The servants are each one of us. That's the first lesson we should think about. Do we think of ourselves as servants, as dependent on God? In this fallen world, most people tend to think of themselves as the center of the universe. And our contemporary society, so full of technological power and easy pleasures, increases that tendency of our fallen nature. But this parable and many others are very clear: we are not God; we are not the center of the world; we are dependent upon God and our job in this life is to know him, love him, and serve him. Only by doing that will we find the happiness we desire, because doing that is what we were created for. Squirrels were created to be cute and bury nuts. Humans were created to know, love, and serve God. And the parable also tells us how we are supposed to do that. God has given each of us a certain number of "talents." In Greek that word referred to a large sum of money. In the actual meaning of the parable, however, it refers more to what the English word implies - all the abilities and blessings we have received from God. God has given them to us, and we are free either to squander our gifts, burying them in the hole of self-indulgence, fear, laziness, and greed, or to use them as Christ would have us use them, which is the secret to happiness in this life and the life to come. Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta was someone who learned this lesson perfectly. One of the many stories of how she impacted the lives of the poor illustrates beautifully what it means to use our God-given talents well. Once she was staying with a community of sisters working with the Aborigines in Australia. While she was there, she visited an elderly man who lived in total isolation, ignored by everyone; his home was disordered and dirty. She told him, "Please let me clean your house, wash your clothes and make your bed." He answered, "I'm OK like this. Let it be." She said, "You will be still better if you allow me to do it." He finally agreed. So she was able to clean his house and wash his clothes. While she was cleaning, she discovered a beautiful lamp, covered with dust; it looked like it hadn't been used in years. She said to the man, "Don't you light that lamp? Don't you ever use it?" He answered, "No. No one comes to see me. I have no need to light it. Who would I do it for?" Mother Teresa asked, "Would you light it every night if the sisters came?" He replied, "Of course." From that day on, the sisters committed themselves to visiting him every evening. Mother Teresa left Australia; two years passed. She had completely forgotten about that encounter. Then she received a message from him: "Tell my friend that the light she lit in my life continues to shine still." In a sense, our life-mission is to do precisely that: to invest our talents in such a way that we light as many lamps as possible, in as many different ways as possible, bringing the Good News of God's trustworthiness, forgiveness, and love to all the people who are sick and dying with loneliness, selfishness, and regret. My God bless you. Fr. Dan

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Parishioners,

The master in today's parable is Christ. The servants are each one of us. That's the first lesson we should think about. Do we think of ourselves as servants, as dependent on God? In this fallen world, most people tend to think of themselves as the center of the universe. And our contemporary society, so full of technological power and easy pleasures, increases that tendency of our fallen nature. But this parable and many others are very clear: we are not God; we are not the center of the world; we are dependent upon God and our job in this life is to know him, love him, and serve him. Only by doing that will we find the happiness we desire, because doing that is what we were created for. Squirrels were created to be cute and bury nuts. Humans were created to know, love, and serve God. And the parable also tells us how we are supposed to do that. God has given each of us a certain number of "talents." In Greek that word referred to a large sum of money. In the actual meaning of the parable, however, it refers more to what the English word implies - all the abilities and blessings we have received from God. God has given them to us, and we are free either to squander our gifts, burying them in the hole of self-indulgence, fear, laziness, and greed, or to use them as Christ would have us use them, which is the secret to happiness in this life and the life to come. Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta was someone who learned this lesson perfectly.

THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2017 TREINTA TERCER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO DOMINGO 19 DE NOVIEMBRE DEL 2017

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Parroquianos,

El maestro en la parábola de hoy es Cristo. Los sirvientes son cada uno de nosotros. Esa es la primera lección que debemos pensar. ¿pensamos en nosotros como siervos, como dependientes de Dios? En este mundo caído, la mayoría de la gente tiende a pensar en sí mismos como el centro del universo. Y nuestra sociedad contemporánea, tan llena de poder tecnológico y los placeres fáciles, aumenta esa tendencia de nuestra naturaleza caída. Pero esta parábola y muchas otras son muy claras: no somos Dios; no somos el centro del mundo; Somos dependientes de Dios y nuestro trabajo en esta vida es conocerle, amarle, y servirle. Sólo haciendo eso encontraremos la felicidad que deseamos, porque hacer eso es para lo que fuimos creados. Las ardillas fueron creadas para ser lindas y enterrar nueces. Crearon a los seres humanos para saber, para amar, y para servir a Dios. Y la parábola también nos dice cómo se supone que debemos hacer eso. Dios nos ha dado a cada uno un cierto número de "talentos". En griego esa palabra se refería a una gran suma de dinero. En el significado real de la parábola, sin embargo, se refiere más a lo que la palabra inglesa implica-todas las habilidades y bendiciones que hemos recibido de Dios. Dios nos los ha dado, y estamos libres para derrochar nuestros dones, enterrarlos en el hoyo de la auto indulgencia, el miedo, la pereza, y la avaricia, o para usarlas como Cristo nos pediría utilizarlos, que es el secreto de la felicidad en esta vida y la vida por venir. La Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta fue alguien que aprendió esta lección perfectamente. Una de las muchas historias de cómo impactó la vida de los pobres ilustra bellamente lo que significa usar bien nuestros talentos dados por Dios. Una vez se hospedaba con una comunidad de hermanas trabajando con los aborígenes en Australia. Mientras estaba allí, visitó a un anciano que vivía en total aislamiento, ignorado por todos; su casa estaba desordenada y sucia. Ella le dijo, "por favor, déjeme limpiar su casa, lavar su ropa y hacer su cama." Él respondió: "estoy bien así." Déjame. Ella dijo, "usted estará mejor todavía si usted me permite hacerlo." Finalmente aceptó. Así que ella fue capaz de limpiar su casa y lavar su ropa. Mientras ella estaba limpiando, descubrió una hermosa lámpara, cubierta de polvo; parecía que no se había utilizado en años. Le dijo al hombre: "¿no enciendes esa lámpara?" ¿nunca lo usas? Él respondió: "no." Nadie viene a verme. No tengo necesidad de encenderla. ¿por quién lo haría? La madre Teresa preguntó: "¿la encenderías todas las noches si las hermanas vinieran?" Él respondió: "por supuesto." A partir de ese día, las hermanas se comprometieron a visitarlo todas las tardes. La madre Teresa dejó Australia; pasaron dos años. Se había olvidado por completo de ese encuentro. Entonces ella recibió un mensaje de él: "Dile a mi amiga que la luz que ella encendió en mi vida sigue brillando".

En cierto sentido, nuestra misión vital es hacer precisamente eso: invertir nuestros talentos de tal manera que iluminemos tantas lámparas como sea posible, de tantas maneras diferentes como sea posible, trayendo la buena nueva de Dios, confianza, perdón y amor para todas esas personas enfermas que están muriendo solas, en sus egoísmos y amarguras.

Dios te bendiga. Padre de Dan

33º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Para que respondamos al llamado de Dios para nutrir y desarrollar nuestros dones y reintegrarlos con aumento. "Bien hecho, mi buen y fiel servidor. Puesto que has sido

fiel en asuntos pequeños, te daré grandes

responsabilidades. " Mateo 25:21 Dios espera que nutramos y desarrollemos los dones que Él nos ha dado y entonces generosamente devolvamos una porción aumentada. No quiere que desperdiciemos ni acumulemos los dones que Él nos ha dado; Él espera que hagamos crecer nuestros dones, los usemos sabiamente y seamos generosos con ellos. Desafortunadamente, muchos de nosotros no somos generosos en proporción a todo lo que Dios nos ha dado.
