Kenneth Cramer

The Latin phrase Ad Astra Per Aspera (to the stars through adversity) perfectly explains Kenneth Cramer's dedication to helping Catholics work

though life's struggles and transitions in order to discover God's abiding presence and unfathomable love. Abused

as a child, Kenn sank into drug addiction and a life of sin, ultimately facing a life-or-death decision. Following a

profound experience of God's grace, he worked his way out of despondency and discovered the truth that he is

deeply loved by our Father in heaven. In 2015, he and his wife Laura answered a call to serve as missionaries on the Ft. Belknap Indian Reservation in north central Montana,

where he continues to help others become aware of that same Love in their lives

Jubilee Year of Mercy

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jubilee of Marian Devotion

This weekend, the Jubilee honors Mary under the title Pope Francis suggests, “Mother of Mercy.” Recall the Good Samaritan Gospel. Priest and Levite saw suffering but showed no mercy. Recall the rich man, who never saw Lazarus right before his eyes, and showed no mercy. Today, Jesus sees ten lepers from afar and shows extraordinary mercy. Mary’s entire life, declares Francis, was modeled on Jesus, “Mercy-Made-Flesh.” Indeed, standing at the cross, Mary saw Jesus’ mercy take flesh when Jesus showed mercy to the executioners. So Pope Francis recommends we frequently pray the Salve Regina, Hail, Holy Queen, asking her to ever look upon us with mercy, so that we might be worthy to gaze upon the face of her merciful Son Jesus. May we do so not only in eternity, but here and now, opening our eyes to see Jesus in others, and our hearts to serve Jesus in others by loving deeds of unconditional mercy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Naaman, cleansed from his leprosy, returns to Elisha and pledges his belief in and allegiance to the LORD (2 Kings 5:14-17). Psalm — The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power (Psalm 98). Second Reading — Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead. If we persevere, we shall reign with him (2 Timothy 2:8-13). Gospel — After ten lepers are cleansed by Jesus, only one, a Samaritan, returns to give him thanks (Luke 17:11-19).

GRATITUDE Surely we can all recall at least a few days in our lives when things were going so well that nothing could put us in a bad mood. Maybe it was the day a very special person asked us to the senior prom, or perhaps it was our wedding day. Maybe it was the day we learned that we were expecting a long-awaited child, or the day we got an overdue promotion. There was elation in our hearts and lightness in our step, an extraordinary vitality throughout the day. We probably got on the phone right away to tell at least a few key people about our good fortune. This is surely how Naaman and the leper must have felt when they were rid of their terrible diseases. They were hard-pressed to contain their gratitude, and although they were both unfamiliar with the custom s of a foreign land, they had the good manners to thank the people responsible for their cures.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia

9 de octubre de 2016 Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jubileo de la Devoción Mariana

Este fin de semana, el Jubileo honra a María bajo el título que el Papa Francisco sugirió “Madre de la Misericordia”. Recuerda la historia del Buen Samaritano, el sacerdote y el levita no mostraron misericordia. Recuerda la historia del hombre rico que nunca vio a Lázaro que estaba a la vista de sus ojos y tampoco mostró misericordia. Hoy Jesús mira de lejos a diez leprosos y muestra una extraordinaria misericordia. El Papa Francisco dice que la vida de María moldeo la vida de Jesús, la “misericordia–hecha–carne”. De hecho, al pie de la cruz, María vio la misericordia de Jesús hacerse carne cuando Jesús mostró misericordia a los soldados que lo estaban crucificando. Por lo que el Papa Francisco nos recomienda que recemos frecuentemente la oración del Salve Regina (La Salve) pidiéndole que nos mire con misericordia, para que podamos ser dignos contemplar el rostro de su Hijo Jesús. Que no lo hagamos solo en la vida eterna, sino aquí y ahora, abriendo nuestros ojos para ver a Jesús en nuestros prójimos y, nuestros corazones para servir a Jesús en los prójimos con obras de misericordia de amor incondicional. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. .

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Naamán, purificado de su lepra, regresó a Eliseo y prometió obedecer al Señor (2 Reyes 5:14-17). Salmo — El Señor nos ha mostrado su amor y su lealtad (Salmo 98 [97]). Segunda lectura — Acuérdate de Cristo Jesús que fue resucitado de entre los muertos. Si perseveramos con él, también reinaremos con él (2 Timoteo 2:8-13). Evangelio — Después que diez leprosos se encontraron curados por Jesús, solamente uno, un samaritano, regresa para darle gracias (Lucas 17:11-19).

GRATITUD Seguramente podemos recordar al menos unos cuantos días en nuestras vidas cuando las cosas iban tan bien que nada podía ponernos de mal humor. Tal vez fue el día en que una persona muy especial nos invitó a su fiesta de graduación o el día de nuestra boda. Quizás fue el día en que nos enteramos de que tendríamos un hijo largamente esperado o el día en que recibimos una promoción tardía. Hubo alegría en nuestro corazón, ligereza en nuestros pasos y gran vitalidad en el curso del día. Probablemente nos fuimos al teléfono para llamar a unas cuantas personas importantes y contarles acerca de nuestra buena fortuna. Seguramente que así se sintieron Naamán y el leproso cuando fueron curados de su terrible enfermedad. No podían contener su gratitud, y aunque ambos desconocían las costumbres de un país extranjero conocían los buenos modales de dar las gracias a las personas responsables de sus curaciones.
