NOVEMBER 12, 2017 THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom

came and those who were ready went into the

wedding feast with him. Then the door was

locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and

said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he

said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know

you.’

Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the

day nor the hour (Matt 25:10-13).

A VIEW FROM THE PEW

Daughters of St. Paul Seek Financial Assistance for Building Maintenance

We are the Daughters of St. Paul from the Pauline Books & Media Center in downtown Honolulu and are in

our 43rd year serving the church through the media of evangelization bringing the word of God to many and

to your parish. We are self-supporting sisters not only in our mission but also in the maintenance of our build-

ing. Our book center, which is open to all people, is a center of light and inspiration.

Our AC system is breaking down and at this time we are in dire need to replace the Chiller system & compo-

nents, which is located on the roof just to get the cooling going. We have received the proposal for the work

and it will cost approximately $120,000.00. We are asking you for a donation to help us with this cost; any

support you give is tax deductible.

Please know that each and everyone of the sisters will be praying for you and your loved ones and we realize all

the good you do in your everyday lives. We pray God will bless you in all you do and in

whatever you can do to help us. Thank you in advance!

Please make donation to : Daughters of St. Paul, AC Fund, 1143 Bishop St., Honolulu, HI 96813, or

Reflection on Today’s Gospel

Matthew 25:1-13

Attention!

A consistent theme of these weeks leading to

Advent is akin to the motto of the U.S. Coast

Guard: Semper paratus: “Always ready.” For

what? The military remains ready for threats or

disasters like a tornado or flood, but Jesus’ call to

be ready always is neither a threat nor a predic-

tion of catastrophe. It is His expectation that we

be aware of the presence of the sacred as we move

through even the most ordinary day. Mary Oliver

suggests the same in her poem “The Summer

Day”: “I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do

know how to pay attention.” Being prepared for

the coming of Christ means keeping eyes and ears,

hearts and minds open. The sacred, the Christ, is

all around us.

Catholic Campaign for Human Development-CCHD Collection

Please respond to Pope Francis’ call for the 1st World Day of the Poor the weekend of November 19.

Please be generous in the collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development-CCHD. In

the US, one in six people lives in poverty. With this collection you support programs that address the

causes of poverty and help vulnerable people across our country struggling to overcome persistent

poverty. In addition, 25 % of funds collected remains in our diocese to fund local projects addressing

poverty. Two of the projects funded by CCHD in Hawaii involved parishioners working with the

Pu’a Foundation which focuses on families affected by incarceration with special emphasis on Native

Hawaiian women and girls, and Hope Services Hawaii which works to end family homelessness on

the Big Island by connecting persons to transitional and affordable housing, food, mentoring, and

job opportunities.

Please prayerfully consider contributing to the CCHD collection!

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

King of the Universe, formerly referred to as

"Christ the King," was established by Pope

Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a

way of life which leaves God out of man's

thinking and living and organizes his life as if

God did not exist. The feast is intended to

proclaim in a striking and effective manner

Christ's royalty over individuals, families, so-

ciety, governments, and nations.

Celebrating the Holy Eucharist on this day in

a very special way establishes the titles for

Christ's royalty over men: 1) Christ is God,

the Creator of the universe and hence wields a

supreme power over all things; "All things

were created by Him"; 2) Christ is our Re-

deemer, He purchased us by His precious

Blood, and made us His property and posses-

sion; 3) Christ is Head of the Church,

"holding in all things the primacy"; 4) God

bestowed upon Christ the nations of the world

as His special possession and dominion.

Please save the date and join us in our solemn

celebration!

An Invitation

You are all invited to a grand banquet hosted

by our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Uni-

verse! Come and fix your eyes on what it will

be like when you see Jesus sitting “upon His

glorious throne” with all the nations gathered

around Him (Matthew 25:31). Fix your gaze

on the new heavens and earth that Jesus will

establish.

After the celebration of the Holy Eucharist,

we will honor our King and Savior by way of

Adoration. Many MSOS ministries have al-

ready RSVP’ed to spend time with our Lord,

but there’s no need to RSVP, just come as

you are, and share in God’s “unconditional

love” for each and everyone of us.

“Jesus, we can’t wait to see you!”

"Make a Difference Day"

Make a Difference Day is the largest national day of helping others and making a difference in the

community and the world. Held annually on the fourth Saturday of October, Make a Difference Day

is sponsored by USA WEEKEND and its 800 carrier newspapers. Each year, the incoming ELC Par-

ent Teacher Guild (PTG) organizes a special school service project to involve parents in volunteer

service. In the past, parents have organized school projects that included recycling, aquaponic gar-

dening, and refurbishing the faculty lounge. This year the PTG and parent volunteers embarked on

an ambitious yard beautification project to plant grass in the common area outside the ELC play-

ground and the parking garage. With lack of a working sprinkler system and no grass, the weeds

took over and when it rained, the area became a muddy mess!

PTG Board and Parent Volunteers Beautify Mary, Star of the Sea Common Area

Mahalo to the PTG Board and Parent Volunteers!

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE READINGS:

FIRST READING: Wisdom 6:12-16 - The first reading is taken from

the Book of Wisdom 6:12-16 and cites watchfulness as the key to a

faithful religion and understanding of wisdom.

SECOND READING: Thessalonians 4:13-18 - In Paul’s preaching,

he left them with the impression that the second coming of Christ was

imminent. Some died before the parousia and their concern is what has

happened to them. Paul states firmly and categorically that what matters

is that they interpret these events because of their faith and hope in the

Lord.

GOSPEL: Matthew 25:1-13 - In this parable, the general lesson is

clear enough. Our Lord described an incident that happened or could

have happened at a wedding festival in order to bring home to his

listeners the need for being ever vigilant and ready in his service if they

wish to avoid the calamity of being excluded from the heavenly and

eternal nuptials on the last day.
