Audio: Saint Teresa of Avila�
After having been a nun for twenty years, St. Teresa of Avila had a
radical transformation in her own life and then became one of the
most powerful forces for bringing about conversion and positive
change in the history of the Church. Listen and learn about this �
Mystic, Doctor of the Church, and True Reformer. �

R�
ender a just decision for me against my adversary.” Today’s Gospel features a persistent
widow who ekes out justice from a notoriously cold�hearted judge. Why does she win the
day? “Because the widow keeps bothering me.” Jesus’ recommendation to the disciples is
to be persistent in prayer, because surely God the Father is
far more attuned to their needs than this judge. If only it
were that easy, right? We’ve all experienced the unanswered
prayer, the silence after our cries. When this continues,
sometimes it can be difficult to have faith in God or believe
He answers prayers. It can be easy to lapse into a sense of
His distance. We want Him to do something “fair,” which �
in our limited view � typically means that something works
out in our favor.
� There are, of course, many legitimate cries for justice.
We live in a fallen world filled with flawed human beings. We hurt each other, sometimes
grievously, and our efforts to remake the world in our image can result in unjust, inhumane
systems. Faced with the problem of evil, we may wonder how God will “secure the rights of his
chosen ones.” Sometimes, He may well seem “slow to answer them.”
� In the face of these very real questions, it’s important to recall the words of the prophet
Isaiah, that God’s thoughts “are not [our] thoughts.” His ways are not our ways. God respects
the freedom He has given us. When we see what free will has wrought, perhaps we question
God’s better judgment! Yet somehow, we hear that He mysteriously works all things for our
good. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we are always free to love. We are invited to
be persistent in our prayer, to continue bringing our concerns before God in trusting surrender.
We are invited to love well in the circumstances we find ourselves in, to be a light in the
darkness. No matter when � or if � our prayers are answered the way we would like, we are
nonetheless invited to witness to “faith on earth.”�

desire to help & understand that the time
visiting is as important as the work being done.
Volunteers will always work in groups of two or more.
If interested in volunteering OR if you need
help...please email [email protected] or
call 845�235�5985
We will have a meeting of all volunteers in a few
