REFLECTION

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Cycle C

In Puno, Peru, Marisol, a mother of two young boys, provided refuge in her humble home to another mother with three children who had nowhere to go. The woman's husband repeatedly lands in jail, and abuses her when he’s “free.” Marisol and her husband reflected the unconditional compassion and mercy for this vulnerable and broken woman and her children that our God of Love has for us. Today's readings speak of God’s mercy, but if we enter more profoundly into their wisdom, they invite us to be challenged and transformed. Challenged and transformed is what God is asking us today in this Renew My Church process, and for the right decision, we need to engage in What St. Benedict and the psalmists, prayer, prayer and more prayer. So that the right Mother Ann Lee and St. Ignatius all knew is decisions for the future of St. Hilary will be made by that our work is nothing if it does not give the Cardinal in the coming months. glory to God. We need God’s help in all we St. Benedict, in his Rule for monks, says that do. We need God’s assistance in our work, every good work should begin with a prayer. The doing small things or making big decisions. psalmist asks God to “give success to the work of our Acknowledging our need for divine hands.” Mother Ann Lee, the founder of the Shaker help reminds us who is in charge, for us to do Communities in the U. S. often said, “Put your hands our best, and leave the rest up to God. to work and your hearts to God.” Deacon & Mrs. Ramirez
