Thirty -Third Sunday in Ordinary Time From the Pastors Desk
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Now that Halloween has passed us by, the stores have rededicated their shelf space to Christmas items, and a few spots for Thanksgiving; which we all know will be Christmas by the end of next week. We are at that time of year again, when we begin to look back on the year that has been and look ahead to a new year coming. Even though the secular year will end six days after Christmas, we know from our catechism that our Church year is quickly coming to an end, and the Sunday following Thanksgiving will wrap up our Liturgical year with the celebration of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The Church, in Her wisdom, has given us readings, this time each year, which direct our gaze towards the end of time, to remind us that as our Church year is coming to an end, our time on earth will also come to an end. Of course, when we bring up the end times, Armageddon, or even just the inevitable death of the individual, people either change the subject or get very frightened. In college, I had a professor, who was a militant atheist, who kept talking about the advances in medical science and science overall. His hope of immortality was based upon scientific advances with questionable ethics, and a book that is no longer read, as it was only pur-chased as required reading for his course. Hollywood has handed us many movies with the end of the world as the central theme, with earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanoes and storms that usher in new and overnight ice ages. All of these movies have two things in common: they tend to terrify us, and they have individuals or groups who survive. Our need for hope is very real and recognized by Hollywood, whether it is just a few individuals, meant to repopulate the world, or those who have been sent out across the reaches of space, to find new worlds to colonize. Not many people would return to movies made by someone who ended an apocalyptic film with no one left alive. We need hope. As Catholics, as Christians, as followers of Jesus Christ, Who is the eternal Word of God, inseparable from the Father and the Holy Spirit, we have hope. Actually, we have the greatest of all hope, because we believe that through His Resurrection from the dead, His Ascension into Heaven, and the promise that He has given to us, we will share in eternal life in the presence of the Father. For two millennia, people have contemplated what it will be like, a few saints have been blessed with the beatific vision while they walked upon the earth. Artists have depicted it as best they could, with what imagery their times and imaginations afforded them, poetics and singers have lifted our hearts with words to describe how we will feel when Christ comes in all His glory. In our own imaginations, in our own devotions, we reach to find something to describe what lies beyond our hopes, dreams and desires. We know that Christ is true to His promise and that when He comes again, we will be like Him for all time, that we will be filled with every grace, to answer every one of our longings. Yet there is still within each of us, that fear, that hesitation, which makes us hesitate in the face of earthly death. Part of this is the fear that is presented to us by the stories we enjoy, those action movies which present the end of the world as something scary and violent. Another part of this are the whispers from the devil, who tells us lies to create fear and violence, causing us to wander from the path of love and righteousness. But the greatest cause of our fear is the natural repugnance with which we, as living beings, view death, and that is natural and good. Within each of us, God has placed a love of life, a desire to live, and be, it is that which makes us demand there be survivors in the disaster movies, it is what makes us sad at the death of loved ones. While we believe that God calls us to eternal life, and that Christ will come in all His glory on the last day, raise the dead and transform our bodies to be like His own Resurrected one, there is still a sorrow at separation, and at death. It is that desire to live which guides us to the One Who will give us Life which knows no death. Pax, Fr. Henry
