The apostles said to the Lord,
"Increase our faith."
Luke 17:5
Page 2 A Word From...
Today’s Gospel reading consists of two connected passages. The first,
briefer passage is Jesus’ response to a petition from His apos-
tles: “Increase our faith.” To the apostles’ asking for faith, Jesus answers
by discussing works.
In this first passage Jesus shows how the works of an authentic Christian
are rooted in the divine virtue of faith. The passage also reveals the pow-
er of faith: this power is shown by the disproportion between “faith the
size of a mustard seed” and the great work of a mulberry tree being up-
rooted and planted in the sea.
Often Catholics can find themselves in debates with separated Christian
brethren over the relationship between faith and good works. Perhaps
one problem in understanding the connection between these two is that
our faith is so meager that we’re content to carry out merely “good works”.
In fact, Christ calls His disciples not only to carry out good works that can
be accomplished by natural human abilities alone, such as the corporal
works of mercy, which can be carried out by persons who do not believe
in God. In addition to good works, Christ calls His disciples to strive to
carry out great works. If we Christians carried out great works, we’d have
less reason to ascribe such works solely to our own human efforts, since
we’d be forced by common sense to realize that such great works are only
possible by means of faith.
However, the Gospel Reading’s second passage offers another way to
reflect upon the connection between faith and works. It’s not quite a para-
ble. We might instead call it a guided reflection. Through it, Jesus illus-
trates one of the necessary motives of those whose works are animated
by faith. This motive is certainly not the only one that a Christian needs in
order to produce authentic works. But its absence in a Christian’s soul
inevitably leads to the chief vice of the Christian spiritual life.
Servanthood is the focus of Jesus’ guided reflection. Servanthood, or
servantship, is similar to stewardship. Servanthood and stewardship are
both demanded by those who follow Jesus. They have much in common,
but each has its own unique characteristics.
The image of servanthood sharply focuses our attention upon the relation-
ship between the master and the servant. It focuses upon the radical
dependence of the servant upon the master, and in particular, upon the
master’s will.
October 6, 2019 –
The 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
By Fr. Thomas Hoisington
Habakkuk 1:2-3;2:2-4 + 2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14 + Luke 17:5-10
https://catholicdioceseofwichita.org/reflections/2019-10-06/
By contrast, the concept of stewardship implies a distance between the
steward and his lord. The steward is independent, at least for whatever
period of time the lord chooses to be away. The steward acts in the name
of the lord during his absence, whether that lasts for days or years. In
J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece The Lord of the Rings, the stewards of Gon-
dor reigned for centuries while the heirs to the king’s throne lived in ex-
ile. In the case of the steward Denethor, such lengthy independence re-
sulted in consuming, self-destructive pride.
Pride is the target of Jesus’ preaching in today’s Gospel Reading. The
humility that Jesus calls for is reflected in His final words: “So should it be
with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, ‘We
are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.’” Of
course, humility is a virtue that both stewards and servants are called to
exhibit. What particular quality, then, does Jesus’ image of a servant de-
mand, and how does that quality work against pride?
Given that servanthood focuses on the radical dependence of the servant
upon the master’s will, servanthood demands the virtue of obedi-
ence. Obedience motivates and directs one’s works in accord with God’s
providential will.
Many Christians might be surprised to learn that the word “obedience” is
derived from the Latin infinitive “obedire”, which can be translated as “to
listen”. Naturally, a servant can’t obey his master unless he first listens to
his master’s command. This demands being ready for the master to issue
his command, which in turn demands attentive listening: not to stand at
attention, but to listen at attention, humbly waiting not for the master’s re-
turn, but for his word; not at the end of time or even at the hour of my
death, but here and now and at every moment that I live. +
Sunday Connection (Loyola Press www.loyolapress.com/our-catholic-faith/)
Gospel Reading: Luke 17:5-10
Jesus teaches the apostles the importance of faith and service to God.
Background on the Gospel Reading: In today's Gospel we hear Jesus
teach about faith and service to God. The context is a continuing dialogue
between Jesus and his followers about what it means to be a disciple of
Jesus. Jesus has just finished an instruction on sin and forgiveness. There
are two related teachings
that Jesus offers to his dis-
ciples when they cry out for
an increase in faith. The
first is the familiar reminder
that faith, even just a little,
will enable the followers of
Jesus to do wondrous
things. But this uplifting and
inspiring teaching is quickly followed by the second teaching, a caution
about knowing one's place in God's plans. The disciples of Jesus are to
understand themselves as servants to God and his plans. Even when God
works wonders through us, with our mustard seed-sized faith, we must not
seek praise. Our participation in God's plans is God's grace to us—
nothing more, nothing less. When we are graced enough to cooperate
with God, the work we do is nothing more than our obligation to God as
faithful stewards. And yet, our faith enables us to believe that what we
have offered in service to God, as his servants, can be made to produce a
hundredfold. +

