Spiritual Notes:As we enter the final weeks of the church year, our readings and prayers turn to thoughts of Jesus’ second coming. In the Gospel Jesus uses Old Testament imagery for the “Day of the Lord.” He predicts the sun will be darkened…. the moon will not give its light….stars will be falling from the sky. These events will be followed by Jesus’ return, when He will appear “with great power and glory.” As the one who comes to judge, “then he will send out the angels and gather his elect.” In light of this, Jesus calls us to “Be watchful! Be alert!” The Book of Daniel is an example of apocalyptic literature. It is dated to the middle of the second century BC when Israel was under the dominion of the Syrians. In this era, the people looked to the future when God would rescue them. Written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the book contains the oldest biblical text professing belief in “everlasting life,” this term is not found in earlier books of the Bible. The text of our reading encourages us to live so as to have our names “written in the book” when the Day of the Lord finally comes. The Author of Hebrews contrasts the offering of the priests of Israel, who offer “frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins,” with that of Christ, who “offered one sacrifice for sins.” “By on offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.” Quoting the prophet Jeremiah, our author says that as a result of this sacrifice, God will remember our sins no more. Since Christ’s sacrifice achieves this and brings us forgiveness, “there is no longer offering for sin.” For reflection: Do I reflect on the belief that Christ will come again? What times of oppression exist in our world? How can I help liberate people from them in this upcoming Jubilee of Mercy?

"We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on

material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone." ~SAINT FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI

Monday, November 12 ~ Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr ~ Veterans Day (Observed) ~

Holy Gospel: Luke 17:1-6 Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but

woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his

neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard!

If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one

day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.” And the Apostles said to

the Lord, “Increase our faith.” The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would

say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

Meditation: While Jesus warns against the sin of bad example and scandal, he also demonstrates the

power of faith for overcoming temptation and obstacles. We often encounter challenges and difficulties in

life which seem beyond our power or capacity to handle. What appears impossible to human power is

possible to those who believe in God's power. Faith is a gift freely given by God to help us know God

personally, to understand his truth, and to live in the power of his love. God expects more from us than

we can do by ourselves. Faith in God is the key for removing obstacles and difficulties which keep us from

doing his will. We are his servants, and he is ever ready to work through us and in us for his glory. For

faith to be effective it must be linked with trust and obedience — an active submission to God and a

willingness to do whatever he commands. Do you trust in the grace and strength which God freely gives to

help us resist temptation and overcome obstacles in doing his will?

Prayer: Stir up in your Church, we pray, O Lord, the Spirit that filled Saint Josaphat as he laid down his

life for the sheep, so that through his intercession we, too, may be strengthened by the same Spirit and

not be afraid to lay down our life for others. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns

with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

An additional prayer on Veterans Day: We ask for blessings on all those who have served their

country in the armed forces. We ask for healing for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and

soul, in conflicts around the globe. We pray especially for the young men and women, in the thousands,

who are coming home from Iraq with injured bodies and traumatized spirits. Bring solace to them, O Lord;

may we pray for them when they cannot pray. We ask for an end to wars and the dawning of a new era of

peace, as a way to honor all the veterans of past wars. Bless all the soldiers who served in non-combative

posts; may their calling to service continue in their lives in many positive ways. Give us all the creative

vision to see a world which, grown weary with fighting, Moves to affirming the life of every human being

and so moves beyond war. Hear our prayer, O Prince of Peace, hear our prayer. Amen.

Contemplation: So what is the driving force in your life? Jesus speaks of two forces at work in our lives

— the power of temptation to sin and cause harm and the power of faith to overcome obstacles and

difficulties that stand in the way of loving God and our neighbor. The Greek word for temptation

(scandalon) is exactly the same as the English word “scandal.” The original meaning of scandal is a trap or

a stumbling block which causes one to trip and fall. The scriptures warn us about the snare or enticement

to go astray and to do what is evil. Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and from the

snares of evildoers! (Psalm 141:9) Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a

person there is no cause for stumbling (1 John 2:10). The Jews held that it was an unforgivable sin to

teach another to sin. If we teach another to sin, he or she in turn may teach still another, until a train of

sin is set in motion with no foreseeable end. Jesus warns his disciples of the terrible responsibility that

they must set no stumbling block in the way of another, that is, not give offense or bad example that

might lead another to sin. The young in faith are especially vulnerable to the bad example of those who

should be passing on the faith.

