Good News Reflection 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time November 12, 2017

Wisdom 6:12-16 Ps 63:2-8

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Matthew 25:1-13

Trusting an illogical God

This Sunday's Gospel reading shows us what it means to be truly foolish. We believe

in Christ -- good! We pray -- good! We put time into our faith growth and we value

opportunities for more faith formation -- very wise! And we say that we trust God --

wonderful!

But what happens when God doesn't answer our prayers fast enough? What if we need

Christ's loving embrace or his protection from evil and yet we're suffering with no end in sight? Where is Jesus

then?

Usually, God's timing is not ours. We think we have the right idea about how soon God should intervene when

we ask for his help. Right now is a good time for it, right? Of course! But perhaps not from God's perspective.

(Why do we want to leave God in charge anyway, if he doesn't see things our way, huh?)

When we despair over unanswered prayer, the reality behind it is that we're emotionally unprepared for any

timing that's different from what we think it should be. The foolish bridesmaids thought the groom would ar-

rive before their lamps burned out. They thought they understood the situation. Do we?

Furthermore, if God's plans are illogical -- if they don't make sense to us -- we distrust them. And then we get

ourselves into the mess of trying to handle things apart from God.

We cannot trust our logic. We cannot trust our perception or our understanding of the situations we're in. The

sooner we decide to enjoy the absurdity of being a Christian, the sooner we will find out that God's ways are

awesomely much, much better than anything we can imagine!

Questions for Personal Reflection: What have you resisted doing because it doesn't make sense? What can you do, where can you turn, to whom

can you go for help in discerning whether or not it's God's plan for you?

Questions for Community Faith Sharing: How do you know when an illogical plan is really what God wants you to do? What's happened in your life

that has taught you to trust the Holy Spirit's surprises? Share a lesson you learned when you weren't ready for

God's plan because you didn't believe it. © 2017 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Impreso con derechos.

32do. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Noviembre 12, 2017

Sabiduría 6, 12-16 Salmo 63 (62), 2-8

1 Tesalonicenses 4, 13-18 Mateo 25, 1-13

Confiar en un Dios ilógico

La lectura del Evangelio de este domingo nos muestra lo que significa ser verdaderamente tonto. Creemos en

Cristo -- ¡bien! Oramos -- ¡bien! Dedicamos tiempo a nuestro crecimiento de la fe y valoramos las oportunida-

des de más formación en la fe, ¡muy sabios! Y decimos que confiamos en Dios, ¡maravilloso!

Pero, ¿qué sucede cuando Dios no responde nuestras oraciones con la suficiente rapidez? ¿Y si necesitamos el

abrazo amoroso de Cristo o su protección del mal y sin embargo estamos sufriendo sin ver el final de nuestro

sufrimiento? ¿Dónde está Jesús entonces?

Prayer Corner

Please keep all those who are in the military, or are ill or suffering in your prayers.

For those who are ill or homebound: For Andrei Muñoz R. and for all those struggling with cancer and other illnesses

or upcoming surgeries

We pray for peace throughout our entire world. We remember our family members and friends who are serving in the

military: Michael Pennington, Mike Andre, Alec Ogg, Aaron Nguyen

If you would like to add the name of someone who is serving in the military, please call the office.

For the repose of the souls of all the faithful departed: Larry Stothoff

Por lo general, el tiempo de Dios no es el nuestro. Creemos que sabemos cuán pronto debería intervenir Dios

cuando le pedimos su ayuda. Ahora mismo es un buen momento, ¿verdad? ¡Por supuesto! Pero tal vez no des-

de la perspectiva de Dios. (¿Por qué queremos dejar a Dios a cargo de todos modos, si no ve las cosas a nues-

tra manera, eh?)

Cuando nos desesperamos por la oración sin respuesta, la realidad detrás es que no estamos emocionalmente

preparados para el momento que Dios decida que sea diferente de lo que pensamos que debería ser. Las torpes

damas de honor creían que el novio llegaría antes de que sus lámparas se apagaran. Pensaron que entendían la

situación. ¿Nosotros sí?

