November 10, 2019 Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD We are nearing the end of the liturgical year. Today’s readings remind us that our own lives will draw to a close one day, and we can be certain that the Lord will encourage, strengthen, and save us—both now and at the last. The astonishing story of the Maccabees invigorates our faith as we behold an entire family willing to die rather than deny the Law of Moses. The psalm response echoes the faithful cries of the Maccabees: “I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God.” That same confidence appears in Saint Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians. “The Lord is faithful,” he testifies; “he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” In the Gospel, Jesus explains just how long God’s protection will endure. The children of God whom God guards, Jesus says, will live forever like angels. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The King of the world will raise us up to live again forever (2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14). Psalm — Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full (Psalm 17). Second Reading — May the Lord encourage and strengthen your hearts (2 Thessalonians 2:16 — 3:5). Gospel — Those who are deemed worthy of the coming age can no longer die (Luke 20:27-38 [27, 34-38]).

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Martin of Tours; Veterans Day Tuesday: St. Josaphat Wednesday: St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Friday: St. Albert the Great Saturday: St. Margaret of Scotland; St. Gertrude; Blessed Virgin Mary TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In the seventeenth century, English Catholics, many of them wealthy and well educated, looked to the American colonies as a place to regain a measure of religious freedom. In Ireland, the so-called penal laws were even harsher than in England, as a minority Parliament tried to force the conversion of the population by denying the majority political and economic power. Beginning in 1691, laws were passed that punished dissenters, principally Catholics, but also causing hardship for Jews, Quakers, and others. There were acts forbidding “mixed marriage” or sending children “beyond the seas” for schooling. Catholics were taxed at double the common rate, barred from the legal professions and from university, and not allowed to build churches or own a decent horse. In 1793 the situation began to change, as it became clear that the economic persecution would not drive the majority away from Catholicism. Gradually, laws were repealed until by 1829 freedom was won, although Catholics at university were ineligible for honors, and until the 1920s when the Republic was formed, the Church of Ireland was the state church, funded by the taxes of all citizens. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PERSPECTIVE We must often draw the comparison of time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean! —St. Elizabeth Ann Seton PROCRASTINATION Tomorrow is always the busiest day of the year. —Anonymous

Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time November 10, 2019 My steps have been steadfast in your paths, my feet have not faltered. I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God. — Psalm 17:5-6a

10 de noviembre de 2019 Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario CONFIANZA EN EL SEÑOR Estamos cerca del fin del año litúrgico. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan que nuestras vidas se acercarán a su final un día, y podemos estar seguros de que el Señor nos animará, fortalecerá y salvará, tanto ahora y al final. La asombrosa historia de los macabeos revitaliza nuestra fe mientras contemplamos a una familia entera dispuesta a morir en lugar de negar la Ley de Moisés. La respuesta del salmo hace eco a los gritos fieles de los macabeos “Te invoqué, y me respondiste, Señor”. La misma confianza aparece en la carta de san Pablo a los tesalonicenses. “El Señor s fiel”, él da testimonio, “él te fortalecerá y protegerá del maligno”. En el Evangelio, Jesús explica por cuánto tiempo la protección de Dios perdurará. Los hijos de Dios a quien Dios cuida, Jesús dice, vivirán por siempre, como los ángeles. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El rey del universo nos resucitará para una vida eterna (2 Macabeos 7:1-2, 9-14). Salmo — Al despertar, Señor, contemplaré tu rostro (Salmo 17 [16]). Segunda lectura — Que el Señor los anime y fortalezca en todos las obras (2 Tesalonicenses 2:16 — 3:5). Evangelio — Aquellos que son dignos de llegar a la edad futura son hijos de Dios (Lucas 20:27-38) [27, 34-38].

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: San Martín de Tours; Día de los Veteranos Martes: San Josafat Miércoles: Santa Francisca Javier Cabrini Viernes: San Alberto Magno Sábado: Santa Margarita de Escosia; Santa Gertrudis; Santa María Virgen TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección de fray Junípero Serra alzaron una cruz en Alta California, dedicando la primera misión en la zona a san Diego de Alcalá. Diego, cuya fiesta es el 13 de noviembre, fue un franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo español nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo servir a Dios como hermano lego (laico) ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los enfermos. Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los demás. Aun cuando lo hicieron guardián (líder franciscano) nunca dejo de servir a los pobres, los enfermos y a sus hermanos franciscanos. Su afán por dar a los pobres las cosas del convento lo llevaba a esconder sus donaciones en su manto. Una vez un hermano le preguntó que escondía y el mintiendo respondió: “rosas”. El hermano insistió verlas y en lugar de la comida que llevaba a los pobres, aparecieron rosas y más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San Diego, California se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1) solidaridad con los más necesitados, 2) devoción a Cristo crucificado y 3) evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PERSPECTIVA Frecuentemente debemos comparar el tiempo y la eternidad. Este es el remedio para todos los problemas. ¡Qué pequeño parecerá el momento presente cuando entremos en ese inmenso océano! —Sta. Isabel Ana Seton NO QUEJARSE Si los cristianos pasaran rezando la misma cantidad de tiempo que pasan quejándose, no tendrían nada de que quejarse. —Anónimo

Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 10 de noviembre de 2019 Mis pies estuvieron firmes en tus caminos, y no vacilaron mis pasos. Yo te invoco porque tú me respondes. — Salmo 17 (16):5-6a

THANK YOU VETERANS The office will be closed tomorrow in observance of Veteran's Day. Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a fed-eral holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans, that is, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces (and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were for-mally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

GRACIAS VETERANOS La oficina estará cerrada mañana en observancia del Día de los Veteranos. El Día de los Veteranos (originalmente conocido co-mo Día del Armisticio) es un feriado federal en los Estados Unidos que se observa anualmente el 11 de noviembre para hon-rar a los veteranos militares, es decir, las personas que han servido en las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos (y fueron dados de baja en condiciones distintas a deshonrosas ) Coincide con otros días festivos, como el Día del Armisticio y el Día del Recuerdo, que se celebran en otros países que marcan el aniver-sario del fin de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Las principales hostilidades de la Primera Guerra Mundial terminaron for-malmente a las 11 horas del día 11 del mes 11 de 1918, cuando entró en vigor el armisticio con Alemania. A instancias de las principales organizaciones de veteranos de los EE. UU., El Día del Armisticio pasó a llamarse Día de los Veteranos en 1954.
