LIVE THE LITURGY -

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

Are we looking for Christ to be our earthly king or our eter-

nal one? We often go back and forth with God on this ques-

tion. What we find in the content of our prayer usually re-

veals the answer. Because life can be difficult, we may de-

sire that God cushion our earthly experience a bit, make it

more tolerable, remove the crosses, and do the miraculous.

Preserving our earthly lives can take too much precedence

and be of too much concern. Christ the eternal king offers a

different promise and hope. The eternal king offers us a

way through suffering and hardship to the greater glory to

be revealed when our journey is completed in heaven. The

eternal king is not the king of earthly comfort but the king

who advocates for the poor, vulnerable, lost, broken, mar-

ginalized, and hurting. We are asked to become like the

eternal king, Jesus Christ, both in this life and in the life to

come. Our “Sisters in Stitches” Ministry meets every Monday afternoon around 2:00. New members or drop in guests are always welcome. Bring your needles (crochet or knitting) and come and join this fun ministry.

Men’s Enrichment Group Tuesday Evenings,

Starting Tuesday, November 12

We will meet weekly on Tuesday from 7 to 8pm finish-

ing in the Spring. Throughout the time we meet, we

plan to cover two books this year. “The First and Sec-

ond Letter of St Paul to the Corinthians,” by Scott

Hah. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more

about Paul through some easy reading and discussion.

“The Day is Now Far Spent,” by Cardinal Sarah. In

this book he discusses the spiritual, moral and political

crisis in the contemporary world.

To participate, you need to purchase the books avail-

able at Amazon or Barnes & Noble for about $13 each,

All are welcome to attend. Feel free to show up when

your schedule allows. If you have questions or want to

sign up and need more information on the books, con-

tact Rich Zuccaro at 518-792-6799 or e-mail Rich at

zuccarorj@roadrunner.com

Did you know the Rosary is recited before daily Mass 8am every

Monday, Wednesday & Friday?

Join us on Thanksgiving morning, 9am, for Mass.

We have so much to be grateful for!

Ministry Sign up sheets in the sacristan room.

After Mass on Thanksgiving, we are asking that on your

way out of church, please bring your missals to the narthex

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER

UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

“The rulers sneered … the soldiers jeered … one of the

criminals hanging there reviled Jesus.” Is this the King of

the Jews, the King of the Universe? If it is so, perhaps his

kingdom is not at all what we would expect! In his letter to

the laity, St. John Paul II spoke about how Christians share

in the kingly mission of Christ. First, “they exercise their

kingship as Christians, above all in the spiritual combat in

which they seek to overcome in themselves the kingdom of

sin.” In other words, before we give any thought to trans-

forming society, we must first allow God to transform us.

Through daily prayer, regular self-examination, and fre-

quent confession, we can recognize our faults more readily

and choose love instead!

Second, St. John Paul II writes that the laity “make[s] a gift

of themselves so as to serve, in justice and in charity, Jesus

who is himself present in all his brothers and sisters, above

all in the very least.” Christ’s kingship, and our own par-

ticipation in it, is requires us to look beyond the privileged

of society. It goes beyond networking and struggles of

power. It goes with Jesus to the Cross!

Still, the kingship of Christ ought to effect society. “The lay

faithful are called to restore to creation all its original value

… ordering creation to the authentic well-being of human-

ity.” Jesus does this in a radical way through his death and

resurrection. We, too, are invited to bring new life to the

world around us. This means holding the world and every-

thing in it as sacred. It means advocating for civil policies

that respect life and paying special care to the vulnerable

and marginalized in every stage of life. It means being dis-

ciples of Jesus, inviting people into authentic love so that

one day we will together “be with [him] in Paradise!”

CHRISTMAS GIVING TREES…

TREES are at the entrance of the church filled with

Box Shaped cards listing those needs and wishes for the

children Sacred Heart adopts. If you are able to take and

fulfill a request card, Please WRAP the gift and ATTACH

the box shaped request card.

We only ask one very important thing: PLEASE,

PLEASE PLEASE return the gift to Sacred Heart before

BUT no later than December 11 (this is also listed on the

gift request card). Once the gifts leave Sacred Heart, if the

gift is not returned, sadly that child will not receive his or

her gift :( :(

Cards in the shape of a Christmas Tree will be on the tree

representing an item that will support our local

Community Maternity Service.

Cards in the shape of a Star list an item for the Sacred

Heart Food Pantry.

Gifts can be brought to the parish center or left at the

entrance to the church. Merry Christmas!
