FRIENDS and SERVANTS of the WORD 29th Saturday of Ordinary Time October 24, 2020 WORD of the DAY At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them, do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!” And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. [So] cut it down. Why should it...

FRIENDS and SERVANTS of the WORD 29th Friday of Ordinary Time October 23, 2020 WORD of the DAY He also said to the crowds, “When you see [a] cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain—and so it does; and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot—and so it is. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time? Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate, make an effort to settle the matter on the way; otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison. I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny. (Luke 12: 54-59) How shall I live this Word? We know how to evaluate the weather conditions, says Jesus, but we are not capable of discerning the time we live. We...

FRIENDS and SERVANTS of the WORD 29th Thursday of Ordinary Time October 22, 2020 WORD of the DAY I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. (Luke 12: 49-53) How shall I live this Word? “Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.” The choice to follow Jesus, when done in a radical way without compromise, always involves risks, persecutions, misunderstandings even on the part of those who, having always known us, would have more reasons to understand and welcome us. But it is precisely when we are...
