St. Michael & St. Francis Bulletin October 18th & 19th, 2014 Pastor: Fr. Harry Tully Twenty- ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

POWER STRUGGLES Do you resist paying taxes or obeying authorities? Do you always disagree with a particular person at work or in your household? Do you need people to do as you say? Are you afraid of making decisions? Of saying “no”? If so, you are engaged in struggles over your own and others’ power in your life. This week’s scriptures provide a way of resolving many of those struggles without taking sides. The readings leave little doubt as to who holds the real power in the world. It is “the LORD, and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:6) who anoints Cyrus and grasps him by the right hand (the hand of power), making him victorious and giving the Israelites their freedom. The psalm tells us to give glory and honor to the Lord, who is “beyond all gods” and “governs the peoples with equity” (Psalm 96:4, 10). Paul gives thanks to God, whose power is at work in the gospel Paul preached and in the Thessalonians themselves. Finally, in Jesus’ power struggle with the Pharisees, he says, “Repay . . . to God what belongs to God” (Matthew 22:21). God is the power above all human powers—in government, business, the Church, and our own families. We owe God all “glory and honor” (Psalm 96:7), thanks, loyalty, and our lives.

POWER WITHIN We are to give praise and pay tribute to God as the one and only source of true power in our lives. When we do, our ordinary power struggles can more easily be resolved. Like the Thessalonians, we discover the power within ourselves. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live in faith, hope, and love. We no longer feel we must dominate others. We are compelled neither to resist those who have power over us nor always to give in to them. We stop fearing our own power. God’s power within us and over all human powers gives us confidence, courage, and humility in every power struggle we may encounter. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 45:1, 4–6; Psalm 96:1, 3–5, 7–10; 1 Thessalonians 1:1–5b; Matthew 22:15–21 St. Michael Fr.