Tuesday, November 13 ~ Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin

Holy Gospel: Luke 17:7-10 Jesus said to the Apostles: “Who among you would say to your servant who

has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here immediately and take your place

at table’? Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait

on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished’? Is he grateful to that servant

because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been

commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.’”

Meditation: How can we love others selflessly and unconditionally? God himself is love (ref. 1 John 4:16)

and he fills our hearts with the boundless love that gives whatever is good for the sake of another

(Romans 5:5). If we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us (ref. 1 John 4:12).

God honors the faithful servant who loves and serves others generously. He is ever ready to work through

and in us for his glory. We must remember, however, that God can never be indebted to us. We have no

claim on him. His love compels us to give him our best! And when we have done our best, we have simply

done our duty. We can never outmatch God in doing good and showing love. God loves without measure.

Does the love of God compel you to give your best?

Prayer: God our Father, who called Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini from Italy to serve the immigrants of

America, by her example, teach us to have concern for the stranger, the sick, and all those in need, and

by her prayers help us to see Christ in all the men and women we meet. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: Are you ready to give the Lord your best, regardless of what it might cost you? Perhaps

we are like the laborer in Jesus' parable who expected special favor and reward for going the extra mile?

How unfair for the master to compel him to give more than what was expected! Don't we love to assert

our rights, with expressions of “I will give only what is required and no more!” But who can satisfy the

claims of love? Jesus used this parable of the dutiful servant to explain that we can never put God in our

debt or make the claim that God owes us something. We must regard ourselves as God's servants, just as

Jesus came “not to be served, but to serve” (Matthew 20:28). We must remember that service of God and

of neighbor is both a voluntary or “free act” in addition to being a sacred duty. One can volunteer for

public service or be compelled to do service for one's country. Likewise, God expects us to give him the

worship and praise which is his due. And he gladly accepts the free-will offering of our lives to him and to

his service. What makes our offering pleasing to God is the love we express in the gift of self-giving. True

love is sacrificial, generous, and selfless.

Wednesday, November 14 ~ Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

Holy Gospel: Luke 17:11-19 As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria

and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and

raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show

yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been

healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was

a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none

but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has

saved you.”

Meditation: The word “mercy” literally means “sorrowful at heart.” But mercy is something more than

compassion, or heartfelt sorrow at another's misfortune. Compassion empathizes with the sufferer. But

mercy goes further; it removes suffering. A merciful person shares in another's misfortune and suffering

as if it were his own. And he or she will do everything in their power to dispel that misery. Mercy is also

connected with justice. Saint Thomas Aquinas once said that mercy “does not destroy justice, but is a

certain kind of fulfillment of justice...Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution; (and) justice

without mercy is cruelty.” Pardon without repentance negates justice. So what is the significance of these

ten lepers asking for mercy? They know they are in need of healing, not just physical, but spiritual healing

as well. They approach Jesus with contrition and faith because they believe that he can release the burden

of guilt and suffering and make restoration of body and soul possible. Their request for mercy is both a

plea for pardon and release from suffering. Jesus gives mercy to all who ask with faith and contrition.

Prayer: Almighty and merciful God, graciously keep from us all adversity, so that, unhindered in mind

and body alike, we may pursue in freedom of heart the things that are yours. Through our Lord Jesus

Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Contemplation: Why did only one leper out of ten – a Samaritan – return to show thanks and gratitude?

Gratefulness is related to grace – gratitude is the homage of the heart which responds with graciousness

in expressing an act of thanksgiving. The Samaritan approached Jesus reverently and gave praise to God.

