RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Today’s readings invite us into prayer, into rela-tionship with God. Because relationships feel more natural when we know one another well, Sirach encourages us to know God better. In his wisdom, Sirach tells us what God is like: fair, open-minded, compassionate, and attentive. The Lord will not delay, he says. Knowing that God’s help comes right on time, whenever we need it, calms our hearts and helps us trust the Lord. In his second Letter to Timothy, Saint Paul demon-strates his own trust in God. Despite the grueling struggles Saint Paul has faced because of his Christian faith, he praises the Lord for rescuing him time and again. Today’s Gospel draws us close to Jesus too, revealing his special love for the poor and humble. As Jesus tells his parable about the prayer habits of a Pharisee and a tax collector, our hearts long to become as gentle as Christ’s. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

LA RELACIÓN CON DIOS Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a la oración, hacia una rela-ción 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. Sabien-do 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 res-catarlo 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 (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