Remembering the Sick in Prayer
With full trust and faith, we bring our needs before the Lord.
That the Church will stir into flame the many and varied gifts which the
Spirit gives to the laity, and always encourage them.
For the priests serving in this Diocese, that those entering into Convoca-
tion and those staying behind to serve will be blessed according to
God’s holy will.
For all those called to the priesthood or consecrated life in this Diocese,
that they will joyfully do what they are called to do.
That there may be an end to the violence of crime, war, abortion and
oppression.
That God's people may take an active, informed, and responsible role
as citizens of our great nation.
That those who no longer practice the faith, especially among our own
families, may not harden their hearts but rather hear the Lord calling
them back. .
That the sick may be comforted and healed, and in turn serve the needs
of others.
That all who have died may be received into everlasting life and joy.

He heals the brokenhearted and
binds up their wounds.
(Psalm 147:3)
God offers us comfort and the medi-
cine for everything broken and
wounded to our being. We may feel
that nothing is going right in our lives
and the pain is growing day by day,
yet those sufferings are not perma-
nent. No wounds can be left un-
healed if we offer them to Him.

Marriage Enrichment For
All Our Years! Looking for a
way to increase the love and ro-
mance in your marriage? Do you
need time just for the two of you?
A Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Weekend Experience may be the
answer. Instead of simply listening to lectures about how to improve your
marriage, you will actually learn a practical communication technique and
have an opportunity to rediscover your hopes and dreams for your marriage.
Per Father Soane’s direction, he suggested a core team created for
the Filipino Ministry at Divine Mercy. A team met and discussed how
to progressively re-group our Filipino Ministry under one umbrella.
We invited majority of our Fil-AMs a week before and 15 of us
showed up!
By God’s good graces and guidance, this bulletin announce-
ment is here to spread the good news that - by a majority of votes,
the Divine Mercy Filipino American Community (DMFC) is
now established.
And so, to keep the momentum going, we are calling all Fil-AMs
to come and be part of this DMFC -- to UNITE, COLLABORATE,
and SHARE our resources in our collective effort To Serve God
through our Own Divine Mercy Parish-Our Place of WORSHIP.
Our next meeting will take place this Sunday, October 6,
2019 at 2:00pm @ Portable Classroom #1!
The topic: Election of Officers, the Brick Project, the upcoming Sim-
bang Gabi and the Santo Niño Feast Day!
Let’s do this KABABAYAN!
The time, talents, and
treasure entrusted to us are all God’s.
Our very lives belong to Him. Whatever we do
on God’s behalf with our lives and our gifts is
simply our God-given responsibility.
Our Second Annual Parish-wide Stewardship
Drive is on! This 4-week program will culmi-
nate with our Parish Giving Day, November 2nd/3rd. It’s your weekend to
sign up to give your time, talent and treasure to our church.
The Stewardship Drive
is here!
