October 14, 2018 Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time WORDS OF WISDOM The spirit of wisdom, as we discover in today’s first reading, comes to those who pray for her. Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consolation as well as of great challenge. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the word of God, infused with the wisdom of God, is “sharper than any two-edged sword.” We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds. Jesus, the living word of God, the embodiment of wisdom, has strong, deeply penetrating words for the rich young man who comes to him seeking answers to his most profound questions. Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God’s commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. (Wisdom 7:7-11). Psalm — Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy! (Psalm 90). Second Reading — Indeed the word of God is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12-13). Gospel — It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:17-30 [17-27]).

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Teresa of Jesus Tuesday: St. Hedwig; St. Margaret Mary Alacoque; National Boss Day Wednesday: St. Ignatius of Antioch Thursday: St. Luke Friday: Ss. John de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues, and

Companions Saturday: St. Paul of the Cross; Blessed Virgin Mary TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION They say that it is not so much that Columbus discovered America, but rather that after he arrived, the new world “stayed discovered.” The sponsorship of Ferdinand and Isabella assured that the news would flash around Europe with an air of authority that other “discoverers” lacked. One of the oft-mentioned early visitors is Saint Brendan the Navigator, a sixth-century Irish monk who had trouble staying at home. He is said to have sailed to “the Isle of the Blessed” in a leather-bound boat, and to have been away from his monastery for seven years. Upon his return, the stories of adventures to a new land attracted pilgrims to his monastery in the Blasket Islands, off the west coast of Ireland. Columbus is said to have referred to The Voyage of Saint Brendan, a very popular adventure in those days. Only after his American journey is Brendan said to have gone to tamer lands to the east, England and Scotland. In 1976, Tim Severin set out on a two-year voyage to America from Ireland in a leather-bound boat, traveling in summer and hopscotching from the Faroes to Iceland to Newfoundland, and encountering along the way exactly what Saint Brendan describes: icebergs, whales, and porpoises. Scholars warn not to dismiss this too quickly: just as the ancient Egyptian monks sought to live in the desert, for the Celtic monks exile in a boat was the Irish equivalent. Five centuries after Brendan, other Irish monks may have visited here as a refuge from Viking terror. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. THE PATH People find their way to paradise more by a path of footprints than by a pack of road maps. —Anonymous

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 14, 2018 The word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword. — Hebrews 4:12a

14 de octubre de 2018 Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario PALABRAS DE SABIDURÍA Hoy aprendemos en la primera lectura que el espíritu de la sabiduría llega a los que lo invocan. La sabiduría, como la Palabra de Dios, lleva un mensaje de consuelo y a la vez constituye un gran desafío. La carta a los hebreos nos cuenta que la Palabra de Dios, que está empapada con la sabiduría de Dios, es “más penetrante que una espada de dos filos”. No podemos acobardarnos ante la sabiduría de Dios ni ante la palabra que tiene el poder de penetrar nuestro corazón y mente. Jesús, la Palabra viva de Dios, la encarnación de la sabiduría, le dice cosas fuertes y muy penetrantes al joven rico que acude a Jesús en busca de respuestas a sus dudas más profundas. Precisamente, cuando el joven pensaba que había hecho lo suficiente para cumplir los mandamientos de Dios, se le exigió más. Lo mismo sucede en nuestro caso. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El don más preciado que podemos pedir y poseer es la sabiduría (Sabiduría 7:7-11). Salmo — Sácianos, Señor, con tu bondad; para que nos llene la alegría (Salmo 90 [89]). Segunda lectura — La palabra viva de Dios penetra hasta las profundidades más recónditas de nuestro ser (Hebreos 4:12-13). Evangelio — Aquellos que han dejado sus posesiones a causa de Cristo y su Evangelio recibirán en herencia la vida eterna (Marcos 10:17-30 [17-27]). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical © 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Gál 4:22-24, 26-27, 31 5:1; Sal 113 (112):1b-5a, 6-7; Lc 11:29-32 Martes: Gál 5:1-6; Sal 119 (118):41, 43-45, 47-48; Lc 11:37-41 Miércoles: Gál 5:18-25; Sal 1:1-4, 6; Lc 11:42-46 Jueves: 2 Tm 4:10-17b; Sal 145 (144):10-13, 17-18; Lc 10:1-9 Viernes: Ef 1:11-14; Sal 33 (32):1-2, 4-5, 12-13; Lc 12:1-7 Sábado: Ef 1:15-23; Sal 8:2-3ab, 4-7; Lc 12:8-12 Domingo: Is 53:10-11; Sal 33 (32):4-5, 18-20, 22; Heb 4:14-16; Mc 10:35-45 [42-45]

