St. Augustine, St. Benedict the Moor & St. Mary Churches: Pastoral Region One
Nov. 16, 2014
33rdSUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
END OF TIME
To help us to be honest with ourselves in our stocktaking we are reminded today that this world will come to an end
one day. We do not know when or how but that end will come. It
will be followed immediately by the general judgment. Christ will
come in power and glory to judge the whole human race. Each
one will receive the sentence he merited while on earth. The just
will enter with him into eternal glory. The wicked will go to their
place of suffering, sorrow and remorse.
Long before that day comes, every one of us here
present today will already have faced his or her own particular
judgment. It is this judgment which will seal our eternal fate. It is
on this judgment that we should try to concentrate this morning.
It is to help and encourage us to do just this, that the church
brings the thought of the end of the world before our minds. The
end of this world will come for each one of us when we draw our
last breath. How will we stand in God's sight when that moment
comes? An eternity of happiness or grief will depend on our
spiritual state at that moment. The thought of death is a
frightening thought for most people. They would rather put it far
from their minds, but of all the other things that can possibly
happen to them on this earth death is the one and only certainty. It
would be utter folly then to try to ignore it or forget it. It is not the
moment or the circumstances or the fact itself of death that
matters. The vast majority, even of those dying of a slow illness,
do not know that they are on the point of death. What matters is
the judgment which follows death. How will we fare in that?
Each one of us can put the following simple question to
himself this very moment. How would I fare if I were called
before the judgment seat of God today? The best of us would
certainly prefer to be better prepared. There is so much good I
have left undone, so many faults for which I have not atoned
properly, so many uncharitable thoughts about my friends and
neighbors in my mind, so many acts of charity I kept postponing,
so many acts of thanksgiving and praise I have not made to my
loving God.
What of those who have even more serious sins on their
consciences? Over two hundred thousand people will leave this
world between now and midnight. If we were called, and we have
no guarantee that we will not be called today, could we dare to
face our judgment in our present state? "Today if you hear God's
voice harden not your heart" the scripture warns us. Today you
have heard him speak to you. He has reminded you that your end
is coming, that you should put your spiritual accounts in order.
This is an act of God's mercy. He does not need you; it is you
who need him. Your eternal future will depend on whether you
listen to his call today, as tomorrow may be too late. You can put
your accounts straight this very day. Why take a risk with your
own eternal welfare? The Christian who wants to die in the state
of grace, that is, in the friendship of God (and can there be any
real Christian who would not want to?) has but one way of
making sure of this. He is to try to live always in God's
friendship. The man who does this by living his Christian life
daily need not fear death. It may be a sudden death, but it will
never be an unprovided for death.

MOMENT OF JUSTICE
When a parish achieves a grace-filled moment
of justice, we all ask how they did it. On Wednesday,
Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. at St. Francis Church, 6245
Wilmington Pike, Dayton, Ohio, you can see how a
parish brought healing in a difficult situation. We will
watch a video together about the struggle and triumph
of one parish and consider how our faith gently calls
us to a similar response to issues in our communities.
Mary Hallinan of Queen of Apostles will guide us to a
new understanding of a justice that heals us.
CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
The collection for the Catholic Campaign for
Human Development (CCHD) provides funding for
groups that make lasting change and uplift the poor in

us to continue to defend human dignity and aid those
living on the margins of society. Please donate to the
CCHD Collection.
ST. MARY CARING TREE

THANK YOU
On behalf of the Pope Francis, the Mission Office
of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati wishes to thank all who
donated to the Pontifical Mission Society this past World
Mission Sunday. While some of our contributions help
build schools, churches and seminaries, some also support
the 9,000 clinics in Catholic Mission dioceses and number
of them in West Africa where they are fighting the scourge
of the Ebola Virus.
So our fellow Catholics in Africa and Asia are
grateful for your solidarity that allows the joy and hope of
Jesus to become and remain real for millions of God's
children. You are welcome to visit the web site to see how
your gift makes a difference: www.iamamissionary.org.
Also check out our local mission office web site to learn
about our missionaries and missionary possibilities for
yourself: www.catholiccincinnati.org/missions.
OUR LATINO INITIATIVE IS GROWING!
The Archdiocese is proud to announce the hire
of Ms. Alyssa Wagner as Assistant Coordinator of Latino Outreach in the Catholic Schools Office, effective
November 1, 2014. Ms. Wagner’s hire marks the expansion of the Latino Initiative for Catholic education,
started three years ago with the addition of Mrs. Mayra
Alza Wilson as Coordinator of Latino Outreach. Both
positions are being funded through outside grants. The
Initiative was later expanded with the hire of Mrs. Dina Beach as Assistant Director for Latino Catechesis.
Mrs. Wilson and Ms. Wagner will be working together
to recruit and support Latino families in Catholic
schools. Ms. Wagner will work exclusively with
schools in Dayton, Springfield, Middletown, and the
Northern Region of the Archdiocese, while Mrs. Wilson will focus on greater Cincinnati and Hamilton.
Please contact them if you would like to better access
the growing Latino population in your school.
Alyssa has worked with the Catholic Hispanic
Ministry Office at St. Mary for the past few years. She
assisted in the office when Sr. Maria Stacy was on
sabbatical in Rome. She is also works with the El
Puente after school program through Wright State
University. We wish her well in her new endeavor!!
