O God of all the Nations, the One God who is and was and always will be, who in your
providence willed that your Church be united to the suffering of your Son, look with mercy on your servants in Iraq who are persecuted for
their faith in you. Grant them perseverance and courage to be
worthy imitators of Christ. Bring your wisdom upon leaders of nations to work for
peace among all peoples. May your Spirit open conversion for those who contradict your will that we live in harmony. And in all things may we be united in truth and freedom to seek your
will in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.

tems and policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For 40 years,
CCHD has funded community groups that seek justice and create lasting change.
Fight poverty in America. Defend human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection.
La próxima semana realizaremos la Co-lecta para la Campaña Católica para el

necesitados no iba a mejorar hasta que no se cambiasen los sistemas y las polí-ticas que mantienen a las personas en la pobreza. La CCHD, a lo largo de 40 años, ha financiado a grupos comunitarios que buscan justicia y producen cambios du-
raderos. Luche contra la pobreza en América. Defienda la dignidad humana.

All Christians in both East and West embraced the care of the sick as essential to church life. In the West, the im-portance of the visit of the priest is stressed, while in the East, the sick person is brought to the church for a full Lit-urgy of the Word. Some, such as the Armenians, even call it the “Ritual of the Lamp,” since the oil is poured out of the lamp by which the Word is read. This may be why Eastern Christians sometimes anoint the sick with this oil, since the trip to church might kill them. Our tradition in the West also unfolded in monasteries, where it was possible for infirm monks to be attended with a full and beautiful-ly consoling liturgy. In 950 the monks of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz produced a ceremonial book that was instantly a pastoral hit everywhere. There were two lengthy rituals for the sick, one an extended vigil, and the other a liturgy of anointing that included Communion un-der both species. While this ritual was a house formula for monks, it is easy to see how monks who had the care of parishes desired to serve their parishioners in a similar way. The first form included the chanting of penitential psalms, and the second form required a confession before-hand. Both forms included a laying on of hands, which everyone understood as being an essential part of penance. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
En 1682 unos negociantes encontraron una caja abandonada en una playa al sur de El Salvador. Como no pudieron abrirla decidieron llevársela al pueblito de San Miguel para conseguir con qué abrirla. Montaron la caja en un burrito y comenzaron su camino. Al pasar
por la iglesia parroquial, el burrito se sentó y la caja se abrió revelando una bella imagen de la Virgen. En aquel entonces el pueblo de El Salvador estaba divido por la guerra pero con la llegada de esta imagen milagrosa el pueblo buscó reconciliarse. En 1833 hubo
otra guerra en El Salvador y los que salieron victoriosos prometieron a María no vengarse en contra de los perdedores. Por estos hechos se le concedió a la imagen el nombre Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Su imagen de madera tallada y vestida lleva una palma en la mano recordando un milagro donde por la intercesión de la Virgen de la Paz, Dios salvó al pueblo de la explosión de un volcán. La palma recuerda que el humo que salía del volcán formaba una palma en el cielo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Trigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
GET READY The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the belief of the entire early Christian community that the return of Christ was imminent. Therefore, to devote time or attention to anything else was foolish. As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today we may wonder, when we hear these readings about the coming end-times, if we should take them to heart. What should we do when we hear that the day of the Lord will come upon us “like a thief at night”? (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Does this mean we are to stop our long-range goal-setting, get rid of our yearly calendars and planners, or stop putting money in the col-lege education fund? Of course not. What it does mean is that we need to change our lives, living like chil-dren of the light and illuminating the world around us with the light of the gospel. Then, on that day, when the details of our daily living become unimportant, we will be ready to find our peace and security in Christ Jesus. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PREPÁRENSE Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses son de sus primeros escritos, y fueron motivadas por su creencia y la de toda la primera comunidad cristiana de que el regreso de Cristo era inminente, y por eso sería una tontería dar tiempo o atención a otras cosas.
Con el pasar del tiempo, ese fervor comenzaba a disminuir un poco. Hoy día, cuando escuchamos estas lecturas sobre el fin del mundo, podemos preguntarnos si de veras creemos que Cristo va a venir entre nosotros como “un ladrón en la noche” (1 Tesalo-nicenses 5:2). Si la respuesta es “Sí”, ¿debemos, o no, dejar nuestra planificación a largo plazo, deshacernos de nuestros calendarios y agendas, y suspender los ahorros para la educación uni-versitaria de nuestros hijos? Seguro que no. Pero, lo que sí quiere decir es que deberíamos
cambiar nuestra vida y vivir como hijos de la luz e iluminar el mundo a nuestro alrededor con la luz del Evangelio. Entonces, en aquel día, cuando los detalles de nuestra rutina diaria ya no importen, estaremos listos para encontrar nuestra paz y seguridad en Cristo Jesús. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
