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.

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.

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.

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.

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
