DON’T BE FOOLISH What is foolish? What is wise? Most of us could name an occasion or two in which we have done something foolish. We did not stop to consider the consequences of our actions and regretted them in the end. The sort of foolishness we are considering here, however, is more than simple impulsive behavior and has eternal consequences. To be foolish in the eyes of God is to ignore the ways in which we know we are called to behave—toward God, others, and ourselves. The five foolish brides-maids did not fail in their duties through their actions, but rather through inaction. Like them, we may fail to be ready to meet our Lord, through inaction as much as through our actions. In these final weeks of the liturgical year, we are urged to take stock. How are we, or are we not, living as people whose faith directs our lives? Are we foolish through sinful action or inaction? Do we care for others and for ourselves, as we know we ought? Or do we act instead as though we have all the time in the world in which to embrace Christ’s way of mercy, forgiveness, justice, love, and peace? Do we fail to recognize that Christian discipleship is a way of life? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

BE WISE, BE READY

This urging to be ready for Christ’s return is not intended to frighten us, but rather to focus our attention on the things that matter. Wisdom lies in seeking God in all things. With the Psalmist, the wise person prays, “My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God” (Psalm 63:2b). Christ’s way is not hidden from us, as though we are playing a game of hide and seek. It is “readily perceived” (Wisdom 6:12) by all who love God. We know the way through the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, Christ’s great command to wash one another’s feet, to love and serve with glad hearts. To act accordingly is to be wise, and those who are wise will be ready. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRIGÉSIMO SEGUNDO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO:

12 DE NOVIEMBRE

NO SER TONTO ¿Qué significa ser tonto? ¿Qué significa ser

inteligente? Todos nosotros podemos nombrar una ocasión o dos en la que hayamos hecho algo tonto. No nos detuvimos a considerar las consecuencias de nuestras acciones o de lamentarnos al final por esas acciones. Sin embargo, el tipo de tonterías que aquí estamos considerando, es más que un simple comportamiento impulsivo que tiene consecuencias eternas. Ser ignorante ante los ojos de Dios es ignorar sus caminos los cuales nos enseñan cómo debemos comportarnos, ante Dios, nuestros prójimos y nosotros mismos. Las cinco jóvenes vírgenes no fallaron en cumplir sus responsabilidades, sino que fallaron en lo que no hicieron. Como ellas, fallamos en estar listos para el encuentro con nuestro Señor, ya sea por lo que no hacemos o por lo que hacemos. En estas últimas semanas del año litúrgico se nos urge hacer un balance. ¿Quiénes somos, quiénes no somos, viviendo como unas personas con una fe que dirige nuestras vidas? ¿Somos tontos por los pecados que comentemos o por cosas que no hicimos? ¿Cuidamos nuestros prójimos o a nosotros mismos como deberíamos? ¿O actuamos como si tuviéramos todo el tiempo del mundo para encaminarnos y andar por la ruta de Cristo de misericordia, perdón, justicia, amor y paz? ¿Fallamos en reconocer que el discipulado cristiano es un camino para la vida? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

EVANGELIO Las vírgenes necias no estaban preparadas para la

llegada del novio (Mateo 25:1-13).

SÉ SABIO, PREPÁRATE La urgencia de estar listo para la venida de Cristo no tiene la intensión de espantarnos, sino al contrario, de enfocar nuestra atención en cosas que importan. La sabiduría consiste en buscar a Dios en todas las cosas. Como el salmista, la persona sabia ora diciendo “mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor” (Salmo 63:2b). El camino de Cristo no está escondido para nosotros, como si fuera un juego de busca y encuentra. “Se deja contemplar rápidamente” (Sabiduría 6:12) por todos los que aman a Dios. Conocemos los Diez Mandamientos, las Beatitudes, el mandamiento de Jesús de lavar los pies uno al otro, amar y servir con corazones alegres. Comportarse correctamente es ser sabio, y aquellas personas que sean sabias estarán listas.— Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

News from Faith Formation

On November 11th, as American’s celebrate Veteran’s day, we also look to the Holy men and women who have stood up for PEACE in our world. Interestingly, 11/11 is the feast day of St. Martin de Tours. Martin became a soldier at the age of 15. When 18, he received the sacrament of Holy Baptism. Soon after he asked to be released from the army, stating:

"With the sign of the Cross, I shall more certainly break through the ranks of the enemy than if armed

with shield and sword." St. Martin de Tours, pray for us.
