Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
World Youth Day in Krakow: “Blessed are the merciful, for
they will be shown mercy”
This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World Youth Day in Krakow, where WYD’s founder, St. John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme
coincides with that of Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy: “Blessed are the merciful, for
they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). Today’s Gospel echoes the same theme, as
Jesus unites prayer with mercy in “The parable of the persistent friend.” Jesus teaches
us not only what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer. How
beautifully down-to-earth is Jesus’ portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for
us. A pesky neighbor disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet
beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical mercy in loaves of
bread, recalling Luke’s unique expression for the Eucharist, “the breaking of bread” (Luke
24:35; Acts 2:42). WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as
persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy toward our neighbor.
