CONFESSIONS Saturdays 8:30 am to 10:00 am
Or By Appointment
I n less than two weeks, we will be transitioning into a new Liturgical Year. A new cycle of readings will begin. The foundations
of our faith will be recalled. The celebration of the Paschal Mystery will be renewed. Another component of our spiritual lives
will have been brought to conclusion, as a new chapter in the story is ushered in, whose details and length of stay, are yet to be
determined.
This weekend’s readings, though, are invitations to embrace a sort of examination of conscience. As we reflect over the past year of
going to church and journeying in faith, in so many words, the Scriptures ask us, “how have we responded in the past?” “What have we
done with the time, life, gifts, talents, and opportunities that God has given us throughout this past year, this most recent chapter in our
unfolding lives?” It can be a sobering reflection, if we haven’t lived them in the light of eternity.
In Catholic eschatological thought, there is always a certain tension between living for the now, and keeping our eye on the future.
Spiritually speaking, we have a golden opportunity while we are alive in the flesh to respond to God’s providence and grace. We love, we
sing, we smile, we laugh, we cry, and we endeavor. All of these things make us alive in the present. It is incumbent upon us to live the
current moment well, virtuously, responsibly, productively, generously, and grounded in God’s efficacious Word. This concept reminds
me of the old Latin phrase “carpe diem,” i.e., seize the day. Spiritually speaking, we are asked to maximize the present moment, to find
the purpose and completion of our lives and our holy vocations. Why would we not want to live our lives to their full potentials, and find
fulfillment and happiness? I think that the Lord, himself, wants us to use everything at our disposal, all that is given to us, in the best
possible way. Why would he not want the very best from us? Why would he not want us to succeed in the life that his gracious love has
provided for us?
Yet, at the same time, it is also a sign of great wisdom that a person plan for the future, having an eye on the end game, looking to
the finish line, at the object of our questing and searching: the promised reward for a life well lived. Indeed, it is important to be as
innocent as doves, yet as wise as serpents. These final weeks of the Liturgical Year provide us impetus to get focused, and to live wisely,
using our time, talent, and treasure wisely, yet again.
We should always strive to align our lives with God’s will, to enhance our way of living, so as to reflect the hope and promise of
eternity in our souls and through our good use of the precious gift of time. Meditating on the quality of our lives in the present, becoming
reflective practitioners, will help us to make our lives as full of love, delight, and spiritual accomplishment as they can possibly be. We
must engage our intellectual, personal, and spiritual capital in the service of the Gospel and, in so doing, we will find life itself in Christ.
The Parable of the Talents makes clear that there are those who waste a lot of time and resources (talents), squander the richness of
this brief and precious life of ours, and are thereby rendered ineffectual. May our humble prayer this day be, therefore, that we are open
to use our “talents” ad majorem dei gloriam, i.e., for the greater glory of God, living well now in the flesh, as we journey toward
the promised future in the Spirit.
E n menos de dos semanas, estaremos en transición a un nuevo año litúrgico. Comenzará un nuevo ciclo de lecturas. Los
fundamentos de nuestra fe serán recordados. La celebración del Misterio Pascual será renovada. Habremos llegado a un nuevo
componente de nuestra vida espiritual, a medida que se introduzca un nuevo capítulo en la historia, cuyos detalles y duración de la estancia
aún no se han determinado.
Sin embargo, las lecturas de este fin de semana son invitaciones a adoptar una especie de examen de conciencia. Al reflexionar sobre el
año pasado de ir a la iglesia y viajar en fe, en pocas palabras, las Escrituras nos preguntan, "¿cómo hemos respondido en el pasado?" "¿Qué
hemos hecho con el tiempo, la vida, los dones, los talentos, y oportunidades que Dios nos ha dado a lo largo de este año pasado, este capítulo
más reciente en el desarrollo de nuestras vidas?" Puede ser un reflejo aleccionador, si no lo hemos vivido a la luz de la eternidad.
