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.
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).

World Mission Sunday
(October 22-23, 2016)
DATE CHANGED BECAUSE OF A SPECIAL
ARCHDIOCESAN COLLECTION FOR HAITI
This Jubilee year marks the 90th
anniversary of World Missionary Day, first
approved by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and
organized by the Pontifical Society for the
Propagation of the Faith. It is appropriate
then to recall the wise instructions of
my Predecessors who ordered that to
this Society be destined all the offerings
collected in every diocese, parish, religious
community, association and ecclesial
movement throughout the world for the
care of Christian communities in need
and for supporting the proclamation
of the Gospel even to the ends of the
earth. Today too we believe in this sign
of missionary ecclesial communion. Let
us not close our hearts within our own
particular concerns, but let us open them
to all of humanity.
May Holy Mary, sublime icon of redeemed
humanity, model of missionaries for
the Church, teach all men, women and
families, to foster and safeguard the living
and mysterious presence of the Risen Lord
in every place, he who renews personal
relationships, cultures and peoples, and
who fills all with joyful mercy.
~POPE FRANCIS
Please be generous in your support
of the World Mission Sunday
Collection next weekend and use the
envelopes provided at the entrance
of church and in your bulletins.

Dimanche 16 Octobre, 2016
29ème Dimanche du Temps Ordinaire
La pauvreté de cœur pour
persévérer dans la prière.
En ce dimanche, Jésus nous propose une parabole
« pour montrer à ses disciples qu’il faut toujours prier
sans se décourager ». Le Seigneur veut souligner
l’importance de la prière, et spécialement l’importance
de la persévérance dans la prière de demande. Si
la veuve de cet évangile sait venir importuner le
juge inique au point de le faire fléchir et d’obtenir
satisfaction, combien plus notre prière d’intercession
trouvera dans le cœur de Dieu notre Père un accueil
juste et favorable. Jésus nous promet que la prière
tenace trouvera toujours satisfaction. Cette constance
est la qualité essentielle pour celui qui s’engage sur le
chemin de la prière. On pourrait presque dire qu’il n’est
pas difficile de commencer à prier, mais que la difficulté
commence lorsqu’il faut persévérer dans la prière.
La figure qui nous est donnée pour illustrer la
persévérance dans la prière est celle d’une veuve. Cette
veuve poursuit le juge de ses réclamations jusqu’à
ce qu’elle obtienne ce qu’elle attend ; et pourtant elle
aurait toutes les raisons de se décourager. La pauvreté
de cœur nous fait reconnaître nos manques et nos
besoins, et la capacité du Seigneur à combler ces
manques et ces besoins.
« Fais-nous toujours vouloir ce que tu veux et servir
ta gloire d’un cœur sans partage. »

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
DEPENDIENDO DE DIOS
“Llegar con la ayudita de nuestros amigos” no es
una idea que comenzara con los Beatles. Ciertamente la
idea de “Llegar con la ayudita de Dios” se remonta por lo
menos a la época de la primera lectura de hoy, tomada
del Éxodo. Cómo obtenemos esa ayuda, sin embargo, es
la clave de las lecturas de este fin de semana.
Sin importar lo incapaz que se sentía para las
tareas que Dios le había encomendado, Moisés perseveró
–aunque con ayuda de las personas que lo rodeaban.
Los israelitas dependieron especialmente de Dios para su
libertad. La mujer del Evangelio, desesperada y desvalida,
no tenía de quién depender, pero aun así no se rindió.
No tenía con qué sobornar al inescrupuloso juez, pero lo
molestó hasta el cansancio, por lo que finalmente éste
cedió a sus demandas.
A veces necesitamos acudir a otros para que nos
ayuden en momentos difíciles; pero si siempre acudimos
a Dios, no quedaremos defraudados; el Salmo asegura
que nuestra ayuda proviene del Señor.

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 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.
