Tres cosas me impactaron de la escritura hoy. 1) la misericordia de Dios es increíble. 2)
La persistencia de la fe de Abraham, incluso delante de Dios Todopoderoso. 3) La última
oración que nos es enseñada por Jesús mismo.
En la lectura de Génesis hoy, Dios pretende destruir Sodoma y Gomorra a causa de sus
decadencias y maldades. Fue Abraham con su persistencia de la fe en la misericordia que
mantuvo pidiéndole a Dios para salvar a la gente ya si hubiera 50, 45, 40, 30 20 y solo 10
personas que eran inocentes ante los ojos de Dios. Dios cedió en su misericordia que salvó
a los inocentes y a los injustos. Este hombre, Abraham, persistente hasta el final con Dios,
aunque él mismo se dio cuenta que era sino polvo y cenizas. Entonces Dios, que entendía
la profundidad de fe de Abraham, cedió de destruir dos ciudades a favor de los justos que
vivían allí.
En la segunda lectura de los Colosenses, Pablo nos dice cuán sorprendente Jesús es que él
perdonaría nuestras transgresiones, sacrificando al único Hijo de Dios clavado en una cruz. Una vez más, la gran
misericordia de Dios nos habla.
Finalmente, el Evangelio está lleno de cosas que necesitamos día a día. Lucas nos cuenta la historia de cómo
llegamos a conocer la oración perfecta: el Padre Nuestro. Y luego pasa a contar una historia sobre la misericordia
y la persistencia. Tengo algunas frases favoritas de esta historia así que aquí les van. "No me molestes; la puerta
ya ha sido cerrada y mis hijos y yo estamos ya en la cama. No puedo levantarme a darte nada." O esta: "¿Qué
padre entre vosotros le da a su hijo una serpiente cuando le pide un pescado?" Y esta, aunque está fuera de orden
en la historia; … "pida y deberá recibir, busque y deberá encontrar, tocar y se le abrirá."
Jesús nos mostró lo que es una oración con gratitud, alabanza y búsqueda de nuestras necesidades para el día,
junto con la búsqueda del perdón de Dios mientras que nosotros perdonamos a los que nos rodean. Esta es
nuestra manera de ser persistente. Es nuestra manera de pedir perdón y la fuerza para perdonar. Es reconocer
que Dios está en el centro de todo y por último solicitando las necesidades de hoy para ser atendidos. ¡Increíble!
La persistencia es algo que realmente resuena conmigo. Le puedo decir inequívocamente que he sido 'persistente'
con cada pastor en cada parroquia que he trabajado. ¡Pregúntele al Padre Ricardo! ¡Pero sé, de ambas creencias
y experiencia que cuando se busca se encontrará, cuando se pide se dará, y cuando uno es persistente en tocar a la
puerta se abrirá! La persistencia cuenta. ¡A veces no nadie escucha, a menudo no están de acuerdo con usted, y a
veces la paciencia se pierde lleva con los que son persistente!
Entonces está la misericordia. Abraham es una buena lección por hoy. Vio el bien de unos pocos y Dios cedió.
Mientras que Abraham tuvo persistencia él también empujaba a que Dios tenga misericordia. Finalmente, Dios
decidió ceder y ser misericordioso, y salvar las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra.
Tengo un par de sugerencias que podríamos recordar esta semana. Trate de no solo recitar el Padre Nuestro en la
Misa o en sus oraciones privadas, realmente preste atención a lo que está orando. ¡Las palabras son perfectas! Es
una oración totalmente poderosa. Es bastante fácil de ir en piloto automático cuando oramos el rezo más famoso
en la cristiandad. Preste atención especial esta semana.
Observe cómo usted puede ser más misericordioso con alguien esta semana. No tiene que ser un acto enorme,
pero quizás puede ser un poco más amable con alguien que lo irrita u olvidarse de algo que le ha molestado. Tal
vez hacer una donación a la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul.
¡Aquí esta lo difícil! ¡Sea persistente esta semana! Pida, busque y toque... No me refiero a seguir jugando a la
lotería. Me refiero a las cosas importantes.
Y no olvide que lanzamos nuestra celebración centenaria el sábado, 27 de agosto en la Misa de las 5:00PM. Nos
encantaría tener a toda la parroquia en asistencia para celebrar en canto y oración. Anote su calendario por
favor. ¡Asistirá el Obispo Manz, el Padre Ric, el Padre Tom, los diáconos Faustino y Moisés, así como otros
sacerdotes que han sido parte de nuestra parroquia!
Por favor acompáñenos para hacer un esfuerzo especial al celebrar nuestro pasado y mirar a nuestro futuro
como nuestra comunidad católica aquí en la Addison y Lavergne.

Three things strike me immediately about the scripture today. 1) The Mercy of God is
unbelievable. 2) Persistence of faith by Abraham, even in front of God Almighty. 3)
The ultimate prayer is taught to us by Jesus Himself.
