Thanks so much to all those who have patiently awaited our air conditioning repairs. I am most grateful to each and every person who gives of their time to come for adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. For those who are not on the schedule, know that you are always welcome to come to the chapel and pray, Monday through Thursday, from the end of Mass until 9:00 p.m., until 5:00 on Fridays, and 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays. This week we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, the feast of all those who have reached salvation, yet have not been officially canonized by the Church, followed by All Souls, when we pray for our dead. All Saints is a Holy Day of Obligation; Masses are Tuesday, November 1, at 8:10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. in English, and 8:00 p.m. in Spanish. The following day we will have an All Souls day Mass at 12:00 noon in English, and then a bilingual Mass at 5:30 p.m., at the Angleton cemetery, followed by a blessing of the graves. Thanks to all of you who bought over 15 cookbooks at the bazaar. The books were worth the wait! Again, I thank Rita Hunter and Dana Ernst, who worked so diligently on this project, as well as all those who contributed. We got LOTS of recipes, and I’m sure that everyone will find things that will become new family favorites. They will be on sale, at $20 each or two for $35, in the gathering area the weekends of November 12-13 and 19-20. I already know what my sisters will be receiving from me this Christmas! Fr. Maurice ¡Hemos reanudado la adoración! Muchas gracias a todos aquellos que han esperado pacientemente las reparaciones de nuestro aire acondicionado. Estoy muy agradecido a todas y cada una de las personas que dan de su tiempo para venir a adorar al Santísimo Sacramento.

Esta semana celebramos la solemnidad de Todos los Santos, la fiesta de todos aquellos que han alcanzado la salvación, pero que aun no han sido oficialmente canonizados por la Iglesia, seguida por la de los fieles difuntos, que es cuando oramos por nuestros difuntos. El día de Todos los Santos es un Día de Precepto, las misas son el martes, 1 de noviembre a las 8:10 a.m. y las 6:30 p.m. en Inglés, y las 8:00 p.m. en español.

Gracias a todos ustedes que compraron más de 15 libros de recetas de cocina en la Jamaica. ¡Valió la pena esperar Los libros!

All are welcome. 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time 31 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Reflection by Deacon Luis Hernandez Recently my wife Lina and I have been preparing a young couple for marriage. As we were reviewing the material to be presented, Lina told me that it did not feel right that we were going to teach some things that we really do not practice. The fact is that, although Lina and I have been happily married for over 35 years, we are not a perfect couple. My response was that someone had to give this preparation and that at least we could say that we are not a very good example and to follow not what we do but what we teach. The Gospels of previous weeks told us about how Jesus had been tested by the Scribes and Pharisees. Today we hear Jesus’ opinion about them. They believed to be an example for the people, and they were, but in a way totally opposite to what they imagined. Jesus does not deny their authority, because they “have taken their seat on the chair of Moses,” but criticizes the way they live because “they preach but they do not practice.” This applies to all who occupy any position of authority: politicians, judges, teachers, etc. The most effective way of teaching is to practice what is taught. It would seem that Jesus wants to keep his followers from falling into the same mistake, that his teachings be reduced to words only, that the future leaders would resemble the past ones. That is why he changes the concept of authority for one of service. The apostles, their successors, and indeed all of us who are baptized, must evangelize following the recommendation of Jesus: “The greatest among you must be your servant.” The proper characteristic of a Christian is not arrogance but humility. It is not enough to say that we have faith, we must practice it. Let us receive the word of God, “not as a human word but, as what it really is, the word of God, which is now at work in us who believe.” Reflexión por Diacono Luis Hernandez Recientemente mi esposa Lina y yo hemos estado preparando a una pareja para el matrimonio. Al estar revisando el material que usamos, Lina me dijo que no se sentía bien de que fuéramos a enseñar algunas cosas que realmente no practicamos. Y es que, a pesar de que Lina y yo hemos estado felizmente casados por más de 35 años, no somos una pareja perfecta. Mi respuesta fue que alguien tenía que dar esta preparación y que cuando menos podríamos decir que nosotros no somos muy buen ejemplo y que siguieran no lo que hacemos sino lo que enseñamos. Los evangelios de semanas anteriores nos narraron como Jesús había sido probado por los Escribas y Fariseos. Hoy escuchamos la opinión de Jesús sobre ellos. Ellos creían ser un ejemplo para el pueblo, y lo eran, pero de una manera totalmente contraria a lo que imaginaban. Jesús no niega su autoridad, porque están “sentados en la cátedra de Moisés”, pero critica la forma en que viven porque “dicen una cosa y hacen otra.” Esto se aplica para todos los que ocupamos cualquier puesto de autoridad: políticos, jueces, maestros, etc. La manera más eficaz de enseñar es practicando lo que se enseña. Parecería que Jesús quiere evitar que sus seguidores caigan en los mismos errores, que sus enseñanzas sean reducidas solo a palabras, que los guías del futuro se parezcan a los del pasado. Por eso cambia el concepto de autoridad y lo sustituye por el de servicio. Los apóstoles, sus sucesores, y en realidad todos nosotros los bautizados, debemos evangelizar siguiendo la recomendación de Jesús: “Que el mayor entre ustedes sea su servidor.” Lo propio del cristiano no es la arrogancia sino la humildad. No es suficiente decir que se tiene fe, es necesario practicarla. Acojamos la Palabra de Dios, “no como palabra humana, sino como lo que realmente es: palabra de Dios, que sigue actuando en nosotros los creyentes.” Woman to Woman Retreat January 13-15, 2012, Christian Renewal Center in Dickinson.

Ever Thought of Being a Reader at Mass? A Lector Workshop is planned for Tuesday, November 8, at 7:00 p.m. “The Lord has given me a well-trained tongue, that I may speak to the weary a word that will rouse them.” Is 50:4 The Ministry of Reader (Lector) is a vital role to the full, conscious, active participation of the assembly’s worship. The task of a lector is to read in such a way that God’s people, gathered together for worship, may best take the words of scripture to heart, mind and spirit. Lectors, in a very real sense, become a prophet-one who speaks for God. Therefore, while it is a simple ministry, it is not simple in the sense that it is easy to do well or can be done with little energy or effort. If you are a lover of the word of God and interested in delving more deeply into the mystery of God’s presence in the word through the revealed word and you have adequate reading skills, you are invited to discern a call to serve in this ministry. Please call the Parish Office to sign up for the upcoming workshop, where the theology of this ministry and the skills necessary to perform them properly, will be addressed. Audition and practice materials will also be distributed. 4-week series on the Revised Roman Missal planned The Greatest Event on Earth the celebration of the Mass As part of the ongoing preparation for the upcoming changes in the Mass with the Revised Roman Missal, a 4-week series on the Mass will be offered on Tuesdays, at 9:30 a.m., in Room SB-2, beginning on November 8. Come delve more deeply into the meaning of the Celebration of the Eucharist and understand why the Eucharist, and our participation at Mass, is so central to the faith of all Catholic Christians. This is Catholicism 101 at its best. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Using talents If we use God’s talents, we shall find that they become multiplied in the use. We thought we had two, —Richard Meux Benson we find we have five.
