zapatos de los ingratos y tratan de amar sus realidades.
Ellas ruegan para que el Amor de Dios brille sobre los malvados y sobre los buenos;
sobre los indiferentes como sobre los comprometidos. Ellas no se apoyan en sus
propios recursos, y su confianza en Dios es tan arrolladora que Dios no puede dejar
de responder a sus ruegos. Son suficientemente cariñosas para ver que la maldad de
muchos se debe al poco amor que han recibido en sus vidas. Ellas entregan sus corazones, sus mentes y sus manos a Dios, de modo que Dios pueda trabajar con ellas.
Ellas no se agobian. Han respondido a la atracción gravitacional de Dios, por lo que
sus yugos son livianos y sus cargas ligeras. El amor les ha dado alas. Han renunciado
a sus intentos de regir sus propias vidas, y al rendirse incondicionalmente a Dios,
experimentan una alegría que las levanta. Han llegado a estar tan sintonizadas con
Dios, que se han incorporado, con gratitud, a su Llamado a servir.

class from Our Lady of the Gulf school in Port Lavaca
will participate in the International Pro-life Campaign 40
Days for Life. On Monday, October 28 these three
schools and the parishioners from these three parishes are
traveling to the Planned Parenthood on the Gulf Freeway
in Houston to peacefully pray for the end to abortion, the
protection of the unborn, and the conversion of hearts of
all those tempted to procure an abortion or who work for
the abortion industry. We will be at the Planned Parenthood from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.. I invite the pastors of
other parochial schools in the Diocese to bring their own
school children to join us! The prayers of children are
extremely powerful! I also invite any priest or religious

Sunday (October 20): "Keep praying and do not lose heart"
Meditation: What can a shameless and unjust judge pitted against a crusty and pestering woman teach us about justice and vindication in the
kingdom of God? Jesus tells a story that is all too true — a defenseless widow is taken advantaged of and refused her rights. Through sheer persistence she wears down an unscrupulous judge until he gives her justice. Persistence pays off, and that's especially true for those who trust in
God. Jesus illustrates how God as our Judge is much quicker to bring us his justice, blessing, and help when we need it. But we can easily lose
heart and forget to ask our Heavenly Father for his grace and help. Jesus told this parable to give fresh hope and confidence to his disciples. In
this present life we can expect trials and adversity, but we are not without hope in God. The Last Judgment will reveal that God's justice triumphs
over all the injustices perpetrated by his creatures and that God's love is stronger than death (Song of Songs 8:6). The just can look forward with
hope to that day when they will receive their reward.
Jesus ends his parable with a probing question for us. Will you and I have faith — the faith that perseveres to the end — of time when Jesus returns in glory to judge the living and the dead? Faith is an entirely free gift that God makes to us. If we want to live, grow, and persevere in the
faith until the end, then we must nourish it with the word of God and ask the Lord to increase it (Luke 17:5). When trials and setbacks disappoint
you, where do you place your hope? Do you pray with expectant faith and confidence in God's merciful care and providence for you?
"Lord, give me faith to believe your promises and give me perseverance and hope to withstand trials and adversities. Help me to trust in your
unfailing love and to find joy and contentment in you alone."