If we do not recognize and appreciate the mercy shown to us we become ungrateful. Ingratitude is

forgetfulness or a poor return for kindness received. Ingratitude easily leads to lack of charity and

intolerance towards others, as well as to other sins, such as discontent, dissatisfaction, complaining,

grumbling, pride and presumption. How often have we been ungrateful to our parents, pastors, teachers,

and neighbors? Do you express gratitude to God for his mercy towards you and do you show mercy to

your neighbor? When is the last time you thanked God for all that he has given you?

Thursday, November 15 ~ Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Albert the Great, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Holy Gospel: Luke 17:20-25 Asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said

in reply, “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it

is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.” Then he said to his disciples, “The

days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. There

will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is.’ Do not go off, do not run in

pursuit. For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of

Man be in his day. But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.”

Meditation: Jesus identified himself with the “Day of the Lord.” “Son of man” was understood as a

Messianic title for the one who would come not only to establish God's kingdom but who would come as

Judge of the living as well as the dead. Jesus points to his second coming when he will return to complete

the work of restoration and final judgment. While we do not know the time of his return, we will not

mistake it when it happens. It will be apparent to all, both believers and non-believers as well. When the

Pharisees asked Jesus what sign would indicate the “Day of the Lord,” Jesus replied that only one sign

would point to that day and that sign was Jesus himself. Jesus surprised the Jews of his time by

announcing that God's kingdom was already present among them in his very person — the Son of God

sent from the Father to redeem the world from sin and destruction.

Prayer: O God, who made the Bishop Saint Albert great by his joining of human wisdom to divine faith,

grant, we pray, that we may so adhere to the truths he taught, that through progress in learning we may

come to a deeper knowledge and love of you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and

reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: Jesus warned the Pharisees that the “Son of man” (a title from the prophet Daniel for

the Messiah) would come in like manner, quite suddenly and unexpectedly, on the clouds of heaven to

bring God's judgment on the “Day of the Lord.” No special sign will be needed to announce his

appearance. Nor will his presence and power be veiled or hidden, but all will recognize him as clearly as

the lightning in the sky. In Jesus we see the power and the glory of God's kingdom. His power overthrew

the powers of darkness and sin. Jesus knew that the only way to victory was through the cross. On that

cross he defeated death and canceled the debt of sin for us. The victory of his cross opens the way for us

to become citizens of God's kingdom. Do you seek the coming of God's kingdom with joyful hope?

Friday, November 16 ~ Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Margaret of Scotland; Saint Gertrude, Virgin

Holy Gospel: Luke 17:26-37 Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in

the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day

that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Similarly, as it was in the days of

Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire

and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down

to get them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left behind. Remember the wife of

Lot. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. I tell you, on that night

there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. And there will be two women

grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.” They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He

said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”

Meditation: What does Jesus mean when he says that one person will be taken and another left? God

judges each person individually on how they have responded to his grace and invitation to live as citizens

of his kingdom. We cannot pass off personal responsibility to someone else, such as family, spouse, or

friends. No one can discharge his or her duty by proxy or association. No playing the blame game or point

fingers. The good news is that God gives grace and help to all who seek him with faith. The Lord Jesus

gives us his Holy Spirit so that we may have the wisdom, help, and strength we need to turn away from

sin to his way of love and holiness. The Lord's warning of judgment causes dismay for those who are

unprepared, but it brings joyful hope to those who eagerly wait for his return in glory. God's judgment is

good news for those who are ready to meet him. Their reward is God himself, the source of all truth,

beauty, goodness, love and everlasting life. The people in Noah's time ignored the Lord's warning of

judgment. They missed the boat, literally! So whose boat are you taking — the world's boat to fleeting

success and happiness, or God's boat to heaven and eternal bliss with him? Those whose hope is firmly

anchored in heaven will not be disappointed when God's judgment comes.

