Sacred Heart Catholic Church Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time –June 17, 2018

Reflection from the Pastor:

Prayer is hard work. The Catechism talks about the “battle of prayer”,

because we have to work against our own weaknesses and against the

temptations of the evil one. Very wisely the Catechism speaks about how we

do not complain about God “not

hearing our prayers” when we praise

Him or thank Him, but we demand

immediate answers to our petitions. Is

our image of God like a vending

machine? The Catechism

recommends trust in the providence of God, that He will give us what is truly

good for us. I know that prayer is difficult; I too struggle with prayer. But, I

have learned over the years that there is nothing sweeter in the Christian life

than speaking with God frequently.

Meditación del Párroco:

La oración es un trabajo duro. El Catecismo habla sobre la "batalla de la oración", porque tenemos que trabajar

contra nuestras propias debilidades y contra las tentaciones del maligno. Muy sabiamente, el Catecismo habla de

cómo no nos quejamos de que Dios "no escucha nuestras oraciones" cuando le alabamos o le agradecemos, pero

exigimos respuestas inmediatas a nuestras peticiones. ¿Es nuestra imagen de Dios como una máquina

expendedora? El Catecismo recomienda confiar en la providencia de Dios, que nos dará lo que es

verdaderamente bueno para nosotros. Sé que la oración es difícil; Yo también lucho con la oración. Pero, he

aprendido a través de los años que no hay nada más dulce en la vida cristiana que hablar con Dios con frecuencia.
