CONFIANZA EN EL SEÑOR

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 con- templamos a una familia entera dis-puesta 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 mis-ma confianza aparece en la carta de san Pablo a los tesa-lonicenses. “El Señor s fiel”, él da tes monio, “él te fortalecerá y protegerá del maligno”. En el Evangelio, Jesús explica por cuánto empo la protec-ción de Dios perdurará. Los hijos de Dios a quien Dios cuida, Jesús dice, vivirán por siempre, como los ángeles.

Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples… It’s What We Are All About WE need YOU to make a great Ministry at St. Thomas Aquinas!

Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women

who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them for their unselfish service in the con nual struggle

to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us. Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made for

their many different contribu ons to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression. We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them.

We pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness.

By Joanna Fuchs

Veteran’s Day is November 11th, 2019. It is an important day to honor and show apprecia on for the members of our military, past and present.
