November 16, 2014 Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Get Ready
Take time this week to reflect and pray over today’s
Readings: Ezekiel 47:1-2,8-9,12
Psalm 46
1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17
Gospel John 2:13-22
The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among
his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the
belief of the entire early Christian community that the
return of Christ was imminent. Therefore, to devote time
or attention to anything else was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today
we may wonder, when we hear these readings about the
coming end-times, if we should take them to heart. What
should we do when we hear that the day of the Lord will
come upon us “like a thief at night”? (1 Thessalonians
5:2) Does this mean we are to stop our long-range
goalsetting, get rid of our yearly calendars and planners,
or stop putting money in the college education fund? Of
course not. What it does mean is that we need to change
our lives, living like children of the light and illuminating
the world around us with the light of the gospel. Then, on
that day, when the details of our daily living become
unimportant, we will be ready to find our peace and
security in Christ Jesus.

From The Pastor's Desk
I know of a woman who took her savings and went back to school in order to start a new career in a field that
she desired to work. She had already worked many years as a manager in a fast food restaurant but knew that
she was capable of doing more. After completing her degree in the field of her studies, she began looking for
any openings in this new career. After only two weeks of searching, she decided that it wasn’t worth the effort
to search for another job. Even though she had invested all of this time and money in beginning a new career
she gave up. As a result, she has become a very bitter individual. Unfortunately, I can no longer speak to her
since she has decided that isn’t worth her time to hear encouraging words from old friends.
Jesus has something better for each one of us. This is what His mission is all about: to allow us to see the talents that each of us has received are meant to make this world a better place. He builds up what is broken in
each of us and seeks those who are lost to let them know that they too have talents given to them for the purpose of building up the Kingdom of God here within our time.
Those who decide that their talents are not worth using, or “burying their talents “ are not only going to waste
this opportunity to help but will have to suffer extreme consequences when Christ returns at the end of time.
In One more week we have the feast of Christ the King. Please, take the time this week to discover what talents you have yet to share with those who could benefit not only within the Church, but also in the community
at large.
Conozco una Señora que saco sus ahorros y regreso a la escuela para estudiar una carrera que ella siempre
había deseado. Ella ya había trabajado muchos años como gerente de un restaurant de comida rápida pero
sabia que tenia la capacidad de hacer algo mas. Después que terminar sus estudios y recibir su titulo,
comenzó a buscar empleo en su nueva carrera. Después de solo dos semanas de búsqueda, decidió que no
valía la pena el esfuerzo de buscar otro trabajo. Aun cuando había invertido todo su tiempo y dinero para
iniciar una nueva carrera, se dio por vencida. Como resultado, se convirtió en una persona amargada.
Desafortunadamente, Yo ya no puedo hablar con ella, desde que ella misma decidió que no valía la pena
escuchar palabras de apoyo de viejos amigos.
Jesús tiene algo bueno para cada uno de nosotros. Esta es la razón de SU misión. Permitirnos ver los talentos
que cada uno de nosotros ha recibido son para que hagamos con ellos un mundo mejor. EL repara lo que esta
roto en cada uno de nosotros y buscar a los que se han perdido y dejarles saber que ellos tienen talentos que
se les han dado con el propósito de edificar el Reino de Dios aquí, en nuestro tiempo.
Los que han decidido que sus talentos no valen la pena o “ compran sus talentos” no solo están desperdiciando la oportunidad de ayudar, pero también sufrirán las consecuencias cuando Cristo regrese al fin de los
tiempos.
En una semana mas tendremos la celebración de Cristo Rey. Por favor, tómense un tiempo esta semana para
descubrir que talentos tienen y como los pueden compartir con los que pueden beneficiarse con ellos no solo
dentro de nuestra parroquia, sino también la comunidad en general.

of the parents and Godparents. Pre-Baptism classes are held the first
Thursday of every month in English at the Parish Center at 7:30 p.m..
Attendance at a Pre-Baptism class in another parish is acceptable, but a

month at 2:30 p.m. If the parents are living in or registered in another
parish, they need to bring permission from that parish to the meeting, in
order to baptize here.
Godparent Requirements
One Godparent, male or female, is sufficient. The Godparent’s
must be practicing Catholics (attending weekly Mass and frequent
reception of the sacraments). The Godparent’s must be confirmed and be
