RECOGNIZING JESUS The star of today’s Gospel is a panhandler. Bartimaeus is blind, yes, but he is probably also homeless and filthy, a real nuisance to respectable citizens. Even so, it is Bartimaeus who recognizes Jesus as the Messiah, places all his faith in him, throws aside everything he has (his cloak), begs him for mercy, receives new vision, and follows Jesus on the way to suffering and death in Jerusalem. How desperate will we have to get before we can do the same? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Eph 4:32 — 5:8; Lk 13:10-17 Tuesday: Eph 5:21-33 [2a, 25-33]; Lk 13:18-21 Wednesday: Eph 6:1-9; Lk 13:22-30 Thursday: Rv 7:2-4, 9-14; 1 Jn 3:1-3; Mt 5:1-12a Friday: Wis 3:1-9; Rom 5:5-11 or 6:3-9; Jn 6:37-40, or any readings from no. 668 or from the Lectionary for Ritual Masses (vol.

PRAYER BEFORE AN ELECTION Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty. We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned, Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

"Proeliatores Dei" is our parish's young adult group. Young adult parishioners ages 18-28 are welcome to join us every Thursday night from 7:30 - 9:00 in the Lion's Lair for faith, fun, and fraternity. For more information, please go to our website: www.thewarriorsofgod.org or call Fr. Philip at the church office (813-885-7861). We hope to see you there! I WANT TO SEE You have to admire Bartimaeus for sheer dogged persistence. A blind beggar, Bartimaeus called repeatedly to Jesus and would not be hushed. He “saw” Jesus—the healer, the forgiver of sins, the son of David. Jesus healed Bartimaeus, saying “Your faith has saved you.” Blindness was common in ancient times, and people believed it was the result of sin. We do not think that nowadays, but what about the spiritual blindness that holds us back from a full Christian life? Pride, jealousy, envy, greed, and similar sins are the usual suspects. But consider also lack of trust in God, failure to really believe the good news of Christ, a weak prayer life, and reluctance to do good. And let’s not forget hope. If we truly believe that sin and death are not the end, and that eternal life waits for those who love and serve God, then we cannot be blind to hope. Copyright © 2011, World Library Publications.

Living Stewardship Now Where is the weakest link in your faith life? Join in a prayer group or take part in a parish retreat. Make an appointment with a priest or a trained spiritual director and discuss ways to strengthen your discipleship. Copyright © 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
The Year of Faith With his Apostolic Letter of October 11, 2011 titled "Porta Fidei," Pope Benedict XVI declared that a "Year of Faith" will begin on October 11, 2012 and conclude on November 24, 2013. The first day of the Year of Faith, October 11, 2012, is the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) and also the twentieth anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study and reflect on the documents of Vatican II and the catechism so that they may deepen their knowledge of the faith.
A Family Prayer for the Year of Faith O God our Father, in Jesus you call all Christian families and homes to be signs of living faith. By the light of the Holy Spirit, lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith, and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son, and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy to all we meet. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 28 de octubre de 2012 Estábamos alegres, pues ha hecho grandes cosas por su pueblo el Señor. — Salmo 126(125):3
Domingo 30 Tiempo Ordinario. 28 de Octubre 2012 Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios El ciego del evangelio y el pueblo en el des erro son imágenes del hombre alejado de Dios, del pecador, de la debilidad errante. Volvamos a Dios y Él cambiará nuestra suerte. Pidamos, tengamos fe en Él y sigámoslo a Él. Como Bar meo, si queremos ver claro en nuestro mundo espiritual, deberemos pedirlo al Señor; es decir: abrirnos al amor gratuito que nos transformará por dentro, aprender que la iluminación de la mente y la salvación del espíritu vienen de Dios por medición de Jesús, porque Él es el sumo sacerdote que está puesto para representar a los hombres delante de Dios, y porque, tenida cuenta de su condición humana, puede ser comprensivo y paciente con los ignorantes y extraviados, puesto que Él mismo ha experimentado sobradamente las debilidades humanas, excepción hecha del pecado.
Nadie como Jesús podría ayudarnos a entender que Dios Padre siempre está dispuesto a disipar nuestra ignorancia con la luz de la verdad, a perdonar nuestros extravíos y a darnos la mano, para que andemos por el ancho camino que Él mismo abre delante de nosotros. Si, como el ciego de Jericó, nos acercamos a Jesús con fe y esperanza –confiadamente– podremos entender con claridad y vivir en nuestro interior aquellas palabras del profeta Jeremías: “vitoreen con alegría, a Jacob, aclamen a la primera de las naciones; háganse escuchar, celébrenlo y publíquenlo: “El Señor ha salvado a su pueblo”. Entonces podremos creer que se producirá en nosotros el cambio anunciado por el mismo profeta, diciendo: “los hago regresar contentos; los voy a llevar por los arroyos por un camino plano para que nadie se caiga”.
El camino de la fe comienza en la súplica y culmina en el seguimiento de Jesús. El ciego de Jericó implora a Jesús la curación y, una vez curado le sigue. En el borde del camino hay muchos ciegos encerrados en su oscuridad, en su limitación y soledad. No enen conciencia de su ceguera y creen verlo todo, saberlo todo y jus ficarlo todo. El orgullo les impide suplicar al Señor que pasa por el camino de sus vidas. Otros en cambio, desean ver la luz, la alegría y el resplandor de los colores, reconocen su ceguera y piden ser curados por el Señor que pasa. Jesús, el enviado para que los ciegos vean, cura a Bar meo.
El milagro es signo de la presencia del Mesías, el Hijo de David. La fe es la condición necesaria para ver; sin ella se permanece en la oscuridad, en la ignorancia. La fe hace oír el grito de los pobres ciegos que al borde del camino gritan, suplican y esperan que alguien les diga: ¿Que quieres que haga por ? P. Jairo

Para pensarlo El ciego Bar meo está al borde del camino, donde ni siquiera cae la semilla. Parece que todo está perdido, pero no, Jesús pasa.

28 de octubre de 2012 RECONOCE A JESÚS El actor estelar del Evangelio de hoy es un mendigo. Bartimeo es ciego, sí, pero es probable que también fuera alguien sin hogar y estuviera sucio, una verdadera molestia para los ciudadanos respetables. Aún así, Bartimeo es quien reconoce a Jesús como el Mesías, pone toda su fe en él, deja a un lado todo lo que tenía (su capa), le ruega que tenga compasión de él, recibe una nueva visión, y sigue a Jesús en el camino del sufrimiento y muerte en Jerusalén. ¿Qué desesperados tenemos que estar antes de que podamos hacer lo mismo?
