33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Forbes Park, Makati

It is the time of the year when we start thinking of what to give our loved ones and friends. Our parish is richly blessed, with most of the parishioners having the pleasant problem of being able to prepare well for the season of gift-giving. Most of us have accumulated token presents which we opened and then tucked away in our bulging closets, hesitating to recycle these since we might give these back to the giver.

The JPIC Ministry – JPIC SCHOlarship Program, in partnership with the SYA, is once again organizing its annual Christmas party for its present JPIC scholars, and also inviting the past scholars so they can update us on their successes due to the training they received as JPIC scholars. We expect about 200-250 scholars.

Most of them though, have never had much in the way of getting gifts since their parents are so preoccupied with making enough to feed their children and be able to send them to school. Given a limited budget, we at JPIC would like to appeal to those kind-hearted people who are willing to share their unused gifts -- clothes, shoes, bags, brushes, toiletries, airline bags, house wares, kitchenware -- anything you can think of that would bring delight and gladness to the scholars’ hearts. What you may consider ordinary, someone else will treasure. What you have an excess of, someone will be so happy to use.

WE NEED RAFFLE / DOOR PRIZES and GAMES PRIZES SO THAT THEY CAN ALSO SHARE THE GIFTS WITH THEIR LOVED ONES, which they have told us that they do.

Remember it is more blessed to give, to share, to make another person happy and it will give you the true meaning of Christmas in your hearts.

Please drop off the gifts at the Parish Office c/o JPIC Socio-Pastoral worker Ms. Jackie. We will be happy to do all the wrapping for you.

The party is scheduled on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2014 and we would appreciate receiving the items at your soonest possible convenience so we have time to wrap the gifts. Thank You!

SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION

By Fr. Efren Jimenez, OFM

Recently a fashion show with lots of flare for entertainment was dubbed as the ‘Naked Truth.” (There’s a lot of nakedness, but what kind of truth, that’s begging the question.)

In one scene, a known Matinee idol was seen dragging a dishevelled woman with a leash around her neck! Instantly, it went viral, receiving deserved flack of great proportion.

The management, I believe, has a lot of responsibility to the moral perception of the viewing public. There is such a thing as quality in human thinking and in this case also includes our perception. This kind of show disrupts and undermine people’s capacity for critical thinking.

What is our modern concept of women? Based from an interesting comparison, an ancient description of a woman’s vocation is described elegantly in this Book of Proverbs. We find in this excerpt ideas very similar to those that are being stressed now. The first is that a woman’s productivity and significance is not simply to be confined to the home, but that she should be adequately treated in whatever work or profession she chooses.

Secondly, a woman is not to be valued merely on a physical level, or in a purely sexual way. Rather, she should be regarded for everything she is, and can be, as a uniquely human and feminine person. There

are still greater number of nations or cultural attitude towards women’s status as secondary (e. g. Islamic thinking on this regard).

The great value of the woman in the home and her productivity there, is not overlooked as is evident from the lines, “She obtains wool and flax and works with loving hands. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her fingers ply the spindle.” Yet… She reaches out her hands to the poor, and extends her arms to the needy. This last line shows her social concern outside the needs of her house. Today a woman steps out of the house beyond her domestic skills. A woman’s commercial significance is also considered but ethical standards must be the point of reference for its full significance. The same is true in the field of politics. Understanding this, then, we have a striking commentary on a woman’s worth as a total person. Her choice of a commitment to her home and family is a most honourable one, but she need not be limited to that. Nor is she mainly judged on her physical appeal. The psalmist dismisses the value of physical attractiveness alone by saying, “Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting.” The far more beautiful aspect of a woman is her inner core of a richly creative feminine personality. She is seen as a working mother, care giver, nourisher and giver of life. The role of women in the bible is unmistakable – disciple, companion, steward, listener and devoted worker, like Martha and Mary, who chose the better part.

We must give each woman freedom and the opportunity to develop all her creative potential. This, as the quote suggests, a woman can rightly display her abilities, so that “her works may praise her.” This should be true not only in the home, but when appropriate, in the centers of commerce, law, politics, the sciences, and travel as well. As we read again, “her value is far beyond pearls.” Who can stand more brilliantly for the full potential of a woman in Christian tradition, than Mary herself, full of grace and truth.

Note: This article is a reflection on the first reading from the Book of Proverbs

Maybe you’ve also heard over the last few days how one year ago, we were struck and stunned by the most devastating typhoon that has hit our country in recent memory. I think it’s safe to say that nobody has forgotten what has happened in Tacloban a year ago. There are many people out there who can completely push all these images of destruction and suffering out of their mind. Do you remember also the response to the disaster? As devastating as the typhoon was, there was an equally powerful response both nationally and internationally. The overflow of aid and response that came to the aid of those in need was overwhelming. It was beautiful to see how each and every person has helped and I’m sure you did your part in that as well.

And yet, it comes as no surprise to us also that one year later the situation continues to persist.