En el pensamiento escatológico católico, siempre hay una cierta tensión entre vivir por el ahora y vigilar el futuro. Espiritualmente hablando,
tenemos una oportunidad de oro mientras estamos vivos en la carne para responder a la providencia y gracia de Dios. Amamos, cantamos,
sonreímos, nos reímos, lloramos y nos esforzamos. Todas estas cosas nos hacen vivir en el presente. Nos corresponde a nosotros vivir bien el
momento actual, de manera virtuosa, responsable, productiva, generosa y basada en la Palabra eficaz de Dios. Este concepto me recuerda a la
antigua frase latina "carpe diem", es decir, aprovechar el día. Espiritualmente hablando, se nos pide maximizar el momento presente, encontrar
el propósito y la realización de nuestras vidas y nuestras vocaciones santas. ¿Por qué no queremos vivir nuestras vidas a su potencial máximo,
y encontrar satisfacción y felicidad? Creo que el Señor, él mismo, quiere que usemos todo lo que tenemos a nuestra disposición, todo lo que se
nos da, de la mejor manera posible. ¿Por qué no querría él lo mejor de nosotros? ¿Por qué no querría que tuviéramos éxito en la vida que su
amor amable nos ha proporcionado?
Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, es también una señal de gran sabiduría que una persona planifique para el futuro, teniendo un ojo puesto
en el juego final, mirando hacia la meta, al objeto de nuestra búsqueda e investigación: la recompensa prometida por una vida bien vivida.
De hecho, es importante ser tan inocente como las palomas, pero tan sabio como las serpientes. Estas semanas finales del año litúrgico nos dan
ímpetu para enfocarnos y vivir sabiamente, utilizando nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro sabiamente, una vez más.
Siempre debemos esforzarnos para alinear nuestras vidas con la voluntad de Dios, para mejorar nuestra forma de vida, a fin de reflejar la
esperanza y la promesa de la eternidad en nuestras almas y mediante nuestro buen uso del precioso regalo del tiempo. Meditar sobre la
calidad de nuestras vidas en el presente, convirtiéndonos en practicantes reflexivos, nos ayudará a hacer que nuestras vidas estén tan llenas de
amor, deleite y realización espiritual como sea posible. Debemos comprometer nuestro capital intelectual, personal y espiritual al servicio del
Evangelio y, al hacerlo, encontraremos la vida misma en Cristo.
La Parábola de los Talentos deja en claro que hay quienes desperdician mucho tiempo y recursos (talentos), desperdician la riqueza de
esta breve y preciosa vida nuestra, y por lo tanto se vuelven ineficaces. Que nuestra humilde oración este día sea, por lo tanto, que estemos
abiertos a usar nuestros "talentos" ad majorem dei gloriam, es decir, para la mayor gloria de Dios, viviendo bien ahora en la carne,
mientras viajamos hacia el futuro prometido en el Espíritu.

“Dichoso el que teme al Señor.”
— Salmo 128 (127):1a
El otoño es la estación de la cosecha y de compartir
los frutos de nuestra labor. Las lecturas bíblicas de esta
semana emplean imágenes de la cosecha, la vida familiar,
el embarazo y la inversión para describir la abundante
cosecha en el Reino de Dios. Descubrimos que compartir
los dones que hemos recibido trae recompensa eterna
para todos.
En la parábola del Evangelio un hombre le encarga
sus bienes a tres servidores antes de partir de viaje. A
cada uno le da dinero. Lo que hacen con ese dinero
determina lo que el amo hará con ellos cuando regrese. ¿Y
qué de nosotros? ¿Qué estamos haciendo con nuestros
talentos? ¿Cómo nos tratará nuestro Maestro cuando
vuelva? - Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Once again, all the participants in the 52 ministries and services at the
Church of the Little Flower are invited to attend an appreciation evening,
designed with you in mind. Desserts, coffee, refreshments, entertainment,
and a “free” raffle will be enjoyed by all. It will be a wonderful
community event, during which some 28 fellow parishioners will receive
the “coveted” Spirit of the Parish Award, annually bestowed on
parishioners who have captured the essence of parish life and service through their virtue and ministry
here at COTLF. Join us on Monday, November 20th at 7:30pm in Comber Hall. All are welcome.