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: Santa Teresa de Jesús Martes: Santa Eduvigis; Santa Margarita María Alacoque; Día Nacional del Jefe Miércoles: San Ignacio de Antioquía Jueves: San Lucas Viernes: Santos Juan de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues y compañeros Sábado: San Pablo de la Cruz; Santa María Virgen TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Existe en Perú un mural milagroso de la Pasión de Jesucristo. Esta imagen reconocida como el Señor de los Milagros, el Cristo Moreno o el Cristo de Pachacamilla fue pintada por un angoleño en el siglo XVII para una cofradía de africanos. A mitad del siglo un fuerte terremoto sacudió a Lima y las paredes de la cofradía se cayeron, sin que se dañara el mural. Eventualmente la imagen se reveló como milagrosa para los que oraban delante de ella. En la imagen aparece Jesús crucificado. Sobre él está el Espíritu Santo y el Padre. A la derecha de la cruz está su Madre con el corazón traspasado por una lanza y a su derecha, el fiel discípulo amado. Esta imagen es venerada como el Señor de los Milagros. Sin saberlo el artista angoleño ha pintado una reflexión teológica sobre la divinidad y la humanidad de Jesucristo. En su pasión redentora Jesús abre las puertas del cielo y de la comunicación entre el cielo y la tierra, entre Dios y la humanidad representada por la Madre y el discípulo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. EL CAMINO Es más fácil encontrar el camino al paraíso siguiendo las marcas de unas huellas que con un paquete de mapas. —Anónimo s10-14w7 LA LEY INTERIOR Más que ninguna exterior constitución, la interior ley de la caridad y amor que el Espíritu Santo escribe e imprime en los corazones ha de ayudar. —San Ignacio de Loyola

We welcome back Fr. Tom Frank, a retired priest of our diocese, as our Sunday Mass presider. We express our

gratitude for his presence and ministry amidst us. Thank you, Fr. Tom!

Today second collection is our monthly support to Catho-lic Schools and Education. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Visit the church before, during or after your work or if you are near our church. A visit to the Blessed sacrament is always beneficial for our soul and for the day that we live in. the church is open from 7 am to 7 pm.

Share Your Faith—Give Life: World Mission Sunday is the one Sunday in the year when the entire global Church comes together in support of mission. And all the donations from these worldwide Masses go entirely to support churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor. This special diocesan collection is scheduled next Sunday. Come ready.

The Office of the Diaconate is looking for matured men who are already living a lifestyle of service to the Church and their community, men whose lifestyles of service would be further strengthened and sacramentalized by the reception of Holy Orders. Typically, the men recommend-ed by their pastors and deacons have an attitude of Chris-tian service in kindness and humility. Talk to Father on how to proceed and answer the call.

All young women (18 to 35 years old) who are discerning their vocation are invited to meet sisters from a variety of communities and encounter their joy, hear their stories and join them in prayer. This year’s Project Miriam is Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Mary Cathedral in Austin. For more information, visit our website.

We continue to express our big thank you to all our vol-unteer who worked happily and hard to have our charro fields restrooms ready, the awning and the cement work.

The third Commandment which invites us to celebrate freedom with rest is, for us Christians, a prophecy of the Lord Jesus who breaks the interior slavery of sin, in order to make mankind capable of loving. True love is true free-dom: it detaches us from possession, rebuilds relation-ships, knows how to welcome and value others, trans-forms all toil into a joyful gift and makes us capable of communion. Love makes people free even in prison, even if one is weak and limited. This is the freedom that we receive from our Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ. (Quote from Pope Francis on General Audience of 12 September 2018)
