Halloween As a child you no doubt put on a costume and amassed a bagful of candy from generous neighbors. But do you know the history of this ghoulish holiday? Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). Celebrated in the winter, it was a time of great fear and uncertainty. Food supplies ran low...days were short...and dangerous cold threatened. Many people were afraid of the dark and refused to leave their homes. It was believed that the sprits of all who died the preceding year would return and haunt the living. Those who ventured from home dressed up in grotesque costumes to fool spirits into believing that they were just another spirit. People also left food at their doors to appease the spirits. During the 8th century, the Christian church replaced this pagan holiday by proclaiming November 1st All Saints Day The night before was called All Hallows Eve (meaning: Holy Evening which eventually became known as Halloween.

When we judge others for their behavior, no matter how unsavory it is, we need to remember that God s mercy is not just available to us it s there for all people. Surprising things happened to Zacchaeus, the maligned tax collector who looked for Jesus. God s mercy is so much bigger than ours. My friends, we pray for all people throughout the world, that they may experience God s surprising mercy. For the church and for members of all faith traditions who hope for God s mercy we pray, For an attitude of mercy toward those we judge to be sinners or slackers or unworthy of mercy for whatever reason we pray, For those who refuse to show mercy toward others, and for the ability to recognize our own need for mercy and forgiveness we pray, For healing the divisions in our country we pray, For the poor and disenfranchised; and for those who judge them as unworthy of public assistance we pray, For our national election: that the outcome may reflect a concern for the common good we pray, For peace, and for those who perceive violence and war as God s punishment toward others we pray, For the sick and the dying, the grieving and the discouraged among us; and for those who have died; we pray, PRAYER: God of surprises, we are grateful for the many times you have shown mercy to us imperfect people. Remove judgment toward others from our hearts and grant us the capacity to see all people through your merciful eyes. We pray in the name of Jesus, who called everyone to repentance. Amen.

6 Jesus vai na casa de um pecador 31* DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM Se fizéssemos uma pesquisa comprovaríamos que não são poucos os que, completamente ignorantes em relação à fé, têm uma vida fora dos padrões evangélicos, no entanto, um dia, diante do conhecimento de Deus são movidas a uma mudança radical no seu modo de viver. Por isso, a história de Zaqueu é igual à de muitas pessoas que vivem uma vida afastada de Deus, entregues somente aos seus planos, alheios aos mandamentos de amor aos irmãos, e que em um certo momento, de alguma forma, são atraídas para Jesus. Zaqueu, como muitos hoje, tinha uma ambição desmedida e prejudicava e explorava os outros com a cobrança de impostos, por isso, ficou muito rico. Era um pecador público, como também alguns políticos, governantes, pessoas que hoje têm poder e autoridade, mas que se aproveitam disso para se engrandecer. No entanto, um dia Zaqueu procurou ver quem era Jesus! A princípio não conseguiu por causa da multidão, mas, fez um esforço supremo subiu na árvore e foi notado por Ele. Jesus o mandou descer depressa, e se ofereceu para levar a salvação para sua casa. O Zaqueu hoje pode ser cada um que, embora nem seja rico (a), nem tenha explorado ninguém, não se sentiu ainda tocado (a) por Jesus nem motivado a uma verdadeira conversão. Muitos ainda hoje, apesar de viver sempre procurando encontrar Jesus, não o conseguem. A multidão os atrapalha, os seus interesses os impedem de ter uma experiência verdadeira com a Salvação. No entanto só o fato de se sentirem atraídos (as) para Ele já indica que têm Fé e esperança de encontrá-lo. Em qualquer situação em que estejamos nunca poderemos desistir de procura-lo e de ter uma experiência pessoal com Ele, pois, tem poder de transformar a nossa vida negativa em justiça e bondade e continua hoje também esperando os Zaqueu dos nossos dias. Jesus conta com a intercessão daqueles que já O encontraram para que a salvação entre na casa e no coração de todos os pecadores. Você conhece alguém com as características do Zaqueu? Você tem ajudado ou atrapalhado para que ele(a) tenha um encontro com Jesus Salvador? Você já teve uma experiência forte com Jesus Cristo? Qual foi o resultado dessa experiência? Você já o levou para sua casa? Padre Elcio Antonio dos Santos Silva Cópia do original: Liturgia Comentada Leitura Diária Semanal 2- feira Fl 2,1-4 Sl 130, Ev. Lc 14, feira Fl 2,5-11 Sl 21,26b Ev.
