2 — Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time · November 16, 2014
From the Administrator, Fr. James Merold
My Dear People,
Lord, your summons echo true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company I’ll go
Where your love and foot-steps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow
In you and you in me.
These words come from the hymn “The Summons.” I can’t sing the text of this hymn without a tear coming to
my eyes. I picture Jesus calling me to follow him, and I ponder how to respond. And then I wonder if I have
made the right response. Is my answer sufficient for what God is asking of me?
In the second reading for today, the Lord gives us a solemn warning regarding our behavior at the end of time.
We are told that the Lord will come like a thief in the night. And will we be prepared when that happens? How
did we use the talents that the Lord has given to each of us?
As we end this liturgical year, we need to focus on how we are daily responding to the Lord. We are hoping that
the Lord will say to us what he says to the servant in today’s Gospel: “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
Next weekend, on the final celebration of the church year, we are directed to turn our attentions to Jesus Christ
as the King and center of our lives. We will be asked to renew our baptismal promises and once again declare
our loyalty to Him. Come next weekend and be prepared once again to give your hearts to Jesus.
Here at St. Bede, faithful followers of the Lord have been answering the summons of the Lord since Cardinal
Mundelein founded the parish on May 24, 1928. Of course the faith was being lived and practiced in this area
since 1840. We are the heirs of that devotions to Roman Catholic belief and tradition. As we continue to
respond to that summons we pledge ourselves to our St. Bede Mission Statement to be a welcoming spiritual
community where sacraments, education and evangelization lead us to Jesus Christ. This weekend, I am
speaking to you about the Annual Fund Drive for our school and how this ministry helps us to answer the
Lord’s Summons to us.
In Christ,
Father Jim Merold

Music for Advent
The Order of Mass is designed to be sung. Here are the responses to the majority of the prayers offered during the
Mass. It was the desire of Blessed Pope Paul VI during Vatican II that when the Mass was translated from Latin into
the vernacular that all people of the church sing a common response. When the Third Edition of the Roman Missal
was introduced, the Conference of Bishops echoed this desire and set a common chant response for churches in
the United States. This is commonly referred to as the Chant Mass. We will learn this setting before Mass and sing
it during Advent.

Families and the Gospel
— Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
As the man in today’s gospel entrusted his servants
with his money, so God has ’entrusted’ our family to us.
Like the good servants we are expected, not to play it
safe, but to selflessly and totally invest ourselves in
each other. — by Bud Ozar

Sidewalk and Step Replacement
is Coming
After much consideration we have decided to replace
the steps on the south side of the front entrance to
the Church. In addition, about 18 feet of sidewalk will
be replaced at the base of those same steps. If you’re
wondering why at this time, we determined that we
had a safety hazard especially as we are headed into
winter’s snow and ice.
A schedule has not as yet been determined but we
are hoping to begin during next week. Once begun,
we have been advised that the area will not be
available for use for at least 2 weeks. For those who
park in the south lot we ask that you use the Wilson
Road sidewalk to get to the north lot and enter the
Church through either the north or main entrance.
Please do not walk into traffic behind the garage
and Rectory.
Thank you for your patience and understanding
during this period.
