PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3

The story of this Sunday’s gospel highlights true humility and true charity, this is the main point of Jesus’ gospel. The poor wid-ow, forgetful of herself and of her own needs gave all she had to live on, her last penny, to help others who were in need. She made this sacrifice without publicity and without seeking the praise of her neighbors. While the Scribes sought to earn the re-spect and praise of their fellow-Jews, as well as all the financial gain they could come by from the practice of the external of their religion, this poor widow’s religion was practiced in secret and it was to God alone that she looked for any reward that He might deign to give her. Her generosity shows us that she will live in God’s providence, other-

wise, she wouldn’t give the last penny. She trusted in the same way that God provided for the poor widow of Sarepta,( Conf. 1 King 17:7). God will provide for her in the same way. This passage leads us to reflect on two things of our daily life: first, that sometimes we are afraid of giving to God with generosity, with the temptation of not trusting in Him, in the way that I will not be able to reach my desires and satisfactions; secondly, that giving like the Pharisees, that is the superfluous to the Church. A good steward of God gives with generosity out of his resources no matter what sacrifice he will have to do. This weekend we are launching once again an opportunity for everyone to be involved in different ministries in the parish. You may take home the stewardship pamphlet or if you feel that you are ready to offer your time and talent in a particular ministry check it and return it to the parish as soon as possible. Don’t waste your precious time in things that give no peace and happiness. Invest your time, treasure and talent for your brothers and sisters, there you will find hap-piness. Last Tuesday’s reading St. Paul says: “Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Rom 12:5) The Catechism of the Catholic Church in # 2443 states: “God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and re-bukes those who turn away from them: "Give to him who begs from you, do not refuse him who would borrow from you"; "you received without pay, give without pay." It is by what they have done for the poor that Jesus Christ will recognize His chosen ones. When "the poor have the good news preached to them," it is the sign of Christ's presence.” Example of a Saint: “When her mother reproached her for caring for the poor and the sick at home, St. Rose of Lima said to her: "When we serve the poor and the sick, we serve Jesus. We must not fail to help our neighbors, because in them we serve Jesus.” . Father Mariano Varela, IVE

PHÚC ÂM: Mc 12, 28b-34

"Đó là giới răn thứ nhất, còn giới răn thứ hai cũng giống như giới răn thứ nhất". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Marcô. Khi ấy, có người trong nhóm luật sĩ tiến đến Chúa Giêsu và hỏi Người rằng: "Trong các giới răn điều nào trọng nhất?" Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Giới răn trọng nhất chính là: Hỡi Israel, hãy nghe đây: Thiên Chúa, Chúa chúng ta, là Chúa duy nhất, và ngươi hãy yêu mến Thiên Chúa ngươi hết lòng, hết linh hồn, hết trí khôn và hết sức ngươi. Còn đây là giới răn thứ hai: Ngươi hãy yêu mến tha nhân như chính mình ngươi. Không có giới răn nào trọng hơn hai giới răn đó". Luật sĩ thưa Ngài: "Thưa Thầy, đúng lắm! Thầy dạy phải lẽ khi nói Thiên Chúa là Chúa duy nhất và ngoài Người chẳng có Chúa nào khác nữa. Mến Chúa hết lòng, hết trí khôn, hết sức mình, và yêu tha nhân như chính mình thì hơn mọi lễ vật toàn thiêu và mọi lễ vật hy sinh". Thấy người ấy tỏ ý kiến khôn ngoan, Chúa Giêsu bảo: "Ông không còn xa Nước Thiên Chúa bao nhiêu". Và không ai dám hỏi Người thêm điều gì nữa. Đó là lời Chúa.

XXXII DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO 8 DE NOVIEMBRE 2015

ENTREGA TOTAL Las viudas confiadas juegan un importante papel en las lecturas de esta semana. Aunque eran pobres y el dar aún algo bien pequeño podría poner en peligro su salud y bienestar, confiaban en Dios y daban lo que podían. Lo que es importante sobre sus donativos no es la cantidad que daban, sino que daban algo. Sin egoísmo, daban para ayudar a otros. Su dar salía del corazón, con poca espe-ranza o intención de recibir algún premio o reconoci-miento por su generosidad. El valor monetario de los dones de las viudas eran pequeños, pero su valor en la medida del Reino era inestimable. Hay una gran semejanza entre su regalo y el regalo que Jesús ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. Las viudas ofrecieron sus vidas a Dios. Jesús ofreció su vida por nosotros. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