Más aún, si los planes de Dios son ilógicos - si no tienen sentido para nosotros - desconfiamos de ellos. Y lue-

go nos metemos en líos al tratar de manejar las cosas sin Dios.

No podemos confiar en nuestra lógica. No podemos confiar en nuestra percepción o nuestra comprensión de

las situaciones en las que estamos. Cuanto antes decidamos disfrutar del absurdo de ser cristiano, más pronto

descubriremos que los caminos de Dios son increíblemente mucho, mucho mejores que cualquier cosa que

podamos imaginar.

Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal:

¿A qué te has resistido porque no tiene sentido? ¿Qué puedes hacer, a dónde puedes dirigirte, a quién puedes

pedir ayuda para discernir si es o no el plan de Dios para ti?

Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad: ¿Cómo sabes cuándo un plan ilógico es realmente lo que Dios quiere que hagas? ¿Qué ha sucedido en tu vida

que te ha enseñado a confiar en las sorpresas del Espíritu Santo? Comparte una lección que aprendiste cuando

no estabas listo para el plan de Dios porque no lo creíste. © 2017 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Impreso con derechos.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Saint Albert the Great, Bishop and doctor – Nov 15

“I adore You (precious Blood) enclosed in the veins of Jesus, preserved in His humanity like the manna in

the golden urn, the memorial of the eternal redemption which He accomplished during the days of His earthly

life. I adore You, Blood of the new, eternal Testament, flowing from the veins of Jesus in Gethsemane, from

the flesh torn by scourges in the Praetorium, from His pierced hands and feet and from His opened side on

Golgotha. I adore You in the sacraments, in the Eucharist, where I know You are substantially pre-

sent…” (Saint Albert the Great) Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24 hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.

Pray One! Knit One!

Albany Knights of Columbus Council 1577 is sponsoring a family prayer program called the Holy Family Pray-

er. The State Deputy of Oregon received two large Icons from the Supreme Knight, Carl Anderson, for this

program. Oregon actually has two of these Icons; one moving down the eastern side of Oregon and the other

moving down the western side. Our Lady of Perpetual Help (St Mary’s) has been honored to start the icon on

the west side. The intent of the program is to get families to pray together, focusing on the love and support

of the Holy Family.

The large icon will be presented to the parish on the weekend of November 11/12. It will move to another

parish after the 11 am mass.

There is a small statue and a smaller photo icon that will remain at our parish. They will be blessed by Father

Edwin at the 11 am mass and rotated among the parish families on a two week basis.

If you are interested in having one of the icons, you can contact Stuart Conser or Chris James. If you have a

preference between the statue or photo, let them know. The icons will be exchanged at the end of mass on

the appropriate weekend.

Healing Mass November 17th at 7pm.

Everyone is welcome!

Misa de Sanación: El 17 de Noviembre a las 7pm.

Todos bienvenidos!

NOTES FROM THE LITURGIST…

Confession… Counseling… and Spiritual Direction…

Confession, Counseling and Spiritual Direction (SD) are the main keys and great tools for ourselves especially in the aspect of human maturity and personal healing. We can say that they are similar, yet distinct, different, yet overlapping.

These are essential to our lives because they make us healthier and mature body, mind, and soul.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Confession). This sacrament is a celebration of Christ’s forgiving love by two sinners (the priest and the penitent) AND reconciliation of the penitent to God and to the community. I consider that the confession room is a hospital of mercy. Many times, when I go to the confession room to get Fr. Edwin to prepare for mass, I jokingly tell him, “Doc, no more patients in line.” Yes, it is true because we human beings are emotionally and spiritually sick when we have sinned. That is why we go to the hospital of mercy to be cured and when we come out we are pure and spiritually healed because of the power of the sacrament. Many people asked for confession especially when they are experiencing or facing painful and shameful problems in their lives because of the blessing that the sacrament may offer and the confidentiality it can provide. To have a very meaningful and effective confession we must prepare ourselves and be ready to de-sire to change our lives. Only an ordained bishop or priest can minister this sacrament.

