Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Luke Luke 18:1-8

Just as our first reading was a victory story, so is the parable Jesus tells about the widow and the judge. A lowly widow comes before a judge, seeking her rights. The immoral judge ignores her, but the widow goes on pleading and nagging until he finally decides the case in her favor. He helps the widow not because he is good but because she is persistent. Jesus concludes that if a corrupt judge can do justice to someone who keeps on asking, God, the most just judge of all, will certainly listen to those who persist in prayer. 1.) Jesus himself provides a discussion question for this Gospel: "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" What do you think? How will you try to be one of these faithful ones?

Evangelio: Lucas 18:1-8 Al igual que en la primer lectura leímos una historia victoriosa, así también es la parábola que Jesús nos cuenta sobre la viuda y el juez. Una viuda llegó ante el juez pindiendo justicia. El inmoral juez la ignora, pero ella sigue pidiendo y demandando hasta que finalmente el juez decide el caso en su favor. El ayuda a la viuda no porque es bueno sino por la persistencia de ella. Jesús concluye que si un juez corrupto puede hacer justicia con alguien que le pide y le pide, Dios, el juez más justo de todos, ciertamente que escuchará a los que persisten en la oración. 1.) Jesús mismo ofrece una pregunta para el evangelio. "¿Cuándo el Hijo del Hombre regrese, encontrará fe en la tierra?" ¿Qué crees? ¿Cómo tratarás de ser uno de esos fieles?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco FOLDED HANDS

"All we can do now is pray." We often say this when human efforts have failed, but it puts God in the place of last resort. In the Gospels, Jesus tells his disciples pray first, next, and last. Don't wait; call on God now, cry to God, tell God your problems. Believe that God hears you and looks on you with love. All prayers are answered: God says "yes," "no," or "wait." Perhaps your friend with cancer needs reconciliation with a family member more than a cure. Maybe the job that fell through for your son was a wrong turn. Your children may return to the Church when they have children. God sees the bigger picture. Prayer is not supposed to persuade God to give us exactly what we want; rather it is a means to rest our concerns and desires in the heart of God, who will give us all we need. Start with folded hands and an attitude of trust. Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Living Stewardship Now When faced with an emergency or crisis, begin with prayer, such as "Jesus, I trust in you. Guide me to do your will in this and all things." Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

MANOS ORANTES "Todo lo que podemos hacer es rezar". A menudo decimos así cuando todos los esfuerzos humanos se

han agotado, pero esto significa poner a Dios como último recurso. En los evangelios Jesús dice a sus discípulos que oren primero, después y por último. No tardes; invoca a Dios ahora, clama a Dios, cuéntale tus problemas. Cree que Dios te escucha y que te mira con amor. Todas las oraciones son escuchadas: Dios dice "sí", "no" o "espera". Tal vez tu amiga con cáncer necesita más la reconciliación con un familiar que una sanación. Tal vez el trabajo que no se le dio a tu hijo hubiera sido una decisión errada. Tus hijos podrían regresar a la Iglesia cuando tengas sus propios hijos.

Dios ve el panorama completo. La oración no es para persuadir a Dios de que nos conceda exactamente lo que queremos, sino más bien para dejar nuestras preocupaciones y nuestros deseos en el corazón de Dios, que nos dará todo lo que necesitamos. Comienza con manos orantes y actitud confiada. Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora

Cuando confrontes una emergencia o crisis, comienza con la oración, como por ejemplo: "Jesús, en ti confío. Guíame para que haga tu voluntad ahora y en todo momento". Copyright (c) 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
