Two More Generous People Needed!

St. Teresa of Jesus—October 15th
Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you. Gifted with a passionate spirit, young Teresa dreamed of converting Muslims and becoming a martyr. All things are passing; God never changes. But her mother’s death when Teresa was fourteen inspired lifelong devo tion to Our Lady, and Teresa entered the Carmelites, Mary’s order, despite her father’s objections and her own fragile health.
Patience gains everything. Initially, she enjoyed her lax convent’s sociability and “busyness,” but mystical prayer and John of the Cross’ collaboration inspired her to reform the Carmelites. Whoever has God, lacks noth ing.
When her ideals encountered resistance and brought suf fering, she maintained her peace—and humor. Dis covered devouring leftovers, she told her mildly scan dalized nuns, “When I fast, I fast! When I eat, I eat!” To nuns demanding less work and more prayer in the convent schedule, she retorted: “What we really need around here are fewer starry eyes and more strong arms!” God alone is enough! The itali cized sentences here are her “Breviary Bookmark,” the sim ple, profound prayer of Teresa, the first woman Doctor of the Church. — Peter Scagnelli, © Copyright, J.S. Paluch Co.
Focusing the Gospel—To the Point
What made this one leper different from the other nine? He alone returned to Jesus to give thanks for being healed. But the Gospel is telling us even more: the leper’s return revealed a depth of faith that Jesus acknowledged as a sign of salvation. Faith is discover ing who Jesus is, salvation is the lifelong journey of returning to and encountering Him. —Living Liturgy™ Spirituality, Celebration, and Catechesis for Sundays and Solemnities; Year C · 2010; Liturgical Press © 2009 by Order of Saint Benedict, Collegeville, Minnesota
