Pope Francis: "the prayers of the faithful work miracles"
2016-01-12 Vatican Radio
Pope Francis says prayer works miracles and prevents the hardening of the heart.
His words came on Tuesday morning during morning Mass at the Casa Santa Marta.
“It’s the prayer of the faithful – the Pope said – that brings change to the Church; it’s not us popes, bishops or priests who
carry the Church forward, but the Saints”.
Pope Francis took his cue from the Bible reading of the day which tells the story of Hannah, a woman whom, deeply distressed by her infertility, desperately prays to the Lord to give her a child, and of Eli, a priest, who looks on vaguely from
afar and superficially judges the woman as a drunkard as he can see her babbling but cannot hear her words.
“Hannah was praying silently, her lips moved but her voice was not heard. Hers is the courage of a woman of faith who
is weeping and grieving and asks the Lord for his grace. There are many good women in the Church, many! They place
all their trust in prayer... Let us think of one of them, Saint Monica who was able, with her tears, to be granted the grace
of conversion for her son, Saint Augustine. There are so many” the Pope said.
Eli, the priest, is “a poor man” towards whom, Francis says, he feels “a certain sympathy” because – he explains - “I find
faults in myself that allow me to understand him well and feel close to him.” “How easily - the Pope continues – do we
judge people and lack the respect to say: 'I wonder what he has in his heart? I do not know, but I will say nothing...’
When the heart lacks compassion one always thinks evil" and does not understand those who pray “with pain and anguish” and “entrust that pain and anguish to the Lord”.
“Jesus knows this kind of prayer. When he was in Gethsemane and was so anguished and hurt he sweated blood, He did
not accuse the Father: ‘Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done’”. Jesus
responded in the same way of the woman: with meekness. Sometimes, we pray, we ask things of God, but often we do
not know how to engage with the Lord, to ask for grace” he said.
The Pope also recalled the story of a man in Buenos Aires whose 9-year-old-daughter was dying in hospital. He said he
spent the night at the shrine of the Virgin of Luján clinging to the gate and praying for the grace of healing. The next
morning, when he returned to the hospital, his daughter was healed:
“Prayer works miracles; it works miracles for Christians, whether they be faithful laypeople, priests, bishops who have
lost compassion. The prayers of the faithful change the Church: it’s not us popes, bishops, priests or nuns who carry the
Church forward, but Saints. Saints are those who dare to believe that God is the Lord and that He can do everything”
Pope Francis concluded.

Francisco: la oración cambia a la Iglesia, no los Papas
2016-01-12 Radio Vaticana
La oración hace milagros e impide que el corazón se endurezca, olvidando la piedad. Lo afirmó el Papa Francisco en su
homilía de la Misa de la mañana celebrada en la capilla de la Casa de Santa Marta. “La oración de los fieles – dijo el
Santo Padre – cambia la Iglesia: no somos nosotros, los Papas, los obispos, los sacerdotes” quienes llevamos adelante la
Iglesia, sino “los Santos”, dijo.
Podemos ser personas de fe y haber perdido el sentido de la piedad bajo las cenizas del juicio y de las críticas a ultranza.
La historia que relata la página de la Biblia que el Pontífice comentó en esta ocasión ofrece un gran ejemplo. Los protagonistas son Ana – una mujer angustiada a causa de su esterilidad que suplica llorando a Dios que le dé un hijo – y un
sacerdote, Elí, que la observa distraídamente desde lejos, sentado en un banco del templo.
La “apuesta” de la oración
La escena descrita en el libro de Samuel refiere primero las palabras angustiadas de Ana y después los pensamientos del
sacerdote, que al no lograr oír nada juzga con malévola superficialidad el mudo diálogo de la mujer: para él es sólo “una
borracha”. Y en cambio, como después sucederá, aquel llanto incontenible está a punto de obtener de Dios el milagro
pedido:
“Ana rezaba en su corazón y se movían sólo los labios, si bien la voz no se oía. Este es el coraje de una mujer de fe que
con su dolor, con sus lágrimas, pide al Señor la gracia. Tantas buenas mujeres son así en la Iglesia, ¡tantas!, que van a
rezar como si fuera una apuesta… Pensemos sólo en una grande, Santa Mónica, que con sus lágrimas logró obtener la
gracia de la conversión de su hijo, San Agustín. Tantas cosas son así”.
Luchar de rodillas
Elí, el sacerdote, es “un pobre hombre” hacia el cual – admitió textualmente el Papa Francisco – “tengo cierta simpatía”
porque “también en mí encuentro defectos que me acercan a él y me permiten comprenderlo bien”. “Con cuánta facilidad – dijo también el Papa – nosotros juzgamos a las personas, con cuánta facilidad les faltamos el respeto al decir:
‘¿Pero qué cosa tendrá en su corazón? No lo sé, pero yo no digo nada…’”. Cuando “falta la piedad en el corazón, siempre se piensa mal” y no se comprende a quien, en cambio, reza “con dolor y con angustia” y “encomienda aquel dolor y
angustia al Señor”:
“Esta oración la ha conocido Jesús en el Huerto de los Olivos, cuando era tanta la angustia y tanto el dolor que sudó sangre. Y no reprochó al Padre: ‘Padre, si tú quieres quítame esto, pero que se haga tu voluntad’. Y Jesús ha respondido por
el mismo camino de esta mujer: la docilidad. A veces, nosotros rezamos, pedimos al Señor, pero tantas veces no sabemos llegar precisamente a aquella lucha con el Señor, a las lágrimas, a pedir, a pedir la gracia”.
Los fieles santos, no los Papas
El Papa recordó la historia de un hombre de Buenos Aires quien teniendo a su hija de nueve años internada en fin de
vida, fue a ver a la Virgen de Luján y transcurrió toda la noche aferrado a la verja del Santuario pidiendo la gracia de la
curación. Y a la mañana siguiente, al regresar al hospital, la encontró curada:
“La oración hace milagros. También hace milagros a quienes son cristianos, ya sean fieles laicos, sacerdotes, obispos,
que han perdido la piedad. La oración de los fieles cambia a la Iglesia: no somos nosotros, los Papas, los obispos, los
sacerdotes, las religiosas quienes llevamos adelante la Iglesia. ¡Son los santos! Y los santos son estos, como aquella mujer. Los santos son aquellos que tienen el coraje de creer que Dios es el Señor que puede hacer todo”.

When does RCIA start?
The RCIA begins whenever a person listens to the
promptings of the Holy Spirit to “come and see”. Come
check out the Catholic Church. RCIA is a process
where someone walks a journey to become a disciple
of Christ. Or, if someone is already a practicing Christian, they walk a journey to become a better follower of
Christ.
At St. Theresa, we are available on Wednesday evenings in the Family Life Center, 7 to 9 PM for adults, to
share the Good News of Jesus Christ and how He has
acted in our lives. We are also here to help answer the
questions of our inquirers.
O PEN H OUSE E VENTS
We invite families to come experience St. Theresa during our open house days and time listed below.
Thursday, Jan. 28th: 6:30pm
You do not have to know you want to become a Catholic before you come. We try to create an atmosphere
where the Holy Spirit is given time and space to work
in someone’s life and the person has the freedom to
answer that invitation, or not.
Sunday, Jan. 31st: 11:30am & 1:30p
Thursday, Feb. 4th: 6:30pm
Thursday, March 31st: 6:30pm
Friday, April 8th: 9:30am
