Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 20, 2013
I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
whence shall help come to me?
My help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
— Psalm 121:1-2
PERSISTENT PRAYER
To the best of our knowledge, the authors of the New Testament did not spend much time in each other’s
company following the Resurrection. They took their charge to go to the nations and spread the Good News seriously.
Paul and Luke are an exception to this, having travelled together on missionary journeys. It is no accident, then, that
perseverance in prayer is a favorite theme of both authors. Luke’s Gospel (which speaks most frequently about Jesus’
own prayer), Acts, and the Pauline Letters all exhort us to unceasing prayer.
Paul’s personality was certainly tenacious; he most likely would have admired the persistent widow in today’s
Gospel passage. The purpose of these passages is not to make us think—as infants and toddlers do—that if we keep
asking or yelling or crying we will eventually get our way. No, the point is that when true disciples believe in something,
we will persist in following that belief whether it is convenient or not, even when we come up against seemingly
insurmountable obstacles.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL R.C.I.A.
Every year, Thank God, we have about twenty people who join St.
Teresa of Avila through our R.C.I.A. program. Every Monday morning at
Mass we offer special prayers for those who are pondering life as a Catholic
and for those who have drifted away from the Catholic Faith. I know prayer helps, but so
does the tradition of our community of being welcoming to others. I hear from Catechumens
and Candidates that in our loving and welcoming community, questions and people's sacred
journeys are respected.
The Holy Spirit is our host and teacher. This year 25 have begun the journey towards Easter
with us. Last evening, during Sr. Maura Powers presentation on the scriptures, a young man asked
about the problem of suffering in Job and why did God the Father allow Christ to suffer? The class
and Sr. Maura shared magnificent insights . . . . . . The Holy Spirit led the discussion that God is
always with us.
GOD'S WORK (By Teilhard De Chardin)
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are, quite naturally, impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something new,
and yet it is the law of all progress
that is made by passing through
some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you.
your ideas mature gradually -—
let them grow, let them shape themselves,
without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
as though acting on your own
you will make your own tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
God Bless, Fr. Mike

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
20 de octubre de 2013
Levanto mis ojos a los montes:
¿de dónde me vendrá el auxilio?, el auxilio me viene del Señor,
que hizo el cielo y la tierra.
— Salmo 121 (120):1-2
ORACIÓN PERSISTENTE
Hasta donde sabemos, los autores del Nuevo Testamento no pasaron mucho tiempo juntos
después de la Resurrección. Tomaron muy en serio la orden de ir a las naciones y esparcir la Buena Nueva. Pablo y
Lucas son una excepción pues viajaron juntos en jornadas misioneras. No es accidental, entonces, que la perseverancia
en la oración sea un tema favorito de ambos autores. El Evangelio de san Lucas (que habla más frecuentemente sobre la
oración de Jesús), los Hechos de los Apóstoles y las cartas de san Pablo, todas nos exhortan a rezar incesantemente.
La personalidad de Pablo era ciertamente tenaz; muy posiblemente él habría admirado la persistencia de la
viuda en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy. El propósito de estos pasajes no es hacernos pensar –como hacen los bebés y
los niños pequeñitos– que si persistimos en gritar y llorar, eventualmente conseguiremos lo que queremos. No, el punto
es que cuando los verdaderos discípulos creemos en algo, persistimos y seguimos creyéndolo sea conveniente o
inconveniente, aún cuando nos tropecemos con obstáculos aparentemente insuperables.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Mientras las manos de Moisés estaban en alto, Israel se imponían en la batalla (Éxodo
17:8-13).
Salmo — El auxilio me viene del Señor
(Salmo 121 [120]).
Segunda lectura — Proclamen la palabra; sean persistente cuando sea conveniente o no (2 Timoteo 3:14 — 4:2).
Evangelio — Dios asegura los derechos de los elegidos que claman día y noche (Lucas 18:1-8).

St. Joseph
Catholic School
Dear St. Teresa of Avila Parishioners and Guests,
St. Joseph Catholic School is such a vibrant learning community, that it is difficult to decide what to
highlight. Whether it is costumed preschoolers performing in the hall, sixth graders spending the
week learning at Lake Tahoe, or eighth graders making online religious “Glogs” in the computer lab,
there is excitement all over! Thank you as always for your continued support of our school. Our
partnership is truly making a difference in the lives of children, advancing the mission of our Church,
and transforming the world. For that I am truly inspired and truly grateful.
Please spread the good word about our school! If someone you know is considering a Catholic
education (preschool through eighth grade) please let me know and I will be glad to answer any of
their questions, meet with them, and/or give them a personal tour of the school.
Peace and Blessings,
Christopher J. Nelson
