1 Sunday, October 27, 2019 - Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

A Big Thank You to Everyone! On behalf of the OMOS Parish Community, I’d like to express my heartfelt THANKS to the Parish Fiesta

Committee and everyone who sacrificed, helped and contributed to the overwhelming success of our Annual

Parish Fiesta. I am also grateful for the support and participation of our parish members and all visitors who came

and enjoyed the beautiful and fun-filled evenings we had. The food was to die for! Thank you to all who

dedicated themselves to satisfy our cravings. The entertainment for all three nights were perfect for all of us

sitting down and enjoying our camaraderie. Exciting games and Bingo had everybody kicking and shouting. The

white elephant event was a unique place for me to watch and observe. Overall, it was a sight to behold seeing

everyone smiling, talking, laughing and eating as a family and even more so as a community. I saw humanity at

its best unfolding. And we are not being reported on the main stream media that there is so much love and

acceptance among each other - that life is beautiful and families are still vibrant and dynamic. This is the very

objective of the Parish Fiesta - to create an atmosphere of friendship and love, to make our parish community

more of a family. I enjoyed watching as you were hopping from one table to another, shaking hands and

embracing one another. Being a first timer, I really salute the parishioners of OMOS for having this annual

tradition. Yes, this entails a lot of work, commitment and dedication but don’t you know that anything of value

demands a lot of sacrifice?! Our parish deserves all the sacrifice that we can give. Let’s continue doing this.

Once again thank you to everyone and KUDOS to the organizing committee. This event would not be possible

without YOU!

Sirach 35:12–14, 16–18; 2 Timothy 4:6–8, 16–18;

Luke 18:9–14

“O God, be merciful to me a sinner.”

The tax collector didn’t feel worthy to be there in

the Temple, praying to the Lord. The Pharisee, who

had done everything that was expected of him, looked

down on everyone who he felt was beneath him. We

can forget that humility is as important as

righteousness.

Doing the right thing is important. But doing it in

the right spirit for the right reasons is too. The

Pharisee needed to recognize his sin of pride. It’s easy

to get caught up in the praise. It’s not wrong to be

proud of doing a good job. Crossing the line comes

when you start looking down on other people. Rather

start looking inward and examining yourself.

“We are all sinners loved by God.” That is our

pastoral theme at Our Mother of Sorrows. God knows

who we are at heart. He knows us inside out. Better

than we know ourselves.

God hears all our prayers. Spoken or not. As

Sirach says, “the prayer of the lowly pierces the

clouds; it does not rest till it reaches its goal.” And He

answers them. Maybe not what we want, but He does.

Yes, no or I’ve got something better in mind.

Even St. Paul knew that as he was in prison, “the

Lord will rescue me from every evil threat…” He will

us too.

We are worthy to keep praying for mercy. The tax

collector’s prayer is a prayer for us today. “O God, be

merciful to me a sinner.” Amen.

LA RELACIÓN CON DIOS

Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a la oración, hacia

una relación con Dios. Pues las relaciones se sienten

más naturales cuando conocemos mejor uno con el

otro. El libro del Eclesiástico nos anima a conocer

mejor a Dios. En su sabiduría, este libro nos dice

cómo es Dios, justo, de mente abierta, compasivo y

atento. “El Señor no tarda” dice. Sabiendo que la

ayuda de Dios llega en el debido momento, donde sea

que la necesitemos, calma nuestros corazones y nos

ayuda a confiar en el Señor. En la segunda carta a

Timoteo, san Pablo demuestra su propia confianza en

Dios. A pesar de las luchas agotadoras que san Pablo

ha enfrentado a causa de su fe cristiana, él alaba al

Señor por haberlo rescatarlo una y otra vez. El

Evangelio de hoy nos acerca también a Jesús,

revelando su especial amor por los pobres y humildes.

Cuando Jesús cuenta la parábola acerca de las formas

como los fariseos y recolectores de impuestos rezan,

nuestros corazones se convierten tan gentiles como los

de Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
