face at the many events the parish and Knights host annually. He is
always volunteering his time and talents to the parish and communi-

Social Justice Reflection November 12th
Because God is the creator, redeemer, lover of the world, God’s own
honor is at stake in human happiness. Wherever human beings are
violated, diminished, or have their life drained away, God’s glory is
dimmed and dishonored. Wherever human beings are quickened to
fuller and richer life, God’s glory is enhanced. A community of
justice and peace (thriving among human beings) and God’s glory
increase in direct and not inverse proportion.
~ Elizabeth Johnson, C.S.J., She Who Is, 14

Help your child identify one talent this week, and one
way they can improve it. Often this includes the "P" word -

Are you Being Called to God? Today’s first reading reminds us that wisdom “is readily perceived
by those who love her and found by those who seek her.” God’s
wisdom for us includes our individual vocation, that unique plan
God has for each of us to participate in His work. Like wisdom,
God’s call is “readily perceived” and “found” by those who put time
and effort into discerning it. What steps are you taking to discern
your vocation? Call or write Father Norm Carroll, Diocesan Direc-
tor of Priestly and Religious Vocations (302-573-3113 or voca-

November 12, 2017 Jesus’ parable this week emphasizes that one
must be prepared. We may not know the day or
the hour of His return, but we should be ready for it at all
times. Imagine all the preparation needed before you go on a
vacation. Reservations need to be made, bags packed, and
finances set aside. Are you making the same effort in prepar-
ing to meet Jesus? What must you do in order to be ready?
Are you preparing yourself now, or do you find yourself pro-
crastinating? Heed the warning this parable provides, do not
wait any longer, and prepare yourself now. Christ is waiting
to receive each of us with open arms.
