Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
Holy Trinity
welcomes our newest parishioners!
Allen & Amy Chasey
Jason & Vikki Conn
Pedro & Rosalina Leroux
In last Sunday’s gospel, Matthew 22:15-21, the Pharisees and
Herodians try to set Jesus up with a trick question about a conflict
between Roman law and Hebraic law and they fail. Not to be
daunted, they try again. In today’s gospel, Matthew 22:34-40, the
Pharisees attempt to test Jesus on Hebrew law asking, “which commandment in the law is the greatest?" The trick in this question is
that there are over 600 laws given in the Old Testament covering
just about everything. All of them were supposed to be observed
faithfully.
Prayer for Priests
O Jesus,
I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests;
for Your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for Your priests laboring at home or
abroad in distant mission fields;
for Your tempted priests;
for Your lonely and desolate priests;
for Your young priests;
for Your dying priests;
for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.
Jesus answers by quoting two passages from the Torah,
Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18, summarizing the most
important principles of our faith and the Jewish faith. “You shall
love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Jesus tells the Pharisees and reminds us that “The whole law and
the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
But above all I recommend to You
the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priest who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me
Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.
All the commandments focus on our relationships; our relationship
with God and our relationships with each other. God is our creator
and should be the center of our universe. We show our love
for God by keeping the commandments (1 John 5:2). And God
created us in his divine image, “male and female he created
[us]” (Genesis 1:27). If we truly love God with all our hearts, with
all of our souls and with all of our minds, then it is impossible for
us not to love other people because we all are made in the image of
God. St. John tells us in his 1st Letter, “Beloved, let us love one
another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by
God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God,
for God is love” (1 John 4:7-8).
O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart,
and bless them abundantly
in time and in eternity.
Amen.

Almighty and ever-living God,

Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever.
Amen.

11:00 am a 1:00 pm - domingos)
En el evangelio del domingo pasado, Mateo 22: 15-21, los Fariseos y
los del partido de Herodes trataron de tender una trampa a Jesús con
una pregunta insidiosa acerca de un conflicto entre la ley romana y la
ley hebrea, pero fallaron. Sin temor alguno, trataron otra vez. En el
evangelio de hoy, Mateo 22: 34-40, los Fariseos intentaron ponerlo a
prueba con la ley hebrea preguntándole, “¿cuál es el mandamiento más
grande de la ley?” El truco en esta pregunta es que hay más de 600
leyes en el Antiguo Testamento que cubre casi todo y todas ellas están
supuestas a cumplirse fielmente.

Bautizos:
Favor de llamar o pasar por la Oficina parroquial
para anotarse para la plática o para información sobre los bautizos.
Jesús contesta citando dos pasajes del Toral, Deuteronomio 6:5 y Levítico 19:18, resumiendo los principios más importantes de nuestra fe y
de la fe judía. “Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda
tu alma y con toda tu mente. Este es el más grande y el primero de los
mandamientos. Y el segundo es: “Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.” Jesús le dice a los Fariseos y nos recuerda que “Toda la ley y los
profetas se fundan en estos dos mandamientos.”
Cambio de hora: El próximo domingo,
2 de noviembre, es el cambio de hora.
No olvide atrasar su reloj una hora.
Todos los mandamientos están centrados en nuestras relaciones; nuestra relación con Dios y nuestras relaciones con los demás. Dios es
nuestro creador y debe ser el centro de nuestro universo. Nosotros demostramos nuestro amor a Dios al seguir los mandamientos (1 Juan
5:2). Y Dios nos creó a su imagen divina, “varón y mujer nos
creó” (Génesis 1:27). Si realmente amamos a Dios con todo nuestro
corazón, con toda nuestra alma y con toda nuestra mente, entonces es
imposible para nosotros el no amar a otras personas porque todos estamos creados a imagen de Dios. San Juan nos dice en su Primera carta,
“Querido míos, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor viene de Dios;
todo el que ama ha nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. El que no ama no
ha conocido a Dios, pues Dios es amor” (1 Juan 4:7-8).
Dios todopoderoso y eterno,
fortalece nuestra fe, esperanza y nuestro amor.
Podemos hacer con corazones llenos de amor
lo que pides de nosotros
y venir a compartir la vida que prometiste.
Te lo pedimos por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo,
que vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo,
un Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.
Amén.

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Embrace Families ministers are here to
embrace families who have lost a child
through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant
death. We "companion" the family through
this difficult time; surrounding these families with help, support,
and prayer as they grieve the loss of their precious infant.
We can also help the family obtain a Certificate of Life to honor
and remember the brief life of their baby. The baby's name will
then be entered into the Life Register which is housed at the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

SEEK is a gathering of college students on a journey.
It’s a place where we can come together to take on
some of life’s BIGGER questions and, like guides
along the way, learn from one another where wisdom
and experience lead. Life is meant to be lived and in
order to live it to the fullest, we need to heed the
wisdom that calls us to ‘ask, seek and knock’ to
discover who we are, where we’re going
and what motivates us.
