Her great love for Jesus was expressed when she faithfully stood near the cross after the other disciples fled. She brought spices to anoint Jesus body on Easter morning and became the first witness to the resurrection. She became the Apostle to the Apostles when she announced this mystery to them. May we imitate her faithfulness and deep love for Jesus and be as eager to witness as she was. -lwc FREE FUN FRIDAYS July 29, ) John F. Kennedy Pres.

We sometimes run out of steam or reach impenetrable walls. But today s readings are about abundance and persistence, grounded in love. With God, there are no limits to mercy or promise. We don t fully understand God s mercy or the meaning or efficacy of prayer, but we are urged to continue head-on. We are invited into a loving relationship with God and one another, where there are no bounds or limits. Remembering that Jesus taught us the importance of persistent prayer, we pray now for ourselves and others. For the church: that we may join our prayer and our efforts at mercy with all believers... we pray, For a world in need of peace and wholeness; and for world leaders who see mercy as weakness... we pray, For those who have given up on prayer or feel unworthy of mercy and forgiveness... we pray, For those who have devoted their lives to prayer, even in the face of disappointment... we pray, For wisdom on the part of those attending and deliberating at this week s Democratic National Convention... we pray, For farmers and those who depend on the land for their livelihood; for weather that promotes healthy crops across the planet... we pray, For those who suffer from the summer heat, from illnesses that confine them, or from loneliness and despair... we pray, For all who are sick or dying; for those who care for them; and for those who have died... we pray, Presider Gracious God, like our ancestors in faith, we lift our hearts and voices to you in prayer. We call upon your mercy and compassion, remembering that you love and care for us. We pray in the name of your beloved Son, Jesus, who told us to ask, seek and knock with persistence. Amen.

6 O poder da Oração. 17º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Gênesis 18,20-32; Salmo 138(137); Colossenses 2,12-14; Lucas 11,1-13 A oração constitui um dos elementos essenciais da vida cristã e do seguimento de Cristo.As leituras bíblicas deste Domingo nos mostram a experiência suplicante de Abraão por seu povo e Jesus, que reza e ensina seus discípulos a rezar. Na primeira leitura (Gn 18, 20-32) aparece a comovente e atrevida oração de Abraão, em favor das cidades pecadoras, expressão magnífica da sua confiança em Deus e da sua solicitude pela salvação dos outros. Deus revelou-lhe o Seu desígnio de destruir as cidades de Sodoma e Gomorra, pervertidas ao máximo, e o patriarca procura deter o castigo, em atenção aos justos que, possivelmente, poderia haver entre os pecadores. O Evangelho (Lc 11, 1-13) retoma o tema da oração. Jesus, solicitado pelos seus discípulos, ensina-os a orar: Quando orardes, dizei: Pai, santificado seja o Teu nome. Venha o Teu reino (Lc 11, 2). O cristão, autorizado por Jesus, chama a Deus de Pai, nome que dá à oração uma atitude filial, que pode derramar o seu coração no coração de Deus, apresentando-lhe as suas necessidades, de maneira simples e espontânea, como indica o Pai-nosso. Com a parábola do amigo importuno Jesus ensina a orar com perseverança e insistência, como fez Abraão, sem temer a ser indiscretos: Pedi, procurai, batei. Não há horas inconvenientes para Deus. Nunca se aborrece da oração humilde e confiada dos Seus filhos, mas antes se compraz com ela: Todo aquele que pede recebe; quem procura encontra; e ao que bate abrir-se-á (Lc 11, 10). E, mesmo que o homem nem sempre obtenha aquilo que pede, é certo que a sua oração não é em vão, pois o Pai celeste responde sempre com o Seu amor e a seu favor, embora de uma maneira oculta e diferente da que o homem espera. O mais importante não é obter isto ou aquilo, mas sim, que nunca lhe falte a graça de ser cada dia fiel a Deus. Jesus retirava-se para rezar, com freqüência! E um dia, ao terminar a sua oração, disse-lhe um de seus discípulos: Senhor, ensina-nos a orar É o que nós temos de pedir também: Jesus, ensina-me de que modo relacionar-me contigo, dizme como e que coisas devo pedir-te Pois, se Jesus foi um homem orante, também os cristãos são chamados a serem homens e mulheres orantes. Para que possam transformar toda a sua vida numa comunhão profunda com Deus, importa dedicar espaços de tempo explicitamente ao exercício da oração. Sem dúvida a oração constitui uma profunda experiência pascal. Daí cuidarmos da vida de oração, pois a oração é o grande recurso que no resta para sair do pecado, perseverar na graça, mover o coração de Deus e atrair sobre nós toda a sorte de bênçãos do céu, quer para a alma, quer pelo que respeita às nossas necessidades temporais.
