Help For NO COMPARISONS How many times have we read or heard about someone who’s gotten into trouble—maybe even fired from a job—because of a brush with the law? While our “Christian” minds tell us to be sorry and even pray for the person, a little voice inside our heads may also be saying, “I’m glad I would never do anything like that.” And perhaps we wouldn’t. But are there some things we do that are still not pleasing in God’s eyes? Today’s readings caution us not to look so intently at someone else’s wrongdoing that we overlook our own weaknesses and shortcomings. When we measure ourselves against the worst people we can think of, we come out looking pretty good. There is a danger, however, in using someone else’s behavior as a way of reflecting our own goodness. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINT ELIZABETH — October 23, 2016 — www.stelizabethlubbock.com SAINT ELIZABETH — October 23, 2016 — www.stelizabethlubbock.com Jubilee Year of Mercy October 23, 2016 Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s Gospel graces us with a beautiful prayer that can make every day of our lives a jubilee of mercy: “O God, be merciful to me a sinner” (Luke 18:13). Religious Israelites despised the tax collector who prayed it, for collaborating with Gentile occupiers and handling currency that bore the “divine” emperor’s graven image. But the Pharisee’s long-winded self-congratulation, mixed with self-righteous condemnation, was no “prayer” at all. “The Pharisee . . . spoke this prayer to himself” (18:11, emphasis added). Praying the tax collector’s simple, sincere, succinct cry for mercy acknowledges our own sinfulness, and “welcomes” other sinners as brothers and sisters with whom we can identify, even empathize, echoing Pope Francis’ famous comment about not being the one to judge. Indeed, the tax collector “went home justified” (18:14), that is, restored to God’s friendship, for God’s mercy is not prize achieved but gift received. “Let your prayer be brief: for tax collector, prodigal son, and dying thief were all reconciled to God by a single phrase!” (Saint John Climacus, 7th century). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Is God calling you to be a Dominican Friar (priest or brother)? Talk to any of the friars in the Church or send an email to [email protected].

"Celebrating the Year of Mercy" Retreat Thursday Oct 27 Sunday Oct 30, 2016 Get away this fall and find out all about God's Mercy and the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Take a few days off and come on retreat. Take a vacation from the stress and worry of life, and get in touch with the Mercy of God and the special graces he offers us this year. Registration & Details www.MercyRC.com TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Imagine the frustration of bishops who work strenuously over their ad limina reports, directing study committees, assembling data, honing the texts, traveling to Rome “to the threshold,” only to have it all collapse into a fifteen-minute group meeting with the pope. More than a few have grumbled at the weight of this “treasure” from our tradition, yet from the pope’s vantage point, they are essential to his ministry. Pope John Paul II recalled his own experience as the Bishop of Kraków, visiting with Pope Paul VI in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The memory of those individual visits caused him to strengthen the format, assuring each of the world’s 2,744 bishops a privileged fifteen private minutes with the pope every five years. If you wonder what the pope does all day, the thought of dealing with five hundred bishops a year and reading their detailed reports on diocesan life should help fill up the calendar. Pope John Paul II used to say that he approached each individual meeting with the personal goal of learning something new about the Church, and his lively interest made the visits immensely worthwhile. The content of the private meetings remains under a privilege of secrecy, or as Cardinal Theodore McCarrick once said, “You’re only supposed to quote the pope if he tells a joke.” —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. My great concern is not whether God is on our side; my great concern is to be on God’s side. —Abraham Lincoln SAINT ELIZABETH — October 23, 2016 — www.stelizabethlubbock.com If you are Cursillistas, please contact Ray Guzman at 806-441 -2864 Mass on the Texas Tech Campus Wednesday at 12:10 P.M.

SECOND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND MISSION SUNDAY SECOND COLLECTION THIS WEEKND Family Promise support volunteers needed! Family Promise of Lubbock's mission is to provide the tools necessary to achieve longterm financial stability to homeless families with children. Their vision is to help families become stable and break the cycle of poverty so that their children's children will not experience homelessness. St. Elizabeth serves as a support church with St. John United Methodist Church. During our rotation with St. John, we are responsible for providing a meal, evening hosts, and overnight hosts on Wednesday of the scheduled week. Our rotation day comes about every 2 to 2 ½ months. We could use some help supplying food for the meal and also for hosting the families during and after dinner. If you’d like to be added to our volunteer list for Family Promise, or would like additional info, please contact Beth Pressley [email protected] or 806-789-9002.
