2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14; Psalm 17; 2 Thessalonians 2:16 — 3:5; Luke 20:27-38 [27, 34-38]

We are nearing the end of the liturgical year. Today’s readings remind us that our own lives will draw to a close one day, and we can be certain that the Lord will encourage, strengthen, and save us—both now and at the last. The astonishing story of the Maccabees invigorates our faith as we behold an entire family willing to die rather than deny the Law of Moses. The psalm response echoes the faithful cries of the Maccabees: “I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God.” That same confidence appears in Saint Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians. “The Lord is faithful,” he testifies; “he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” In the Gospel, Jesus explains just how long God’s protection will endure. The children of God whom God guards, Jesus says, will live forever like angels. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

L D H 2 Macabeos 7:1-2, 9-14; Salmo 17 [16]; 2

Tesalonicenses 2:16 — 3:5; Lucas 20:27-38 Estamos cerca del fin del año litúrgico. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan que nuestras vidas se acercarán a su final un día, y podemos estar seguros de que el Señor nos animará, fortalecerá y salvará, tanto ahora y al final. La asombrosa historia de los macabeos revitaliza nuestra fe mientras contemplamos a una familia entera dispuesta a morir en lugar de negar la Ley de Moisés. La respuesta del salmo hace eco a los gritos fieles de los macabeos “Te invoqué, y me respondiste, Señor”. La misma confianza aparece en la carta de san Pablo a los tesalonicenses. “El Señor s fiel”, él da testimonio, “él te fortalecerá y protegerá del maligno”. En el Evangelio, Jesús explica por cuánto tiempo la protección de Dios perdurará. Los hijos de Dios a quien Dios cuida, Jesús dice, vivirán por siempre, como los ángeles. Copyright © J. S.

O P Joseph Fiocco (1703-1741)

Fiocco was born and died in Brussels. He was the music director at the Cathedral in Antwerp from 1731 until 1737. From 1737-1741 he was the director of music at St. Gudule in Brussels

O P Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706)

Pachelbel was born and died in Nuremberg, Germany. He was educated in Vienna and appointed organist at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. He was a close friend of the Bach family. In 1692 he returned to Nuremberg where he became organist at St. Sebald. Today, he is most remembered for a piece of chamber music called Canon in D Major. However, he wrote an enormous amount of music for the organ.

En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección de fray Junípero Serra alzaron una cruz en Alta California, dedicando la primera misión en la zona a san Diego de Alcalá. Diego, cuya fiesta es el 13 de noviembre, fue un franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo español nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo servir a Dios como hermano lego (laico) ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los enfermos. Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los demás. Aun cuando lo hicieron guardián (líder franciscano) nunca dejo de servir a los pobres, los enfermos y a sus hermanos franciscanos. Su afán por dar a los pobres las cosas del convento lo llevaba a esconder sus donaciones en su manto. Una vez un hermano le preguntó que escondía y el mintiendo respondió: “rosas”. El hermano insistió verlas y en lugar de la comida que llevaba a los pobres, aparecieron rosas y más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San Diego, California se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1) solidaridad con los más necesitados, 2) devoción a Cristo crucificado y 3) evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

In the seventeenth century, English Catholics, many of them wealthy and well educated, looked to the American colonies as a place to regain a measure of religious freedom. In Ireland, the so-called penal laws were even harsher than in England, as a minority Parliament tried to force the conversion of the population by denying the majority political and economic power. Beginning in 1691, laws were passed that punished dissenters, principally Catholics, but also causing hardship for Jews, Quakers, and others. There were acts forbidding “mixed marriage” or sending children “beyond the seas” for schooling. Catholics were taxed at double the common rate, barred from the legal professions and from university, and not allowed to build churches or own a decent horse. In 1793 the situation began to change, as it became clear that the economic persecution would not drive the majority away from Catholicism. Gradually, laws were repealed until by 1829 freedom was won, although Catholics at university were ineligible for honors, and until the 1920s when the Republic was formed, the Church of Ireland was the state church, funded by the taxes of all citizens. —James Field.

AROUND SACRED HEART

R M C Every Monday morning, our money counters count the offertory collections from the Saturday and Sunday Masses. They start at 6:30 am and finish about 10:30 am. Historically, our counters stick with this ministry over many years. One of our counters started with this ministry in 1996, the year of the Atlanta Olympics. The work is not too difficult, but it does require an attention to detail. Previous experience in bookkeeping is not required. Also, there is an Archdiocese background check required for those serving in this ministry. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity to serve, please contact Rob Berling at rberling@bellsouth.net
