Certainly the idea of getting by with a little help from God goes back at least to the first reading today from Exodus. How we get that help, however, is the key to this weekend s scriptures. No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task God had given him, he persevered even though he needed help from the people around him. The Israelites especially depended on God for freedom. The woman in the Gospel, desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on, but still she would not give up. She could not afford to bribe the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into weariness until finally he met her demands. We sometimes need to turn to others to help us through difficult times; but if we always turn to God, we won t be disappointed, for our help, the psalm assures us, is from the Lord.

5 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 Next weekend, October 22 & 23, we will have Father Libby Baluarte, from the Diocese of Sorsogon, Philippines, present information about a mission appeal for his Diocese. The proceeds from this appeal will be used for the following projects: For the education of their 160 seminarians (90 in High School, 53 in College, 17 in Theology). Most parents of these seminarians are poor and cannot support them financially for priestly education, which has become more expensive through the years. The Province of Sorsogon is one of the poorest in the region of Bicol, which is often hit by natural calamities such as typhoons and volcanic eruptions. The entire country suffered so many catastrophes by a monster super typhoon in November For the implementation of the Sixth Phase of the Diocesan Ecclesial and Evangelization Program (DEEP), which started in 2014 through the next five years, is one of our greatest needs. We need a sizable budget amount for the systematic formation of the leaders of various commissions, namely, commissions on Family and Human Life; the Laity; the Youth; Mission; Media for Evangelization; Worship; Education; Service; and Temporalities. These none pastoral commissions are tasked to the DEEP 6 in the Vicarial level, the parochial level, the chapel level down to the smallest unit of our basic ecclesial communities. Please be generous for the mission! TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION From the early medieval period, it was expected that the many bishops of Italy travel to Rome at least once every three years to give a report of their ministry, with a footnote granting the bishops of Sicily a visit every five years. By the eleventh century, the idea of bishops visiting the tombs of the apostles was a very strict requirement for all within reasonable reach of Rome. The age of discovery and the expansion of the Church into remote corners of the earth made this an unreasonable burden in many cases, yet every bishop was required at least to send a representative to Rome every five years. In 1911, Pope St. Pius X established the rule for a quinquennial (meaning once in five years ) report, called an ad limina. This literally means to the threshhold, and refers to the expectation that the visiting bishop will go to the thresholds of the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul and to a personal audience with the Holy Father. An exemption was given to so-called mission territories, which in 1911 included the United States. The reports were still required, but could be filed by letter with an office of the missions called Propagation of the Faith. This status was changed in 1917 and since that time all American bishops have been subject to the ad limina. These reports, carefully kept in the Vatican archives, are a treasure trove for historians, providing snapshots of culture and faith and a record of the Church s resilience even in times of persecution and change. Grief Support Sessions Mondays, 6:30 pm at St. Patrick Church. Have you lost a loved one? Do not suffer alone. Find support in these sessions with others who have also suffered loss.
