2 Today s Gospel Reflection INCREASE OUR FAITH Today s Gospel passage falls under the category that has come to be known as the hard sayings of Jesus. Hard to understand, hard to apply to life today. The Apostles request, increase our faith, is in response to a previous hard saying about how frequently we are called upon to forgive others. Curiously, Jesus seems rather unforgiving in responding to their request, or in describing the manner in which they are to serve others. Jesus uses exaggerations to wake us up to how God is present in our lives, and how we are urged to live if God is with us. None of us is called upon to uproot trees or cast mountains into the sea. The faith we have is adequate for the task we are called upon to do: spread the gospel by our witness. And living that witness is done not for self-gratification or recognition, but out of the joy of helping the world to hear the Good News. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us. Psalm 95:6 AUMENTA NUESTRA FE El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy pertenece a la categoría llamada lecciones difíciles de Jesús. Difíciles de entender, difíciles de aplicar hoy día. La petición de los apóstoles, aumenta nuestra fe es en respuesta a la previa lección difícil sobre cuántas veces somos llamados a perdonar a los demás. Curiosamente, Jesús no parece muy dispuesto a perdonar al responder a su petición, o al describir la manera en que han de servir a los demás. Jesús usa exageraciones para demostrarnos cómo está Dios presente en nuestra vida, y cómo somos llamados a vivir si Dios está con nosotros. Ninguno de nosotros está llamado a desarraigar árboles o a lanzar montañas al mar. La fe que tenemos es adecuada para la tarea a que hemos sido llamados: esparcir el evangelio con nuestro ejemplo. Y vivir ese testimonio no buscando autosatisfacción o reconocimiento, sino por el gozo de ayudar al mundo a oír la Buena Nueva. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

3 ST. MICHAEL CHURCH Dear Parishioners and friends, YEAR OF FAITH Pastor s Message PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO Confessing with the lips (Romans 10:9) implies that personal faith must express itself in public witness. A Christian may never think of belief as a private act. Faith is choosing to stand with the Lord, and this demands that we accept the social responsibilities that flow from what we believe (see Benedict XVI, Door of Faith, 10). October opens with Respect Life Sunday, and, in this Year of Faith, Jesus disciples pray in our name: Increase our faith. How comforting is Jesus response. Faith cannot be measured by quantity but by quality faith s willingness to trust, risk, dare and when we see a need, to act on it. Jesus saw ten lepers and healed them; the Samaritan saw that he was healed and gave thanks, faith transforming his healing into salvation. If God sometimes seems slow to act, like the judge in Jesus story, could God be inviting us, who experience Jesus self-sacrificing love in the Eucharist, to make God s work of love and justice our own? October s final Sunday prepares us for the Year of Faith s final month with Jesus parable of the Pharisee and tax-collector. Though everyone presumed the Pharisee to be faith personified, he was not praying to God at all, just talking to himself. He replaced the praise of God with a litany of self-congratulation, and intercession with judging his neighbor. As the Year of Faith draws to a close, Jesus asks each of us, which of these two are you? Mission: Translate my personal faith into public witness; seek opportunities to act on my faith; refrain from judging others, praying instead, O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

"The mystery of the Eucharist has found historical expression not only in the demand for an interior disposition of devotion, but also in outward forms meant to evoke and emphasize the grandeur of the event being celebrated." [Ecclesia de Eucharistia, no. 49] Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
