Audio: Saint Teresa of Avila�

After having been a nun for twenty years, St. Teresa of Avila had a

radical transformation in her own life and then became one of the

most powerful forces for bringing about conversion and positive

change in the history of the Church. Listen and learn about this �

Mystic, Doctor of the Church, and True Reformer. �

who came from common stock and was known for his

simplicity, courage and love for humanity. �

R�

ender a just decision for me against my adversary.” Today’s Gospel features a persistent

widow who ekes out justice from a notoriously cold�hearted judge. Why does she win the

day? “Because the widow keeps bothering me.” Jesus’ recommendation to the disciples is

to be persistent in prayer, because surely God the Father is

far more attuned to their needs than this judge. If only it

were that easy, right? We’ve all experienced the unanswered

prayer, the silence after our cries. When this continues,

sometimes it can be difficult to have faith in God or believe

He answers prayers. It can be easy to lapse into a sense of

His distance. We want Him to do something “fair,” which �

in our limited view � typically means that something works

out in our favor.

� There are, of course, many legitimate cries for justice.

We live in a fallen world filled with flawed human beings. We hurt each other, sometimes

grievously, and our efforts to remake the world in our image can result in unjust, inhumane

systems. Faced with the problem of evil, we may wonder how God will “secure the rights of his

chosen ones.” Sometimes, He may well seem “slow to answer them.”

� In the face of these very real questions, it’s important to recall the words of the prophet

Isaiah, that God’s thoughts “are not [our] thoughts.” His ways are not our ways. God respects

the freedom He has given us. When we see what free will has wrought, perhaps we question

God’s better judgment! Yet somehow, we hear that He mysteriously works all things for our

good. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we are always free to love. We are invited to

be persistent in our prayer, to continue bringing our concerns before God in trusting surrender.

We are invited to love well in the circumstances we find ourselves in, to be a light in the

darkness. No matter when � or if � our prayers are answered the way we would like, we are

nonetheless invited to witness to “faith on earth.”�

This is a new society where our members help people

in our community who have difficulty doing things

because of age, sickness, disability, finances,

desire to help & understand that the time

visiting is as important as the work being done.

Volunteers will always work in groups of two or more.

If interested in volunteering OR if you need

help...please email H2O@stchrisredhook.org or

call 845�235�5985

We will have a meeting of all volunteers in a few
