Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s Readings: Is 25:6-10a; Ps 23:1-6; Phil 4:12-14, 19-20; Mt 22:1-14 [1-10] What wonderful images we have today of the reign of God! Isaiah speaks to us of a great feast--a heavenly feast--a feast of abundance with rich foods and choice wines. It is the Lord’s own affair, Isaiah explains, when God will unite all nations, dry every tear, and destroy death forever. Then, too, will the entire earth rejoice in the Lord and bask in God’s saving grace. Jesus speaks of heaven in terms of a feast as well. Here, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king’s wedding feast given for his son. This is a feast of abundance also, with the fattened cattle prepared just so. But many of the people invited don’t want to come, so the king invites anyone who would honor his son by their presence there. And Paul tells us that whether we live abundantly or in humble circumstances, we can do all things in the Lord who strengthens us. R.S.V.P. Have you ever been invited to an event so big, so special that you just had to go? What sort of thing could you imagine would keep you from going once you accepted the invitation? Perhaps today’s Gospel message is twofold: not only is the invitation to the heavenly banquet extended to everyone, but we had better take a close look at what could be so important about our other commitments before turning away from the summons to attend. Our participation in the heavenly banquet depends on our response as well as on God’s gracious invitation. Month of the Holy Rosary The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penances because of his lack of success in combating the Albigensian heresy. Mary praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others. (Source: www.catholicculture.org) We will be singing Marian hymns at Mass throughout the month of October. In his parable to the chief priests and elders, Jesus tells a tale of invitation and rejection. A king throws a wedding party for his son, and the invited guests refuse to come. They have their reasons, of course. Some are just too busy--the farm, the business. And others are downright belligerent, grabbing the king’s messengers, abusing them, and killing them in the end. All this in response to the king’s invitation of love. No wonder the king was enraged! COME ONE, COME ALL But the party does go on anyway, and the king welcomes one and all to the feast. Actually, he invites one and all, but not everyone proves welcome. One man comes improperly dressed and ends up in the darkness, prompting Jesus to conclude with the familiar words, “Many are invited, but few are chosen.” It seems that even those who accept the invitation still need to be properly prepared. As we each examine our response to God’s gracious invitation, may we dress in the proper attire for the feast that Isaiah tells us the Lord will provide for all people, when gladness abounds and death is no more. And until heaven’s feast, may we be secure in the feast that the apostle Paul describes. God will fully supply our every need, and certainly, this should be feast enough for us all. Second Collection World Mission Sunday Next weekend our parish will celebrate World Mission Sunday. This year we are invited to reach out and help build the Church in Mongolia, the world’s youngest Catholic Church, as well as local churches throughout the Missions, in the most remote areas across our world. Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor receive practical help and experience God’s love and mercy, His hope and peace. Please keep the Missions in your daily prayers. Please come prepared next weekend to give generously in the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Haga una Promesa. Los pagos de la promesa pueden ser semanales o mensuales. 2. Compre un Ladrillo Conmemorativo. Estos ladrillos estaran en en nuevo patio afuera de las puertas de lado este de la Iglesia. Las formas de compromiso y para comprar un ladrillo estan disponibles en el Centro Parroquial y en las entradas de la iglesia. Les pedimos lleven una forma de compromiso a casa e inviten a sus familiares, amigos, vecinos y compañeros de trabajo a apoyar el futuro de Santa Genoveva. Su apoyo al Proyecto de Mejoramiento Parroquial asegurara la sostenibilidad de la parroquia para las generaciones futuras. Les pedimos sus oraciones por este proyecto. ¡Que Dios continúe bendiciendo a usted y a su familia! Vigésimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lecturas de hoy: Is 25:6-10a; Sal 23:1-6; Fil 4:12-14, 19-20; Mt 22:1-14 [1-10] R.S.V.P. ¿Has sido invitado a una función tan importante, tan grande, tan especial que simplemente tenías que ir? ¿Qué circunstancias podías imaginar que te impidieran ir una vez aceptada la invitación? Quizás el Evangelio de hoy tiene dos caras: no sólo es la invitación al banquete celestial para todos, sino que mejor miremos bien qué otro compromiso sería tan importante que nos impidiera rechazar la invitación. Nuestra participación en el banquete celestial depende tanto de nuestra respuesta como de la invitación generosa de Dios. En su parábola a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos, Jesús dice una historia de invitación y de rechazo. Un rey ofrece una fiesta por la boda de su hijo, y los huéspedes invitados la rechazan. Ellos tienen sus razones, por supuesto. Algunos simplemente están muy ocupados -la granja, los negocios. Y otros, abiertamente beligerantes, agarran a los mensajeros del rey, abusan de ellos y finalmente los matan. Todo esto en respuesta a la amorosa invitación del rey. ¡Claro que el rey tenía que enfurecerse! VENGA UNO, VENGAN TODOS Pero la fiesta se realiza, y el rey da la bienvenida a la fiesta a uno y a todos. En realidad, él los invita a todos, pero no todos son bienvenidos. Un hombre viene incorrectamente vestido y termina en la oscuridad, haciendo que Jesús concluya con la conocida frase: “Muchos son los llamados, pocos los escogidos”. Parece que aun aquellos que aceptan la invitación necesitan estar debidamente preparados. Al examinar cada uno de nosotros nuestra respuesta a la generosa invitación de Dios, usemos el vestido apropiado para asistir a la fiesta que Elías nos dice que el Señor preparará para todos los pueblos, donde abundará la alegría y no existirá la muerte. Y mientras esperamos esa fiesta celestial, sintámonos seguros en la fiesta que describe el apóstol Pablo. Dios suplirá suficientemente todas nuestras necesidades, y ciertamente, eso debe ser suficiente motivo de celebración para nosotros.

