Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
November 15, 2015
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.
— Mark 13:31
My Dear Parishioners,
This weekend we welcome Father Geoffrey Baraan, the Pastor of St. Anne’s
Parish in Union City, to our Parish. He is here on behalf of Bishop Michael Barber,
S.J. to thank us for our participation in the Reclaiming Christ's Mission Together
Campaign and also to invite those who have not yet participated in this
campaign to join in so that we can achieve our goal of $648,101.
I am very grateful to all who have already generously contributed to the
Campaign. Your monthly, quarterly, and annual pledges can be sent directly to:
Reclaiming Christ’s Mission Together
Diocese of Oakland
2121 Harrison Street, Suite 100
Oakland, CA 94612
Envelopes are available at the exits of the Church and also in the Parish Office.
The other day I was so touched by one of our parishioners who came and gave
me an envelope with $2,000.00 for the Capital Campaign. She told me, “I don’t have
much. I live on a fixed income but this is what I have. I want to give to help our
diocese to advance the mission of Christ.”
Remember, equal sacrifice—not equal amounts. Each of us needs to ask
ourselves, “what is a sacrificial gift from me and what can I contribute to this
Campaign.”
Please pray that our Mission is successful. Each one of us is a Christian steward
who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible way,
shares them with others, and returns them with an increase to the Lord.
In summary: Parish Goal:
$648,101.56
Received:
$270,591.23
% of Goal reached:
41.75%
We have received $13,701.83 back from the Diocese for our Parish so far.
With a grateful heart,
Father Tom

for students to excel academically and develop as a
spiritually centered individual. You will have the
opportunity to meet the Kindergarten teacher and tour the
classroom. Priority registration will be given to all that
attend. Additionally, childcare will be provided if needed.
I look forward to seeing any interested parishioners!

GETTING THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES
“It’s going to get worse before it gets better” is a
phrase that prepares us to buckle up for a rough ride. We
know that enduring a difficult time will require some
strenuous physical or emotional energy on our part before
we experience the calm of normality. Our past experience
tells us that we can endure the difficult pressure better
when we know how long it will last and if we know that
something better awaits us. Getting through the tough
times while holding to the promise that awaits us is the
message of this weekend’s readings. They point toward
the promises of God’s kingdom that will come after the
maelstroms and chaos of this world.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Según el calendario Azteca, las profecías de Nostradamus y el pronóstico de
una súper computadora, el mundo que conocemos que debía haber terminado el
21 de diciembre de 2012. En cuanto a que puedo decir, todavia estamos aqui!
Durante siglos los seres humanos han estudiado las estrellas, buscado señales y
escudriñando la Sagrada Escritura para así descubrir cuándo el mundo llegará a
su final.
Los discípulos de Cristo también quieren saber eso mismo: “Dinos cuándo sucederá la gran destrucción y cuál será la señal de que ya están por cumplirse todas estas
cosas” (Marcos 13:3).
Jesús responde con varios signos de los tiempos: guerras, terremotos, hambre, persecuciones, etcétera. Como bien sabemos, estas cosas suceden en cada generación. A fin de cuentas, Jesús dice que ni
los ángeles, ni él mismo saben el día o la hora del fin del mundo (Mateo 24:36), por tal motivo, hay
que estar siempre en vela, haciendo la voluntad de Dios. Si estamos obrando el bien y promoviendo
el Evangelio de Cristo, no importa que se acabe el mundo. A fin de cuentas, eso es lo que anhelamos
y esperamos, para que el Reino de Dios renueve la faz de la tierra.
