This Weekend’s Scripture First Reading: Wisdom 11:22-12:2 In this reading, we are reminded of the love God feels toward every creature, or else he would not have creat-ed them. God shows mercy on our sins and hopes we will repent and have faith in him.
Second Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:11-2:2 Paul tells the Thessalonians that God will make them worthy of his call, so that they can be glorified in Christ. Paul also tells them he is unsure when Christ will come again, but urges them not to believe people who falsely state that Jesus has returned.
Gospel: Luke 19:1-10 Zacchaeus, the wealthy chief tax collector in Jericho, was very excited when Jesus came to town and asked to stay with him. People were angry that Jesus would go to a sinner's home. Zacchaeus then told Jesus he planned to give half of his belongings to the poor, and repay any person he had cheated. Jesus was delighted since his mission was "to search out and save what was lost."
A Stewardship Thought . . .
“But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, ‘Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I extorted anything from anyone I shall re-
pay it four times over.' " (Luke 19:8)
We are all called to gratefully give back to the Lord in proportion to the blessings we have been given. This means everyone isn’t called to give the same amount, but is called to give equal sacrifice. No amount is too small or insignificant! Open your heart, how is God call-ing you to be more generous with your financial re-sources and possessions?
National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 3-9, 2019, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote voca-tions to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particu-lar vocations.
Sunday, November 3 New Calvary Cemetery Prayers 2:30 PM All are welcome to this annual tradition.
