We celebrate and honor the Saints during the month of October. Be a Saint and donate to the Thanksgiving Food Drive.
The Thanksgiving Food Drive started last Sunday and continues through the 18th of November. Students are encouraged to bring canned and boxed food items (no
glass) to the Parish Center and place them in the containers provided. Everyone’s participation is greatly appreciated. All the food that is collected will be distributed the Monday before Thanksgiving to families of the parish who need a little help at this time of year. Thanksgiving Food Baskets The Confirmation students will host the annual Turkey Feather Pull in November. The students will create a large turkey on a bulletin board with lots of colorful feathers. Each feather will have a food item printed on it. Parishioners are invited and encouraged to pluck a feather from the turkey, purchase the item listed, and return that item to the church office no later than 9am on Sunday, November 22nd. Many of the items will require refrigeration so it is best to bring those items to the parish hall on Saturday, Nov. 21st, or Sunday, Nov. 22nd. The food items will make up the Thanksgiving food baskets which the Confirmation students will assemble the morning of the 22nd. The baskets will be available for the families to pick up on Monday, Nov. 23rd. Please contact the church office if you or a family you know needs a food basket for Thanksgiving. Families must sign up no later than November 8th. Please contact the church office by November 8th to fill out a request form.
Thirtieth Week of Ordinary Time
A vision of comfort and healing is offered for the Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time. In Jeremiah, we see the Lord gathering “his people” - the blind, the lame and the helpless innocents, bringing them together to console and guide them. In Mark’s Gospel, Bartimaeus, the blind beggar has the courage to beg for healing from Jesus. He is hushed by the crowd but continues to call loudly for Jesus, who hears him and heals him. “Go your way; your faith has saved you.”
Wednesday is the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles.
The first reading all week continues with the third week of Paul’s longest letter, the Letter to the Romans, with his teaching of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Gospel of Luke offers a glimpse of Jesus healing and teaching the people, even as he continues to clash with religious leaders. He cures the “bent woman” on a Sabbath and tells of the tiny mustard seed which develops to become a full grown bush. He repeats that it will not be easy to enter the Kingdom: “For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” He defies those who bring word of threats on his life and defies the silent Pharisees who watch as he cures a man on the Sabbath. Jesus encourages us to be humble: “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME/TRIGÉSIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
!LLÁMENLO!
v El ciego que estaba al borde del camino, gritaba: “Jesús, hijo de David, ten compasión de mi”.
v Los que iban con Cristo regañaban al hombre y le decían que se callara. Cristo se detuvo y dijo: “Llámenlo”.
v A la orilla del camino de nuestra vida hay muchos ciegos, tullidos, ancianos, mujeres con niños hambrientos en brazos, indígenas pidiendo limosna…
v Hay, quizá, también un cónyuge pidiendo un poco más de cariño o un poco más de comprensión…
v Hay, probablemente, algún hijo pidiendo nuestro afecto y nuestro tiempo…
v Hay, tal vez, algún familiar que vive muy solo o en circunstancias económicas muy difíciles…
v Hay –si somos jefes o empresarios- muchos subordinados pidiendo respeto como personas humanas…
v Hay, quizá, trabajadores en nuestras fábricas que estén pidiendo con razón más justicia y mejores salarios…
v Hay muchos hombres y mujeres y niños, especialmente en nuestras zonas indígenas, exigiendo un mínimo de solidaridad humana y de ayuda económica…
v Hay muchas personas a las que por nuestro trabajo o profesión tenemos que servir, pidiendo atención y eficacia…
v La orden de Cristo –entonces como ahora- sigue siendo la misma: “Llámenlos”.
A nosotros nos toca ver que podemos hacer por ellos.