In The Genesis reading today, God intended to destroy both Sodom and Gomorrah
because of their decadence and sinfulness. It was Abraham, with his persistence of faith
in mercy, who kept asking God to save the people if there were but 50, 45, 40, 30 20 and
then 10 people who were innocent in God’s eyes. God relented and in His mercy saved
the innocent and the unjust. This man, Abraham, persistent to the end, who kept after
God, though he himself realized he was but dust and ashes. Then God, who understood
exactly how deep Abraham’s faith went, relented from destroying two cities in favor of
the just who lived there.
In the second reading from Colossians, Paul tells us just how amazing Jesus is that he
would forgive our transgressions, using God’s Only Son nailed to a cross to do it. Again, the great mercy of God
speaks to us.
Finally, the Gospel is jammed packed with stuff we need on a day to day basis. Luke places the story of how we
came to know the perfect Prayer - The Our Father. He then goes on to tell a story about Mercy and persistence.
I have some favorite lines from this story so please bear with me. “Do not bother me; the door has already been
locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.” Or this one: “What
father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish?” And this one, albeit out of order in the
story (for my purposes); … “ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to
you.”
Jesus showed us just what an attitude of prayer containing gratitude, praise, and seeking our needs for the day,
coupled with seeking God’s forgiveness while we forgive those around us. This is our way of being persistent. It is
our way of asking for forgiveness and the strength to forgive. It is acknowledging that God is at the heart of it all,
and finally petitioning for the needs of today to be taken care of. Powerful Stuff!
The whole persistence thing is something that really resonates with me. I can tell you unequivocally that I have
‘persisted’ with every Pastor in every parish I have worked in, and often much to their chagrin! Just ask Fr. Ric!
But I do know from both belief and experience that when you seek you shall find, when you ask it will be given,
and when you are persistent at knocking the door will be opened to you! Persistence counts. Sometimes no one
is listening, and often as not, they disagree with you, and sometimes patience wears thin on those receiving your
persistence!
Then there is Mercy. Abraham is a good lesson to walk away with today. He saw the good in a few people and
God relented. While Abraham had persistence (or hutzpah) he was also pushing for God to have Mercy. Even
though God holds all the cards, He decided to relent, and be merciful, saving the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
I have a few things that we might take with us this week if I might be so bold. Try not just reciting the Our
Father at Mass or in your private prayers….actually pay attention to what you are praying. The words are
perfect! It is a totally powerful prayer. It is rather easy to just go into auto pilot when we pray this most
familiar of all prayers in Christendom. Just pay attention to them this week.
Look for how you can be demonstrably merciful to someone this week. It doesn’t have to be huge or life
shattering, but perhaps being a bit kinder to someone who irks you, or letting something go that might be
bugging you. Perhaps donate something to The St. Vincent DePaul Society.
Here is the tough one! Be persistent this week! Ask, seek and knock…..I don’t mean keep playing the lottery…I
mean for the important stuff. If it is truly important go after it! Don’t let it slip by you!
OH…and don’t forget that we open our Centennial Celebration on August 27th at the 5:00PM Saturday Mass.
We’d love to have every single person in the parish attending! Pack the house and raise the roof in prayer and
song! Mark your calendars please. Bishop Manz, Fr. Ric, Fr. Tom, Deacons Moises and Faustino, as well as
other priests who have either been our shepherds or associates in the past will be with us too!
Please join us, make a special effort as we celebrate our past but most importantly look to our future as the
Catholic Community here at Addison and Lavergne.

KEEP PRAYING
SIGUE REZANDO
St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is
often known as “the persistent mother.” She
watched her oldest son, Augustine, turn his back
on his Christian faith.
Santa Mónica, cuya fiesta celebramos en agosto,
se conoce generalmente como “la madre
persistente”. Ella vio como su hijo mayor,
Agustín, le daba la espalda a su fe cristiana.
Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up
talking directly to her son on the advice of a local
bishop, who told her that it was better to talk to
God about Augustine then to Augustine about
God.
Mónica estaba exasperada. Durante años se dio
por vencida de hablar directamente a su hijo
siguiendo el consejo de un obispo de la región que
le dijo que era mejor hablar con Dios sobre
Agustín que con Agustín sobre Dios.
The mother never gave up praying for her son.
Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was
baptized, and later ordained and named bishop of
Hippo. St. Augustine went on to become one of
the Church’s greatest scholars.
La madre nunca dejó de rezar por su hijo.
Finalmente, Agustín abandonó su rebeldía, fue
bautizado y luego ordenado y nombrado obispo
de Hipona. San Agustín se convirtió en uno de los
eruditos más importantes de la Iglesia.
Today’s readings address the importance of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of trepidation
that he is bothering the Lord, continues to ask
about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in
Luke’s Gospel, tells his disciples to “ask and you
will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the
door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). This is
our charge: keep praying.
Las lecturas de hoy destacan la importancia de la
oración persistente. Abraham, a pesar de temer
molestar al Señor, continúa preguntándole sobre
el destino de Sodoma y Gomorra. Jesús, en el
Evangelio según san Lucas, le dice a sus
discípulos “pidan y se les dará, busquen y
encontrarán, toquen y se les abrirá” (Lucas 11:9).
Esta es nuestra tarea: seguir rezando.
