Page Two BOLETIN HISPANO Gracias a todas las personas que han donado artículos para bebés y dinero en efectivo para la Oficina de Respeto a la Vida. Dios bendiga su generosidad. Ya el mes de noviembre está por llegar y con él ,el dia de Acción de Gracias. Como todos los años el árbol con las tarjetas para ayudar a familias necesitadas está a la entrada de la Iglesia. El programa de "Adopte a una familia" necesita su ayuda. Puede también traer alimentos enlatados para ayudar a estas familias que necesitan. Gracias nuevamente por su generosidad. "Amado Jesús ayúdame a difundir tu fragancia por dondequiera que vaya. Inunda mi alma con Tu Espíritu y Tu vida. Penetra y posee todo mi ser hasta que mi vida sólo sea un reflejo de la tuya. Brilla a través de mí, de tal modo que todas las almas con las que me encuentre sientan tu presencia en mi alma. Que me miren y no ya no vean a mí, sino solamente a Jesús. Roguemos a la Nuestra Señora de un modo muy especial: María, madre de Jesús, sé la madre de todos nosotros, para que como Tú, podamos ser puros de corazón y.como Tú, amemos a Jesús; para que también como Tú, sírvamos a los más pobres,porque pobres lo somos todos. Que ante todo, amemos a nuestros prójimo, y así satisfagamos el deseo de Dios y devengamos en portadores de Su amor y compasión" Madre Teresa de Calcuta. COME TO THE FEAST “On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will provide for all peoples / a feast of rich food and choice wines” (Isaiah 25:6). That’s what Isaiah tells us today. God is putting together a huge party for “all peoples,”to “wipe away / the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8). And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he says, “may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the guests didn’t come, the king had his servants go out “into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find” (Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver that invitation. One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of divine generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think they have “earned” what they have. In our better moments, though, we know that all our gifts-even the spiritual gifts-come through God’s generosity. Our vocation is to invite people, to remind them the tickets aren’t for sale. We can only show up and say thank you. - Copyright @ J S Paluch Co. Next weekend’s Special Collection WORLD MISSION SUNDAY Next weekend our parish will celebrate World Mission Sunday. This year we are invited to reach out and help build the Church in Mongolia, the world’s youngest Catholic Church, as well as local churches throughout the Missions, in the remote areas across our world. Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor receive practical help and experience God’s love and mercy, His hope and peace. Please keep the Missions in your daily prayers. Please come prepared next weekend to give as generously as your means allow in the collection for the Society of the Propagation of the Faith.
