SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
July 24, 2016
Pastor’s Corner:
Persevere in Prayer
Why is my prayer not answered? Why does it seem that God does not hear my
pleas and supplications? I am terribly suffering and why am I not relieved from pain inspite my devotions and prayers? I did nothing wrong and am a good person but why does
God not listen to my prayers? I THINK THIS IS NOT WORKING!
These are just some of the many questions we ask when frustration gets the best
of us. Worst, life goes downhill when this experience hit us. We are lost and confused,
we feel abandoned and neglected. But while discouragement comes as a natural reaction
to prayers apparently unanswered, the virtue of perseverance in prayer comes to us also
as a powerful response, if not the ultimate solution, to feeling destitute and isolated. Sadly, however, most of the times the latter never comes easy because the obstacles to persevering in prayer are just as intimidating to face, if not senseless to some, as the experience of hopelessness itself. And what are the obstacles to persevering in prayer?
First is impatience. When we pray, we often want to have the answer here and now! Indeed, desperate circumstances necessitate desperate and immediate answers. But sometimes God does not act that way. Sometimes our
prayers are positively responded but sometimes not. And if our prayers are not answered the way we expect them to
be, it should not be a reason for us to claim that prayer does not work. Someone commented that all our prayers are
answered, only that they are answered in three different ways: 1.) YES, if what we ask befits us right here and now;
2.) NO, if what we ask is not right for us here and now; 3.) LATER, if what we ask befits us but it is not yet right for
us to receive the answer here and now.
Second is losing the enthusiasm to pray. The attitude of persevering in prayer does not happen overnight. It
is rather achieved and made a part of one’s nature through constant and focused attention to prayer. Prayer is not like
something that we keep in our closet or bags when we do not need it and bring it out when we are in need of it. The
attitude towards prayers should be persevering and faithful because such exercise will create in us a certain confidence that prayer works. People who are seen as men of prayer are people who constantly pray in season or out of
season, good times or difficult times, healthy or ill. What gives them the perseverance to pray even during the most
trying and hard times is the conviction which they acquired over time that prayer works.
Third is not having faith in prayer itself. This is the most damning of all obstacles because when one loses
faith in prayer, faith in God who is the source of all answers to our hopelessness, frustrations, problems, sufferings
and pains, inevitably falls out. Prayer is our natural conduit with God and where else can we reach out to him and
surrender all our worries and problems if we do not believe in the power of prayer. Losing faith in prayer may have
been caused by unanswered pleas and supplications but God has almost always better answers to our needs and struggles and that is the reason why we need to keep on praying and having faith in Him. His ways are not our ways and
we need to be convinced that He knows what He is doing.
Our first and gospel readings this Sunday remind us about the benefit of persevering in prayer. They highlight the importance of keeping faith in God in the face of formidable adversaries and obstacles in life. God knows
all our needs and He answers them accordingly. We just need to trust, believe and never give up praying. Finally, I
hope you will enjoy this short poem about putting faith in God and in our prayer:
There’s no problem too big and no question too small,
Just ask Jesus in faith and He’ll answer them all.
It’s not always at once, so be patient and wait,
For our Lord never comes too soon or too late.
So just trust in His love and believe in His word,
For no plea is ignored and no prayer is unheard.
God Bless!!!!!

O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests;
For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests
dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy
Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen (By St. Therese of Lisieux )
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.”
(1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)
Daily Prayer for Vocations Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your
people, Priests with hearts like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

