Sacramental Assistance Deacon/Diácono Father John Reynolds Dave Cresswell
From Fr. Shawn Tunink, Associate Pastor: Marriage and the end of the world… the clas-sic combination. While this thought may create some light-hearted jokes among spouses, our readings today take this connection very serious-ly. As beautiful as marriage is, it’s more of a “coming attraction” preview of not just the end of this world, but the beginning of life in the new world to come. In today’s Gospel, Jesus says that, in heaven, people “neither marry nor are given in marriage.” If marriage is a holy sacrament, why is there no marriage in heaven? Well, there is. Now, I’m not contradicting Jesus here. In heaven there is mar-riage, but there’s just one marriage. All of us will be “married” to God. As intimate as the connec-tion is between husband and wife on earth, this is only a sign of the intimacy that we will have with God in heaven. God wants to marry us. That’s the story of the entire Bible in a nutshell. In this world, our love is limited. But in heaven, our love with be perfected. It’s not that we won’t know our earthly spouse(s) in heaven; it’s just that we will be able to know and love everyone who ever lived. This thought was far from the mind of those questioning Jesus in the Gospel and I fear that it is often far from our minds as well. If we know that we are meant to live forever in marital intimacy with God and all our brothers and sisters, then we ought to ask ourselves how we’re doing right now with these relationships. Maybe your relationship with God needs a second honey-moon right now. Marriage takes effort on our part. Scripture refers to the end of the world as “the consummation of the ages.” If you understand that we are made for marriage with God, then death and the end of this world is indeed “a consumma-tion devoutly to be wished.”

Scripture Readings for Week of November 11-17
Mon/Lun: Wisdom 1:1-7; Luke 17:1-6 Tue/Mar: Wisdom 2:23-3:9; Luke 17:7-10 Wed/Mie: Wisdom 6:1-11; Luke 17:11-19 Thur/Jue: Wisdom 7:22b-8:1; Luke 17:20-25 Fri/Vie: Wisdom 13:1-9; Luke 17:26-37 Sat/Sab: Wisdom 18:14-16; 19:6-9; Luke 18:1-8 Sun/Dom: Malachi 3:19-20a; 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12; Luke 21:5-19
El matrimonio y el fin del mundo... la combina-ción clásica. Mientras este pensamiento puede crear algunas bromas alegres entre las parejas, nuestras lecturas de hoy toman muy en serio esta conexión. Por hermoso que sea el matrimonio, es más una vista previa de "una atracción venidera" no solo del fin de este mundo, sino del comienzo de la vida en el nuevo mundo por venir. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice que, en el cielo, las personas "ni se casan ni se dan en matri-monio". Si el matrimonio es un sacramento sagra-do, ¿por qué no hay matrimonio en el cielo? Bueno, si lo hay. Ahora, no estoy contradiciendo a Jesús aquí. En el cielo hay matrimonio, pero solo hay un matrimonio. Todos nosotros estaremos "casados" con Dios. Tan íntima como la conexión es entre marido y mujer en la tierra, esto es solo una señal de la intimidad que tendremos con Dios en el cielo. Dios quiere casarse con nosotros. Esa es la historia de toda la Biblia en pocas palabras. En este mundo, nuestro amor es limitado. Pero en el cielo, nuestro amor se perfeccionará. No es que no vallamos a conocer a nuestros cónyuges terre-nales en el cielo; es solo que podremos conocer y amar a todos los que han vivido. Este pensamien-to estaba lejos de la mente de quienes interroga-ban a Jesús en el Evangelio y me temo que a me-nudo también está lejos de nuestras mentes. Si sabemos que estamos destinados a vivir para siempre en la intimidad matrimonial con Dios y con todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas, en-tonces deberíamos preguntarnos cómo nos está yendo ahora con estas relaciones. Tal vez tu rela-ción con Dios necesita una segunda luna de miel en este momento. El matrimonio requiere esfuerzo de nuestra parte. Las Escrituras se refieren al fin del mundo como "la consumación de los siglos". Si entiendes que estamos hechos para casarnos con Dios, entonces la muerte y el fin de este mun-do es de hecho "una consumación devotamente deseada." Padre Shawn Tunink

Ice Cream Social News! After expenses, the profits were $9,114.07!
This amount was added to our year-to-date “Total Collection” and reduced the under budget year-to-
date deficit (both above). Thank you to Sharon Davenport, Betty Battson, and all who came despite the rain to enjoy and support their
St. Patrick Parish family and make a difference!
The weekend family contribution looks low, but we also had several families give cash this time. They were not in our envelope count, but they were a big help to our bottom line which shows
we were much closer to our weekly goal. We ex-press gratitude to those who give when they can and ask for God’s blessing on those who contrib-ute money and on those who contribute prayers
for our parish and for each other.
Sincerely in Christ, Patty Dickinson, Parish Business Manager
