THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 25, 2015
Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ
- Saint Jerome, Early Church Father and Doctor of the Church
READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 25
SEEING THE SON OF DAVID
Today’s Gospel turns on an irony--it is a blind man,
Bartimaeus, who becomes the first besides the
apostles to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. And His
healing is the last miracle Jesus performs before
entering the holy city of Jerusalem for His last week
on earth.
The scene on the road to Jerusalem evokes the joyful
procession prophesied by Jeremiah in today’s First
Reading. In Jesus this prophecy is fulfilled. God,
through the Messiah, is delivering His people from
exile, bringing them back from the ends of the earth,
with the blind and lame in their midst. Jesus, as
Bartimaeus proclaims, is the long-awaited Son
promised to David (see 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Isaiah
11:9; Jeremiah 23:5). Upon His triumphal arrival in
Jerusalem, all will see that the everlasting kingdom
of David has come (see Mark 11:9-10).
As we hear in today’s Epistle, the Son of David was
expected to be the Son of God (see Psalm 2:7). He
was to be a priest-king like Melchizedek (see Psalm
110:4), who offered bread and wine to God Most
High at the dawn of salvation history (see Genesis
14:18-20).
Bartimaeus is a symbol of his people, the captive Zion which we sing of in today’s Psalm. His God has
done great things for him. All his life has been sown
in tears and weeping. Now, he reaps a new life.
Bartimaeus, too, should be a sign for us. How often
Christ passes us by--in the person of the poor, in the
distressing guise of a troublesome family member or
burdensome associate (see Matthew 25:31-46)--and
yet we don’t see Him.
Christ still calls to us through His Church, as Jesus
sent His apostles to call Bartimaeus. Yet how often
are we found to be listening instead to the voices of
the crowd, not hearing the words of His Church.
Today He asks us what He asks Bartimaeus,
“What do you want me to do for you?”
Rejoicing, let us ask the same thing of Him--what
can we do for all that He has done for us?

— Psalm 126:3
CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (CCC)
2616 Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during
his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his
death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith,
expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite
woman, the good thief) or in silence (the bearers of the
paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his
clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman).
The urgent request of the blind men, “Have mercy on us,
Son of David” or “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me!” has been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus
known as the Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of
God, have mercy on me, a sinner!”
Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always
responds to a prayer offered in faith: “Your faith has
made you well; go in peace.”

CATECISMO DE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA (CIC)
2616 La oración a Jesús ya ha sido escuchada por El
durante su ministerio, a través de los signos que anticipan
el poder de su muerte y de su resurrección: Jesús escucha
la oración de fe expresada en palabras, o en silencio.
La petición apremiante de los ciegos: “¡Ten piedad de
nosotros, Hijo de David!” o “¡Hijo de David, Jesús, ten
compasión de mi!” ha sido recogida en la tradición de la
Oración a Jesús: “¡Jesús, Cristo, Hijo de Dios, Señor, ten
piedad de mi, pecador!”
Sanando enfermedades o perdonando pecados, Jesús
siempre responde a la plegaria del que le suplica con fe:
“Ve en paz, ¡tu fe te ha salvado!”.
ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Mirando al Hijo de David
El evangelio de hoy es irónico. Un ciego, Bartimeo,
es el primero en reconocer a Jesús como Mesías
(aparte de los apóstoles). Su sanación es el último
milagro que hace Cristo antes de entrar en la ciudad
santa de Jerusalén, en la última semana de su vida en
la tierra.
La escena en el camino a Jerusalén evoca la
procesión gozosa profetizada por Jeremías en la
primera lectura de hoy. La profecía se cumple en
Cristo. Dios, por medio de su Mesías, libera a su
pueblo del exilio, trayéndolo desde los confines de la
tierra, con los ciegos y cojos andando entre los
demás. Jesús, como Bartimeo proclama, es el tan
esperado Hijo prometido a David (2S 7, 12-16; Is 11,
1; Je 23, 5). Cuando entre triunfalmente en Jerusalén,
todos reconocerán que el reino eterno de David ha
llegado (Mc 11, 9-10).
Como escuchamos en la epístola de hoy, se esperaba
que el Hijo de David fuera Hijo de Dios (cfr. Sal
2,7). Él estaba destinado a ser un sacerdote-rey,
como Melquisedec (Sal 110, 4), quien ofreció pan y
vino al Dios Altísimo en los albores de la historia de
salvación (Gn 14, 18-20).
Bartimeo es símbolo de su gente, el pueblo cautivo
de Sión, sobre el que cantamos en el salmo de hoy.
Su Dios ha hecho grandes cosas por él. Toda su
existencia había sido sembrada de lágrimas y
llanto; ahora cosecha una nueva vida.
Bartimeo también debería ser un signo para nosotros.
¡Cuántas veces Cristo pasa delante nuestro en la
persona del pobre, o disfrazado de miembro
problemático de la familia o de compañero difícil
(cfr. Mt 25, 31-46), y no lo vemos!
Cristo sigue llamándonos a través de su Iglesia,
como llamó a Bartimeo por medio de sus apóstoles.
Sin embargo, ¡cuántas veces nos halla escuchando a
la muchedumbre y no a las enseñanzas de su Iglesia!
Hoy nos pregunta como a Bartimeo,
“¿Que quieres que te haga?”.
Con alegría, preguntémosle igualmente: “¿Qué
quieres que hagamos en gratitud por todo lo que has
hecho por nosotros?”.