Perserverar en la Oración
¿Por qué mis oraciones no son contestadas? ¿Por qué parece que Dios no escucha
mis ruegos y súplicas? Estoy terriblemente en sufrimiento y por qué no estoy aliviado de
dolor a pesar mis devociones y oraciones? No hice nada malo y soy una buena persona,
pero ¿por qué Dios no escucha mis plegarias? CREO QUE ESTO NO FUNCIONA!
Estas son sólo algunas de las muchas preguntas que nos hacemos cuando la frustración obtiene lo mejor de nosotros. El peor de los casos, la vida va cuesta abajo cuando
somos golpeados con esta experiencia. Estamos perdidos y confundidos, nos sentimos
abandonados y descuidados. Pero mientras el desaliento viene como una reacción natural
a la oración aparentemente sin respuesta, la virtud de la perseverancia en la oración nos
llega también como una poderosa respuesta, si no la solución definitiva, a sentirse
desamparados y aislados. Lamentablemente, sin embargo, la mayoría de las veces éstas
nunca viene fácil porque los obstáculos a la perseverancia en la oración son tan intimidante a enfrentar, si no es absurdo para algunos, como la experiencia de la desesperanza. Y ¿cuáles son los obstáculos a la perseverancia en la oración?
La primera es la impaciencia. Cuando oramos, a menudo queremos tener la respuesta aquí y ahora! En efecto, circunstancias desesperadas requieren desesperada y respuestas inmediatas. Pero a veces Dios no actúa de esa manera. A veces nuestras oraciones son respondidas positivamente, pero a veces no son. Y si nuestras oraciones no son contestadas en la forma en
que esperamos que sean, no debería ser un motivo para que nos permite afirmar que la oración no funciona. Alguien comentó
que todas nuestras oraciones son contestadas, sólo que son respondidas en tres formas diferentes: 1.) SÍ, si lo que pedimos se
corresponde con nosotros aquí y ahora; 2.) No, si lo que pedimos no es correcto para nosotros aquí y ahora; 3.) DESPUES, si lo
que pedimos se corresponde con nosotros, pero todavía no es correcto para nosotros recibir la respuesta aquí y ahora.
Segundo es perder el entusiasmo para rezar. La actitud de perseverar en la oración no ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Es bastante logrados y forma parte de la naturaleza a través de una constante y centrado a la atención en la oración. La
oración no es algo que tenemos en nuestro armario o bolsas cuando no lo necesitamos y sacarlo cuando estamos en necesidad de
ella. La actitud hacia la oración debe ser perseverante y fiel porque tal ejercicio creará en nosotros una cierta confianza en que la
oración funciona. Las personas que son vistos como hombres de oración son personas que oran constantemente en temporada o
fuera de temporada, buenos momentos o tiempos difíciles, sano o enfermo. Lo que les da la perseverancia a orar incluso durante
los períodos más difíciles y los tiempos complicados es la convicción de que han adquirido con el paso del tiempo que la
oración funciona.
Tercera es no tener fe en la oración. Este es el más condenable de todos los obstáculos, porque cuando uno pierde la fe
en la oración, la fe en Dios, que es la fuente de todas las respuestas a nuestra desesperanza, frustraciones, problemas, sufrimientos y dolores, inevitablemente se cae. La oración es nuestro conducto natural con Dios y donde más podemos llegar a Él y entregar todas nuestras preocupaciones y problemas si no creemos en el poder de la oración. Perder la fe en la oración puede haber
sido causada por respuesta ruegos y súplicas, pero Dios tiene casi siempre mejores respuestas a nuestras necesidades y nuestras
luchas y esa es la razón por la que tenemos que seguir orando y teniendo fe en Él. Sus modos no son nuestros modos y debemos estar convencidos de que Él sabe lo que Él está haciendo.
Nuestra primera lectura y el evangelio de este domingo nos recuerdan acerca del beneficio de perseverantes en la
oración. Subrayan la importancia de mantener la fe en Dios, en el rostro de formidables adversarios y obstáculos en la vida. Dios conoce todas nuestras necesidades y Él les responde en consecuencia. Sólo tenemos que confiar, creer y nunca dejar de orar.
Por último, espero que disfruten de este corto poema sobre su fe puesta en Dios y en nuestra oración:
No hay ningún problema demasiado grande y ninguna pregunta demasiado pequeña, sólo pedir a Jesús en fe y Él te respondera a todas ellas. No es siempre a la vez, por eso debe ser paciente y esperar, Nuestro Señor nunca llega demasiado pronto o demasiado tarde. Tener la confianza en su amor y creer en Su palabra Ningúna suplica es ignorada y la oración nunca oído Que Dios los Bendiga! Padre Elmer

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes O Jesús,Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes.Por tus tibios e infieles sacerdotes;Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de
misiones.Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en soledad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes;Por tus sacerdotes moribundos;Y por quienes sufren en
el Purgatorio.Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero:El sacerdote que me bautizó;El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados;Los sacerdotes que
celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en especial (por el Padre______). O
Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux
Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones Jesús, Señor de la cosecha, Mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a
tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón semejante al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

R.I.C.A. Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos
La comunidad parroquiana de San Esteban extiende una
invitación a todos al proceso de RICA. La invitación es para
Adultos que nunca han sido bautizados y quisieran establecer
una relación con Jesucristo en la Comunidad Cristiana
Católica Romana. De igual manera la invitación es para
Adultos de otras comunidades Cristianas que quisieran ser miembro de la
Iglesia Católica. Católicos que aun no completan el Sacramento de Confirmación y Primera Comunión se les invita a que reciban los Sacramentos. A
Católicos que no han sido activos en su fe y quisieran regresar a una fe active
sacramental encontraran que RICA los guiara de nuevo a su Fe Católica. La
evangelización y el Catequesis son bases fundamentals en el programa de
RICA aquí en San Esteban. Para mas información, se puede comunicar con
Miguel Madera 760.580.1945 o a la oficina parroquial
760.749.3324. Las clases empiezan en agosto.
