luchas, discordias. La respuesta de Dios es no intervenir o explicar. Dios le dice a Habacuc describir, imaginar un mundo más allá de la violencia, la miseria, la destrucción, las luchas y las discordias. La respuesta se le da a Habacuc en su visión del mundo que él espera. Él debe mantener su fe en este mundo para que sea real. El salmo nos recuerda que el mundo que anhelamos solo puede ser hecho realidad si no permitimos que la dureza e imperfección que nos rodea endurezcan nuestros corazones. Timoteo le recuerda a su comunidad y a nosotros que la fe ante las dificultades, el retraso y el desanimo requiere de valor. Los apóstoles parece que no tienen mucho valor. Parecen miedosos y quejumbrosos. Esperando más de lo que ellos esperan que aminore sus luchas en un mundo difícil, más fe para mantenerlos durante los tiempos difíciles. Lecturas del día: Heb 1:2–3; 2:2–4; Sal 95 (94):1–2, 6–9; 2 Tim 1:6–8, 13–14; Lc 17:5–10

Readings For The Week Oct 3rd—October 9, 2016 MONDAY Gal 1:6-12; Ps 111:1b-2, 7-9, 10c; Lk 10:25-37 TUESDAY Gal 1:13-24; Ps 139:1b-3, 13-15; Lk 10:38-42 WEDNESDAY Gal 2:1-2, 7-14; Ps 117:1bc, 2; Lk 11:1-4 THURSDAY Gal 3:1-5; Lk 1:69-75; Lk 11:5-13 FRIDAY Gal 3:7-14; Ps 111:1b-6; Lk 11:15-26 SATURDAY Gal 3:22-29; Ps 105:2-7; Lk 11:27-28 SUNDAY 2 Kgs 5:14-17; Ps 98:1-4; 2 Tm 2:8-13; Lk 17:11-19
