THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

1) Malachi 3: 19-20a 2) 2 Thessalonians 3: 7-12 3) Luke 21: 5-19

FOCUS: Jesus gives us the grace and strength needed to perse-vere in faith.

Throughout his life and ministry, Jesus taught clearly that there is a cost to living as his faithful disciples. We may be rejected or persecuted for the sake of our faith. We need not fear, however, for Jesus promises to give us the grace and strength to persevere.

LITURGY OF THE WORD

The first reading explains that the day is coming when the Lord will punish evildoers, but bring healing to the just. Paul’s words in Thessalonians urge those who are idle to keep busy and work quietly to earn their own food. In the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that he will give them a wisdom in speaking that will render their adversaries powerless to resist or refute.

THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

The Gospel predicts end times; our challenge though is to live faithfully now. St. Vincent often asked this simple question: “What would Jesus Christ do, if he were in my place now?”

Ask yourself “What would Jesus Christ do?” and then put your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul poor box so that those who are suffering will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving.

ALTAR BREAD & WINE For a Week — $ 30.00 ALTAR FLOWERS For a Week — $ 75.00

Pope Francis' Prayer for the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy

Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Sa-maritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!" You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by for-giveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and for-given by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

LECTURAS DEL DIA Malaquias 3: 19-20a Mirad que llega el día, ardiente como un horno: malvados y perversos serán la paja, y los quemaré el día que ha de venir -dice el Señor de los ejércitos-, y no quedará de ellos ni rama ni raíz. Pero a los que honran mi nombre los iluminará un sol de justicia que lleva la salud en las alas.

Lucas 21: 5-19 En aquel tiempo, algunos ponderaban la belleza del templo, por la calidad de la piedra y los exvotos. Jesús les dijo: "Esto que contempláis, llegará un día en que no quedará piedra sobre piedra: todo será destruido." Ellos le preguntaron: "Maestro, ¿cuándo va a ser eso?, ¿y cuál será la señal de que todo eso está para suceder?" Él contesto: "Cuidado con que nadie os enga-ñe. Porque muchos vendrán usurpando mi nombre, diciendo: "Yo soy", o bien: "El momento está cerca; no vayáis tras ellos. Cuando oigáis noticias de guerras y de revoluciones, no tengáis pánico. Porque eso tiene que ocurrir primero, pero el final no vendrá en seguida." Luego les dijo: "Se alzará pueblo contra pueblo y reino contra reino, habrá grandes terremotos, y en diversos países epidemias y hambre. Habrá también espantos y grandes signos en el cielo. Pero antes de todo eso os echarán mano, os perseguirán, entregándoos a las sinagogas y a la cárcel, y os harán comparecer ante reyes y gobernadores, por causa mía. Así tendréis ocasión de dar testimonio. Haced propósito de no preparar vuestra defensa, porque yo os daré palabras y sabiduría a las que no podrá hacer frente ni contradecir ningún adversario vuestro. Y hasta vuestros padres, y parientes, y hermanos, y amigos os traicionarán, y matarán a algunos de vo-sotros, y todos os odiarán por causa mía.

INFORMACIÓN SACADA DEL INTERNET

DIMANCHE 13 NOVEMBRE 2016

Chrétien, témoin en temps de crise «Cela vous amènera à rendre témoignage.» Les temps difficiles que nous vivons, sur les plans géopolitique, économique et religieux, éclairent cette phrase de l’évangile du jour. C’est dans les mo-ments de crise que les chrétiens sont invités à être de vrais témoins. La foi chrétienne n’est pas desti-née aux personnes pour lesquelles tout va bien et à qui un supplément d’âme serait nécessaire. Au contraire, la puissance du christianisme se manifeste au milieu des ombres et des violences, quand le frêle esquif de nos sociétés et de nos vies est ballotté par les vents contraires. Deux éléments apparemment contradictoires sont pourtant rappelés. D’un côté, la puissance de la résurrection du Christ nous est confiée sans jamais nous appartenir, car le témoignage est toujours une grâce. De l’autre, saint Paul nous redit l’exigence d’un authentique «travail» lié au pain eucharistique. Le pain de vie nous est donné chaque dimanche pour nourrir ce travail de témoignage. Et c’est à chacun d’entre nous, dans nos Églises fragilisées, d’inscrire cette puissance de vie dans nos existences et dans notre monde. Car le jour du Seigneur arrive, comme le rappelle le prophète.Le christianisme nous inscrit d’une manière originale dans le temps, d’une double manière, en nous pressant pour aujourd’hui, et en nous tournant vers un avenir qui nous est promis et déjà offert. Dieu fait toujours grâce, sans attendre nos efforts et nos réussites, mais cette grâce peut s’inscrire et travailler notre vie, notre entourage, notre société, en indiquant l’unique source: le Christ, ressuscité aujourd’hui.
