THIRTIETH SUNDAY
IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 23, 2016
The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds;
it does not rest until it reaches its goal,
nor will it withdraw
till the Most High responds.
— Sirach 35:1718a
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The Lord is a God of justice who
hears the cry of the oppressed, the orphan, the widow,
the lowly (Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18).
Psalm — The Lord hears the cry of the poor (Psalm 34).
Second Reading — The crown of righteousness awaits
me (2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18).
Gospel — The tax collector stood at a distance, beat
his breast, and prayed, “O God, be merciful to me, a
sinner” (Luke 18:9-14).

NO HACER COMPARACIONES
¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado acerca
de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso
despedido de su empleo, por un roce con la ley?
Mientras nuestras mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que
nos apiademos de esa persona y que roguemos por
ella, puede que una vocecita interior también esté
diciendo: “Me alegro de que yo nunca haría algo así”.
Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas cosas
que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas
de hoy nos advierten no mirar tan atentamente
a las maldades de otros que pasamos por alto
nuestras propias debilidades y defectos. Cuando
nos comparamos con las peores personas a nuestro
alrededor, salimos bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay
un peligro en usar la conducta ajena como medida
para reflejar nuestras propias virtudes.

TREASURES FROM OUR
TRADITION
Imagine the frustration of bishops who work
strenuously over their ad limina reports, directing
study committees, assembling data, honing the texts,
traveling to Rome “to the threshold,” only to have it all
collapse into a fifteen-minute group meeting with the
pope. More than a few have grumbled at the weight
of this “treasure” from our tradition, yet from the
pope’s vantage point, they are essential to his ministry.
Pope John Paul II recalled his own experience as the
Bishop of Kraków, visiting with Pope Paul VI in the late
1960s and early 1970s. The memory of those individual
visits caused him to strengthen the format, assuring
each of the world’s 2,744 bishops a privileged fifteen
private minutes with the pope every five years. If you
wonder what the pope does all day, the thought of
dealing with five hundred bishops a year and reading
their detailed reports on diocesan life should help
LITURGICAL
fill up the calendar. Pope John Paul II used to say
that he approached each individual meeting with
the personal goal of learning something new about
the Church, and his lively interest made the visits
immensely worthwhile. The content of the private
meetings remains under a privilege of secrecy, or as
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick once said, “You’re only
supposed to quote the pope if he tells a joke.” —FRev.

JUBILEE YEAR OF
MERCY
Today’s Gospel graces us with a beautiful prayer that
can make every day of our lives a jubilee of mercy:
“O God, be merciful to me a sinner” (Luke 18:13).
Religious Israelites despised the tax collector who
prayed it, for collaborating with Gentile occupiers
and handling currency that bore the “divine”
emperor’s graven image. But the Pharisee’s longwinded self-congratulation, mixed with self-righteous
condemnation, was no “prayer” at all. “The Pharisee . .
. spoke this prayer to himself” (18:11, emphasis added).
Praying the tax collector’s simple, sincere, succinct
cry for mercy acknowledges our own sinfulness, and
“welcomes” other sinners as brothers and sisters with
whom we can identify, even empathize, echoing
Pope Francis’ famous comment about not being the
one to judge. Indeed, the tax collector “went home
justified” (18:14), that is, restored to God’s friendship,
for God’s mercy is not prize achieved but gift received.
“Let your prayer be brief: for tax collector, prodigal
son, and dying thief were all reconciled to God by a
single phrase!” (Saint John Climacus, 7th century). —

AÑO JUBILAR DE LA MISERICORDIA
Aunque Jesús contó la parábola de hoy hace más
de dos mil años pareciera que la naturaleza humana
no ha cambiado: reconocemos a personajes de
la parábola instantáneamente. El juez injusto
representa la corrupción que tienen los sistemas
que administran la justicia a lo largo de la historia;
la viuda desesperada representa a la suplicante
sociedad impotente y marginada, a quien el Papa
Francisco llama “las periferias”, por aquellos que
ejercen el poder pero les falta misericordia que
pueda transformar con compasión a la sociedad. Para
hacer frente a esta realidad Jesús nos invita a “orar

siempre, sin desfallecer” (Lucas 18:1). La oración abre
nuestros ojos para ver a otros desde la perspectiva
de Jesús y, nos guía a trabajar por la justicia yendo a
la ayuda de los demás, con lo que el Papa Francisco
enaltece entusiasmadamente como una norma
muy alta, la misericordia. Por lo tanto, cuando Jesús
pregunta “Dios, ¿no hará justicia a sus elegidos que
claman ante él día y noche?; ¿o les dará largas? (18:7).
Respondemos haciendo nuestro el trabajo liberador
de Dios que hace por los demás. “Cuando venga el
Hijo del hombre, ¿encontrará esta fe en la tierra? (18:8).
¡Responderemos sí, y además misericordia!
