HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME NOVEMBER 13, 2016 You know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received from anyone We wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us, In fact, while we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work neither should that one eat. An overused expression these days is role model. It often is cited when someone has failed to give the right example or falls from grace. While we have countless persons who really provide setting a good example, we sometimes fail to use role model to describe them. Paul not only presented himself as a fine example, he invited others to imitate him. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Consider some of our great saints of former times. Francis, Ignatius, Teresa. Consider recently canonized saints as St. Pope John 23 rd, St. John Paul II. Consider Katherine Drexel or Teresa. Each offers some gift to imitate resulting in holiness. Pray to and for those whose causes are being promoted, like Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero. Look in a mirror to see the reflection of a saint in the making. CHURCH OF ST. DENIS Reverend William J. P.

As our Church moves towards the conclusion of the Jubilee Year of Mercy next Sunday, 20 November, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, I share the final Meditations on Mercy from the US Bishops Website: "Then Peter approaching asked him, 'Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.' (Mt 18:21-22, 32-33) Seventy-seven times is a lot of forgiveness. What (or whom!) was Jesus thinking about when he told Peter this? Would we remain friends with someone whom we had to forgive seventy-seven times? Is this person our enemy, and if so, why would we forgive them? At the heart of this parable and Jesus' response to Peter is the truth of God's love and mercy that we have been exploring for the past year. When Jesus said this to Peter, he was providing an image of the superabundant mercy of God, whose forgiveness knows no bounds. Throughout the day, our family, friends, and coworkers may do things that bother or offend us. In spite of all our faults and all their faults, we choose to keep on loving them and forgiving their offenses. With those we love, this act is easy, but with our enemies, it is more challenging. However, we must act with mercy toward them as well. Jesus tells us to forgive our enemies (cf. Mt 5:43-48; Lk 6:27-36); in doing so, we are witnesses to the love and mercy of God as we strive to be "merciful like the Father" (Lk 6:36). Even though we are called to be like God in his merciful compassion, we are limited in our human capacity to forgive. Pope Francis acknowledges this, writing, "At times how hard it seems to forgive! And yet pardon is the instrument placed into our fragile hands to attain serenity of heart. To let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge are necessary conditions to living joyfully" (MV, no. 9). Even though it is challenging to let go, we are given the tools in our formation as baptized Christians to pardon those who offend us. These tools include our participation in the sacraments, our daily prayer, the Word of God, and the support of our parish and home communities. Only in letting go and forgiving others are we able to experience more fully the joy of the merciful love of God acting in our own lives. Sometimes this letting go involves giving up our problems to God and fully resting in his love. When we do this, we place our trust in God's compassion and strive to live out that compassion as we are able to in our own way. Reflection Questions: 1. Whom in your life do you need to forgive? Is this a challenge for you? Reflect on how abiding in God's mercy can help you forgive others and love them in spite of the resistance you might feel. 2. Throughout this Jubilee of Mercy, how have you journeyed to a deeper appreciation of God's love? How has your capacity for acting with mercy toward others developed? What are some things you can continue doing to remain in God's love and be attentive to his mercy in your life and the lives of others once this Jubilee Year is finished?
