TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, OCTOBER 2, 2016 LET GO AND LET GOD Many twelve-step programs use the phrase “Let go and let God.” In all their simplicity, these five words are the heart of today’s readings. For people who struggle with addictive behavior, these words plainly remind us that we can’t manage, control, or manipulate certain areas of our lives. How many times can we look back in our lives and find evidence of some plan at work other than our own? These are the moments when, for whatever reasons, we let someone greater than ourselves work the plan. We probably didn’t even recognize at the time that we were letting go of anything, but in retrospect, we see God’s hand and loving presence. It is our awareness of these moments that gives us the courage and initiative to let go again later on. It is this courage and initiative that are highlighted in today’s readings. We come to call it “faith.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

En toda su simplicidad, estas cinco palabras son el corazón de las lecturas de hoy. Para personas que luchan con alguna conducta adictiva, estas palabras nos recuerdan de manera categórica que no podemos manejar, controlar ni manipular ciertas áreas de nuestras vidas. ¿Cuántas veces podemos mirar hacia nuestro pasado y encontrar evidencia de algún plan elaborándose, diferente al nuestro? Estos son los momentos cuando, por cualquier razón, permitimos a alguien superior que nosotros que implemente el plan. En ese momento, incluso ni nos dimos cuenta de que estábamos dejando ir algo, pero en retrospectiva, vemos las manos y la amorosa presencia de Dios. Es nuestra conciencia de esos momentos lo que nos da el valor y la iniciativa para dejar ir algo más tarde. Son el valor y la iniciativa resaltados en las lecturas de hoy. A esto lo llamamos “fe”.
