TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 12, 2014
DEAR PARISHIONERS:
A THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER
As you know, we celebrate Thanksgiving day in Canada on
Monday, October 13. There is much work to do to get everything
ready for family meals and visiting friends on this holiday. This
often includes buying a turkey, checking out a new recipe for pies,
and finding out who’s allergic to what. This work can be tiring
but it is rewarding knowing that the care involved will please
many people.
Hopefully there’ll be time for each of us around the Thanksgiving
celebrations to appreciate the importance of being thankful. On
one level, it is important to thank people who care for us, assist us
and support us. Speaking words of gratitude to each other and
showing it by our actions deepens and strengthens our
relationships.
On the spiritual level, being grateful and thankful to God is very
important. Psalm 92.1 says “it is good to give thanks to the Lord,
always and for everything.” St. Vincent Depaul often said” the
grateful heart doesn’t want for anything because you cannot be
both grateful and unhappy at the same time.”
On this Thanksgiving weekend, let us rightly give thanks to God
for the blessings He gives us: family, material goods, our Catholic
faith and parish, health, our citizenship, the forgiveness of sins
and other graces from God. The Eucharist is the greatest prayer
of thanksgiving – we give thanks to the Lord for all He has done
for us especially His saving death and resurrection. May we never
stop giving thanks to God and may we resolve to be even more
committed to sharing our blessings with others as good stewards.
Fr. Galvon

STEW ARDSHIP REFLECTION
There are certain Bible verses Christian stewards have
m em orized. One of them is in Saint Paul’s letter to the
Philippians found in today’s second reading— “I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens m e” (4:13). Most
people define them selves either by their problem s or their
possibilities. Fearful people wake up each m orning
ensnared by their problem s. Christian stewards wake up
reflecting on their possibilities with confidence and hope.
Som e stewardship reflection questions for the week: W hat
challenges do you back away from because you doubt that
you are up to them ? W hat would you attem pt tom orrow if
you were sure God would help you?
-Please remember in your prayers: Verna J. W est,
Harvey W illiams, Rodney, Candice, Denise Garcia, Tyrell
& Samantha W illiiams, Donna Hosack, Flor Bracamonte,
Cora Morales, Emma Glua, Rose Vergara, Jocelyn Quino,
Trevor W ong and all parishioners who are sick or
recuperating from illness or surgery.

Conviden al banquete de bodas a todos lo que encuentren
Estam os en presencia de dos parábolas ligadas ente sí: la
prim era es la de los invitados a la com ida de la fiesta de bodas;
la segunda inicia con el sim bolism o del " vestido " para
agregarse a la precedente com o epílogo. el tem a fundam ental
de la prim era narración es sim ple: frente a la salvación ofrecida
por Cristo las reacciones son antitéticas, es decir, de rechazo y
de acogida. Pero sucede un cam bio inesperado de la parábola:
el banquete, una vez preparado, no puede perderse. Los planes
de Dios se cum plen, nunca se suspenden. Pero, continúa
Mateo, en la segunda parte de la parábola, aun entre los
invitados puede encontrarse un falso discípulo que solam ente
Jesús puede desenm ascarar.
La Palabra en tu vida
Hem os sido invitados al banquete de las bodas del Cordero.
Ése es el significado de la Eucaristía dom inical.
Cada vez son m enos los que participan en la Eucaristía
dom inical, pero son m enos aún los que se acercan a com ulgar.
Señor Jesús, ayúdanos a despertar en nosotros el deseo de
recibirte en la Eucaristía.
