Father, sometimes I am overwhelmed by the things that are expected of me. Balancing work and home responsibilities can be a struggle. At those times when I feel as if I can do no more, help me to remember what a blessing it is to have a job and a place to call home. Amen.
Luke 17: 1-6
Jesus said to his disciples,
“Things that cause sin will inevitably occur,
but woe to the one through whom they occur.
It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck
and he be thrown into the sea
than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Be on your guard!
If your brother sins, rebuke him;
and if he repents, forgive him.
And if he wrongs you seven times in one day
and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’
you should forgive him.”
And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
you would say to this mulberry tree,
‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

This week the Oblates in India are praying for you.
The Oblates in India are celebrating their 55th anniversary working in the country. In India, where only 2 percent of the population is Christian, the Oblates not only minister to the Catholic population but also reach out the poor regardless of their faith. The Oblates run ten schools in rural areas for people on the margins of society. About 2,000 children attend these schools, and 95 percent of them are not Christians.

Audio de la oración diaira leída por el p. Uribe, O.M.I.
Padre, a veces me siento abrumado por las cosas que esperan de mí. Balancear las responsabilidades del trabajo y del hogar puede ser una verdadera lucha. En esos momentos en los que siento que no puedo hacer más, ayúdame a recordar la bendición que significa tener un trabajo y un lugar al cual llamar hogar. Amén.
Lc 17, 1-6
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “No es posible evitar que existan ocasiones de pecado, pero ¡ay de aquel que las provoca! Más le valdría ser arrojado al mar con una piedra de molino sujeta al cuello, que ser ocasión de pecado para la gente sencilla. Tengan, pues, cuidado.
Si tu hermano te ofende, trata de corregirlo; y si se arrepiente, perdónalo. Y si te ofende siete veces al día, y siete veces viene a ti para decirte que se arrepiente, perdónalo”.
Los apóstoles dijeron entonces al Señor: “Auméntanos la fe”. El Señor les contestó: “Si tuvieran fe, aunque fuera tan pequeña como una semilla de mostaza, podrían decirle a ese árbol frondoso: ‘Arráncate de raíz y plántate en el mar’, y los obedecería”.