LIFE IS HARD, BUT HAVE NO FEAR Today’s readings take a fearless look at reality and reach a con-clusion that we all know: life is hard. The prophet Malachi preaches fire and brimstone, warning us that evildoers will perish in flames. Saint Paul offers his own warning to the Thessalonians: keep busy, but never become a busybody. He reminds Christians that the apostles themselves worked in “toil and drudgery” as a model for how we ought to contribute to our community. The Gospel returns to the apoc-alyptic tone of Malachi, describing the utter chaos of the end-times. We will know the end is near when violence, catastrophe, and hatred dominate the earth. But we must not fear! God’s saving plan brings peace to our hearts. Malachi speaks of the sun’s “healing rays,” and Jesus himself promises to protect every hair on our heads. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 1 Mc 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-63; Ps 119:53, 61, 134, 150, 155, 158; Lk 18:35-43 or (for the memorial of the Dedication) Acts 28:11-16, 30-31; Ps 98:1-6; Mt 14:22-33 Tuesday: 2 Mc 6:18-31; Ps 3:2-7; Lk 19:1-10 Wednesday: 2 Mc 7:1, 20-31; Ps 17:1bcd, 5-6, 8b, 15; Lk 19:11-28 Thursday: 1 Mc 2:15-29; Ps 50:1b-2, 5-6, 14-15; Lk 19:41-44 Friday: 1 Mc 4:36-37, 52-59; 1 Chr 29:10bcd, 11-12; Lk 19:45-48 Saturday: 1 Mc 6:1-13; Ps 9:2-4, 6, 16, 19; Lk 20:27-40 Sunday: 2 Sm 5:1-3; Ps 122:1-5; Col 1:12-20; Lk 23:35-43 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION We are faced with strong and disturbing readings today that hold a certain fascination, since they seem at first glance to be blueprints for future inevitable wars and hardship. A fundamentalist interpreta-tion focuses on this aspect. Yet we hear them at our Sunday celebra-tion of the Eucharist, which infuses them with hope and optimism. Rather than dreading the future, today’s liturgy assures us that God is with us in all of life’s inevitable trials, and that we have a role in shap-ing the outcome of human history. Occasionally, some Christians have attempted to decode these readings for an exact measure of the world’s end, but they have thus far been disappointed. “Nothing lasts forever” is a lyric from a Broadway show. Stars fall from the sky, leaves wither and fall, mountains wash into the sea, human projects and governments totter and collapse with great regu-larity. Today’s liturgy opposes this idea as incomplete, reminding us that Christ has made a permanent change in human history, and that life in him is life forever. Rather than inviting us to throw in the towel, today’s liturgy strengthens us for acts of goodness and grace in our families, communities, and world. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

November 17, 2019 Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
17 de noviembre de 2019 Trigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LA VIDA ES DURA, PERO NO TENEMOS MIEDO Las lecturas de hoy toman una mirada valiente a la realidad y llegan a la conclusión que todos sabemos, la vida es dura. El profe-ta Malaquías predica fuego y azufre, advirtiéndonos que los mal-hechores perecerán en llamas. San Pablo ofrece su propia adver-tencia a los tesalonicenses: manténgase ocupados, pero nunca en entrometidos. Él recuerda a los cristianos que los mismos apósto-les hicieron “trabajos pesados y penosos” como un modelo de cómo debemos contribuir a nuestra comunidad. El Evangelio re-gresa al tono apocalíptico de Malaquías, describiendo el caos total del final de los tiempos. Sabremos que el fin se acerca cuando la violencia, las catástrofes y el odio dominen la tierra. ¡Pero no de-bemos tener miedo! El plan de salvación de Dios nos da paz a nuestros corazones. Malaquías habla de los “rayos sanadores” del sol, y el mismo Jesús promete proteger cada cabello de nuestras cabezas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Mc 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-63; Sal 119 (118):53, 61, 134, 150, 155, 158; Lc 18:35-43 o (para el memorial de la Dedicación) Hch 28:11-16, 30-31; Sal 98 (97):1-6; Mt 14:22-33 Martes: 2 Mc 6:18-31; Sal 3:2-7; Lc 19:1-10 Miércoles: 2 Mc 7:1, 20-31; Sal 17 (16):1bcd, 5-6, 8b, 15; Lc 19:11-28 Jueves: 1 Mc 2:15-29; Sal 50 (49):1b-2, 5-6, 14-15; Lc 19:41-44 Viernes: 1 Mc 4:36-37, 52-59; 1 Cr 29:10bcd, 11-12; Lc 19:45-48 Sábado: 1 Mc 6:1-13; Sal 9:2-4, 6, 16, 19; Lc 20:27-40 Domingo: 2 Sm 5:1-3; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Col 1:12-20; Lc 23:35-43 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Aproximadamente en 1589 los colonizadores de Ecuador quisieron tener una patrona para su territorio y pidieron al artista, Diego de Robles, una imagen de la virgen de la Presentación. Cuando el escultor quiso entregar la imagen, quienes la ordenaron no pudieron pagar. No sabiendo que hacer con la imagen la vendió a un grupo de indígenas Oyacachis por unos tablones de cedro fino. Los Oyacachis reconocieron en la imagen a la Señora que se les había aparecido en una cueva prometiendo proteger sus niños de unos peligrosos osos en la zona. En 1604, los indígenas cristia-nizados entregaron la imagen al obispo quien la instaló en la igle-sia del pueblo de Quinche. Es interesante como esta virgencita comisionada por españo-les pasa a manos de los nativos. Ella misma y el Niño Dios que carga en brazos son de aspecto mestizo, con ojos asiáticos. Diego de Robles la había diseñado pensando en el nuevo pueblo que vendría del mestizaje de los europeos con el pueblo nativo. “La pequeñita”, como la llama su pueblo, pudo unir en si misma la diversidad de su hijos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © Copyright, J.
