27th Sunday in Ordinary Time If it delays, wait for it. (Habakkuk 2:3)
N obody likes to wait. Whether we are waiting for a traffic light to turn green or awaiting the birth
of a child, time seems to drag. Even if we tell ourselves that our wait will soon be over, we still feel eager for everything to hurry up.
This must be how the prophet Habakkuk felt as he looked out at his beloved city, Jerusalem. The Babylonian army had defeated Egypt, and the people knew they were next on the list. Added to the threat of war was the moral and religious state of the city. Weak kings continued to make and break alliances with pagan nations, worship of false gods was on the rise, and the rich and powerful continued to exploit the poor and weak. “How long, O Lord?” Habakkuk pleaded. He felt surrounded by “destruction and violence . . . ; strife, and clamorous discord” (1:2, 3). And God seemed to be nowhere in sight.
You know how that feels, don’t you? A child has turned away from the Church, and you long to see her find her way home. A friend is not returning your calls, and you wonder what you did wrong. Violence against the weak, the unborn, and the foreigner is increasing, and you don’t know if God will ever put an end to it. Sometimes it just hurts to have to wait for a resolution.
If this describes you, then know that God has a word for you—the same word he gave to Habakkuk: “The vision still has its time” (2:3). God’s vision, his plan, is still unfolding. He is not standing by helplessly, watching you struggle. Try your best to hold on; put your faith in his love and his mercy. Even if it seems to be taking forever, don’t give up. God still loves you. He will always love you.
God promised Habakkuk that those who hold onto their faith in him “shall live” (Habakkuk 2:4). That includes you.

Why should we care for the environment?
This is the question that Salt and Light Television Network attempts to answer with the brilliant documentary series Creation. Production for this series began in 2011 during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI and is crowned with the masterful encyclical, Laudato Si of Pope Francis—a Papal teaching that would bring together the major themes presented in the Creation series.
Many around the world have grappled with the urgent questions of the environment and ecology by focusing on political and ideological solutions that may be noble and good, but are often lacking in deeper meaning and purpose. Creation seeks to answer the deeper questions about ecology and the environment within God’s revelation as found in his creation and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Each 30 minute episode will be presented in the parish hall on 6 Friday evenings throughout the year beginning at 7pm with discussion to follow. The episodes and corresponding dates are as follows: October 18 - Sense of Wonder; November 22 - The Human Person; January 31 - Respect; February 28 - Groaning; March 27 - Grammar of Creation; May 15 - Integral Ecology. You can find more information about Creation at www.saltandlight.org.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend any or all of the dates by calling 508-798-0612 or emailing [email protected]. We hope you will be able to join us for this important series!