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 25, 2015
FOUR SETS
OF MYSTERIES
THE ROSARY
The Rosary is a Scripture-based
prayer.
It begins with the Apostles'
Creed, which summarizes the
great mysteries of the Catholic
faith.
The Our Father, which introduces
each mystery, is from the
Gospels. The first part of the Hail
Mary is the angel's words
announcing Christ's birth and
Elizabeth's greeting to Mary.
St. Pius V officially added the
second part of the Hail Mary.
The Mysteries of the Rosary
center on the events of Christ's
life. There are four sets of
Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful,
Glorious and––added by Pope
John Paul II in 2002––
the Luminous.
The repetition in the Rosary is
meant to lead one into restful and
contemplative prayer related to
each Mystery.
The gentle repetition of the words
helps us to enter into the silence
of our hearts, where Christ's spirit
dwells. The Rosary can be said
privately or with a group.
The Five Joyful Mysteries are
traditionally prayed on the
Mondays, Saturdays, and
Sundays of Advent:
† The
Annunciation
† The Visitation
† The Nativity
† The Presentation in the Temple
† The Finding in the Temple
The Five Sorrowful Mysteries
are traditionally prayed on the
Tuesday, Friday, and Sundays
of Lent:
† The
Agony in the Garden
Scourging at the Pillar
† The Crowning with Thorns
† The Carrying of the Cross
† The Crucifixion and Death
† The
The Five Glorious Mysteries
are traditionally prayed on
the Wednesday and Sundays
outside of Lent and Advent:
† The
Resurrection
Ascension
† The Descent of the Holy Spirit
† The Assumption
† The Coronation of Mary
† The
The Five Luminous Mysteries
are traditionally prayed on
Thursdays:
† The
Baptism of Christ in the
Jordan
† The Wedding Feast at Cana
† Jesus' Proclamation of the
Coming of the Kingdom of God
† The Transfiguration
† The Institution of the Eucharist
PAGE 6
PRAYING THE ROSARY
Familiarize yourself and/or
your group with the prayers
of the rosary.
1. Make the Sign of the Cross.
2. Holding the Crucifix, say the
Apostles' Creed.
3. On the first bead, say an Our
Father.
4. Say three Hail Marys on each
of the next three beads.
5. Say the Glory Be
6. For each of the five decades,
announce the Mystery, then
say the Our Father.
7. While fingering each of the ten
beads of the decade, next say ten
Hail Marys while meditating on
the Mystery. Then say a Glory
Be. (After finishing each decade,
some say the following prayer
requested by the Blessed Virgin
Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from
the fires of hell,lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those who
have most need of your mercy.")
8. After saying the five decades,
say the "Hail, Holy Queen,
followed by this dialogue and
prayer: V. Pray for us, O holy
Mother of God. R. That we may
be made worthy of the promises
of Christ.
Let us pray: O God, whose Only
Begotten Son, by his life, Death,
and Resurrection, has purchased
for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech thee, that while
meditating on these mysteries of
the most holy Rosary of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, we may
imitate what they contain and
obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our
Lord. Amen.