“But that’s not my fault, it’s those in charge! The response is so slow and it’s all caught up in red tape.”

That very well may be true. Somehow, even though there’s been so much help - so much aid - something has still fallen short.

There’s no doubt we are helpful and generous.

It is interesting to note that the patroness of Scotland was not even born there but probably in Hungary. Granddaughter of the Anglo-Saxon King Edmund Ironside and daughter of an English prince – Edward Aetheling and a German princess, Agatha, Margaret was raised at King St. Stephen of Hungary’s court where her father was in exile.

When she was twelve years old the whole family returned to England where they lived and her father died at the court of King Edward, the Confessor. However, after the battle of Hastings in 1066, the family fled for safety to Scotland where they found refuge with King Malcolm III Canmore.

In spite of her leanings toward a religious life, Margaret at 24 married Malcolm in 1070 and became Queen Margaret of Scotland.

She proved to be an ideal mother for their eight children – six sons and two daughters. Not only did her sons become Kings of Scotland but her daughter Matilda became Queen Maud of England when she married King Henry I. Thus uniting the Anglo Saxon line with The Normans.

She softened the rough temper of her husband and influenced him and his court to works of justice and charity. She promoted the arts and improved education.

Margaret is best known for her great personal piety, religious influence and activities. She followed a strict spiritual

life of ascetical practices, fasting, constant prayer and austere self-denial.

Her spiritual practices rubbed off on her husband so that he even began to join in her spiritual devotions even in her midnight devotions during her Lenten seasons.

Margaret uniquely observed not one but two Lents. Besides the common one before Easter she also had her own Lent of 40 days before Christmas. At these times she would rise at midnight to hear matins with the monks.

Margaret was known for her great concern for the poor and needy. Even the poor knew of her nightly vigils as they knew that before returning to bed it was her practice to choose six of them, wash their feet and give them alms.

Margaret was also known for her service to the Church. Not only did she promote the spiritual renewal of the clergy, arranging for the best priests to come to Scotland but she built several churches foremost of which was the Holy Trinity Church at Dunfermline. She won a reputation among the Scots for her piety and charity.

She made the observance of holidays obligatory and even formed a guild composed of virtuous ladies to provide for the Church’s liturgical needs.

It was largely through her great efforts and influence with the king that the Scottish Church was brought into conformity with the Gregorian reform of England and Europe.

As she was against the abuses prevalent at the time such as simony and usury, she supported synods to reform them. She also regulated degrees of relationship in marriage and rules for the Lenten fast and Easter Communion.

While Margaret was at her deathbed in 1093, she heard the alarming news that her husband and son Edward were killed when their castle was attacked by enemies. Four days later Margaret of Scotland died at the young age of forty-seven. She was buried in the Holy Trinity Church of Dunfermline, which she herself had founded. She was canonized in 1250.

We are saddened to hear the demise of legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, who spent half a century putting high society in haute couture. The world gives much significance to fashion. Something else, however, is more important than fashion. And this is what supports the dress, of what is inside: the intimacy of the person. What is more valuable than the dress is the inner beauty – the compassion, truth, modesty, humility, … all the good qualities that are within us. It makes us radiate an aura of goodness, of holiness. And this is what makes us beautiful.

People underestimate their inner beauty maybe because of the strong influence of media and fashion designers who place so much importance on the exterior. Outer beauty may attract, but inner beauty captivates. As Audrey Hepburn states, “…true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul…” When we live in the state of grace (when we are not in mortal sin and in good relationship with God), we actually possess an aura that far exceeds any fashion statement.

November...from page 2

But I believe we are called to something more - we are called to go beyond helpfulness towards compassion.

A Call to Compassion

What is compassion? Words like love, or generosity or compassion are so often used interchangeably. But we want to be able to understand the subtle differences between these. We’re much more comfortable with the word love. It’s easy to say love your neighbour - after all, it’s in the gospel. We are undoubtedly called by Jesus to love one another. But Jesus also speaks about compassion. And most of the time, when Jesus speaks about compassion it is in the context of suffering. In the parable of the good samaritan, Jesus invites his followers to compassion, instead of just love. Because when we speak of compassion, it is always in the context of human suffering. That is the meaning of the word itself. “Com-Passio” literally means to suffer with. In this fallen world, with so much suffering, and destruction, when we look at what those victims of Yolanda are going through, they need more that help and aid, they need compassion. They need people who are willing to suffer with them.

Pope Francis is well aware of this reality. That is the reason he is coming to visit the Philippines. He explicitly said that when he comes to visit in January, one of his desires is to be close to the people who suffered. He wants to give us an example of compassion, and hopefully we can learn from his example.

