Ever Wonder –
The word Tabernacle is known in
Hebrew as Miskan meaning to
“dwell”, “rest” or “to live-in” referring to the [In-dwelling] Presence of
God. In the Old Testament, Moses
(according to God’s instructions) built a tabernacle or a dwelling for the Ark of the Covenant that
held the tablets of the Law. The tabernacle represented God’s throne on earth and was a reflection
of the temple of heaven. Today because of God’s
generous gift of his presence in the Eucharist, Jesus continues to “tabernacle” (or make his dwelling) with his people on earth. We reserve the Eucharist in the tabernacle, God’s throne on earth. In
scripture we find references such as “Behold, the
dwelling of God is with men.” Revelations 21:3
Preparing for Christ Advent Study
Are we ready for the King? Are our hearts ready
to receive our Savior?
The four weeks leading up to Christmas should
be a time of reflection, meditation and preparation. This study will concentrate on the Sunday
readings and incorporate the ancient method of
Lectio Divina (praying the scriptures).
The study will be held weekly Tuesday evenings
at 7 PM Nov 26 through Dec 16 and Wednesday
mornings at 9 AM beginning Nov 27 through
Dec 17. Cost is $10 for study guide. The class
will run 90 minutes and include a video presentation by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ. To register or for
more information please contact Sandy Fountain
at [email protected] or 919-604-8966.

The Habitat house currently under construction
has been named the Pope Francis House. See

about the Pope Francis House. This is the first
time the Catholic Coalition has fully sponsored a

support! Next year’s Habitat house will be built
in Garner. Your donations to Share Sunday support wonderful humanitarian works, including
our parish’s monthly donation to Habitat. There
is still work to be done. The exterior of the Pope
Francis house is just about finished but there are
a lot of inside jobs still to do. If you are interested in helping, please call or e-mail: Sharon Daley-Padfield, 919-772-7211 or
[email protected].

“When one finds a worthy wife, her
value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has
an unfailing prize.” Do we value
the prize we have in our spouse
enough to take time to enjoy it?

Across the country, work is being done to fight
poverty at its roots in places that offer inadequate
education, tolerate unaffordable housing, and turn
away from communities in need. The Catholic
Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is
justice and charity in action through the Church.
CCHD funds local community groups that work to
change the systems that keep them in poverty.
Through CCHD and its beneficiaries, we manifest
Catholic social teaching and carry out Jesus’ mission to “bring glad tidings to the poor. / to proclaim liberty to captives / and recovery of sight to
the blind, / to let the oppressed go free” (Lk 4:18).
In the last 10 years, nearly $1,000,000 in grant
funding has been distributed to local organizations
in our diocese. Your support during the November collection will create lasting change. Defend
human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection.
Bishop Burbidge will celebrate the annual Mass
for the Deceased Bishops, Priests and Deacons
of the Diocese of Raleigh on Tuesday, November
18 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in
Newton Grove at 11 AM at the altar in the parish
cemetery. The faithful are most welcome to attend
the Mass, as we pray for those Bishops, Priests
and Deacons who so faithfully served the mission
of Christ and His Church throughout North Carolina. The Mass will then conclude with the blessing
of the graves of the deceased clergy buried in
throughout the parish cemetery. In the event of
inclement weather, the Mass will be celebrated in
the parish church.
The Office of African Ancestry
Ministry and Evangelization invites everyone to join us for our annual African Heritage Celebration
on Sun. Nov. 23 at 2 PM at Holy
Cross Catholic Church, 2438 S. Alston Ave,
Durham. Bishop Michael F. Burbidge is our principal celebrant for Mass which will begin our day of
highlighting our African Ancestry cultures and traditions. For more details, please contact the Diocesan AAMEN office.
Fifth Annual Love My Life Youth
Rally
On Saturday, January 17 at 10:30

for more information on this awesome, spirit filled
event. The Diocesan Respect Life mass will immediately follow at noon. All of these events will
be held in a heated tent!

