Pray and work for justice

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ

“A full Christian life includes both prayer and social action. Without prayer, our apostolic work lacks a solid foundation. But without social action, our prayer is sterile and fruitless” – US Bishop Thomas J Tobin

In today’s Gospel (Luke 18:1-8) Jesus uses the parable of the widow – determined to get justice -as a way of teaching his disciples to pray persistently. Too often we ignore the need to nurture our life of prayer. Prayer is essential if we are to deepen our love for God and for our neighbour and to develop a spirituality of justice.

Fr Joe’s Gospel Reflection Oct 10 – 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)

by Fr Joseph Harris, CSSp

Gospel Lk: 17, 11 – 19

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”

Give thanks for God’s gifts

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart

Too often we pray to God for all sorts of things and when our prayers are answered, like the nine lepers in today’s Gospel (Luke 17:11-19), we forget to give Him thanks.

In today’s Gospel, it is a Samaritan, a person who is not a Jew, who returns to thank Jesus for healing him. All we have is “gift” from God for which we should be thankful.
