November 13, 2016 Thirty Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
GOD’S HEALING JUSTICE
An old expression holds that the sun-warmed stone heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only dark, sunless days
are in store for those who do not find a place for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the warmth and light of
God’s healing justice await those who fear the Lord. That’s a pretty comforting notion—especially now in the already
short and growing even shorter days of November. It’s the sun-warmed stone, and then some.
Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we need to do
our fair share. If we are diligent and persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor. Lastly, Luke, too,
tells us to persevere—in faith, this time—and our lives will be secure in God regardless of how we are treated by our
enemies.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — There will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays (Malachi 3:19-20a).
Psalm — The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice (Psalm 98).
Second Reading — Paul speaks of his hard work among the Thessalonians (2 Thessalonians 3:7-12).
Gospel — Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem, the persecution of his followers. But their perseverance will be
their salvation (Luke 21:5-19).

LA JUSTICIA SANADORA DE DIOS
Una antigua expresión sostiene que las piedras calentadas por el sol curan. Tal vez. Pero el profeta Malaquías explica que a aquellos que no encuentran un lugar para Dios en sus vidas sólo le esperan días oscuros, sin sol. El profeta
nos dice que, a la inversa, el afecto y la luz de la justicia sanadora de Dios aguardan a aquellos que temen al Señor. Esa
es una noción bastante consoladora –especialmente ahora durante los días breves, cada vez más breves, de noviembre.
Es la piedra calentada por el sol, y mucho más.
Pablo, igualmente, nos habla de justicia pero señala que esta no es algo pasivo. Para ser tratados con justicia, debemos aportar nuestra parte. Si somos diligentes y perseveramos, seremos recompensados con y por los frutos de nuestra labor. Finalmente, Lucas también nos llama a perseverar –en la fe, esta vez– y nos dice que nuestras vidas estarán
aseguradas en Dios no importa cómo nos traten nuestros enemigos.

The Body,
though one,
has many parts
EMHCs Needed: Holy Family needs additional Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to distribute
the Most Precious Body and Blood at all Masses. Pope
Saint John Paul II states in his encyclical letter ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA, "The Church draws her life
from the Eucharist." and "The Second Vatican Council
rightly proclaimed that the Eucharistic sacrifice is 'the
source and summit of the Christian life...the most holy
Eucharist contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth:
Christ himself, our passover and living bread. Through
his own flesh, now made living and life-giving by the Holy
Spirit, he offers life to men." and "from this 'living bread'
she [the Church] draws her nourishment." If you are a
parishioner in full communion with the church, please
prayerfully consider this ministry. Call the parish office
for an interview with one of the clergy.
La Sociedad de Guadalupe los invita a participar a

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With Thanksgiving approaching, we think of the
quest of the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower from
their first exile in Leyden, Holland. Like the Catholics of
England, they were religious dissenters who suffered penalties for not participating in the worship life of the established church. The Catholics established monasteries,
schools, and convents on the continent to assure the vigor
of their faith’s intellectual and spiritual life. The Puritans
fled to the tolerant Netherlands with similar hopes of preserving their way of life, but were unable to adapt to
Dutch ways.
There were Catholics who made a similar colonial
journey. The hero of the story is George Calvert, Lord
Baltimore, the former Secretary of State of Britain and a
Catholic. He proposed that King Charles I establish a proprietary colony that he would own and rule, named Maryland in honor of the Catholic Queen Henrietta Maria.
George Calvert died unexpectedly in the midst of this
project, but his son Cecil faithfully carried out his father’s
wishes. Maryland became a symbol of freedom for
wealthy recusant English families, as well as for the poor
who held to the Catholic faith despite great hardship.
From the start, the colony was open to Protestants and
Catholics equally, and the seeds of the religious freedom
so dear to the American spirit were sown with the first
colonists in 1634.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección de fray
Junípero Serra alzaron una cruz en Alta California, dedicando la primera misión en la zona a san Diego de Alcalá. Diego, cuya fiesta es el 13 de noviembre, fue un franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo español nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo servir a Dios como hermano lego (laico)
ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los enfermos.
Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los demás. Aun
cuando lo hicieron guardián (líder franciscano) nunca
dejo de servir a los pobres, los enfermos y a sus hermanos
franciscanos. Su afán por dar a los pobres las cosas del
convento lo llevaba a esconder sus donaciones en su manto. Una vez un hermano le preguntó que escondía y el
mintiendo respondió: “rosas”. El hermano insistió verlas
y en lugar de la comida que llevaba a los pobres, aparecieron rosas y más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San
Diego, California se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1) solidaridad con los más necesitados, 2) devoción a Cristo crucificado y 3) evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia.
