But Jesus tells us: 'Judge not and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.' And so, we say it every day in the Our Father: 'forgive us as we forgive'. If I do not first forgive, how can I ask the Father to forgive me? There is also another really beautiful image in the Gospel reading: 'Give and it will be given to you.’” — Pope Francis World Youth Day in Krakow: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World Youth Day in Krakow, where WYD's founder, Saint John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme coincides with that of Pope Francis' Jubilee Year of Mercy: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" (Matthew 5:7). Today's Gospel echoes the same theme, as Jesus unites prayer with mercy in "The parable of the persistent friend." Jesus teaches us not only what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer. How beautifully down-to-earth is Jesus' portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for us. A pesky neighbor disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical mercy in loaves of bread, recalling Luke's unique expression for the Eucharist, "the breaking of bread" (Luke 24:35; Acts 2:42). WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy toward our neighbor. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Ask. Seek. Knock. Do you know someone who is just so relentless? He tirelessly makes his point! She keeps at it and does not back down. They ask … and ask again … and yet again! Abraham, the merciful one, is just like that – reread of his persistence in Genesis 18:20-32. The friend is just like that, too, in Luke 11:1-13. And Jesus tells all who hear, and that is us today as well, be just like that in addressing God. Ask. Seek. Knock. Few words, fewer actions, great persistence. † How will my prayer be persistent this week? † For whom and for what will I pray? † How can I respond like God and open my door (and my heart), give food to the hungry, bargain for the innocent? No Price Too High In this stunning real-life drama, discover the sacrificial yet triumphant journey of a man of deep integrity and love for Christ. Reverend Alex Jones promised his congregation a real New Testament worship service. To prepare, he studied the works of the early Church Fathers. The astonishing events that followed culminated not only in his conversion to the Catholic Faith, but also that of 42 members of his flock. CD’s are available in the Gathering Space for $3.00each. Reflecting on God’s Word Be Careful What You Ask For Jesus talks about praying for whatever we need with faith and confidence, but he ends by asking, "How much more will the Father . . . give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" (Luke 1:13). Is he saying there are limits to what we can ask for? "Be careful what you ask for," the saying warns. Just because we want something doesn't mean it will be good for us. Remember the Indiana Jones movies? The artifact that the bad guys were seeking usually turned out to be lethal. But if we have enough faith to pray for something, we probably would not pray for anything evil. So what is Jesus really saying? He is giving us two lessons about prayer. First, he assures us that God does hear our prayers and answers them. Many people take "ask and you shall receive" so literally that they expect God to do their bidding no matter what they want. Prayers, however, are not a magical ritual that somehow forces God to do our will. God is free to do what is best for us, free to answer some prayers with a no when what we seek is against God's will. So maybe our first prayer should be to ask God to show us what we really need. That leads us to the second lesson: prayer changes us, not God. If we truly pray as Jesus prayed, we would ask for what we need, adding, "Not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). If we pray humbly and are open to what God wills for us, we will begin to see that what we really need most is actually God. It's not easy to change our minds about what we want or need. To change our desires from selfish to holy takes a lot of power, the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was raised from the dead by that power and we will be, too (Romans 8:11). Mary conceived by the power of the Spirit (Matthew 1:18). The bread and wine of the Eucharist become the Body and Blood of Christ by the Spirit's power. So when Jesus promises that the Father will give the Spirit to us for the asking, the Spirit is both the source of and the answer to our prayers. Let us ask the Spirit to empower us to desire and pray for what we really need. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Las dos peticiones siguientes “venga a nosotros tu reino” y “hágase tu Ministros de Eucaristía: Veronica O., Miguel L., voluntad” insisten en la misma idea de colaborar con él en la Saturday Lucy S., J.

Pedimos perdón, pues todos somos pecadores. David G. Prometemos que va nuestro perdón por delante. La súplica final en el evangelio de Lucas es que no nos deje caer en la tentación. EL REGALO DE LLAMAR A DIOS “PADRE” Ahí está amenazante el peligro de engañarnos a nosotros mismos 1.- “Dios es justo y misericordioso. Abraham es considerado buscando la felicidad por caminos equivocados. Mateo añadirá “líbranos del mal”, tal como decimos en el padrenuestro que como “amigo de Dios”, porque en él deposita el Señor su rezamos hoy. Al rezar el padrenuestro estamos poniéndonos en confianza. Por eso, Dios revela a Abrahán los planes que tiene manos de Dios con confianza filial para que nos guíe por el sobre la ciudad de Sodoma. Pero el conocimiento que tiene Abrahán de esa revelación le lleva a interceder por éstos delante camino adecuado 4.- La eficacia de la oración. La parábola del amigo suplicante de Dios. La conversación amistosa de Abrahán con el Señor de ayuda quiere mostrar únicamente la eficacia de la oración muestra que Dios rige el mundo con soberana justicia y dirigida al Padre. No debemos entenderla como si una petición preocupado por la causa de los débiles y excluidos. Dios está repetida hasta la saciedad doblegara, por ello mismo, la voluntad dispuesto a perdonar si se arrepienten y va cediendo ante la de Dios y lo pusiera a nuestra disposición. Dios sigue siendo Dios insistente intercesión de su amigo Abrahán. Este regateo y esta por encima de la oración del hombre, siempre soberanamente condescendencia revela hasta qué punto la justicia divina está libre, pero la insistencia en la oración, la oración continuada, es llena de misericordia. Dios sabe perdonar a los pecadores por amor a los justos y, de ningún modo, es su intención que paguen una señal de una buena oración, de una fe y de una esperanza que son don de Dios. Y si Dios nos concede ese modo de orar, justos por pecadores también nos dará lo que le pidamos. La oración es eficaz por la 2.- Un Dios que nos ama porque es Padre nuestro. Jesús nos bondad del Padre, no por nuestra insistencia o por nuestros enseña cómo debemos dirigirnos al Padre y qué es lo que tenemos que pedirle en nuestras oraciones. El cristiano no ora tan méritos. Si ya los hombres, siendo malos como son, no engañan a sólo porque sienta necesidad de hacerlo, sino porque Cristo le ha sus hijos y les dan lo que les piden, con mayor razón el Padre dará el Espíritu Santo a los que se lo pidan. ¿Qué otra cosa pide dicho que lo haga, porque está en comunión con él y con su Padre. La condición esencial de la oración, es pues, la obediencia el hombre, cuando pide cualquier cosa, que no sea la vida eterna? Pedimos pan, pero lo que deseamos de verdad no es el pan de y la fe que permiten estar unido al Padre; no es ya una cuestión cada día sino "el pan de vida", es decir, la vida en su plenitud. La de actitudes o de contenido sino de confianza íntima y desinteresada que no depende, en última instancia, ni de la calle oración constante es ya una prueba de que el Padre nos concede el Espíritu Santo y con él la vida eterna. Porque es el mismo ni de la habitación, ni de oraciones cortas o largas, ni del Espíritu, que habita en nuestros corazones, el que nos anima a individuo ni de la comunidad, sino tan sólo de la convicción de decir confiadamente: "Padre nuestro”. tener un Padre y de la obediencia a Cristo que nos dice que le hablemos en su nombre.
