PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 The story of the gospel of this Sunday leads us to ponder our attitude of Jesus in the request of the cananite woman. It seems at first that the Lord is ignoring her pleas, rejecting, humiliating her. In fact, the Lord uses this woman of canan as an example of faith and a revelation that He was sent first to the people of Israel and then, to the whole world. Jesus reject the woman s plea. He does not pay attention at all, such is also that the disciples asked Him to send her away, for she keeps calling out after them. The Lord listens to her but does not answer her. This reminds us of our prayer, we pray a lot but it seems that the Lord does not listen to it. Yes, He listens but He does not answer right away, He wants our prayer to be one of faith. When at last the Lord answers her, He seems to be a little rough with this poor woman, who was sad and full of suffering for her sick daughter, it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs the woman could have felt herself, verbally abused or just humiliated in front of a crowd of Jewish people, but she keep going because she has faith that Jesus is the true Messiah, the son of David, by which all promised would be fulfilled. She recognizes that there is no other way for the healing of her daughter to keep insisting on the Lord. Sometimes we may feel unworthy to come to the Lord in prayer, thinking that He will reject us because of our sins, or bad habits we may be struggling with, however, we have to look at this woman and humble ourselves, recognizing ourselves nothing, like a little puppy and say: Please Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their master we have to worship Jesus, we have to pay homage to Him as she did. The best way in paying homage and adoration to Him and show our humility is in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, at Holy Mass and in the sacrament of Reconciliation. The Lord does not reject her, He helps her to strengthen her faith and to be an example to the disciples and all those who were around him. It is not enough to ask for in prayer, we must come with humility and faith. And the Lord will give us what we need. Fr. Cornelius a Lapide gives us the characteristics of Christian prayer: Contemplate the ideal of perfect prayer, and imitate it. This woman of Canaan teaches us to pray. 1. With great humility, in that she acknowledges herself to be a dog. 2. With faith, because she calls Christ the son of David, i.e., the Messiah, the God and Saviour promised to the Jews. 3. With modesty because she sets before Christ the right of dogs and her own misery; yet does she not draw from thence the conclusion that Christ should heal her daughter, but leaves that to Him. 4. With prudence, in that she takes hold of Christ by His own words, and gently turns His reasoning against Himself, into an argument for obtaining her desire. 5. With reverence, with religion and devotion, because she made her supplication on her knees. 6. With resignation in that she did not say, Heal my daughter, but help me, in the manner which shall seem to Thee best. 7. With confidence, because although a Gentile, she had a firm hope that she would be heard by Christ. 8. With ardour. 9. With charity, in that she made intercession for her daughter, as if she were anxious for herself, saying, help me. 10. With constance and perseverance, in that she persisted when she was twice repulsed and became yet more earnest in prayer.

Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Matthêu. Khi ấy, ra khỏi đó, Chúa Giêsu lui về miền Tyrô và Siđon, thì liền có một bà quê ở Canaan từ xứ ấy đến mà kêu cùng Người rằng: "Lạy Ngài là con Vua Đavít, xin thương xót tôi: con gái tôi bị quỷ ám khốn cực lắm". Nhưng Người không đáp lại một lời nào. Các môn đệ đến gần Người mà xin rằng: "Xin Thầy thương để bà ấy về đi, vì bà cứ theo chúng ta mà kêu mãi". Người trả lời: "Thầy chỉ được sai đến cùng chiên lạc nhà Israel". Nhưng bà kia đến lạy Người mà nói: "Lạy Ngài, xin cứu giúp tôi". Người đáp: "Không nên lấy bánh của con cái mà vứt cho chó". Bà ấy đáp lại: "Vâng, lạy Ngài, vì chó con cũng được ăn những mảnh vụn từ bàn của chủ rơi xuống". Bấy giờ, Chúa Giêsu trả lời cùng bà ấy rằng: "Này bà, bà có lòng mạnh tin. Bà muốn sao thì được vậy". Và ngay lúc đó, con gái bà đã được lành. Đó là lời Chúa.

I am very thankful for everyone that has prayed for me for this week and for my parents giving me the gift of God in my life. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have God!

XX DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO 20 DE AGOSTO 2017 Peregrinación Parroquial al Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe La Crosse, WI Viernes 8 de Septiembre 2017 desde 7:30 am - 7:00 pm LAMADOS A ACTUAR EN EL NOMBRE DE DIOS Que todos los pueblos te alaben! (Salmo 67:4) exclama la respuesta del salmo de hoy. En el salterio y en otras escrituras hebreas, este tipo de invocación es en realidad una invitación a Dios para que actúe e intervenga en las vidas humanas de tal manera que haga que todos no sólo el Pueblo Elegido exprese alabanzas. Dicho algo más fuerte, es como desafiar a Dios para que aguante o se calle, el tipo de palabras duras que los salmistas de Israel, confiando en su íntima relación de amor con Dios, no temían expresar. El Evangelio tiene su propia exclamación que anuncia la aparición de la mujer cananea con un Entonces (Mateo 15:22). Entonces o he aquí es una señal en la Biblia que nos indica que observemos con mucha atención, que Dios está por actuar o anunciar algo por medio de un individuo o una situación. En el caso de Jesús, Dios iba a obrar a través de esta mujer, a quien ninguno de los seguidores de Jesús hubiera creído pudiera ser una agente de la voluntad divina. Como los salmistas, puede que informemos en forma pasiva a Dios o quizás hasta activamente le desafiemos para que haga algo para que todos lleguen a creer, mas Dios siempre nos volteará las posiciones. Se convierte en nuestro llamado, nuestro deber (como lo fue para Jesús) observar atentamente las situaciones y a las personas en nuestra vida diaria para que Dios pueda actuar a través de nosotros, para que el Reino sea anunciado en nuestro diario vivir.
