Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lord lifts up all who are falling,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
-Psalm 145:14
GOD IS WITH US
The book of Wisdom tells us that the spirit of God is in
all things. What a wonderful thought, and what a wonderful image to keep in front of us as we travel down life’s
road. For if the path is revealed in the treading, it’s good
to know that God is with us—and all around us—every
step of the way.
But Paul knows that this divine presence is not timid.
Instead, God calls out to us, and Paul prays that we,
along with the Thessalonians, might be made worthy of
that call. And who knows more about God’s call than
Zacchaeus, the tax collector? Jesus called him out of a
tree, for goodness’ sake. Or perhaps more correctly, as
we reflect upon the end of today’s Gospel reading, for
heaven’s sake.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The recent “October count” tracking the statistics of participation at Sunday Mass calls to mind the situations of
churches where it is difficult or impossible for Catholics to
worship freely. This is especially striking in English Catholic history, as freedom of worship was systematically dismantled at the time of the Reformation. It seems that most
English people retained deeply Catholic sympathies
throughout the period of religious upheaval. Catholics who
refused to participate in the public worship of the Church
of England were called “recusants,” and beginning with
the reign of Elizabeth I, they were subject to strict penalties. Recusant literally means “a person refusing to obey a
command.” Most of those laws were in force until the early
1800s, and Catholics were not entirely emancipated from
the duty of Anglican worship until 1829.
Recusants paid heavy fines for not attending the
state church. Holding on to Catholic faith was therefore a
luxury of the very rich, who maintained private chapels,
and sent their daughters and sons to English convents
and monastery schools on the continent. Remarkably,
the first among all British peers, the Dukes of Norfolk, the
hereditary Earls Marshal of England, have never given
up their Catholic faith. Many of these wealthy recusant
families founded the colony of Maryland, and later many
members of the old Catholic families continued on to the
Kentucky frontier in search of greater religious freedom.

World Mission Sunday, organized by the Propagation of
the Faith is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church’s missionary activity
through prayer and sacrifice. Every year the needs of the
Catholic Church in the Mission grows, as new dioceses are
formed, new seminaries are opened, and as areas devastated by war or natural disaster are rebuilt. That is why
involvement and commitment of Catholics is so urgently
needed. About 1,150 mission dioceses receive regular
assistance from funds collected.
Nov 5/6 St. Paul Building Fund & Capital Campaign
This collection will help provide funds to repay the funds
borrowed from the Diocese to build the Religious Education Center.

HEALTH MINISTRY
SICK PARISHIONERS & FRIENDS
Pray for sick family members, friends and parishioners.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in
the United States. Breast cancer is the most common
cancer among American women, except for skin cancers.
About 1 in 8 (12%) of women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. The earlier it is
detected the better the chances that treatment will work.
Most doctors feel mammograms save thousands of lives
each year. The Health Ministry encourages all women of
the parish to talk to their doctors about getting a mammogram.

MINISTERS NEEDED

would be happy to welcome you.
We are in need of Lectors, (Ministers of the Word) for
Mass. and Ministers to the Ill and Homebound and Eucharistic Ministers.

Socks and Tarps
As the winter approaches the need for socks and tarps
becomes the next need that will be addressed. Warm
dry socks on a wet rainy day, when you are living on the
street, must seem like a luxury. If you would like to donate socks “Tube Socks” will work for both men and
women.
The need for tarps to lay on the ground, or to be used by
the homeless to protect from the rain will become a dire
necessity in the near future.
Please put your donated items in the containers in the
entrances of the Church, these are provided by the Social Justice Ministry.

The Bereavement Ministry invites you to participate in
the annual “Mass of Remembrance” to be held on Monday, November 7th at 6:30om, as we remember and pay

Trigesimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
30 de octubre, 2016
DIOS ESTÁ CON NOSOTROS
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El libro de la Sabiduría nos dice que el Espíritu de
Dios está en todas las cosas. ¡Qué maravilloso pensamiento! ¡Qué maravillosa imagen para tenerla frente a
nosotros mientras vamos por el camino de la vida! Si el
camino se revela al andar, es bueno saber que Dios está
con nosotros –y alrededor de nosotros– a cada paso.
Pero Pablo sabe que esta divina presencia no es
tímida. En vez de eso, Dios nos llama, y Pablo ruega
que nosotros, junto con los tesalonicenses, nos hagamos dignos de ese llamado. ¿Y quién sabe más acerca
del llamado de Dios que Zaqueo, el recaudador de impuestos? Todos sabemos que Jesús lo llamó que bajara
nada menos que de un árbol, por su bien. Tal vez más
correctamente, al reflexionar en el final de la lectura del
Evangelio de hoy, podríamos decir que para bien del
cielo.
El 31 de octubre muchos se visten de monstruos y al día
siguiente, los cristianos celebramos a todos los santos. Es
interesante el contraste entre los dos días. Un día recordamos brujas y zombis y al siguiente conmemoramos vírgenes y mártires, religiosos y laicos comprometidos todos con
una cosa en común: su amor a Dios, un amor que se hace
carne en obras de caridad y justicia.
La mayoría de los santos se hicieron santos gracias a
los monstruos que los rodeaban. Los primeros mártires cristianos murieron a mano de los monstruos romanos, muchos
religiosos medievales se refugiaban en Dios para protegerse de los monstruos internos que los tentaban con sexo,
dinero y poder. Y en América muchos como Manuel Chin
Sooj se hicieron testigos de la justicia en manos de los
monstruos de gobiernos injustos.
Los monstruos, en fin no pueden vencer a los santos
por eso en Guatemala el martirio de Manuel Chin Sooj,
animó a los obispos guatemaltecos a unirse con la carta “El
clamor de la tierra” a los esfuerzos de pobres en búsqueda
de tierra y dignidad humana.

ORAR POR LOS DIFUNTOS
Rogar por los vivos y los difuntos como conclusión de las
obras de misericordia espirituales están rogar a Dios por los
vivos y los muertos en clave de síntesis, puesto que la oración es don de Dios en la relación con el hombre: “La Oración, sepámoslo o no, es el encuentro de la sed de Dios y
de la sed del hombre. Dios tiene sed de que el hombre tenga sed de Él. En definitiva, “La oración cristiana es una relación de Alianza entre Dios y el hombre en Cristo y, por
tanto, sostiene todas las obras de Misericordia. En la tradición cristiana, en el famoso díptico de la Regla de San Benito, se encuentra un hilo conductor para comprender el
sentido de la oración y relación con la vida. Este díptico ha
marcado toda la espiritualidad, no solamente la monástica,
cuando dice: “Ora y Trabaja”. Siguiendo este espíritu, San
Ignacio de Loyola explicó el binomio: Oren como si todo
dependiese de Dios y trabajen como si todo dependiese de
ustedes”.
Esta obra de Misericordia pone de relieve, además, la
“Comunión de los Santos” en la Iglesia, la cual aparece
destacada ya en el Catecismo romano, así:
Todo cuanto posee la Iglesia es poseído comúnmente por
los que la integran: Todos los bautizados están constituidos
para el bien de los demás.
En definitiva, se trata de la comunión de los miembros de la
Iglesia, tanto de los que peregrinan aun en la tierra, como
los de los bienaventurados del cielo, calificados ambos como “santos”, gracias a su bautismo.
El Concilio Vaticano II describe esta “comunión de los santos”. Todos en efecto, todos los de Cristo que tienen su
Espíritu, forman una misma Iglesia y están unidos entre sí
en Él.
