Thoughts From Fr. Tom

In today’s Gospel, Jesus holds up a widow as an ex-ample of what it means to trust in God. In her willingness to give all she had she practices a total dependence on God that those with much more wealth and religious status fail to understand. Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole liveli-hood. We are invited to become more like the widow in our attitude toward giving. Does our giving lead us to a greater dependence on God? Does our giving lead us to a greater appreciation for the blessings God has shared with us? Where do we place our trust? The Gospel we hear today is a perfect lead-in for our annual Stewardship Renewal, which begins this week-end. Committing ourselves to a life of stewardship is about recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God and trusting that as we share our gifts generously God will provide for us. During the next few weeks you are encouraged to reflect on how you share of your time, talent, and treasure with our parish community. Our focus this year is to challenge every parishioner to be involved in at least one ministry area of the parish. Where can you use your time and gifts to help strengthen our community and deepen your faith? We are blessed to have many parishioners who do many things, but how incredible would it be to have everyone involved in something? All registered parish households will be receiving a mailing for our Stewardship Renewal. Please take time to com-plete the Stewardship commitment card and the financial pledge card and return with you to Mass on the weekend of November 21-22. We rely on your commitment to Stewardship to continue the important work of our parish. Thank you for your generosity. The ROYALS won the WORLD SERIES! How amazing these last few weeks have been to watch the KC Royals become World Champions in baseball. They have kept us up late at night and on the edge of our seats. They have become our team and have made us proud of our city. For the most part, they have done it with class and through hard work and determination. While major league sports is big business and professional athletes make crazy amounts of money, there can also be important life lessons to learn from the journey the Royals have been on. It’s been a fun ride. Hopefully we can keep the energy going and share the best of what we’ve learned from our team in blue. Please join us next Saturday, November 14, at 9:00 a.m. for our Fall Parish Clean Up Day. This is a great way to give of your time to help the parish. Please see the bulletin for details. Many Blessings!

STEWARDSHIP

Both widows in today’s readings gave all they had to the work of the Lord, one using all her remaining food to feed Elijah and the other offering her two copper coins to the temple treasury. Faithful stewards give all that is asked and trust the Lord to be faithful to His promises. - Stewardship by the Book

YOUTH MINISTRY

ForgivenessForgivenessForgiveness This week the young people of our parish preparing for Reconciliation reflected on the story of the prodigal son and the forgiving father. Each time we pray the Our Father we are reminded of God’s forgiving love and our call, as children of God, to share the forgiving love with others. How do we as a parish welcome people unconditionally with a heart filled with joy? Please keep our young people in your prayers. Their pictures are posted on the bulletin board by the Children’s Faith Formation Office. They will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Tuesday, November 17th.

Fall Musical Performance OLP’s kindergarten, first and second grade students recently performed the musical “Bugz,” under the direction of Mrs. Amanda Palacios. Characters were dressed as a multitude of bugs, donning adorable antennas, wings, and multiple eyes and legs! 156 children performed singing, dancing, and speaking parts. The talented students were willing to stand in front of a crowd of nearly 600 guests to sing a solo or recite a speaking part; and even with the lights off for a Firefly song, the students were stars. It was surely a performance to be buzzing about for a long time!

Grupo de oración Todos los jueves a las 6:30pm se reúne el grupo Renacer en Cristo en el Salón Etue. Invitados a tener

un momento de intimidad con Cristo, a escuchar su palabra y recibir la presencia del Espíritu Santo.

Infancia Misionera Los invitamos a que traigan a sus niños a que participen de la Infancia Misionera y aprendan más sobre su fe. Todos los lunes de 6:30 a 7:30PM en el salón Etue.

Sistema de la Nueva Evangelizacion Quieres formar parte de estos pequenas comunidades en casa llamar a Pedro Chavez 816-565-3335.

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas: Hoy, el Evangelio nos presenta a Cristo como Maestro, y nos habla del desprendimiento que hemos de vivir. Un desprendimiento, en primer lugar, del honor o reconoci-miento propios, que a veces vamos buscando: «Guardaos de (…) ser saludados en las plazas, ocupar los primeros asientos en las sinagogas y los primeros puestos en los banquetes» (cf. Mc 12,38-39). En este sentido, Jesús nos previene del mal ejemplo de los escribas. Desprendimiento, en segundo lugar, de las cosas materiales. Jesucristo alaba a la viuda pobre, a la vez que lamenta la falsedad de otros: «Todos han echado de lo que les sobraba, ésta [la viuda], en cambio, ha echado de lo que necesitaba» (Mc 12,44). Quien no vive el desprendimiento de los bienes tem-porales vive lleno del propio yo, y no puede amar. En tal estado del alma no hay “espacio” para los demás: ni com-pasión, ni misericordia, ni atención para con el prójimo. Los santos nos dan ejemplo. He aquí un hecho de la vida de san Pío X, cuando todavía era obispo de Mantua. Un comerciante escribió calumnias contra el obispo. Mu-chos amigos suyos le aconsejaron denunciar judicialmente al calumniador, pero el futuro Papa les respondió: «Ese pobre hombre necesita más la oración que el castigo». No lo acusó, sino que rezó por él. Pero no todo terminó ahí, sino que —después de un tiempo— al dicho comerciante le fue mal en los negocios, y se declaró en bancarrota. Todos los acreedores se le echaron encima, y se quedó sin nada. Sólo una persona vino en su ayuda: fue el mismo obispo de Mantua quien, anónimamente, hizo enviar un sobre con dinero al comer-ciante, haciéndole saber que aquel dinero venía de la Se-ñora más Misericordiosa, es decir, de la Virgen del Perpe-tuo Socorro. ¿Vivo realmente el desprendimiento de las realidades terrenales? ¿Está mi corazón vacío de cosas? ¿Puede mi corazón ver las necesidades de los demás? «El programa del cristiano —el programa de Jesús— es un “corazón que ve”» (Benedicto XVI). La decisión de aquella mujer era admirable, heroica: dio todo lo que tenía para vivir.

En este gesto, Dios y los demás pasaban delante de ella y de sus propias necesidades. Ella permanecía total-mente en las manos de la Providencia. Jesús valoró el ol-vido de sí misma, y el deseo de glorificar a Dios y de so-correr a los pobres, como el donativo más importante de todos los que se habían hecho —quizá ostentosamente— en el mismo lugar. La opción fundamental y salvífica tiene lugar en el núcleo de la propia conciencia, cuando decidimos abrirnos a Dios y vivir a disposición del prójimo; el valor de la elección no viene dado por la cualidad o cantidad de la obra hecha, sino por la pureza de la intención y la genero-sidad del amor. En Cristo Padre Andres
