MERCY CORNER

God’s mercy is the overflowing of His loving kindness, beyond anything we deserve. It is His love bending down to meet our suffering and needs. Above all, it is the forgiveness of sin.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Theme: We are Eucharistic people. We live in praise and thanksgiving. Breaking Open the Word Suggested text for faith sharing: Today’s Gospel Step One: Listen to the Word Listen carefully to the Gospel of this week. What image in this story strikes you most forcefully? What word or phrase caught your ear? Step Two: Look into Your Life Question for Children: Make up a prayer which tells God you are thankful for everything you have, even if it’s not all you want. Question for Youth: Only one of the lepers re-turned to give thanks. This past week, when have you stopped to thank someone for something good they have done for you? When have you thanked God this week? Question for Adults: What are some ways you can think of to show gratitude to God? Make them con-crete and real.

October 13, 2019 - 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time “Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” (Luke 17:18) Most of us live “easy” lives. We have food, shelter, and clothing. We go on vacation every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this all for granted. Did you ever notice that people with the least amount of possessions are usually the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Take time every day and thank God for all He has given you.

Weekly Reflection October 13, 2019 Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson Widely considered one of the cornerstones of western classical music, Beethoven’s fifth symphony is one of the most frequently played, and most easily recognized. Its four opening notes are known world wide, and they can be heard even in commercials and other pop culture ver-sions. We can probably all hum the “short, short, short long” notes of it if we want, perhaps ahead of some big announcement. Similarly does St. Luke’s gospel, also a cornerstone of our faith, has a consistent theme that runs through it. Not a musical one, of course, but one of mercy and healing written for Gentiles, all those non-Jewish readers of the time. Luke’s masterpiece is from the outset a message of good news to the wide world, beyond that of the Jews. In this weekend’s selection, Jesus has already started on His long jour-ney to Jerusalem, a main thread of Luke’s writing leading to Holy Week. Along His way, He now comes to Samaria, land of the people so hated by the Jews. There He meets ten lepers and cures them. But, to His dismay, only one healed man comes back to thank Him. A dis-graceful 10 percent gratitude return! And who is the man but a Samari-tan! He is the first of two “Good Samaritans” Jesus will talk about. We will hear this story again in about 6 weeks in the Readings for Mass on Thanksgiving Day. For now, please concentrate, if you will, on Our Lord’s very human reaction. You can almost hear it in His voice. “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has no one but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Note two things here. First, that Jesus doesn’t use the word ‘Samaritan’, out of kindness or perhaps to avoid any hint of racism. Secondly, He gives the credit to God for the cure, although He later will reveal that He could have said it of Himself. Do you also hear sadness in His voice, one that often comes when love is unrequited? I can even imagine putting those feelings as a lyric to fit Beethoven’s famous four notes: “O Look how sad!” That question “Where are the other nine?” has a way of rolling down the centuries right to us. In a way, it embraces all the ingratitude to God that we his free-willed creatures, massed since creation. Sadly, that number includes most of us at times. We have been given so much by our good God, and yet our prayers mostly include requests for even more. Here is one of those rhetorical questions characteristic of homilies and waiting for the hearer’s answer: “Are you grateful to God?” If we’re honest with ourselves, our answer could prove embarrassing, leading us to a form of despair. But the good news is that our God loves us too much to hold our discourtesy over our heads. One sincere act of contrition, followed by praise of Him for His unfathomable goodness to us, you and me, and He smiles and reaches out to hug us as only He can. Back to Beethoven for a closing. I know nothing of that man’s religion, but I have to wonder whether or not he was a man who revered the Lord. Was he grateful? Note that he was already growing deaf when he wrote his fifth symphony sometime between 1804 and 1808. That sad condition was to be his until the end of his productive life as a master composer. But even though he never heard the actual notes played on an instrument, not to mention the audience applause afterward, he had the gift of “hearing” the notes in his brain as he wrote. More than enough to thank God. We who can hear those notes, and many more of his composition three centuries later, can and must add that to our list of things for which to be grateful. And no question about it, God will be smiling at us.

October 13, 2019 Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Saint of the Week Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin, 1656-1680

Kateri was born in upstate New York, the daughter of a Mo-hawk warrior. Her mother died of smallpox when Kateri was four and she was adopted by her two aunts and an uncle. Kateri had also contracted smallpox and the disease left her with a lingering illness and a disfigured face. During this time, the French Jesuits had undertaken an evangeli-zation mission to the Indians. Kateri’s uncle, a powerful Mo-hawk chief, warned her against the Jesuit “Black Robes” whom he blamed for the sickness and disease which had fallen on the tribe. The girl’s experience with the Jesuits was quite different however. She found them to be kind and gentle and through their message, she felt called to Christianity. Converted as a teenager, Kateri was baptized at the age of twenty and dedicated her virginity to Jesus. She developed a great devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist and to the crucified Christ. Her conversion in-curred great hostility among her tribesmen; but Kateri remained steadfast in her faith. She refused marriage which was consid-ered the duty of Mohawk women in order to have a man who would provide food for the family. In 1678, Kateri’s confessor, Father Jacques de Lamberville, fearing for her life, sent Kateri to a new Christian colony of Indians in Canada. Here, Kateri lived a life of prayer, penance, and care for the sick and the aged. Each morning, even in the bitterest winter, she rose long before dawn and stood at the chapel door until it opened at four. She remained there until after the last Mass when she went into the fields with the other women of the community. When their work was done, Kateri returned to the chapel for her daily Rosary and evening devo-tions. On Sundays and feast days, Kateri often spent the whole day in prayer at the chapel. Still suffering the effects of her childhood sickness, Kateri died during Holy Week in 1680. Her last words were, “Jesus, Mary, I love you.” The story is told that at the moment of her death, the scars on her face disappeared. Kateri Tekakwitha is known as the “Lily of the Mohawks” and a book by that name was written about her life. Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980, is the first Native American to be beatified in the Catholic Church. She is a patron of ecologists and environmentalists. We celebrate a Me-morial to this saint on July 14. Kateri's message today: Imagine the strong faith that this young woman developed in her short lifetime. When the vast majority of her tribe and the members of her family were against her, she stood resolute in her determination to dedicate her life to Jesus. Is your faith strong enough to stand up to your acquaintances—perhaps even your family—when they try to discourage you?

28º domingo en tiempo ordinario Primera Lectura : 2 Reyes 5:14-17 Den gracias a Dios por las cosas buenas que hace por ustedes.

La historia del Segundo Libro de Reyes es parte del ciclo de Elías-Eliseo de las leyendas proféticas. Cuando Naamán fue a Eliseo a pedir que lo curara, Eliseo lo mandó a bañarse siete veces en el río Jordán. La cura física de Naamán se convierte en la base de la fe en el Dios de Israel.

Segunda Lectura : 2 Timoteo 2:8-13 ¡La palabra de Dios no está encadenada!

La lectura de hoy de la Segunda Carta de Pablo a Tim-oteo es una continuación de la serie de exhortaciones por los ministros del evangelio. Los que experimentan dificultades con Cristo y por él, quienes mueren y son fieles a él hasta el final, vivirán con Cristo en el reino. Esta carta recalca las compensaciones y los castigos por servir y por incumplir.

Evangelio : Lucas 17:11-19 Estén agradecidos.

La lectura del Evangelio de hoy cuenta la historia de una curación. La ingratitud de los otros leprosos es un relato sorpresivo, pero el hecho de que uno de los agrade-cidos que regresó era un samaritano quizá fue más sorprendente para la época. El samaritano no solo es curado sino que también es sal-vado por su integridad y una apropiada relación con Dios.
