DEPENDING ON GOD
“Getting by with a little help from our friends” is not
an idea that began with the Beatles. Certainly the idea of
“getting by with a little help from God” goes back at least
to the first reading today from Exodus. How we get that
help, however, is the key to this weekend’s scriptures.
No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task God
had given him, he persevered—even though he needed
help from the people around him. The Israelites especially
depended on God for freedom. The woman in the Gospel,
desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on, but still
she would not give up. She could not afford to bribe the
unscrupulous judge, but
she pestered him into weariness until finally he met
her demands.
We sometimes need to
turn to others to help us
through difficult times; but
if we always turn to God,
we won’t be disappointed,
for our help, the psalm assures us, is from the Lord.
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
DEPENDIENDO DE DIOS
“Llegar con la ayudita de nuestros amigos” no es una
idea que comenzara con los Beatles. Ciertamente la idea
de “Llegar con la ayudita de Dios” se remonta por lo menos a la época de la primera lectura de hoy, tomada del
Éxodo. Cómo obtenemos esa ayuda, sin embargo, es la
clave de las lecturas de este fin de semana.
Sin importar lo incapaz que se sentía para las tareas
que Dios le había encomendado, Moisés perseveró –
aunque con ayuda de las personas que lo rodeaban. Los
israelitas dependieron especialmente de Dios para su libertad. La mujer del Evangelio, desesperada y desvalida,
no tenía de quién depender, pero aun así no
se rindió. No tenía con qué sobornar al
inescrupuloso juez, pero lo molestó hasta
el cansancio, por lo que finalmente éste
cedió a sus demandas.
A veces necesitamos acudir a otros
para que nos ayuden en momentos difíciles; pero si siempre acudimos a Dios, no
quedaremos defraudados; el Salmo asegura
que nuestra ayuda proviene del Señor.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muy popular entre los latinos es la monjita francesa
santa Teresita, con sus rosas y crucifijo en mano. No cabe
duda que ella fue una gran mujer, pero no podemos olvidar otra monja carmelita, la Teresota, o sea santa Teresa
de Jesús (de Ávila).
En 1970, esta hispana fue la primera mujer nombrada
Doctora de la Iglesia gracias a sus profundos escritos. Teresa vivió en el siglo XVI, una época de mucha reforma.
Después de haber pasado varios años como religiosa, se
dio cuenta que su vida personal necesitaba conversión.
Así fue que se puso a orar y practicar el recogimiento del
alma. Ella confiesa que pasarían casi 15 años antes de que
estas prácticas dieran fruto. Ella no se dejó vencer durante
esos quince años y siguió insistiendo en la oración hasta
que Dios le concedió visiones y visitas celestiales. Su
mística llena de gozos celestiales nunca la separó de la
tierra. Ella no se escondía en la oración, mas bien salía de
la oración para luchar en el mundo. Ella inspiró la reforma carmelitana y sigue inspirándonos hoy con sus escritos.

Opportunities To Show Support For Life
A request has come from our Regional Bishop, Most Reverend Joseph Brennan, for participation in
40 DAYS FOR LIFE. Beginning on September 28th and lasting until November 6th, they are looking for volunteers to
give of their presence and time to pray for an hour or so outside of the Family Planning Associates in Mission Hills.
The coordinator of this event is Patti Flores. You can contact her at: (818) 307-4332 or at PFlores4Life@aol.com.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
From the early medieval period, it was expected that the many bishops of Italy travel to Rome at least once every three
years to give a report of their ministry, with a footnote granting the bishops of Sicily a visit every five years. By the eleventh century, the idea of bishops visiting the tombs of the apostles was a very strict requirement for all within reasonable reach of Rome. The age of discovery and the expansion of the Church into remote corners of the earth made this an unreasonable burden in
many cases, yet every bishop was required at least to send a representative to Rome every
five years.
In 1911, Pope St. Pius X established the rule for a “quinquennial” (meaning “once in
five years”) report, called an ad limina. This literally means “to the threshhold,” and refers
to the expectation that the visiting bishop will go to the thresholds of the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul and to a personal audience with the Holy Father. An exemption was
given to so-called “mission territories,” which in 1911 included the United States. The reports were still required, but could be filed by letter with an office of the missions called
“Propagation of the Faith.” This status was changed in 1917 and since that time all American bishops have been subject to the ad limina. These reports, carefully kept in the Vatican
archives, are a treasure trove for historians, providing snapshots of culture and faith and a
record of the Church’s resilience even in times of persecution and change.