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
L
Heavenly Father, you have made
all human life in your image and
likeness. Give me the ability to
recognize that image in everyone,
so that respect for all human life
becomes my way of life.
Father, help me stand and give a
voice to those who cannot speak
for themselves. I commit my life
from this day forth to be an advocate for even the smallest of
human life.
Grant me boldness and courage
in the face of opposition. Help
me be an example of your love
for all your children.

The Prayer Process is
designed to be very simple,
yet deeply personal. It is
made up of seven simple
steps.
1. GRATITUDE
Begin by thanking God in a
personal dialogue for whatever
you are most grateful for today.
2. AWARENESS
Revisit the times in the past
twenty-four hours when you were
and were not the-best-version-ofyourself. Talk to God about these
situations and what you learned
from them.
3. SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS
Identify something you
experienced in the past twentyfour hours and explore what God
might be trying to say to you
through that event (or person).
4. PEACE
Ask God to forgive you for any
wrong you have committed
(against yourself, another person,
or Him) and to fill you with a
deep and abiding peace.
5. FREEDOM
Speak with God about how He is
inviting you to change your life so
that you can experience the
freedom to be the-best-version-ofyourself.
6. OTHERS
Lift up to God anyone you feel
called to pray for today, asking
God to bless and guide them.
7. PRAY THE OUR FATHER.

WHY CATHOLIC?
GOD'S REVELATION:
Scripture and Tradition
The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults defines revelation as the self-disclosure of the
living God. It is the act by which
God speaks to and forms a covenant
people (pp. 13-14). God's revelation
is a very personal act indicating a
choice, a desire, to be in an intimate
relationship with us.
Sacred Scripture is the Word of
God. It was inspired by God who
worked through human authors. Inspiration is the divine assistance which enabled them to write
what God intended them to write,
always using their own unique talents and ability in the process. In
other words, God did not dictate the
words of Scripture to them, but rather, acted through them to ensure
that the authors taught truths necessary for our salvation.
Build a
foundation
for life-long
learning!

The oral preaching of the Apostles,
the living transmission of the Gospel, is referred to as Tradition (with a
capital T). This distinguishes primary, unchangeable Tradition, such as
the two natures of Jesus as true God
and true Man from secondary tradition, such as devotions, or holy days
of obligation, which may be changed
to meet the changing needs of time
or culture.

CARACTERISTICAS
DE LAS PEQUEÑAS
COMUNIDADES
ECLESIALES (PCEs)
En su declaración pastoral, Llamados
y dotados para el tercer milenio, los
obispos católicos de Estados Unidos
hablan sobre el valor de las PCEs.
Declaran que las PCEs no solo nutren
la fe de los individuos, sino que son
células vivas que forman el cuerpo de
Cristo. Son signos e instrumentos de
unidades básicas de la parroquia,
sirven para aumentar la vida y la
misión comunitaria de la parroquia
compartiendo en esa vida sus talentos
y apoyo con generosidad.
También establecen las características
especificas de las autenticas Pequeñas
Comunidades Cristianas.
 Obediencia de la palabra de Dios
 Oración en común
 Compromiso mutuo de tiempo para
establecer relaciones personales
 Participación significativa en la vida
de la comunidad (parroquia,
congregación o universidad)
 Algún tipo de misión apostólica en
beneficio de la sociedad en general
 Unión a la fe católica
 Relación explicita de comunión con
la Iglesia
Los Animadores de las PCEs pueden
ayudar a sus párrocos ser promotores
de la incorporación de estas
características en la vida de las PCEs.
Al así hacerlo, llevan consigo su
sabiduría, la experiencia de su vida
familiar y de sus lugares de trabajo,
que servirá enormemente para
enriquecer la calidad de las PCEs.
Cuando los miembros de una PCE
asumen estas características como si
fueran propias y son evidentes para
toda la parroquia y la comunidad en
general, la parroquia resplandecerá
con autenticas PCEs.
No olvides inscribirte para las
próximas sesiones que empezó en
Octubre, 2015. Las tarjetas de
inscripción, están disponibles en la
oficina".
