We were privileged to have Bishop Richard Garcia as our presider, our Mission choir, and the Knights of Columbus present at a bilingual Mass calling together our entire faith community. We were deeply honored by the presence of Pat Nulton who began our service by calling forth God’s Holy Spirit through a Native American drum rite and Kate Zweifel blessed the service with a traditional smudging ritual. We are interested in calling forth any and all members and friends of Mission parish that make present our Native American community through their family heritage and history. If you are aware of a family link to our indigenous community, here or elsewhere, we have placed a book near the front of the church where you can record your family heritage and further information. Please share your history as you are able. Photos © 2015 George L. Westlund PAGE 2 Parish Center Administration Rev. Russell Brown, Pastor Rev. Braulio Valencia, Parochial Vicar Rev.

Join us to celebrate Veteran’s Day with great entertainment and prayer. Free-will offering will be taken. Leading others to God’s heart is Trevor’s primary mission. Trevor uses song, story and prayer, as the vehicle for worship, meditation and healing. Trevor has recorded seven albums, In This Place, Before You, the Worship Project, Eyes to You, Christ in Me Arise, In Shadow and In Light, and Seven Bridges Way. He has many songs published by Oregon Catholic Press, (Spirit and Song.com) and World Library Publications, WLP, including the Mass for the Healing of the World, which have come from over 25 years of active ministry. All of this work has come from a deep place of prayer and surrender, pointing the Praying Pilgrim to the realization that we are all loved, immensely, by our Almighty Creator. Trevor feels that the gifts given to us by God must be returned in a good way; always pointing back to the Giver. “We are not good because of what we have or what we do, we are good because the Creator loves us with an unending, unexplainable love; calling us, ‘his beloved.’” Also, join us for a SPECIAL VETERAN’S DAY MASS at 12 noon on Wednesday, November 11th, with music led by Trevor.

Jesus and the disciples were seated near the collection box and watched as people dropped money in. Among the people was a widow who had very little money but gave two copper coins. The coins weren’t worth very much, especially in contrast to the amount dropped into the boxes by rich people. But Jesus pointed out to his friends that the woman’s offering was especially valuable. She gave not from her extra money, but from the only money she had.

The memories of our Harvest Drive are warm and wonderful. Once again we completely filled the back of a pickup truck with your generosity.What a giving parish is Old Mission.! We feel fortunate to belong. The residents of Judson Terrace Homes thank you gratefully. “He has filed the hungry with good things” - Canticle of Mary GIVING ALL Trusting widows play a significant role in this weekend’s readings. At the point of poverty, when giving even the smallest amount of what they had could imperil their health and well-being, they trusted God and gave anyway. What is important about their giving is not what or how much they gave, but how they gave it. Without selfishness, they gave to help others. Their giving was from the heart, with little hope or intention of receiving any sort of reward or recognition for their generosity. The monetary values of the widows’ gifts were small, but their value measured in the Kingdom was priceless. There is a significant similarity between their gift and the gift Jesus gave each of us. The widows offered their lives for God. Jesus offered his life for us. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. The Little Ones Jim Burrows Interested in Becoming Catholic?

Es importante que nos preguntemos g ahora de qué manera nos estamos preparando para vivirlo intensamente y con provecho espiritual. Creo que sería muy y útil pensar en los dos sentidos propios de la misericordia. Por una parte es una necesidad vital de todo ser humano el ser visto y tratado con misericordia y cuanto más fallamos más urgente g se hace el experimentar la misericordia que nos viene de Dios o de los demás. Pero por otro lado, y para ser jjustos, debemos ser g generosos en dar misericordia en abundancia a todos los seres que nos rodean, no solo ayudando y al necesitado, sino también siendo compasivos a la hora de jjuzgar g las obras o la vida de los demás. Jesús promete una gran g bendición a los que practican esto: “Dichosos los misericordiosos porque encontrarán misericordia.” Y qué bendición más g grande sería al final de nuestra vida encontrarnos a Jesús no como un jjuez severo y riguroso, g sino como jjuez misericordioso que nos disculpe nuestras muchas fallas por el simple hecho de que fuimos misericordiosos con los demás. Si por el contrario, somos críticos, severos y crueles con nuestros semejantes, j esa misma severidad la vamos a encontrar con Jesús al final de nuestros días. Cfr. Mt.25, 41. P.

Esta es una horrible costumbre, puesto que ni a Dios ni a la Iglesia se le debe la limosna, sino el diezmo y no necesariamente económico, esto es, también debemos considerar tiempo y talento. Este diezmo se le da a Dios por medio del mantenimiento de la Iglesia, la ayuda directa a los necesitados, la generosidad con agencias de caridad, etcétera. No importa a quién o cómo damos el diezmo que debemos a Dios, lo que importa es reconocer que no es limosna, es decir, dar de lo que nos sobra. Es dar desde el corazón, compartir, como la viuda del Evangelio, lo que tenemos para vivir. No obstante, muchos somos tacaños con el Señor. En lugar de dar con generosidad, damos poco o damos para hacernos notar. Damos de lo que nos sobra, si acaso damos. Tenemos mucho que aprender de la viuda que se nos presenta en Marcos 12:41-44. Ella, siendo pobre y necesitada, aún así quiso compartir con Dios de lo que tenía para vivir. Casi siempre los pobres son más generosos que los ricos o la clase media. Son ellos quienes nos muestran la generosidad de Dios y nos desafían a hacer lo mismo, a fin de erradicar la pobreza. -Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
