October 30, 2013: Wednesday, 30th week, Ordinary Time
Readings
- Rom 8:26-30 We don't know how to pray; Spirit intercedes with groanings according to God’s will. All things work for good for those who love God. God foreknew, predestined, conformed, called, justified, and glorified them.
- Ps 13:4-5, 6 "My hope, O Lord, is in your mercy." Answer me, Lord God!
- Lk 13:22-30 Enter through the narrow gate. You'll ask, "Lord, open the door; we know you," and he'll reply, "Depart from me, evildoers!" You'll wail when cast out while others enter. Some last will be first, some first last.”
Reflections
- Pope Francis to World Council of Churches: God is at work where life is cherished, and justice and peace prevail. Pray and cooperate in the service of the Gospel and the human family. Witness to human dignity; enable growth in freedom, ensure sound education, and guarantee religious liberty. Reach out to the vulnerable: poor, disabled, unborn, sick, migrants, refugees, elderly, unemployed.
- RC.net: Enter by narrow door = follow Jesus. Strive = struggle. Trust.
- Creighton: Sacrifice, hoping in God's mercy. Spirit and community are advocates.
- Universalis: St. Marcellus, martyr
