They took their charge to go to the nations and spread the Good News seriously. Paul and Luke are an exception to this, having travelled together on missionary journeys. It is no accident, then, that perseverance in prayer is a favorite theme of both authors. Luke’s Gospel (which speaks most frequently about Jesus’ own prayer), Acts, and the Pauline Letters all exhort us to unceasing prayer. Paul’s personality was certainly tenacious; he most likely would have admired the persistent widow in today’s Gospel passage. The purpose of these passages is not to make us think—as infants and toddlers do—that if we keep asking or yelling or crying we will eventually get our way. No, the point is that when true disciples believe in something, we will persist in following that belief whether it is convenient or not, even when we come up against seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Americans are riders and joggers, not strollers, and so the pleasures of the season are often lost on us. This is not the case with many Jewish people, who observe an ancient rule in walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. On city streets and suburban sidewalks in many cities, we may notice around sunset the nicely dressed families walking and chatting on Friday afternoon. After a short prayer at dusk, the families stroll home again for a relaxing and festive meal. They return to synagogue in the morning, and then spend an afternoon in family leisure until three stars appear in the night sky and Sabbath ends. Catholics, on the other hand, pile into the car and drive even a short distance to Mass; some even divide the family to participate at different hours. For Jews, the leisurely walk marks a dividing line between hectic life commitments and a day of abundant joy and enrichment. Before we became an automobile culture, Catholics embraced a similar pace, and in most places walked to church. These lovely days of fall invite us to tap into an old and life-giving tradition. If you live within a mile of your church, walk next week. If you must drive, park at a good distance and walk the rest of the way. Talk about your life, greet strangers, notice the crunch of leaves under your shoes. You may be surprised at how different Sunday Mass feels when it is framed by leisure! —James Field, Copyright © J.

No es accidental, entonces, que la perseverancia en la oración sea un tema favorito de ambos autores. El Evangelio de san Lucas (que habla más frecuentemente sobre la oración de Jesús), los Hechos de los Apóstoles y las cartas de san Pablo, todas nos exhortan a rezar incesantemente. La personalidad de Pablo era ciertamente tenaz; muy posiblemente él habría admirado la persistencia de la viuda en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy. El propósito de estos pasajes no es hacernos pensar –como hacen los bebés y los niños pequeñitos– que si persistimos en gritar y llorar, eventualmente conseguiremos lo que queremos. No, el punto es que cuando los verdaderos discípulos creemos en algo, persistimos y seguimos creyéndolo sea conveniente o inconveniente, aún cuando nos tropecemos con obstáculos aparentemente insuperables.

I-HELP – HAS A NEW HOME! For 25 years, the homeless men in Salinas have been served dinner and stayed overnight in a different Church every day of the week. We here at Sacred Heart have been fortunate enough to offer them our hospitality twice a month. The I-Help Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank Sacred Heart and to let the parish know that these men will now have a fixed emergency shelter in which to stay (3050 Lexington Ct., Marina CA). But … imagine what it would be like if you were moving into a place of your own with nothing more than a backpack and the clothes on your back. Life has not given them an easy road, but just one caring adult, one simple act can make a difference in the life of our homeless. Remember … HOMELESS doesn’t mean heartless AND jobless does not mean hopeless. Here is a “wish list” of things they could use in their new home. For more information please call: 831-384-3388 or visit the Shelter Outreach Plus website at www.sopinc.org.

All music will be provided. If you were part of the choir last year, please bring your music with you. For info, please contact Jimmy Mazzuca at 757-5034.
