ST. JOAN OF ARC
Message from Father Nelson:
Dear brothers and sisters,
How wonderful is the love of Christ that not only endured physical pain, but also emotional and psychological pain by experiencing what we experience, namely,
disappointments, frustrations, betrayals, misunderstandings, being used, etc. God really took human form
to be able to understand those pains that are far beyond
just physical pain. Because He truly suffered even
greater pains than us, He understands us and has left us
his Body and Blood to strengthen our hearts, and
minds, to let us know that He is with us, and that He
has conquered death. Indeed, in Jesus we all are victorious. Dear friends, allow God to transform you. He is
challenging you not only to be good, and give what
you think is enough. He is calling you to a complete
self-giving. Why? Because that is what He did in Jesus
His only begotten Son for love of you.

VIGIL CANDLE
For Leo Ginga by Dolores
STARTING THIS
WEDNESDAY
NOVEMBER 11 AT
6:30 PM AT THE
HALL OF THE
CHURCH.
WE ARE SELLING
THE HARPER COLLINS STUDY BIBLE
ON THAT DAY.
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time “I say to you, this poor
widow put in more than all the other contributors to the
treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance;
but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her
whole living. ” (Mark 12:43-44) Jesus gets right to the point
– we are all called to give money to support the mission of
the Church, regardless of our circumstance. No gift is too
small or insignificant! Giving money to support the mission
of our local parish is a matter of our faith, just like praying
and participating in parish ministries. When you make a
financial offering, is it from your “first fruits” or from what
is “left over”?
THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
STEWARDSHIP
Give to God from what
He has given us
1 Chronicles 29:12-16
12 Wealth and riches come from you, you are ruler of all, in
your hand lie strength and power, and you bestow greatness
and might on whomsoever you please.
13 So now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your
majestic name,
14 for who am I and what is my people, for us to be able to
volunteer offerings like this? - since everything has come
from you and we have given you only what you bestowed in
the first place,
15 and we are guests before you, and passing visitors as
were all our ancestors, our days on earth fleeting as a shadow and without hope.
16 Yahweh our God, all this wealth, which we have provided to build a house for your holy name, has come from you
and all belongs to you.

32o domingo de tiempo ordinario " Les asegur o que esta
viuda pobre ha echado en el tesoro más que todos los
demás. Éstos dieron de lo que les sobraba; pero ella, de su
pobreza, echó todo lo que tenía, todo su sustento." (Marcos 12:43-44) Jesús va directo al grano - somos
llamados a dar dinero para apoyar la misión de la Iglesia,
sin importar nuestras circunstancias. ¡Ninguna donación es
muy pequeña o insignificante! El dar dinero para apoyar la
misión de nuestras parroquias locales es parte de la fe, así
como orar y participar en los ministerios de la parroquia.
Cuando hace una ofrenda monetaria, ¿viene de sus
"primeros frutos" o viene de lo que "sobra"?
