REFLECTIONS / STEWARDSHIP PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 13, 2016

Financialupdateswerenotavailableatpresstime.Lookfortheminnextweek’sbulletin.Thankyou

Brothers and Sisters, It is good to be with you once again. We are coming close to the end of our liturgical year and as we do, the focus of our scriptures turn towards the end-times. In to-day’s gospel Jesus is asked when will the end of the world arrive. Next Sunday on the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, we end our year-long Sunday-by-Sunday hearing of Luke’s Gospel. Throughout the year Luke has called us to examine our lives to determine whether or not we are living as true disciples.

Today’s gospel challenges us to get involved in the world, working for the common good, justice and peace. Jesus urges his followers not to be passive, complacent or apathetic, but to be willing to take a stand to promote God’s kingdom, regardless of cost. To illustrate the words of Je-sus in today’s gospel when he says “You will be hated by all because of my name” we have the story of six Jesuit priests working at the Jesuit University of Central America in San Salvador who were shot and killed on November 16, 1989 outside their home.

Their small house was already full of bullet holes from government death squads coming past the house and shooting at them. One of those who died, the president of the university, was a great Jesuit theologian and philosopher named Ignacio Ellacuria. He once said, “The purpose of the Jesuit University in El Salvador is to promote the reign of God.” He felt it was vital to stand up against evil and oppose violence, so he said, “We’re against hunger, poverty, the death squads, but it seems like everyone is mad at us and everyone wants to kill us.”

Our own lives in this world will not last forever, but while on earth, we have a duty to be faithful wit-nesses to the message of peace and love given by Jesus. Today Jesus cautions that this will not make us popular. There is an imperative for us Christians to challenge structures of injustice and violence and to be a people of hope and love. Our readings today remind us how short and precious life is. They call us to reflect upon our lives, our mistakes, sins and bleak times, and they urge us to look ahead to see where we are headed and ask ourselves: What do we need to do to get ready for Christ?

When we began today I mentioned that next Sunday we would be ending our current liturgical year and hearing the last of our Sunday-by-Sunday readings from Luke’s Gospel. Luke is perhaps my favorite gospel writer. In this past year of reading this gospel we began with shepherds receiving the good news directly from heaven and we end with a thief being welcomed by Jesus into paradise. Only in Luke’s gospel do we hear this story of forgiveness and salvation. It is a story that should give us all hope.

Also on Sunday November 20th at the 5:15 pm Mass we will close our Holy Door of Mercy as the Year of Mercy ends. If you can, come as the liturgy will be very special. Lastly I will be away from you for about 4 weeks on a mission trip with a number of companions. We ask you to keep us in prayer as we will you.

Yours in Discipleship,

Faithful

RESEPECTLIFEMINISTRYRespectLife—FromConceptiontoNaturalDeath! Archbishop Jose Gomez recently stated, "California legalized the practice of assisted suicide earlier this year. In the months that followed, abus-es have already been seen, including a terminally ill woman being denied insurance coverage for a doctor-recommended chemotherapy treatment, but being told that her insurance would cover drugs for suicide. “We must con-tinue to oppose assisted suicide as an unjust and dangerous public policy.” Archbishop Gomez said. “It gives ‘end of life options’ to those who already have the privilege of good health care. But for the poor, it will make suicide by pre-scription the ‘recommended’ or only option. In fact, this year’s California budget includes $2.3 million to subsidize giving lethal drugs to the poor through the Medi-Cal sys-tem.” Archbishop Gomez concluded his re lections by emphasiz-ing the importance of prayer, encouraging the faithful to “ask our Blessed Mother Mary, the Health of the Sick, to help us build a new culture of conscience, compassion and care.” -EWTN News Nov 2, 2016CHOOSELIFE-YOURMOMDID!

JUBILEEYEAROFMERCYNovember 13, 2016—Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time As this JubileeYearofMercy comes to an end, Jesus’ irst disciples ask what every age seems to wonder about the end of the world: “Teacher, when will this happen? What sign will there be?” (Luke 21:7). But instead of what we’d like to know, Jesus tells us what we need to know. Don’t be terri ied by natural disas-ters, human violence, personal sufferings. Because God’s mercy abounds, all is grace. “It will lead to your giving testimo-ny” (21:13). So Malachi promises “the sun of justice with its healing rays” (Malachi 3:20a); and Jesus describes how we should welcome the end: “Stand erect and raise your heads, because your redemption is at hand” (Gospel Acclamation, Luke 21:28). Rather than worrying about ourselves and the future’s perils, both Jesus’ gospel and Pope Francis’ JubileeYearof

