Reflections on the Word
Dedica on of the Lateran Basilica
Because it falls on a Sunday, the
regular Sunday readings are replaced with the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in
Rome. This feast celebrates not
only the Cathedral of the Diocese
of Rome, but the role the pope
has always had as the bishop of
Rome. John's Gospel is the story
of Jesus driving out the moneychangers in the temple. “Take
these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”
Monday is the Memorial of Saint
Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor
of the Church. Tuesday is the
Memorial of Saint Martin of
Tours, Bishop. Wednesday is the
Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr and Thursday the
Memorial of Saint Frances Xavier
Cabrini, Virgin.
The first readings this week are
from the pastoral letters to Titus,
Philemon, and the Second and
Third Letter to John.
Continuing Luke's Gospel, we
hear Jesus talk about scandal
and about forgiveness. He calls
us to “have faith the size of a
mustard seed” in order to do extraordinary things in his name.
Jesus tells us to be obedient to
what God calls us to do and
simply say, “we have done what
we were obliged to do.” We learn
a lesson about gratitude when
NEWS FOR THE PEWS
Jesus heals ten lepers and only
one, “foreigner” returns to give
thanks. Jesus tells the confrontational Pharisees that the Kingdom of God's coming can't be
“seen” and it won't be announced. “For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.” “But
first [the Son of Man] must suffer greatly and be rejected by
this generation.” All we can do is
to be faithful: “Whoever seeks to
preserve his life will lose it, but
whoever loses it will save it.” Finally, Jesus tells the parable
“about the necessity for [his disciples] to pray always without
becoming weary.” God will give
justice to those who call out to
him with faith.
33rd Sunday of the Year
The Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time brings us the familiar
and powerful parable from Matthew's Gospel about the servants
who are each given sums of
money to invest. We are all
called upon to use the gifts we
have received as gifts, and to
return them, fully developed,
having made the best use of
them.
Monday is the Memorial of Saint
Elizabeth of Hungary. Friday is
the Memorial of the Presentation
of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saturday is the Memorial of Saint
Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr.
The Next 2nd Collection is Youth Sunday 23rd November. Your gift will
enable YMT to offer more opportunities to the young people of our diocese. On Youth Sunday the Children of St Joseph’s will lead the singing.
Meeting of the Ministers of the Eucharist (St Cuthbert’s) on Tuesday
11th Nov at 6.30pm. There will be Exposition that night from 6pm &
Mass at 7pm. Exposition and Mass is open for everyone to attend.
St Bede’s School Mission 6th –13th November We will be offering prayers in the parish during Mission week. The Family Night on Thursday
13th November 7pm is open to everyone. The Mission Team would love
to think we could fill the hall as a witness to the young people that we
care about them and will be a visible sign of our support.
Irish Dancing Classes @ St Mary Magdalene’s Parish Hall starting Friday
7th November 5-6.30pm. Open to all children aged 5-15.
Attention Red Box Holders Further to a recent meeting it was decided
to change the method of collecting the Missionary money. Therefore can
all Parishioners who have a red box please empty their own box, total the
contents, place the money in a bag along with your name & total in a
piece of paper and leave the contents in the day chapel between Dec 6th14th. Please take your Missionary Magazine and Calendar.
There is a Pastoral Letter from the Bishop at all Masses on 15th/16th
November outlining a review entitled “Moving together in hope”. It all begins with an invitation to join him in prayer at the Cathedral on Monday
2ndDec. 10.30-12 Noon followed by Mass at 12.05pm Please see the poster for full details and alternative time & Venue. Why not make a day of it
and go Christmas shopping after Mass. Everyone is welcome!
Please remember in your prayers the sick
Joe Cassidy, Jenny Witten, Mary Patching,
Nicholas James, Derick Scott, Lorraine Watson,
Pat Johnson, Charles McCabe, Harry Dunn,
Craig Thompson & for those who are sick but
prefer to remain anonymous.
We pray for Doug Main, Janet Moorhead &

in Peace, Amen.
