TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY
IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 16, 2016
I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
whence shall help come to me?
My help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
— Psalm 121:12
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — As long as Moses’ hands were kept
uplifted, Joshua and his men had the better part of the
battle with Amalek (Exodus 17:8-13).
Psalm — Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven
and earth (Psalm 121).
Second Reading — Remain faithful; proclaim the
word; be persistent whether it is convenient or not
(2 Timothy 3:14 — 4:2).
Gospel — God will secure the rights of the chosen who
call out day and night (Luke 18:1-8).

Lk 12:49-53
DEPENDING ON GOD
“Getting by with a little help from our friends” is not
an idea that began with the Beatles. Certainly the
idea of “getting by with a little help from God” goes
back at least to the first reading today from Exodus.
How we get that help, however, is the key to this
weekend’s scriptures.
No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task
God had given him, he persevered—even though
he needed help from the people around him.
The Israelites especially depended on God for
freedom. The woman in the Gospel, desperate and
destitute, had no one to depend on, but still she
would not give up. She could not afford to bribe
the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into
weariness until finally he met her demands.
We sometimes need to turn to others to help us
through difficult times; but if we always turn to God,
we won’t be disappointed, for our help, the psalm
assures us, is from the Lord. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muy popular entre los latinos es la monjita francesa
santa Teresita, con sus rosas y crucifijo en mano.
No cabe duda que ella fue una gran mujer, pero no
podemos olvidar otra monja carmelita, la Teresota, o
sea santa Teresa de Jesús (de Ávila).
En 1970, esta hispana fue la primera mujer nombrada
Doctora de la Iglesia gracias a sus profundos escritos.
Teresa vivió en el siglo XVI, una época de mucha
reforma. Después de haber pasado varios años
como religiosa, se dio cuenta que su vida personal
necesitaba conversión. Así fue que se puso a orar y
practicar el recogimiento del alma. Ella confiesa que
pasarían casi 15 años antes de que estas prácticas
dieran fruto. Ella no se dejó vencer durante esos
quince años y siguió insistiendo en la oración hasta
que Dios le concedió visiones y visitas celestiales. Su
mística llena de gozos celestiales nunca la separó
LITURGICAL
de la tierra. Ella no se escondía en la oración, mas
bien salía de la oración para luchar en el mundo. Ella
inspiró la reforma carmelitana y sigue inspirándonos
hoy con sus escritos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.

JUBILEE YEAR OF
MERCY
Though Jesus told today’s parable more than two
thousand years ago, human nature hasn’t changed:
we recognize both characters instantly. The merciless
judge represents the corruption that has shortcircuited justice throughout history; the distraught
widow, society’s perennially powerless, marginalized
to what Pope Francis calls the “peripheries” by those
who wield power but lack the mercy that could
transfigure society with compassion. To confront such
reality, Jesus bids us, “pray always without becoming
weary” (Luke 18:1). Prayer opens our eyes to see others
from Jesus’ perspective, and leads us to work for
justice by coming to the aid of others with what Pope
Francis extols as a higher standard, mercy. Thus, when
Jesus asks, “Will not God secure the rights of [God’s]
chosen ones? Will [God] be slow to answer?” (18:7). We
respond by making God’s liberating work for others
our own. “[W]hen the Son of Man comes, will he find
faith on earth?” (18:8). Yes, we respond—and mercy!

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!