Counseling, this session is very important when a person is troubled by emotional or relational issues and wants to find ways to overcome this issue. It is a series of meetings and activities that can help the client to be more effective in the daily life of a normal person. A counselor, a lay person or a priest can administer this session.

Spiritual Direction, we go to a spiritual director when we are looking for a deeper relationship with God or to clarify our religious experiences or to what God wants from us. A spiritual director can be a spiritu-al lay person and of course a priest or a bishop.

There is a commonality to counseling and spiritual direction but a different form.

In regards to these processes in our human growth, sometimes we forget the distinction of each.

When we avail of these human processes – pray about it… discern well so that whoever will adminis-ter to us will help us more to become a better person.

Whatever process we need, may we take our journey seriously. We are growing – not only growing older but also growing up emotionally, physically and of course growing up closer to God. For this growth – the Church needs to provide all these three types of help. The priests are here to help you, just let them know what process is the best to help you in your longings---either Confession, Counseling or a Spiritual Di-rection.

NOTAS DEL LITURGISTA ...

Confesión ... Consejería ... y Dirección espiritual …

La Confesión, la Consejería y la Dirección Espiritual (SD) son las principales claves y las mejores herra-mientas para nosotros, especialmente en el aspecto de la madurez humana y la sanación personal. Podemos decir que son similares, pero distintos, diferentes, pero superpuestos.

Estos son esenciales para nuestras vidas porque nos hacen más saludables y maduros en cuerpo, mente y alma. El Sacramento de la Reconciliación (también conocido como la Confesión). Este sacramento es una celebración del amor perdonador de Cristo por parte de dos pecadores (el sacerdote y el penitente) Y la reconciliación del penitente con Dios y con la comunidad. Considero que la sala de confesión es un hospital de mi-sericordia. Muchas veces, cuando voy al cuarto de confesión para ir por el padre Edwin para que se prepare para la misa, le digo en broma: "Doctor, ya no hay más pacientes en la fila". Sí, es cierto porque los seres humanos estamos emocional y espiritualmente enfermos cuando hemos pecado. Es por eso que vamos al hospital de la misericordia para curarnos y cuando salimos somos puros y espiritualmente sanados por el poder del sacramento. Muchas personas preguntan y quieren la confesión, especialmente cuando

están experimentando o enfrentan problemas dolorosos y vergonzosos en sus vidas debido a la bendición que puede ofrecer el sacramento y la confidencialidad que puede brindar. Para tener una buena confesión significativa y efectiva debemos prepararnos y estar listos para desear cambiar nuestras vidas. Solo un Obispo o un Sacerdote ordenado puede ministrar este sacramento. Consejería, esta sesión es muy importante cuando una persona tiene problemas emocionales o rela-cionales y quieren encontrar la forma de superar este problema. Es una serie de reuniones y actividades que pueden ayudar al paciente o feligrés a ser más eficaz en la vida diaria de una persona normal. Un consejero, un laico o un sacerdote pueden administrar esta sesión. Dirección Espiritual, acudimos a un director espiritual cuando buscamos una relación más profunda con Dios o para aclarar nuestras experiencias religiosas o lo que Dios quiere de nosotros. Un director espiri-tual puede ser un laico espiritual y por supuesto, un Sacerdote o un Obispo. Hay un punto en común para el asesoramiento y la dirección espiritual, pero una forma diferente. Con respecto a estos procesos en nuestro crecimiento humano, a veces olvidamos la distinción de ca-da uno. Cuando hagamos uso de estos procesos humanos, ore al respecto ... discierne bien para que quien-quiera que nos administre nos ayude más a convertirnos en una mejor persona. Cualquiera que sea el proceso que necesitamos, podemos tomar nuestro trayecto en serio. Estamos creciendo, no solo envejeciendo sino también creciendo emocionalmente, físicamente y, por supuesto, cre-ciendo más cerca de Dios. Para este crecimiento: la Iglesia necesita proporcionar estos tres tipos de ayuda. Los sacerdotes están aquí para ayudarlo, solo hágales saber qué proceso es el mejor para ayudarle en sus an-helos, ya sea Confesión, Consejería o una Dirección Espiritual.