Parishioners who have not done so before are invited to come to the rectory residence on Thursday, January 4th at 7:30pm to have dessert with Father Davis. You bring the dessert; Father will provide the coffee and refreshments. Having no particular agenda, it’s simply an opportunity, as parishioners, to have a casual chat with the Pastor. There are only twelve seats at the rectory’s dining room table, so space is limited. If you are interested, please call Maria Elena Chialastri, 305-446-9950, ext.306, to get your name on the list.
This week, we were surprised to find out that a number of very active participants in our parish
community have never taken the time to register as official members of the Church of the Little
Flower. Membership, of course, has tremendous benefits! By registering, a person is officially
counted as a valued member of this particular Catholic community of faith; they are positioned
to be recipients of important email blasts and news dissemination materials, newsletters,
Christmas cards, and charitable tax deduction letters that are sent out at the end of each calendar
year. In times of emergency, the priests can have easy access to contact registered parishioners. Being registered and
active also enables a parishioners to qualify for letters of recommendation for Catholic high school admittance,
qualifications for Baptismal and Confirmation sponsorship opportunities, as well as invitations to participate in some of
the treasured ministries and services of the parish. Take the time to go on-line or call the parish office to register or
confirm your registration today. Contact Annette Perez, our Curator of Records, at 305-446-9950, ext.302.
On Monday, December 11th at 7:00pm, our parish will once again have a
HEALING MASS, during which the Sacrament of the Anointing of the
Sick will be bestowed. Several concelebrating priests will be present, as we
pray for those who are terminally or seriously ill, those with a persistent
health malady, those approaching surgery, those recovering from surgery,
and those weakened by the burden of years are especially welcome to be
present. All are welcome to pray for those in need of healing and spiritual
consolation.
As a way to thank God for the new calendar year 2018 and to
ask his blessings upon our journey ahead, we will have a Holy
Hour, including Solemn Benediction on Tuesday, January 2nd at
7:00pm. All are welcome to join us, as we spend time in
adoration and intercession.
On Thanksgiving Day, we will have a special Mass schedule:
an early “bird” Mass at 7:00am Mass without music for all of the
cooks who need to be in the kitchen early that day. We will also have
a 10:30am family Mass with music. All are welcome.
On Tuesday, December 5th (in English) and on Wednesday, December 6th
(in Spanish), Father Flores will be offering an Advent evening of reflection to help
us enter into the spirit of the Advent season of hope and light.
All are welcome to join Father in church at 7:30pm each night respectively.
Join us on Tuesday, November 28th at 7:30pm for the annual
candlelight ceremony of blessing and unveiling of our life-size
Nativity Scene. This year’s new addition features a shepherd and his
little lambs. The 20 minute outdoor prayer service will be supported
by seasonal music provided by our parish adult choir. The ceremony,
well-suited for families and children, will be followed by a social in the
parish hall, where all can enjoy hot chocolate, eggnog, and cookies.
What a wonderful way to usher in Advent! All are welcome!

ONLY TWO (2!) pilgrim spaces remain for the January 2019 World
Youth Day Pilgrimage in Panama. Pilgrims MUST be at least 16
years old by the date of departure. Please contact Jorge Santibáñez at
the parish office for more information about WYD and details on
how to reserve a spot and sign up with our group.
After all Masses today, we’ll be selling the NEW COTLF Car Magnets and the COTLF Tiny

One of the regular ways that the good works of our “COTLF
Charities” organization takes place is through the resources given in
generosity to the Poor Box. Located in the back of church, near the
Saint Anthony statue, the Poor Box is available to receive your donations, sacrifices, and gestures of almsgiving and
penance which, in turn, are utilized to support and assist the poor, the needy, and those in emergency circumstances.
Although lately the weekly Poor Box collection is around $110.00, the resources required to assist the needy are far more
extensive. Last year, for example, more than $19,500 was spent by COTLF Charities organization in support of the poor
and needy in our parish territory. Thank you for considering providing a gift of support to assist the most vulnerable.
