Page 2 Saint John the Evangelist — From Father Jim October 20, 2019 The Gospel is from St. Luke 18:1-8. There are many devout Christians who are deeply puzzled by what they think is God's indifference to their fervent pleas for spiritual favors, which to them appear essential in their journey heavenwards. These people would readily admit that God has good rea-sons for not granting temporal favors—they might not be for their eternal good. Why refuse or delay granting their spiritual needs? The man or woman who has dedicated his or her life exclusively to the service of God still suffers from human weaknesses. He or she is attracted to worldly things, is finding humility and obedience very difficult, suffers from dryness in prayer or worse still is scrupu-lous to a degree that makes the religious life almost unbearable. Such people could work so much better for God and for their neighbor if only God would remove these weaknesses which, in fact, he could so easily do. Or again, why should whole nations of devout Christians suffer persecution from atheistic tyrants? See their children brought up deprived of the right to practice their faith, or, worse still, taught to despise it? Surely God should answer the prayers of these good people and the fervent prayers of millions of their fellow-Christians on their behalf … These and many similar questionings arise in our minds because our limited, human intellects can see but one small section of the immense tapestry which God is weaving for the human race. We would all like immediate results in our own tiny corner of that tapestry while the all-wise God is oc-cupied with the whole picture. He is not forgetting us either. If He delays in answering our urgent appeals, we can be certain that the reason is not that He wants to punish us, but rather to help us. There are many saints in heaven who would perhaps never have become saints if God had not al-lowed them to struggle on longer than they would have wished, against trials and difficulties—spiritual as well as physical. Our divine Lord teaches us, in this parable, the need for perseverance in prayer. This perseverance develops our trust and confidence in God. It helps us to become humble and to realize how weak we are when left to ourselves. It keeps us close to God, as we learn how dependent we are on His generosity. If we only would realize that God is perhaps never closer to us than when we think He is forgetting us! The trials of life, spiritual or temporal, which He allows us to suffer are not obstacles to our spiritual progress but rather stepping-stones without which we could not cross the rivers of life at all. God wants every one of us in heaven but just as no two men on earth have the same identical fea-tures, so also no two men on earth have the same road to lead them to heaven. God is supervising the journey of each one of us. He is ever there to help if the obstacle on one's road is insurmount-able. We may and we must, keep asking God for the spiritual and temporal favors which we feel we need. We must never grow despondent or feel that God has lost interest in us, if He delays in grant-ing these favors. When we shall look back on our earthly journey from the happy vantage point of heaven, we shall see how effectively and how lovingly God regulated our journey. When He did not grant a certain favor it was because He had a much more important one to give us, one we did not ask for or even realize we needed. "Ask and you shall receive," not perhaps what you wanted, but what God knew you needed. "Seek and you shall find," not the easy way which you thought you deserved, but the harder way which would make you more deserving of heaven. "Knock and it shall be opened unto you," not the door you were standing at, which would have delayed or endangered your progress, but the door further down the street where refreshment and new courage to continue on your upward climb were await-ing you. — Excerpted from The Sunday Readings Cycle C, Fr. Kevin O' Sullivan, O.F.M.

DEL PASTOR El Evangelio es de San Lucas 18: 1-8. Hay muchos cristianos devotos que están profundamente desconcerta-dos por lo que piensan que es la indiferencia de Dios a sus fervientes súplicas por favores espirituales, que les parecen esenciales en su viaje hacia el cielo. Estas personas admitirían fácilmente que Dios tiene buenas razo-nes para no otorgar favores temporales; es posible que no sean para su bien eterno. ¿Por qué rechazar o retras-ar la concesión de sus necesidades espirituales? El hombre o la mujer que ha dedicado su vida exclusivamente al servicio de Dios todavía sufre de debilidades humanas. Le atraen las cosas mundanas, le resulta muy difícil la humildad y la obediencia, sufre de sequedad en la oración o, lo que es peor, es escrupuloso hasta un punto que hace que la vida religiosa sea casi insoportable. Dichas personas podrían trabajar mucho mejor para Dios y para su prójimo si solo Dios eliminara estas debilidades que, de hecho, Él podría hacer tan fácilmente. O, de nuevo, ¿por qué naciones enteras de cristianos devotos sufren la persecución de los tiranos ateos? ¿Ver a sus hijos criados privados del derecho a practicar su fe o, peor aún, enseñados a despreciarla? Seguramente Dios debería responder a las oraciones de estas buenas personas y las fervientes oraciones de millones de sus hermanos cristianos en su nombre … Estas y muchas preguntas similares surgen en nuestras mentes porque nuestros intelectos humanos limitados pueden ver solo una pequeña sección del inmenso tapiz que Dios está tejiendo para la raza humana. A todos nos gustaría obtener resultados inmediatos en nuestro pequeño rincón de ese tapiz, mientras que el Dios omni-potente nesciente está ocupado con todo el panorama. Él tampoco nos olvida. Si se demora en responder a nuestros llamamientos urgentes, podemos estar seguros de que la razón no es que quiera castigarnos, sino ayu-darnos. Hay muchos santos en el cielo que quizás nunca se habrían convertido en santos si Dios no les hubiera permitido luchar por más tiempo del que hubieran deseado, contra pruebas y dificultades, tanto espirituales como físicas. Nuestro divino Señor nos enseña, en esta parábola, la necesidad de perseverar en la oración. Esta perseveran-cia desarrolla nuestra confianza en Dios. Nos ayuda a ser humildes y a darnos cuenta de cuán débiles somos cuando nos quedamos solos. Nos mantenemos cerca de Dios, a medida que aprendemos cuán dependientes somos de su generosidad. ¡Si nos damos cuenta de que Dios tal vez nunca esté más cerca de nosotros que cuando pensamos que nos está olvidando! Las pruebas de la vida, espirituales o temporales, que nos permite sufrir no son obstáculos para nuestro progreso espiritual, sino más bien peldaños sin los cuales no podríamos cruzar los ríos de la vida. Dios nos quiere a todos en el cielo, pero así como no hay dos hombres en la tierra que tengan las mismas ca-racterísticas idénticas, tampoco hay dos hombres en la tierra que tengan el mismo camino para llevarlos al cie-lo. Dios está supervisando el viaje de cada uno de nosotros. Él siempre está allí para ayudar si el obstáculo en el camino es insuperable. Podemos y debemos seguir pidiéndole a Dios los favores espirituales y temporales que sentimos que necesitamos. Nunca debemos desanimarnos o sentir que Dios ha perdido interés en nosotros, si se demora en otorgar estos favores. Cuando miremos hacia atrás en nuestro viaje terrenal desde el feliz pun-to de vista del cielo, veremos cuán efectivamente y cuán amorosamente Dios reguló nuestro viaje. Cuando no concedió un cierto favor, fue porque tenía uno mucho más importante para darnos, uno que no pedimos ni nos dimos cuenta de que necesitábamos. "Pide y recibirás", tal vez no lo que querías, sino lo que Dios sabía que necesitabas. "Busca y encontrarás", no el camino fácil que creías que merecías, sino el camino más difícil que te haría merecedor del cielo. "Toca y se te abrirá", no la puerta en la que estabas parado, lo que habría retrasado o puesto en peligro tu progreso, sino la puerta más abajo de la calle donde te esperaban un refrigerio y un nuevo coraje para continuar en tu ascenso. - Extraído de The Sunday Readings Cycle C, Fr. Kevin O'Sullivan, O.F.M.
