Scripture Reflec"on

As I reflected on the Reading selec"ons for today, Exodus 32: 7-11,13-

14, Timothy 1: 12-17, Luke 15: 1-32 and for good measure, Psalm 51,

there are so many good stories that made me think about my rela-

"onship with God, but there was one main theme that jumped out at

me.

In Exodus, The Lord was very angry with his people, Israel, because of

their idolatry, worshiping a golden calf. Moses intervened poin"ng

out all of the Lord’s promises. So, the Lord relented in the punish-

ment he had threatened.

Psalm 51, one of my favorites, asks God outright, “Have mercy on me,

O God.”

Paul was saying to Timothy in his le$er that Jesus considered Paul

trustworthy even though he had once been an arrogant blasphemer

and persecutor. Paul considered himself the worst of sinners. But,

Jesus came into the world to save sinners and for that reason Paul

was mercifully treated.

Then, Jesus relates several parables in the

Gospel with which we are very familiar.

The first tells us of a single sheep being lost

and the shepherd leaves the flock to search

for and find the lost one. There is a great

celebra"on of joy because, it was lost and

now is found. The next parable explains

how a woman lost one of ten coins. She

searches diligently and when she finds it, she calls her neighbors to

celebrate with her when she tells them, “I found the coin I lost”. In

the last story, Jesus describes a father who had two sons. The young-

er asks his father for his inheritance and when his father grants his

request, the son leaves home and goes to a far country. He spent his

money on extravagant and loose living un"l he is poor. He is sent to

feed swine but is not allowed even to share their food. He decides to

return to his father to beg his forgiveness. But, the father has been

looking for him since he le'. He sees him coming at a distance, runs

to meet him, greets him with a kiss, puts a ring on his finger, dresses

him in fine clothes and celebrated with a feast, saying, “ This son of

mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been

found. I believe these readings are poin"ng to one of God’s most

loving a$ributes of over-abundant, extravagant, everlas"ng MERCY.

Look! In CD format, Le%er to the Elderly from Pope John Paul

II by Lighthouse Talks, Augus"ne Ins"tute.

In 1978, Pope John Paul II became one of the youngest popes

ever elected. At the "me of his death in 2005, he was also one

of the longest serving popes, having lived into his early

80s. From his own experience of growing old, and only five and

a half years before his death, John Paul wrote and shared this

moving le$er, addressed “To my elderly brothers and sis-

ters.” His le$er shares and cherishes the experiences, beauty,

agony, and dignity of growing old and drawing closer to

God. Enjoy the CD.

MISSION - St. Mother Teresa continued

Life was very challenging for Mother Teresa a'er she le' the

convent to serve the poorest of the poor. She had a comforta-

ble life in the convent and she loved teaching, praying and liv-

ing community life with other sisters. Now her heart was

drawn to care for the sick and the dying, so she went for a

short medical course with the Medical Mission Sisters in Patna,

in the state of Bihar. A'er the medical course, she returned to

Calcu$a and found temporary lodging with the Li$le Sisters of

the Poor. On 21 December she went for the first "me to the

slums. She visited families, washed the sores of some children,

cared for an old man lying sick on the road and nursed a wom-

an dying of hunger and TB. This would become her everyday

ministry. She started each day in communion with Jesus in the

Eucharist and then went out, rosary in her hand, to find and

serve Him in “the unwanted, the unloved, the uncared

for.” A'er some months, she was joined, one by one, by her

former students.

On 7 October 1950 the new congrega"on of

the Missionaries of Charity was officially es-

tablished in the Archdiocese of Calcu$a. By

the early 1960s, Mother Teresa began to

send her Sisters to other parts of India. Then

the Missionaries of Charity opened a house in

Venezuela in 1965. It was soon followed by

founda"ons in Rome and Tanzania and, eventually, on every

con"nent. Star"ng in 1980 and con"nuing through the 1990s,

Mother Teresa opened houses in almost all of the communist

countries, including the former Soviet Union, Albania and Cu-

ba.

In order to respond be$er to both the physical and spiritual

needs of the poor, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of

Charity Brothers in 1963, and in 1984 the Missionaries of Chari-

ty Fathers. Yet her inspira"on was not limited to those with

religious voca"ons. She formed the Co-Workers of Mother Te-

resa and the Sick and Suffering Co-Workers, people of many

faiths and na"onali"es with whom she shared her spirit of

prayer, simplicity, sacrifice and her apostolate of humble works

of love. This spirit later inspired the Lay Missionaries of Charity.

During the years of rapid growth, the world began to turn its

eyes towards Mother Teresa and the work she had started. She

received numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in

1979. She received both prizes and a$en"on “for the glory of

God and in the name of the poor.”