PREPÁRENSE
Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses son de
sus primeros escritos, y fueron motivadas por su
creencia y la de toda la primera comunidad cristiana de que el regreso de Cristo era inminente, y por
eso sería una tontería dar tiempo o atención a otras cosas.
Con el pasar del tiempo, ese fervor comenzaba
a disminuir un poco. Hoy día, cuando escuchamos
estas lecturas sobre el fin del mundo, podemos
preguntarnos si de veras creemos que Cristo va a
venir entre nosotros como “un ladrón en la noche” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). Si la respuesta es
“Sí”, ¿debemos, o no, dejar nuestra
planificación a largo plazo, deshacernos de nuestros calendarios y agendas, y suspender los
ahorros para la educación universitaria de nuestros
hijos? Seguro que no. Pero, lo que sí quiere decir
es que deberíamos cambiar nuestra vida y vivir
como hijos de la luz e iluminar el mundo a nuestro alrededor con la luz del Evangelio. Entonces,
en aquel día, cuando los detalles de nuestra rutina
diaria ya no importen, estaremos listos para encontrar nuestra paz y seguridad en Cristo Jesús.
Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
Nuestro propio mundo cambia; va y viene. Un día
dejamos de sentarnos en las piernas de mamá y de
papá o dejamos de leer los libros de cómics, o
guardamos nuestras muñecas Barbies®, o comenzamos a notar la belleza. Nos pasa más de una vez
en la vida. Pasamos el examen para la licencia de
conducir y en un momento se desploman todos los
límites de nuestra niñez. Nos graduamos y los días
pasan a ser nuestra propia responsabilidad y eso
muchas veces nos parece alarmante. Nos mudamos del hogar de nuestra crianza y caemos en
cuenta de que ya no volveremos a lo mismo que
era antes. Y aunque pensamos que todos esos momentos han ocurrido por esfuerzo propio, la realidad es que no es así. Nada de eso ha sido por
nuestro empeño. Vienen a nosotros como nos llega noviembre al concluir el otoño y, con frecuencia, también así de sombríos. El templo de nuestra
vida, que hemos adornado no sólo con piedras
preciosas sino también con preciosos recuerdos y
entrañables acontecimientos, está siempre desplomándose sin que quede piedra sobre piedra. Y
nunca nadie nos pide permiso.
Mas sin embargo, no tememos tanto a los cambios
que suceden externamente como a los que pueden
reconfigurarnos interiormente. Para los creyentes,
aquellas personas que vivimos al estilo de Jesús,
la fe es lo que nos da la disposición para confiar y
el ánimo para continuar. La visión de Jesús puede
convertirse en el único constante de nuestro mundo siempre cambiable, y en la fuente de vida y
amor cuando todo lo demás se desploma.—Padre Jo-

A lo largo y ancho del país se trabaja para luchar
contra las raíces de la pobreza en lugares que
ofrecen una educación deficiente, toleran viviendas costosas y les dan la espalda a comunidades
que sufren necesidades. Por medio de la Iglesia,
la Campaña Católica para el Desarrollo Humano
(CCHD) es justicia y caridad en acción. La
CCHD financia a grupos comunitarios que trabajan para cambiar los sistemas que los mantienen
en la pobreza. Mediante la CCHD y sus beneficiarios, ponemos de manifiesto la enseñanza católica
y cumplimos con la misión de Jesús para “llevar a
los pobres la buena nueva, anunciar la liberación
a los cautivos y la curación a los ciegos, para dar
libertad a los oprimidos” (Lc 4:18). En los últimos 10 años, alrededor de $1.000.000 de dólares
en becas, se han distribuido a organizaciones locales en nuestra diócesis. Su apoyo producirá
cambios duraderos. Luche contra la pobreza en
América. Defienda la dignidad humana. Contribuya a la Colecta de la CCHD.
