O– Office
Let us spend some time looking at the Jesus who got so
upset.
First, he was raised in a culture in which temple sacrifices
were a normal way for people to reach for a loving
relationship with God. They were giving up the very best
things they had, as the theory went, to give a gift to their
Lord: the first fruit of the harvest, the best lamb from the
herd.
Second, therefore, when Jesus went up to Jerusalem for the Passover, no doubt he
expected to find people tendering gifts to the transcendent God.
What did he find?
A most noisy market place, loud-mouthing its way into the very temple itself, where it did
not belong. The “bottom line,” money, motivated it, skipping all interaction with God.
Sellers and buyers both were distracted from the real God for whom the temple was built.
The temple scene must have broken Jesus’ heart.
You see, Jesus was passionate, not pasty-faced. His temper was directed at the wrongs
being done. NO, he said. Your SOUL has to be the bottom line, not GREED. Selfindulgence is WRECKING the covenant of love. STOP IT.
Third, Jesus had issued forth from the very heart of the Trinitarian God, where loving is total.
His heart knew that the Father had at last given his own very best gift, his own finest lamb,
to be the sacrifice that the human race would offer. This lamb, Jesus, was to seal the Old
Covenant afresh, open whatever doors had been closed between God’s transcendence
and the grubby, earthy world of flesh.
Maybe now we can see that his anger was a loving claim of a truth. Buying and selling
are fine, but they cannot replace the gifts that come from God, nor the gratitude that
should be our good and tender response.
Let us put God first, not second, not last in our lives. ~ John Foley S. J
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
O God, who from living and chosen stones prepare an eternal dwelling for
your majesty, increase in your church the spirit of grace You have bestowed
so that by new growth your faithful people may build up the heavenly
Jerusalem.
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.

Faith Formation
Heaven is an Eternal Festival!
Due to the fabulous and fun SES festival
there will be no Faith Formation classes
this Sunday, November 9th.
Thinking about all the fun this week at the SES Festival,
makes us reflect about fun in general. God created fun. God
created happiness. Good cheer. Good Will. Joy... and
everything that goes with and should come out of
enjoyment, such as kindness, happiness and goodness.
God wants us to be happy... to which we, His children, say
and sing "thank you" for everything beautiful and the gift
you give us.
Our Blestways children should continue to learn
their prayers, please remember to practice. The due
date for knowing them was last weekend.
The Faithways members please remember to work
with your family members to complete the Family
Tree Project.
Both Faithways and Discipleways will discuss our
Participant Profiles when we return on
November 16th.
Have fun at the festival!
JOIN US! Our choir is praying for more voices. We practice
on Thursday nights from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the church.
As you read this, is there a tug on your heart?
We are also looking for young voices to sing at our 10:30 am
mass on Sunday. Youth singers practice on Thursdays after
school from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the church.

Several of our parishioners have taken advantage of the favorable
IRS guidelines pertaining to the Pension Protection Act (PPA). For
those who are not familiar with the Pension Protection Act, here is a
brief summary:
Have you taken advantage of the favorable IRS regulations (Pension
Protection Act) regarding distributions from your IRA? Many of you
have done so however, many more may not be aware of this
opportunity which will expire in 2014. In an attempt to increase
philanthropic giving, the IRS has extended the deadline in which
distributions from your IRA may be directed to a charitable
organization tax free. Once an individual attains the age of 70 1/2, he
or she is required to begin taking minimum distributions from their
IRA. This distribution is taxed at the individual’s particular tax bracket
(15%, 25%, 28%, etc…) For the remainder of the 2013 tax year, you
may choose to gift your distribution (up to $100,000) directly to your
favorite charity (St. Elizabeth Seton Parish) completely tax free. This
is a great opportunity to make a one-time gift without the federal
government getting their “cut”. Please see your financial advisor or
tax professional to obtain the forms necessary to make your gift.
