Welcome to our Eucharistic Celebration
Happy November! As Daylight Saving Time ends and we come again to darker evenings, I always feel the looming pres-ence of winter. While it is still almost a month away, winter sneaks in and out this time of year as fall, like the reluctant leaves on the trees, continues to hang on. I hope you have been able to enjoy some of the gorgeous fall days we had following that very unusual duo of rainy days. God’s beauty abounds and is prayer itself: “the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12. This coming Tuesday, November 9, is the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, which is the Cathedral church of Rome, sometimes called the “Mother Church” for Catholicism because it is the par-ish church of the pope who is also Bishop of Rome. As we continue to grow the “Friends of the Cathe-dral” here at St. Thomas Aquinas, there will be a gathering in Righini Hall at 5:30pm on Tuesday for all who are interested in supporting the preservation of our wonderful, historic buildings: the church, rectory and school. We are moving forward in the process of being placed in the National Historic Registry. If you are interested, please come and hear more! Veterans Day is this coming Thursday, November 11. We will celebrate one mass that day at 9:00am with special prayer for all our veterans, both living and deceased. It is important to acknowledge the personal generosity of all those who choose to serve in the military, often without knowing where it will take them or what will be asked of them. For some, the cost is their very lives, for others their health and for all it is the precious gifts of time and energy, spent for the good of others. May God bless and watch over all our veterans, keep safe those in harm’s way and place gratitude in the hearts of all in our country whom they serve. As I’m writing this the Glasgow Climate Summit is underway and government leaders are wrestling over research and commitments around curbing the effects of global warming. We have seen locally the change of climate that is resulting. In his encyclical, Laudato Si, On Care for Our Common Home, Pope Francis raises awareness on this concern for all people, especially the poor who are most effected. Quoting Blessed Pope Paul VI, he refers to the ecological crisis as a “tragic consequence of unchecked human activity: ‘Due to an ill-considered exploitation of nature, humanity runs the risk of destroying and becoming in turn a victim of this degradation.’” Pope Paul VI wrote that in 1971. Thankfully, emphasis on this crisis continues to grow, though slowly. The Glasgow Summit again hopes to tackle the man-made part of this crisis and set some new standards to help curtail it. Let us pray with peoples world-wide for greater respect for all of creation and the strength and insight to make the changes we need to make. Part of the concluding prayer of Pope Francis’ encyclical is: “Triune Lord, wondrous community of infinite love, teach us to contemplate you in the beauty of the universe, for all things speak of you. Awaken our praise and thankfulness for every being that you have made. Give us the grace to feel profoundly joined to everything that is.”
Blessings to all this 32nd week in Ordinary Time!
FROM FATHER CHUCK
¡Feliz noviembre! Cuando termina el horario de verano y volvemos a las noches más oscuras, siempre siento la presen-cia inminente del invierno. Si bien todavía falta casi un mes, el invierno entra y sale en esta época del año, ya que el otoño, como las hojas reticentes de los árboles continúan en él. Espero que hayan podido dis-frutar de algunos de los hermosos días de otoño que tuvimos después de ese inusual dúo de días lluvio-sos. La belleza de Dios abunda y es la oración misma: "los montes y los collados se pondrán a cantar an-te ti, y todos los árboles del campo aplaudirán". Isaías 55:12. El próximo martes 9 de noviembre es la Fiesta de la Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán, que es la igle-sia Catedral de Roma, a veces llamada la "Iglesia Madre" para el catolicismo porque es la iglesia parro-quial del Papa que también es Obispo de Roma. A medida que continuamos creciendo el grupo los "Amigos de la Catedral" aquí en St. Thomas Aquinas, habrá una reunión en el Salón Righini a las 5:30 pm el martes para todos los que estén interesados en apoyar la preservación de nuestros maravillosos edificios históricos: la iglesia, rectoría y la escuela. Estamos avanzando en el proceso de ser inscritos en el Registro Histórico Nacional. Si está interesado, ¡venga y escuche más! El Día de los Veteranos es el próximo jueves 11 de noviembre. Celebraremos una misa ese día a las 9:00 am con una oración especial por todos nuestros veteranos, tanto vivos como fallecidos. Es importan-te reconocer la generosidad personal de todos aquellos que eligen servir en el ejército, a menudo sin sa-ber adónde los llevará o qué se les pedirá. Para algunos, el costo es su propia vida, para otros su salud y para todos son los preciosos regalos de tiempo y energía, gastados por el bien de los demás. Que Dios bendiga y cuide a todos nuestros veteranos, mantenga a salvo a los que se encuentran en peligro y pon-ga gratitud en los corazones de todos en nuestro país a quienes sirven. Mientras escribo esto, la Cumbre del Clima de Glasgow está en marcha y los líderes gubernamentales están luchando por la investigación y los compromisos en torno a frenar los efectos del calentamiento glo-bal. Hemos visto a nivel local el cambio de clima resultante. En su encíclica, Laudato Si, Sobre el cuidado de nuestra casa común, el Papa Francisco crea conciencia sobre esta preocupación por todas las perso-nas, especialmente por los pobres que son los más afectados. Citando al Beato Papa Pablo VI, se refiere a la crisis ecológica como una “consecuencia trágica de la actividad humana desenfrenada: 'Debido a una explotación mal considerada de la naturaleza, la humanidad corre el riesgo de destruir y convertirse a su vez en víctima de esta degradación”. El Papa Pablo VI escribió eso en 1971. Afortunadamente, el énfasis en esta crisis sigue creciendo, aunque lentamente. La Cumbre de Glasgow espera nuevamente abordar la parte provocada por el hombre de esta crisis y establecer algunos nuevos estándares para ayudar a redu-cirla. Oremos con los pueblos de todo el mundo por un mayor respeto por toda la creación y la fuerza y la perspicacia para realizar los cambios que necesitamos hacer. Parte de la oración final de la encíclica del Papa Francisco es:
“Señor Trino, maravillosa comunidad de infinito amor, enséñanos a contemplarte en la belleza del universo, porque todas las cosas hablan de ti. Despierta nuestra alabanza y agradecimiento por cada ser que has hecho. Danos la gracia de sentirnos profundamente unidos a todo lo que es”
¡Bendiciones a todos en esta semana 32ª del Tiempo Ordinario!
