“This poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” (MK 12:38-44)

From the Pastor

My Dear Parishioners,
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus contrasts the scribes with the poor widow. The
scribes were very proud and selfish with everything because they did not trust God.
The poor widow was humble because she trusted God and believed that God would
provide. Due to our fallen human nature, our pride can influence us to not trust and to
be selfish.
Unfortunately, this attitude is the result of some bad experiences. Sometimes
we become hurt and angry when no one appreciates the good we do to help
others. Sometimes we have been hurt by criticism or when our motives have been
misinterpreted. With God we can begin to heal from these hurts. First, let us ask God
to purify our hearts so that we turn from within to turning toward God, trusting that He
will help us. It takes patience and time as well as faith and trust in God. Little by little,
let us seek to do God’s will, to please Him, and not do things only to please others.
God wants to give us His grace to give us the confidence that the widow had, not the
puffed up pride of the scribes. Here is a prayer, attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola
and which is part of Ignatian spirituality, that we might pray to assist us in growth of
humility, trust, and faith in God.
Prayer for Generosity
Lord, teach me to be generous,
to serve you as you deserve,
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to look for any reward,
save that of knowing that I do your holy will.
Let us continue to give thanks to God from Whom all blessings flow.
In Christ,Fr. Guadagnoli

Del PastorQueridos Feligreses,
En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús contrasta a los escribas con la viuda pobre. Los escribas eran muy orgullosos y egoístas con todo porque no confiaban en Dios. La pobre viuda era humilde porque ella confiaba en Dios y creía que Dios proveería. Debido a nuestra naturaleza humana decaída, nuestro orgullo puede influirnos a no confiar y ser egoístas.
Desafortunadamente, esta actitud es el resultado de algunas malas experiencias. A veces nos sentimos heridos y enojados cuando nadie aprecia el bien que hacemos para ayudar a los demás. A veces nos lastiman las críticas o cuando nuestros motivos se han malinterpretado. Con Dios podemos empezar a sanar de estas heridas. Primero, pidámosle a Dios que purifique nuestros corazones para que nos volvamos de adentro a volvernos hacia Dios, confiando en que Él nos ayudará. Se necesita paciencia y tiempo, así como fe y confianza en Dios. Poco a poco, busquemos hacer la voluntad de Dios, complacerlo y no hacer cosas solo para complacer a otros. Dios quiere darnos su gracia para darnos la confianza que tenía la viuda, no el orgullo de los escribas. Aquí hay una oración, atribuida a San Ignacio de Loyola y que forma parte de la espiritualidad ignaciana, para que podamos orar y ayudarnos a crecer en humildad, confianza y fe en Dios.
Oración por la generosidadSeñor, enséñame a ser generoso,para servirte como te mereces,Dar y no contar el costo.luchar y no atender las heridas,trabajar y no buscar descanso,trabajar y no buscar ninguna recompensa,Salvo eso de saber que hago tu santa voluntad.
Continuemos dando gracias a Dios de quien fluyen todas las bendiciones.
En la paz de Cristo,P. Guadagnoli