—

This Advent, let’s take the time to learn to be more compassionate towards others. There are two recollections scheduled for this Advent, one on December 6 and another on December 13, each from 10am-12nn. The first one will be given by Fr. Max Aranilla on “God as a God of Mercy and Compassion” and the second one will be given by Mr. Leo Ocampo on “Becoming People of Mercy and Compassion.” We invite you to attend one or both of these recollections in order to prepare during this season of Advent.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Why is prayer sometimes a struggle?The spiritual masters of all times have described growth in faith and in love for God as a spiritual, life-and-death combat. The battlefield is man’s interior life. The Christian’s weapon is prayer. We can allow ourselves to be defeated by our selfishness and lose ourselves over worthless things or we can win God. Often someone who wants to pray must first conquer his lack of will power. Even the Desert Fathers were acquainted with spiritual sluggishness (“acedia”). Reluctance to seek God is a big problem in the spiritual life. The spirit of the times sees no point in praying, and our full calendars leave no room for it. Then there is the battle against the tempter, who will try anything to keep a person from devoting himself to God. If God did not want us to find our way to him in prayer, we would not win the battle.

Is prayer not just a sort of conversation with yourself?The distinctive feature about prayer is precisely the fact that one goes from Me to You, from self-centeredness to radical openness. Someone who is really praying can experience the fact that God speaks and that often he does not speak as we expect and would like. Those who are experienced in prayer report that a person very often comes out of a prayer session different from the way he went in. Sometimes expectations are met: you are sad and find consolation; you lack confidence and receive new strength. It can also happen, though, that you would like to forget pressures but are made even more uneasy; that you would like to be left in peace and instead receive an assignment. A real encounter with God - the kind that occurs again and again in prayer can shatter our preconceptions about both God and prayer.

What happens if you find that prayer does not help?Prayer does not seek superficial success but rather the will of God and intimacy with him. God’s apparent silence is itself an invitation to take a step farther - in total devotion, boundless faith, endless expectation. Anyone who prays must allow God the complete freedom to speak whenever he wants, to grant whatever he wants, and to give himself however he wants. Often we say: I have prayed, but it did not help at all. Maybe we are not praying intensely enough. The saintly Cure of Ars once asked a brother priest who was complaining about his lack of success, “You have prayed, you have sighed ... but have you fasted, too? Have you kept vigil?” It could also be that we are asking God for the wrong things. St. Teresa of Avila once said, “Do not pray for lighter burdens; pray for a stronger back.”

What happens if you do not feel anything when you pray or even experience reluctance to pray?Distractions during prayer, the feeling of interior emptiness and dryness, indeed, even an aversion to prayer are experienced by everyone who prays. Then to persevere faithfully is itself already a prayer. Even St. Therese of Lisieux for a long time could not sense God’s love at all. Shortly before her death she was visited one night by her sister Celine. She noticed that Therese’s hands were clasped together. “What are you doing? You should try to sleep,” Celine said. “I cannot. I am suffering too much. But I am praying,” Therese replied. “And what do you say to Jesus?” “I do not say anything to him. I love him.”

Christ the King processionSunday, November 23, is the Solemnity of Christ the King. We invite everyone especially our parish ministry members to join the procession at 3:45PM from Colegio de San Agustin chapel along Palm Avenue, Dasmarinas Village, to the church. Liturgy starts at 3:30PM.

November 17Elizabeth of Hungary, religiousSt. Elizabeth, born in 1207, was the daughter of Andrew, king of Hungary. While still a young girl she was married to Louis the Landgrave of Thuringia, and gave birth to three children. She devoted herself to prayer and meditation. After her husband’s death, she embraced a life of poverty, erecting a hospital in which she herself served the sick. She died at Marburg in 1231.

November 18Dedication of the churches of Peter and Paul, apostlesAnniversaries of dedication were celebrated in the Vatican Basilica of St. Paul on the Ostian Way as early as the twelfth century. The two basilicas had been completed under Pope Sylvester and Siricius in the fourth century. More recently this commemoration was extended to the entire Latin rite. Just as the Maternity of the Virgin Mother of God is celebrated on the anniversary of the Basilica of St. Mary Major (August 5), so on this day we honor the two princes of Christ’s apostles.

November 21Presentation of MaryThis feast commemorates the dedication of the church of St. Mary, which was built in Jerusalem near the site of the temple. With Christians of the East, the Latin church also recalls on this day the tradition according to which Mary as a small child was presented to the Lord by her parents in the temple.

November 22Cecilia, virgin and martyrIn the fifth century a basilica dedicated to St. Cecilia was erected at Rome. From that time devotion to her spread, largely owing to accounts of her sufferings. She is praised as the most perfect model of the Christian woman because of her virginity and the martyrdom, which she suffered for love of Christ.

November 23Clement I, pope and martyrSt. Clement, the third pope to rule the Roman Church after St. Peter, reigned toward the end of the first century. He wrote the famous epistle to the Corinthians to strengthen and encourage peace and unity among them.

On the same day, November 23Columban, abbottSt. Columban was born in Ireland before the middle of the sixth century. He was well trained in the classics and Theology. After entering the monastic life, he went to France and founded many monasteries, which he ruled with strict discipline. After being forced into exile, he went to Italy and founded the monastery of Bobbio. He died in 615.
