THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
NOVEMBER 16, 2014
DEAR PARISHIONERS:
A PRAYER to
“Stay awake.” Special occasions call for special
wakefulness. We anticipate, we watch, we try to glimpse the
first signs of the holiday, birthday, or first day of vacation.
These are important to us, and we don’t want to miss them.
“Stay alert,” Paul says to us. “Prepare for the Master’s
return,” Jesus says to us. At the end of the Church year,
everything is about watchfulness. We reflect on the end
times, when Christ will return in glory to judge the living and
the dead and draw all creation to himself.
What happens in the end?
We show God what we’ve done with his many gifts.
We behave as children of light and refuse to fall asleep (a
metaphor for turning away from God) so we’ll be found
waiting when Christ comes again. We keep the faith,
knowing our hope is in the Lord.
OUR LADY of CONSOLATION
MARY IMMACULATE,
our Mother and Consolation,
with confidence I take refuge
in your most loving Heart.
You shall be the dearest object
of my love and veneration.
I shall always have recourse to you
who are the dispenser of the treasures of
heaven,
that I may have peace in my sorrows,
light in my doubts,
protection in my dangers,
and help in all my needs.
When we were children, the temptation to fall asleep
was great; we didn’t always make it to the first minutes of
celebration.
Be therefore my refuge, strength, and
consolation,
O Mary the Consoler.
As adults in faith, the stakes are much higher. If we fall
asleep here, we may miss the party altogether.
Let’s encourage one another while we still have time.
Mary Katharine Deeley

-SUNDAY SOCIAL : take time to meet your fellow
parishioners and visitors to the Cathedral. Coffee, tea and

At the hour of my death,
graciously receive the last sighs of my heart
and obtain for me a place in your heavenly
home,
where all hearts will praise with one accord
the adorable Heart of Jesus
as well as your most lovable Heart forever.
Our tender Mother,
Comforter of the afflicted,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

STEW ARDSHIP REFLECTION
In today’s Gospel, Jesus delivers the parable of the talents;
using the exam ple of m oney rather than abilities or skills.
It’s a story about investm ents, risks and returns. Stewards
understand that God has given them an abundance of
spiritual gifts. They know God doesn’t want them to sim ply
receive these blessings and bury them in fear, but to
m ultiply them ; to use these gifts to serve Him and others;
to spread Christ’s Good News; to go and m ake disciples of
others. Good stewards invest what God has given them in
the service of others and are prepared to render an
account when the Lord returns. Reflect this week on how
you are returning your own God-given gifts back to G od
with increase.

League: The CW L of Holy Rosary would

- Non-perishable food item s

Un Rey frente al cual brillará la verdad de los corazones
La m anifestación de Cristo en su gloria no hará otra cosa que
sacar a plena luz la verdad de los corazones. Las m ejores
intenciones, las m ás herm osas declaraciones de im proviso
pueden volverse inútiles. La verdad de los corazones será la
que se traduzca en actos concretos.
Construyendo
Nos acercam os al final del Año Litúrgico y cuando estam os por
cerrar una etapa tendem os a revisar el desem peño de nuestra
labor. La sem ana pasada leí la siguiente reflexión y pensé que
es buen m om ento para com partirla con ustedes.
Erase una vez tres albañiles colocando ladrillos. A cada uno le
fue preguntado que era lo que estaban haciendo. El prim ero
contestó en tono un tanto burlesco, " Estoy colocando ladrillos
". El segundo contestó, " Estoy haciendo un m uro ". Pero el
tercero contestó " Estoy construyendo una catedral ".
Tu actitud es una de las cosas m ás im portantes para lograr
éxito en tus em presas. Sentir entusiasm o y buen ánim o en lo
que haces se reflejará en tu labor. Es bueno vislum brar el
objetivo final de tu trabajo pues ello te dará m otivación para
proseguir e inspirará soluciones en m om entos de reto.