Without a doubt, abortion can be one of the most traumatic experiences a person can have. Both before and after an abortion, feelings of fear, anxiety, guilt, panic and depression are common not only for the woman who undergoes the procedure but also for the father of the unborn child, the grandparents, close friends, even medical personnel. For Catholics, the pain of an abortion is intensified by a sense of alienation from God and Church. If you are in this position, we want you to know that your Church understands and cares. We are a loving and forgiving church, reaching out to you in compassion and concern. Above all, we want to help you through the healing process. Accordingly, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles invites you to participate in Project Rachel, a post-abortion reconciliation program. Through the Project priests and counselors have received special training to fully understand the complexity of the situation. A counselor will lead you through the steps to healing and peace and a priest will administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation. For confidential information please contact Mrs. Terry Webb at 818 894 2261 ext 112 or email [email protected] Sessions are on Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. in the Parish Center You can also visit: http://hopeafterabortion.com/ October 12, 2014 55+ Club We Invite you to Join!

Les pedimos seguir orando por estas necesidades. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La Virgen María tiene siglos de estar apareciéndose a los cristianos. Aún antes de que fuese asunta al cielo, ella ya se le había aparecido al apóstol Santiago en Zaragoza, España. Según una antigua leyenda, Santiago llegó a tierra española en el año 40 para predicar el Evangelio. Tuvo poco éxito y desanimado pensaba sacudirse de los pies el polvo de aquella tierra y buscar convertir otras gentes. Mientras estaba en oración, María, la madre de Jesús, se le apareció con palabras de consuelo, ánimo y un pequeño obsequio. Le dio una imagen de ella misma sobre un pilar y con el Niño Jesús en brazos. En esa tierra ella pidió la construcción de un templo donde ella misma sería altar para la gloria de Dios. Santiago mismo construyó la primera iglesia donde hoy se encuentra una gran basílica en honor de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. En el siglo XVIII, el Papa Clemente XII declaró el 12 de octubre como su fiesta en memoria de la llegada de los europeos al continente americano. De María vienen los principios del Día de la Raza.

De acuerdo con una cuenta por-siglo XV Dominicana, Alan de la Roch, María se apareció a Santo Domingo en 1206 después de que él había estado orando y haciendo penitencias severas debido a su falta de éxito en la lucha contra la herejía albigense. María lo elogió por su valiente lucha contra los herejes y luego le dio el rosario como arma poderosa, explicó sus usos y eficacia, y le dijo a predicar a los demás.