Mercy bid us go forth to spend our lives proclaiming God’s promise of boundless mercy, but also translating God’s mercy into living deeds of unfailing compassion and enduring comfort. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Moments of Mercy for Reflection:Moments of Mercy for Reflection: Death is a difficult topic to discuss for many people, but it is something we face on a regular basis. The Church celebrates the life and memory of those who have passed from this world and reminds us of God's merciful love. There are many examples of this: at the be-ginning of November, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of All Saints and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls); there are vigils for the deceased, funeral liturgies, rites of committal and final commendation, and prayers for the deceased and those who are mourning. All of these prayers and services help us acknowledge our grief, celebrate the life of the one who has passed away, and find solace in the loving compassion of God.

1. Throughout this month, we should commend in prayer the bodies and souls of those who have died and who may still be in need of God's mercy in purgatory (CCC, 1020-1060). Sometimes it helps to write out a list or mention specific names of those who have died. Add some of these prayers and scripture readings to your daily prayer time. 2. In addition to praying for them, we can help those who are grieving in a tangible way. Be open to listening to someone who is grieving. You could volunteer with a bereavement ministry at your parish if it has one (this usually involves helping organize funeral liturgies and/or a small reception or luncheon afterward for the family). In these small acts of mercy, we show others that the love of God is still present in their lives and their communities even though they are grieving. -USCCB

REFLEXION/PASTORAL SOCIAL PÁGINA 8 13 DE NOVIEMBRE, 2016

Momentos de Misericordia para Reflexionar:Momentos de Misericordia para Reflexionar: La muerte es un tema difícil de discutir para muchas personas, pero es algo que enfrentamos regularmente. La Iglesia celebra la vida y la memoria de los que han dejado este mundo y nos recuerda el amor misericordioso de Dios. Hay muchos ejemplos de esto: a principios de noviembre, la Iglesia celebra la Solemnidad de Todos los Santos y la Conmemoración de Todos los Fieles Difuntos; hay vigilias por los difuntos, liturgias funerarias, rituales de sepelio y última recomendación, y oraciones por los difuntos y los que están de luto. Todas estas oraciones y servicios nos ayudan a reconocer nuestro dolor, a celebrar la vida de la persona que ha fallecido, y encontrar consuelo en la compasión amorosa de Dios. 1. A lo largo de este mes, debemos recomendar en oración los cuerpos y almas de los que han muerto y que todavía

pueden necesitar la misericordia de Dios en el purgatorio (CIC, nos. 1020-1060). A veces es útil escribir una lista o mencionar nombres específicos de los que han muerto. Agregue algunas de estas oraciones y lecturas bíblicas a su momento de oración diaria.

2. Además de orar por ellos, podemos ayudar a los que están de duelo de una manera tangible. Sea abierto a escu-

char a alguien que está de duelo. Podría ofrecerse de voluntario en un ministerio de duelo en su parroquia si esta tiene uno (que por lo general consiste en ayudar a organizar liturgias funerarias y/o después una pequeña recep-ción o almuerzo para la familia). En estos pequeños actos de misericordia mostramos a los demás que el amor de Dios sigue presente en sus vidas y sus comunidades aun cuando están de duelo.

AÑOJUBILARDELAMISERICORDIA 13denoviembrede2016—TrigésimoTercerDomingodelTiempoOrdinario Al ir concluyendo este AñoJubilardelaMisericordia, los primeros discıpulos de Jesus preguntan lo que en cada epoca parece preguntarse acerca del in del mundo: “Maestro, ¿cuando va a ser eso?” (Lucas 21:7). Pero en lugar de lo que nos gustarıa saber, Jesus nos dice lo que necesitamos conocer. No se preocupen por desastres naturales, la violencia de las personas, el sufri-miento humano. Debido a la abundante misericordia de Dios, todo es gracia. “Esto les servira para dar testimonio de mı” (21:13). El profeta Malaquıas promete que “brillara el sol de justicia, que les traera la salvacion en sus rayos” (Malaquıas 3:20a) y, Jesus describe como debemos recibir el in “Levantense, alcen la cabeza; se acerca su liberacion” (21:28). En lugar de estarnos preocupando por nosotros mismos y los riesgos del futuro, tanto el Evangelio de Jesus como el AñoJubilardelaMisericordia convocado por el Papa Francisco nos invitan a avanzar pasando nuestra vida proclamando la promesa de la abundante misericordia de Dios e interpretandola en obras vivas de compasion inagotable y consolacion renovada. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.
