Pro-Life Notes
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you
were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.”
—-Jeremiah 1:5 (NABRE 2010 CCD. Used with
permission.)
November 16, 2014
The good news of today’s Gospel is the
extravagance of what is being given us.
All we need to do is be faithful in “small
matters.” The cost of fidelity has no comparison to the reward given.
Thirty-third Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Proverbs 31:10-13
Psalm 128
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
Matthew 25:P14-30 or
25:14-15, 19-21
The Book of Proverbs is a collection of wise advice that was used for instruction in
ancient Israel. Traditionally attributed to Solomon (see
1:1) because of his reputation for great wisdom, many of
these sayings were originally intended for young men.
Their inclusion in the biblical text gives them a wider
audience: all people are called to seek and embrace the
way of the wise. In today’s reading we hear of the value
of “a worthy wife”; this text is sometimes read at funerals as a tribute to a woman whose value is “far beyond
pearls” (v 10). The text reminds us of the importance of
associating with good people in our lives.
Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians reminds us that
there is more to life than this world. As Christians we
anticipate “the day of the Lord” (v 2). As believers we
are “children of the light,” and so we are called to live
lives worthy of our status as God’s children; we are
called to “stay alert and sober” (v 6), not becoming distracted by unimportant things or falling into darkness.
The apostle calls us to “encourage one another” (see v
11) in our common faith.
In the parable of the talents, Jesus calls us to
make good use of what we have been given. The talents
given to each of the servants represent a great amount of
money. One talent was equivalent to approximately
6,000 days’ wages. Each servant was given a different
amount, ’according to his ability” (v 15). The parable
focuses on what each one did with the talents received.
The master accuses the third servant of laziness. The
third servant knew his master was demanding, but he
didn’t even put the money to work in what we would call
a conservative financial plan - “in the bank” (v 27) to
accrue interest; he merely buried the talent in the ground
(v 25). Like him, we are called to make good use of
what has been entrusted to us, for one day we will be
called to give an accounting for our actions.
For reflection: What is my belief about the “day of the
Lord”? How can I prepare for it?
ATTENTION!!!!
Please do not leave bags of clothing for donation in the gathering area. Such donations must be taken to Sweetwater
Mission in Austell or SVDP Thrift Store in Dallas.

THANKSGIVING DAY
MASS
NOVEMBER 27, 2014
10:00 AM
Thanksgiving Day is truly an
American HOLYDAY of obligation. We travel to our ancestral homes to be with family
during the weekend of tradition, thanksgiving, story telling
and getting to know one another and of course the afternoon football game with all the turkey leftovers to munch
on.
The first thanksgiving was celebrated in the fall of 1621.
Later Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a day to
give praise and thanks to God. It wasn’t until 1941 that
Congress made this day a national holiday. The Bible tells
us about the Jewish harvest festival Sukkot (Leviticus
23:39-43). Ellen Frankel’s Encyclopedia of Jewish Symbols states that the pilgrims based their celebration of
Thanksgiving on this biblical feast. As Catholics, our most
perfect way of saying thanks to God is in the Eucharistic
Celebration of the Mass. In fact eucharist is a Greek word
for thanksgiving. We give thanks to God for his works of
creation, redemption and sanctification.
Please make every effort to come to Mass on Thanksgiving Day at 10:00 AM. Bring the entire family. We are
asking that everyone who attends the Thanksgiving
Mass bring a non-perishable item to help stock our food
pantry that will help our needy brothers and sisters
during the upcoming winter months. Baskets will be
provided on the altar for these items.
Mary’s Circle
CCW (Council of Catholic
Women)
will meet on Monday, November 24th at 7:30 p.m.
after 7:00 p.m. Mass
in the St John room.
All women of the Parish are welcome.
Will meet on Wednesday, November 19 at 11 AM in
the Day Chapel to pray the Rosary. Please bring your
lunch and join us for our meeting. Mary’s Circle was
started for the women of the parish who want to be part
of the Council of Catholic Women but are not comfortable driving at night. We would love to welcome new members.
PRAYING PACEM IN TERRIS: But one of the
principal imperatives of the common good is the
recognition of the moral order and the unfailing observance of its precepts. A
" firmly established order
between political communities must be founded on
the unshakable and unmoving rock of the moral law,
that law which is revealed in the order of nature by
the Creator Himself, and engraved indelibly on
men's hearts . . . Its principles are beacon lights to
guide the policies of men and nations. They are also
warning lights—providential signs—which men must
heed if their laborious efforts to establish a new order are not to encounter perilous storms and shipwreck."(85)

BACKPACK WEEKEND FOOD
PROGRAM
Today we will talk about the true spirit of
Thanksgiving. We will focus on being thankful
this time of year for all the blessings from God,
and we will discuss how materialism can lead us
to greed and envy. We will also discuss the
greatest form of thanksgiving we have, the Eucharist, and how that is our way of gathering with
our church family every week to give thanks to
God. Your child will make a list of things that
they are thankful for to put up in the house; be
sure to ask them about it and hang it somewhere
noticeable. Here are some questions to ask your
child after Edge:
x
What are some things in your life that you are
really thankful for?
x
What is your favorite part of thanksgiving?
x
What should our family’s focus be this time
of year?
x
What is something we can do as a family to
help someone in need?
Did you know that some children in
our community go home from
school on weekends with very little
food at home? A Gift of Love Services , through the BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM, furnishes approximately 100 needy children
two meals a day, plus snacks for the weekend (or for
the holidays when they are out of school). Through
your donations, 3 children will be sponsored.
Items needed on continual basis:
Pop tarts
Soup
Canned chicken or tuna
Saltines
Hot & Cold single servings of cereal
Chips
Fruit cups
Beanie Weenies
Juice boxes Pudding snacks Applesauce
Mac & Cheese Cheese or Peanut Butter Crackers
Milk Boxes (non refrigerated)
Items that children can prepare themselves
Donations can be left in a labeled container
in the lobby.
