PERSISTENT PRAYER To the best of our knowledge, the authors of the New Testament did not spend much time in each other's company following the Resurrection. They took their charge to go to the nations and spread the Good News seriously. Paul and Luke are an exception to this, having travelled together on missionary journeys. It is no accident, then, that perseverance in prayer is a favorite theme of both authors. Luke's Gospel (which speaks most frequently about Jesus' own prayer), Acts, and the Pauline Letters all exhort us to unceasing prayer. Paul's personality was certainly tenacious; he most likely would have admired the persistent widow in today's Gospel passage. The purpose of these passages is not to make us think--as infants and toddlers do--that if we keep asking or yelling or crying we will eventually get our way. No, the point is that when true disciples believe in something, we will persist in following that belief whether it is convenient or not, even when we come up against seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although the hours of daylight are rapidly dwindling, many people would say that these October days bring the year's most splendid weather. Americans are riders and joggers, not strollers, and so the pleasures of the season are often lost on us. This is not the case with many Jewish people, who observe an ancient rule in walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. On city streets and suburban sidewalks in many cities, we may notice around sunset the nicely dressed families walking and chatting on Friday afternoon. After a short prayer at dusk, the families stroll home again for a relaxing and festive meal. They return to synagogue in the morning, and then spend an afternoon in family leisure until three stars appear in the night sky and Sabbath ends. Catholics, on the other hand, pile into the car and drive even a short distance to Mass; some even divide the family to participate at different hours. For Jews, the leisurely walk marks a dividing line between hectic life commitments and a day of abundant joy and enrichment. Before we became an automobile culture, Catholics embraced a similar pace, and in most places walked to church. These lovely days of fall invite us to tap into an old and life-giving tradition. If you live within a mile of your church, walk next week. If you must drive, park at a good distance and walk the rest of the way. Talk about your life, greet strangers, notice the crunch of leaves under your shoes. You may be surprised at how different Sunday Mass feels when it is framed by leisure! -James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 20 de octubre de 2013 Levanto mis ojos a los montes: ¿de dónde me vendrá el auxilio?, el auxilio me viene del Señor, que hizo el cielo y la tierra. — Salmo 121 (120):1-2
Domingo 20 de Octubre. Domingo 29 Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios El problema para quienes solemos orar es que podemos no tener los resultados que esperamos: pedimos salud y seguimos encontrándonos mal; pedimos trabajo y no lo encontramos; pedimos un buen viaje y nos resulta lleno de dificultades; oramos para que aquella persona enderece sus pasos y la vemos a diario más extraviada. Y así, por el estilo, muchas otras cosas. Es cuando nos sorprendemos pensando que Dios se hace el sordo, convirtiéndose su aparente silencio en una grave tentación para nosotros. ¿Por qué he de seguir orando, si de todas maneras, nunca saco nada en claro? Dirán algunos. Así, pues, aunque resulta evidente que quien necesita ser ayudado ha de pedir ayuda, el Señor trata de convencernos de que hay que orar siempre sin desanimarse. Para eso nos propone una parábola, la del juez cruel que desprecia a la pobre viuda, y no acaba de hacer justicia con ella. Esa mujer acude una y otra vez a ese juez del que depende su bienestar, para rogarle que la escuche. Por fin el juez que se siente fastidiado con tanta súplica y asedio termina haciendo justicia. El Señor concluye diciendo que si un hombre malvado, como era el juez, actuó de aquella forma, qué no hará Dios con quienes son sus elegidos y le gritan de día y de noche. Les aseguro, dice Jesús, que les hará justicia sin tardar. De nuevo tenemos la impresión de que Dios está más dispuesto a dar que el hombre a pedir. En el fondo, lo que ocurre es que nos falta fe. Por eso, a continuación de esta parábola, el Señor se pregunta en tono de queja si cuando vuelva el Hijo del hombre encontrará fe en el mundo. Da la impresión de que la contestación es negativa. Sin embargo, Jesús no contesta a esa pregunta, a pesar de que Él sabe cuál es la respuesta exacta. Sea lo que fuere, hemos de poner cuanto esté de nuestra parte para no cansarnos de acudir a Dios, una y otra vez, todas las que sean precisas, para pedirle que no nos abandone, que tenga compasión de nuestra inconstancia en la oración y que tenga en cuenta nuestras limitaciones. Hay que orar siempre sin desanimarse. Hemos de recitar cada día, con los labios y con el corazón, esas oraciones que aprendimos quizá de pequeños. Muchas veces oraremos sin ruido de palabras, en el silencio de nuestro interior, teniendo puesta nuestra mente en el Señor. Cada vez que contemplemos una desgracia, o nos llegue una mala noticia, hemos de elevar nuestro corazón a Dios -eso es orar- y suplicarle que acuda en nuestro auxilio, que se dé prisa en socorrernos. P. Jairo

La humanidad entera, tiene la vocación radical de regresar a su fuente, que es Dios, el único en Quien encontrará su realización final mediante la restauración de todas las cosas en Cristo.

Legión de María Grupo Pro-Vida de Incarnation Somos un grupo que promueve el respeto y la defensa de la vida humana desde su concepción hasta su muerte natural. Convencidos de que nuestras oraciones pueden cambiar el pensamiento de una persona con respecto al aborto, nos reunimos a hacer el Santo Rosario por los niños no nacidos el último sábado del mes a las 9:30am en el santuario de los niños inocentes. Únase a nuestro grupo. Para más información comuníquese con: Azucena Zavala 813-410-5737 o Brunilda Reyes 813-841-5366.
