Prayers for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time - October 12,

2019

Two stories of healing in today’s readings have common threads. Both Naaman and the Samaritan are outsiders, judged by some as unworthy of healing. But the faith of each is related to God’s healing, and that healing leads to expressions of gratitude. God’s gifts are freely given to surprising people in surprising ways. Faith is an essential component. But even more important is gratitude.

Let us pray for those in need and in thanksgiving for all things that call for our gratitude.

For all baptized Christians, that we may be a people of gratitude for all God has done for us … we pray,

For gratitude that there is peace, wherever it may be found — even in a world with war and conflict … we pray,

For gratitude as we recognize the gift of healing in anyone who has suffered from illness, addiction, depression or any kind of pain … we pray,

For instruments of God’s healing: for doctors and nurses, therapists and counselors, researchers and spiritual guides … we pray,

For our Jewish brothers and sisters, who commemorate this week the most holy penitential Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur … we pray,

For wisdom among our electorate, who will soon make decisions for the future of our country … we pray,

For all in our midst who are burdened in any way; and for those who have died; we pray,

PRAYER: God of healing, your gifts are freely given, but not always gratefully received. Help us to remember all that you do for us. Make us generous in our view of others, whose faith we may not recognize. We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

‘A Fé que salva os marginalizados.’

28º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Ex 32,7-11.13-14; Sl 50; 1Tm 1,12-17; Lc 15,1-32

Filhos amados da Paróquia Sagrada Família em Lowell. Iniciamos o mês missionário e devemos meditar: Como está meu cumprimento missionário? No domingo passado refletimos sobre fé e serviço e ainda continuamos a refletir sobre esses pontos evangélicos. É na comunidade que vivemos o espaço onde Deus se manifesta. A Igreja não é um lugar de reunião apenas para " pagar ou pedir graças ", mas sim um lugar onde voltamos para celebrar o Deus que nos dá tudo de graça, principalmente nossa vida. Ele nos deu sua vida, seu Filho Jesus por nós e deixou sua vida para nós na Eucaristia. Diante do evangelho desse Domingo nos deparamos com muitos irmãos e irmãs na caminhada e lembramos que já pedimos ao Senhor o aumento da nossa fé e a vontade de nos colocarmos a serviço dos irmãos mas mesmo com todo esse esforço ainda nos encontramos com muitos irmãos e irmãs no caminho com Jesus na longa jornada até Jerusalém, mas muitos se sentem "leprosos" impedidos de se aproximarem do Salvador. Hoje nós temos o dever e obrigação de nos posicionarmos a favor desses. Esses leprosos podemos encontrar na Comunidade, nas nossas Pastorais e mesmo nas nossa família doméstica, pois estão afastados de Deus e fora do nosso convívio. Será que não seguimos nossa jornada sem pensar nessa situação? Jesus quer a inclusão dessas pessoas pelas quais talvez nós deixemos para traz excluindo-as mais ainda por acharmos que apenas nós que participamos às vezes de uma missa dominical somos os "puros" e esses continuam excluídos. Enfim meus filhos amados, sejamos esse "leproso" que reconhecemos nossa cura e voltamos ao convívio do Senhor e dos irmãos. "Levante-se e vá. Sua fé o salvou" Deus abençoe a todos e uma feliz e santa semana. God bless you.

HOLY FAMILY PARISH 28th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

A PRAYER FOR HEALING Lord, you invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing hand to heal me.

Touch my soul with your compassion for others.

Touch my heart with your courage and infinite love for all.

Touch my mind with your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim your praise.

<< True charity consists in bearing with all the defects of our neighbors, in not being surprised at their failings, and in being edified by their least virtues. Charity ought to enlighten and make joyful not only those who are dearest to me, but all who are in the house.

~St. Therese of Lixieux >>
