Parish Stewardship
STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT - THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME November�12,�2017
As a professor with a Ph.D. at the University of Florida, this week’s first reading and gospel speak to me since they deal with
wisdom. However, before going any farther, it is critical to separate wisdom from knowledge. Knowledge is “facts, information,
and skills acquired by a person.” However, wisdom is “the capacity of judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct.” I am
sure that many a student has prayed for knowledge before an exam, and I am doubtful that such prayers are answered as the student
requested, unless, of course, the student had prayed initially for wisdom, which would have guided them to study well in the first
place!
You see, knowledge is about knowing facts, but wisdom is about knowing what to do. St. John tells us that loving God is doing his
will (1 John 5:3), and to do his will we must know his will. Through God’s Word and his Church, we know God’s will: “Blessed are
we, O Israel; for what pleases God is known to us!” (Baruch 4:4). Yes, God has revealed his will to us, what pleases him! How
wonderful! And this is not a matter of intelligence reserved for professors; it is a matter of wisdom, which is a gift of the Spirit.
And Jesus tells us that God will grant the gift of the Spirit if we but ask “How much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy
Spirit to those who ask him?” (Luke 11:13).
As people like to say, “This is not rocket science (or microbiology, in my case).” This is praying for the Spirit, opening our being to
His Wisdom, and reading God’s Word to know his will – that which pleases him. It’s easy to focus on this when we are facing
major life decisions. However, we should strive to know and do God’s will in everything that we do all through our day every day
of our life. Obeying God’s commands through his will is loving God, and loving God is the first and greatest of the
commandments.
We are stewards of the wisdom of knowing what is pleasing to God. Let us partake of and develop this gift in all that we do.

All who die in God’s grace and friendship still need to achieve purification. The Catholic Church gives the name Purgatory
for this final preparation for eternal life. This is not a stage of punishment, but rather a stage of readiness. This doctrine is found in the Tradition of the Church, dating back to the Middle Ages. (CCC#1030-1031)
All donors who contributed $200 or more to our parish during 2017, will receive a charitable tax statement via U.S.Mail.

Todos los que mueren en la gracia y la amistad de Dios todavía necesitan para Alcanzar la purificación. La iglesia católica da el nombre
de Purgatorio para esta preparación final para la vida eterna. Esto no es una etapa de castigo, sino más bien una etapa de preparación. Esta doctrina se encuentra en la tradición de la iglesia, que se remonta a la edad media. (CCC#1030-1031)

The St. Vincent de Paul Society
November 12 — Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel, Jesus challenges us to “stay awake” by taking time to seriously look at ourselves, the priorities of our lives, and how we are growing spiritually. Ask yourself “What would Jesus Christ do?” and then put a gift in the poor box or participate
in a Thanksgiving food drive so that those who are suffering will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. If you would like more information about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul or know someone who needs assistance, please call 352-222-0588.
