not from power, privilege, or excess.
In Jesus, God became poor for us,

Healing Masses;
Tuesday, November 10, 6:30pm and Friday, November 13, 12pm.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be available during this Mass
for every baptized Catholic over the age of reason. Prayer teams will also be
available immediately after Mass to pray with people for healing and other
needs.
Anointing of the sick primarily is for spiritual healing. Physical healing might occur, but it is
not the main purpose of the sacrament. Certainly the sacrament should not
be expected to
automatically cure the sick person. Such an expectation tends toward superstition (cf.
CC2111). Baptized children below the age of reason cannot commit personal sin and so do
not need anointing of the sick if they are in danger of death.
Rather, when in danger of
death, such children can be given confirmation, for spiritual strengthening and more fully to
initiate them into the Christian religion.
Veterans Day
Tuesday, November 10
Dear Lord: Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and
women who gave their best when they were called upon to
serve and protect their country.
We pray that you will bless them, Lord, for their unselfish
service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedom, our
safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.
Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made, for their
many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.
We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you
will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness.
In Jesus’ name we pray – Amen.

Several years ago Warren Buffet, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and
then the 2nd richest man in the world, after Bill Gates, announced
that he planned to give away the bulk of his fortune to charity.
Buffet’s gift of about 30 billion dollars was the largest act of charitable giving in the history of the United States. The press went
wild and for days it was the lead story in the news. But after a
week or so the news got old and the world moved on to other
newsworthy stories.
Holy Trinity Writers will meet Monday, November
9, at 7pm in Room 201. All writers and those people
interested in writing are welcome. We will work
on improving our craft with hands-on opportunities
to incorporate the lessons provided into our own stories. Bring
paper, pen and a typed sample of your work…along with your
enthusiasm. For more information, contact Debby Giusti or In today’s gospel from Mark 12: 38-44, we hear the story about a
donation greater than that of Warren Buffet. A poor widow [email protected] or (770) 631-9347.

God bless you for your continuing generosity!
Here we are 2000 years later still pondering the widow’s donation
to the temple. Why? Because this nameless widow gave a gift of
overwhelming generosity. It had little monetary value but it represented total sacrifice. She gave God everything she had. The poor
widow was blessed because she placed herself in the hands of God.
Yes, Warren Buffet is a very generous man. But his gift did not
disadvantage him. He will never go to bed hungry. He will never
be homeless. His children will always be comfortable. He gave a
lot but the widow gave it all.
“For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for
your sake he became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8: 9.
God with the heart of a father and a mother,
you care for the poor,
give justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
In your Son Jesus you have shown us how
to give not from our surplus but ourselves.
Confound our calculations
and change our self-interest
into generous sharing,
so that our way of giving may become like yours,
not counting the cost.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
8 de Noviembre 2015
Trigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La fe alarga la mirada:
Las dos viudas que aparecen en las lecturas de hoy tienen en común
algo más que su viudez. En ambas brillan la generosidad, la capacidad
de arriesgar algo en el nombre de Dios, y el poder ver más allá de lo
que alcanzan nuestros ojos. La fe alarga la mirada, porque la mirada
del cuerpo llega únicamente hasta decir: "Se está acabando la harina"
ó "Sólo me queda este par de monedas." La fe en cambio ve que
el Dueño de la harina es también mi Dueño, y que el Dios de toda
riqueza es el que recibe mis limosnas. La falta de generosidad es en
realidad una forma de miopía espiritual, y sólo puede ser corregida
cuando los ojos son operados para que puedan ver no sólo la harina
que se va sino las bendiciones que llegan.
Típicamente, una persona que sufre miopía en sus ojos del cuerpo,
puede ver bien lo que tiene en sus propias manos; pero le cuesta
discernir lo que está a unos pocos pasos, aunque incluso esté cerca.
Lo mismo sucede aquí: Dios está cerca, sus bendiciones están próximas, pero la miopía de nuestras almas sólo siente seguro lo que puede
controlar, o sea lo que tiene en el poder de sus manos.
Darlo todo:
Jesús había llegado casi al final de su misión en esta tierra cuando
sucedió la escena de la viuda y el templo. Creo que es importante que
descubramos un paralelo que se da ahí. La ofrenda de la viuda no es
sólo muy generosa; es "todo lo que ella tenía para vivir." No sólo dio
mucho; lo dio todo. Darlo todo es también el rasgo distintivo del amor
de Cristo que precisamente habló de "dar la vida por los amigos,"
como señal del amor verdadero. Jesús es extremista en su modo de
amar, y ello viene como medicina a este mundo en que tantos son
extremistas en su manera de odiar. A la locura de tantos seres
humanos que entregan sus vidas sobre el altar del odio Cristo quiso
oponer la locura de un amor que es capaz de entregar la propia vida
para dar vida.
Pobreza y generosidad:
Las dos viudas de las lecturas de hoy eran personas con necesidad.
Tenían poco pero fueron capaces de dar mucho: ¿no es irónico?
Es una ironía feliz que ayuda a contrarrestar la otra ironía, la que es
triste: a menudo el que más puede dar es el que menos colabora.
Alguien dijo: "¿Y es que esperabas otra cosa? Si son ricos es porque
no han compartido; ¿por qué habrían de empezar ahora?" El punto
último entonces es: ¿tenemos nuestras cosas o son ellas las que nos
tienen a nosotros? Parece que si uno no puede disponer de sus bienes
es porque en realidad no los posee. En ese sentido parece más dueño
de sí el que es capaz de entregar más de sí. Amén.

A Journey of Conversion
For those wanting to be Catholic ∙ Those needing to complete their
Sacraments - Anyone wanting to learn more about the Catholic Faith
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Helping you to live a Gospel inspired life in an increasingly secular world
Have you been coming to Mass for awhile and think, “what does it mean to be Catholic?” Are you
interested in finding out what Catholics really believe? Join us for Inquiry. Now might be the perfect
time to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm. All sessions are informal and completely commitment free.
The RCIA meets Wednesday evenings 6:30 -8:00pm.
For more information contact Joanne @678-466-1738 or
[email protected]
Our RCIA topic this week (Nov 11):
The Four Last Things:
Death, Judgment, Heaven & Hell
“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in
a cloud with power and great glory.” (Luke 21:27)
Upcoming classes include:
Nov 18 Advent & the Liturgical Year
Nov 25 No class, Thanksgiving Break
Dec 2 Sin & Grace
Dec 9 Incarnation/The Sacramental Life
As we come to the end of the Church liturgical year,
we are asked to consider the end times, our own as
well as the world's. From All Saints and All Souls
Days in the beginning of the month to the Feast of
Christ the King at the end, our Mass Readings in
November remind us that we all are on pilgrimage
towards eternal life with God.
