SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

First Reading: Wisdom 12:13, 16-19 This passage from the Book of Wisdom addresses itself to God, giving praise and thanksgiving for his mercy. Second Reading: Romans 8:26-27

Paul indicates that since people are, in general, unaccustomed to the manner of praying, of speaking directly to God, the Holy Spirit will intercede for them. Gospel: Matthew 13:24-43

According to Matthew, Jesus speaks of the “reign of God” in three parables: the man who soweth good seed, the mustard seed, and the yeast. In each parable, Jesus demonstrates that once the “reign of God” had been established, it grew and spread.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

“The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we

ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groaning. And the one who

searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit. But though you are master of

might you judge with great clemency and with much lenience you govern us…and you

taught that those who are just must be kind.”

Do I understand that when I decide ‘I am going to pray’ that this is a response to the movement

of the Spirit? When I pause to pray or plea, to thank or speak my words do I recognize the aid of

that same Spirit? Paul helps us understand what sparks our prayer. Remember the prayer

poem ‘Lovely lady dressed in blue, teach me how to pray.’

I might also find strength knowing that my intentions are good and positive as I pause and pray

for others. I am concerned about their well being, their peace and happiness. I want to be free of

judging others, as God judges me with clemency and wants me as a just person to be kind.

There are many helps for our prayer life in the readings of scripture today.

UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES SU PALABRA HOY por el Reverendo William J. Reilly

Décimo Sexto Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario 23 de julio de 2017

“El Espíritu viene en ayuda de nuestra debilidad porque no sabemos orar como es debido; pero es Espíritu intercede por nosotros con gemidos inefables. Y el que sondea los corazones conoce el deseo del Espíritu y sabe que su intercesión en favor de los santos está de acuerdo con la voluntad divina… Pero, como eres dueño absoluto de tu fuerza, juzgas con serenidad y nos gobiernas con gran indulgencia… tú enseñaste a tu pueblo que el justo debe ser amigo de los hombres.”

¿Entiendo que cuando decido ‘Voy a orar’, esta es una respuesta al movimiento del Espíritu? ¿Cuando me detengo a orar o a pedir, a agradecer o a hablar, reconozco la ayuda del mismo Espíritu? San Pablo nos ayuda a comprender qué es lo que enciende nuestra oración. Recuerde la oración del poema: ‘Bella dama vestida de azul, enséñame a orar.’

Puede que encuentre yo fuerza sabiendo que mis intenciones son buenas y positivas al detenerme a orar por otros. Me preocupo por su bienestar, su paz y felicidad. Deseo ser libre de juzgar a otros, ya que Dios me juzga a mí con clemencia y desea que yo, como persona justa, sea generoso.

Hay mucha ayuda para nuestra vida de oración en las lecturas de las escrituras hoy.
