The English Prayer Group will resume on Tuesday,

November 20th at its new time of 3:00 p.m. in the Media

Room. Come and join us in prayer, song, and

reflection. Bring a friend!

My dear Parishioners, I invite you to join me in welcoming Farther Noman Fischer, Pastor of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church in Lexington, Kentucky, and special guest, Mr. Dewayne Smithers, Youth Minister and Hip Hop Artist, who will lead our 2018 Revival beginning this Sunday. An added feature of this year’s Revival is a special Middle and High School Student Session in Deacon Hilliard Lee Hall immediately following the 10:00 a.m. Eucharistic Celebration. Fr. Fischer will be our Principal Celebrant and Homilist at our 10:00 o’clock Mass this Sunday and will lead the Revival services on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Both he and Mr. Dewayne Smithers will con-duct the “Young, Blessed and Gifted” program with our youth. How blessed we are to have them with us for these special days. The major theme for this year’s Renewal is “Rooted in Faith, Hope and Love.” The earliest recorded revival was conducted in Northampton, Mas-sachusetts in 1734 by a young Pastor Jonathan Edwards. Over the years, revivals have taken place in various areas of this country and the world. In 1906 an African American Holiness pastor, William J. Seymour, sowed the seeds of the Pentecostal Movement through his preaching to a Los Angeles interracial con-gregation. The worldwide Charismatic Renewal of the 1960’s and 70’s, was rooted in that earlier revival. It was during this time that the Catholic Church became involved. The first Catholic Charis-matic group was formed 1967 at Duquesne University in Pitts-burgh. When it outgrew its gathering space, it accepted our invita-tion to meet at St. Paul of the Cross Monastery where I was rector at the time. It later spread to Notre Dame University and beyond. Revivals continue to take different forms as they attract a wide variety of Christians and seekers. But they all have certain identi-cal characteristics: among them, prayer, the Holy Spirit, the Scrip-tures, repentance, conversion, and the glory of God. Let’s all pray that this week’s revival, “Rooted in Faith, Hope and Love,” will bring forth lasting fruit in our parish and beyond, —Fr. Jerome, C.P.

32º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

El milagro de las Dos Viudas

Esta semana nos encontramos con dos viudas generosas en las

lecturas. Ambas viudas dan de su necesidad como ejemplos de

caridad. La primera viuda, del Libro de los Reyes, tiene un poco de

harina y aceite para ella y su hijo en un momento de sequía.

Cuando el profeta Elías viene y le pide un poco de pan, ella prepa-

ra la última comida para él. Ella y su hijo están al borde de la ina-

nición, pero el Señor recompensa milagrosamente su generosidad,

ya que su aceite y su harina permanecen repuestos durante un

año.

El evangelio nos da otra viuda. Mientras que muchos estaban ha-

ciendo una demostración de poner grandes sumas de dinero en el

tesoro del templo, ella pone el dinero que necesita para vivir en el

tesoro del templo. Jesús la elogia como la mejor donante, ya que

ella dió de su pobreza.

Las viudas eran impotentes en el mundo antiguo. Tenían pocos

derechos legales y dependían de la caridad de otros. Ni siquiera

podían heredar las propiedades de su esposo y muchas veces fue-

ron engañadas por los escribas.

Jesús condena a los escribas por su muestra de falsa piedad. Jesús

dijo: "Tengan cuidado con los escribas que les encanta montar un

espectáculo con largas túnicas, saludos y asientos de honor, pero

devoran las casas de las viudas y lo cubren con largas oraciones".

Jesús sabe que están en condiciones de ayudar pero, en lugar de

eso, las engañan y las sacan de sus propiedades. Este es un peca-

do que clama al cielo.

Por supuesto, la mayoría de nosotros pensamos que no podemos

ser tan generosos como las dos viudas, pero todo lo que necesita-

mos es mostrar un poco de generosidad. No podemos prometer

un milagro de la misma manera que Elías, pero si mostramos un

poco de interés por alguien que lo necesita, Dios puede hacer un

milagro. Dios no puede ser superado en generosidad y es capaz de

multiplicar nuestra generosidad en formas que no nos imaginaría-

mos.

P. Patricio, C.P.

La Colecta para la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD) Noviembre 17-18 necesita su ayuda. CCHD fue fundada para romper el ciclo de pobreza en los Estados Unidos otorgando fondos a organizaciones que ayudan a las personas a ayudarse a sí mismas. Con su tradición de mejoras en la educación, en la vivienda y en el desarrollo económico de las comunidades, CCHD continúa teniendo un impacto positivo en las comunidades en todo el país. Su contribución servirá para defender la dignidad humana y llegar a todos los que viven al margen. Por favor, contribuya a la colecta para CCHD. Gracias. La Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul necesita de su apoyo al proyecto anual de Acción de Gracias. Este proyecto ayuda cerca de 100 enfermos y confinados de nuestra parroquia y a otras personas que tal vez no puedan tener una cena de Acción de Gracias. Los sobres para contribuir se pueden encontrar en la parte posterior de la iglesia. Ninguna canti-dad es demasiado pequeña para esta causa. Además, el próximo fin de semana del 17 y 18 de noviembre de 2018, la Sociedad de San Vicente también colectará ropa usada en buen estado y artefactos pequeños para la casa. Los artículos se enviarán a las tiendas de segunda mano de San Vicente de Paúl para ayudar a la Sociedad a dar una mano a los que lo necesitan en nuestra comunidad. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS! Muchas gracias a todos los que hicieron posible la celebra-ción de nuestro Santo Patrón San Pablo de la Cruz el pasado 20 de octubre (vea página 3).