Prayer (Saint Margaret of Scotland): O God, who made Saint Margaret of Scotland wonderful in her

outstanding charity towards the poor, grant that through her intercession and example we may reflect

among all humanity the image of your divine goodness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who

lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer (Saint Gertrude): O God, who prepared a delightful dwelling for yourself in the heart of the

Virgin Saint Gertrude, graciously bring light, through her intercession, to the darkness of our hearts, that

we may joyfully experience you present and at work within us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: Jesus quotes a familiar proverb to his audience: “Where the body is, there the eagles (or

vultures) will be gathered together.” Eagles, like vultures, are attracted to dead or decaying flesh. The

Book of Job describes the eagle spying out its prey from afar (ref. Job 39:29). What's the point of this

analogy? It's inevitable that a thing will happen when the necessary conditions are fulfilled. The return of

the Lord is certain, but the time is unknown – despite supermarket tabloid predictions. The Lord's

judgment comes swiftly and often unexpectedly. Jesus warns his listeners to not be caught off guard when

that day arrives. It will surely come in God's good time! The question is, are you ready – ready right now,

this very minute – for the second coming of Jesus Christ? If not, there is no time like the present.

The month of November is the Month of All Souls – a time to pray for

for the souls of those who have died, especially the souls in Purgatory. Just as we hope that one day people will pray for us after we have died,

so, too, should we pray for those who have gone before us.

Intenciones de oración del Santo PadreNoviembre 2018

Universal: Al servicio de la paz

Para que el lenguaje del corazón y del diálogo prevalezca siempre sobre el lenguaje de las armas.

Notas EspiritualesAl entrar en la última semana del año litúrgico, las lecturas y oraciones se dirigen a los pensamientos de Jesús de la segunda venida. En el Evangelio, Jesús utiliza imágenes del Antiguo Testamento para el “Día del Señor.” Él predice, “el sol se oscurecerá, ... la luna no dará su resplandor, ... estrellas caerán del cielo”. Estos eventos serán seguidos por el regreso de Jesús, cuando Él aparecerá “con gran poder y gloria.” Como el que viene a juzgar, “entonces enviará a los ángeles y reunirá a sus elegidos.” A la luz de esto, Jesús nos llama “Estén atento! Estén alerta!”

El libro de Daniel es un ejemplo de la literatura apocalíptica. Está fechada a mediados del segundo siglo antes de Cristo, cuando Israel estaba bajo el dominio de los Sirios. En esta época, la gente miraba hacia el futuro cuando Dios los rescato. Escrito en hebreo y arameo, el libro contiene el texto bíblico la creencia más antigua profesaste en la “vida eterna” Este término no se encuentra en el libro anterior de la Biblia. El texto de nuestra lectura nos anima a vivir para tener nuestros nombres “escrito en el libro” cuando el Día del Señor finalmente llegue.

El autor de Hebreos contrasta la ofrenda de los sacerdotes de Israel, que ofrecen “frecuentemente esos mismos sacrificios que nunca pueden quitar los pecados”, con el de Cristo, que “ofreció un solo sacrificio por los pecados”. “Por una sola ofrenda hizo perfectos para siempre a los santificados.” Indicando al profeta Jeremías, nuestro autor dice que como resultado de este sacrificio, Dios se acordará de nuestros pecados. Desde el sacrificio de Cristo logra esto y nos trae el perdón, “ya no hay ofrenda por el pecado.”

Para reflexionar: ¿Debo reflexionar sobre la creencia de que Cristo vendrá otra vez? ¿Qué tipos de opresión existen en nuestro mundo? ¿Cómo puedo ayudar a liberar a la gente de ellos en este próximo jubileo de la Misericordia?

Clase de Bautismo: La próxima clase será en el Centro Familiar San José al 330 364 6661 o a los Ministerios Hispanos al 330 432 0811.

Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Todos somos bienvenidos a venerar en la Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Podemos encender una vela que permanece prendida por tres días, con una donación de $ 3.00. (2 velas por $6.00, etc.). Por favor usar sólo las velas de la Capilla.
