He finds this poor woman collecting sticks to make her “last supper” on earth. She has Erun out of money, food, and energy. Even so, the prophet asks her to prepare him a cake and, in exchange for her hospitality, he promises she will not run out until God sends rain again. In her faith and humility, she says yes, and gives away all that she had to live on. God blesses her generosity! Jesus observes something similar. A poor widow willingly gives all she has when, without anyone noticing, she drops her coins in the donation basket. God always notices our acts of generosity and multiplies them into eternity. The first part of the Gospel stands in contrast with these two mighty widows. It shows us how not to be apostles. Piece: St. Stephen Distributing Alms, 1447-1449 Jesus chastises the scribes and teachers of the law for Artist: Fra Angelico three defects in their religious practice: pride, greed, Location: Niccoline Chapel, Vatican Palace and showing off. They love public greetings and special seating at church and parties. Jesus goes even further by saying they use their authority to devour widow’s houses. Could Jesus’ irony be any starker? While the widow is giving her last coins, the priest is using it to devour her livelihood. We may never see in this life how God blesses our small or large acts of love, prayer, and generosity. Yet, we should keep doing them, not to be seen or rewarded, but because we love God, and to love is always the right thing. God sees, and a great reward awaits us. —Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection Am I doing what I can do to help the poor and protect them? Is my piety and religiosity also expressed in charity and service?

Encuentra a esta pobre mujer recogiendo palos para hacer su “última cena” en la tierra. Se ha quedado sin dinero, comida y energía. Aun así, el profeta le pide que le prepare un pastel y, a cambio de su hospitalidad, le promete que no se agotará hasta que Dios envíe la lluvia nuevamente. En su fe y humildad, ella dice que sí, y regala todo lo que tenía para vivir. ¡Dios bendice su generosidad! Jesús observa algo similar. Una viuda pobre da voluntariamente todo lo que tiene cuando, sin que nadie se dé cuenta, deja caer sus monedas en la canasta de donaciones. Dios siempre nota nuestros actos de generosidad y los multiplica en la eternidad. La primera parte del Evangelio contrasta con estas dos viudas poderosas. Nos muestra cómo no ser apóstoles. Jesús reprende a los escribas y maestros de la ley por tres defectos en su práctica religiosa: orgullo, codicia y presumir. Aman los saludos públicos y asientos especiales en la iglesia y fiestas. Jesús va aún más lejos al decir que usan su autoridad para devorar las casas de las viudas. ¿Podría la ironía de Jesús ser más dura? Mientras la viuda le da sus últimas monedas, el sacerdote la usa para devorar su sustento. Es posible que nunca veamos en esta vida cómo Dios bendice nuestros pequeños o grandes actos de amor, oración y genero- sidad. Sin embargo, debemos seguir haciéndolos, no para ser vistos o recompensados, sino porque amamos a Dios, y amar siempre es lo correcto. Dios ve, y nos espera una gran recompensa. Calendar Monday NOVEMBER 12 St. Josaphat, Is envy a sin? I find myself becoming very envious Bishop and Martyr Ti 1:1–9 of people who have more than I do. I find it Lk 17:1–6 difficult to be content with what my family and Tuesday I have now. NOVEMBER 13 St. Frances Xavier e live in a climate of want that encourages discontent with what we Cabrini, Virgin have. Advertising plays on our feelings of envy and our desire for Ti 2:1–8, 11–14 W possessions. In this almost universal rush to possess more and better material Lk 17:7–10 objects, Christians are called to a counter witness. We are called to embrace a Wednesday freedom and a poverty of spirit that actually rejoices in the blessings of others. NOVEMBER 14 The Tenth Commandment alerts us to the danger of undisciplined envy: Weekday “You shall not covet…anything Ti 3:1–7 that belongs to your neighbor” Lk 17:11–19 (Exodus 20:17). In the New Thursday Testament, Jesus says that where NOVEMBER 15 our treasure is, there also will be Weekday our heart (Matthew 6:21). The Phlm 7–20 real antidote to envy, then, is Lk 17:20–25 prayers of thanksgiving for all Friday God has given to us and others. NOVEMBER 16 To feel envious, to desire or Weekday SHUTTERSTOCK covet someone else’s possessions, 2 Jn 4–9 is not in itself a mortal sin. But to let that feeling invade your mind, to indulge Lk 17:26–37 it and brood over it, to set your heart on it, is to let that feeling harden into an Saturday envious frame of mind. Then you are flirting with real sin. The grave sin is to NOVEMBER 17 allow these envious thoughts to drive you to any injustice or evil. St. Elizabeth of Hungary, The Catechism of the Catholic Church sums it up well: “Would you like to see Religious God glorified by you? Then rejoice in your brother’s [and sister’s] progress and 3 Jn 5–8 you will immediately give glory to God” (CCC 2540). Lk 18:1–8 —Fr. Paul J. Coury, CSsR Sunday [email protected] NOVEMBER 18 Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time A Word From Pope Francis Dn 12:1–3 Heb 10:11–14, 18 How many people have distanced themselves...from some parish Mk 13:24–32 or community because of the environment of gossip, jealousy, and envy they found there? Even for a Christian, knowing how to love is never a thing acquired once and for all. We must begin anew every day. —Regina Caeli, May 21, 2017 © 2018 Liguori Publications, Liguori, MO 63057-9999.
