Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Many thanks to the Parish Council for
hosting our parish Feast Day dinner last
Sunday. And thanks to those who
donated raffle prizes. We are blessed to
have such a vibrant parish community!
True Humility and Talents
Some people think that humility is a
matter of taking yourself to be small,
unworthy, not up for much. But, in
the Gospel parable, the servant who
thinks he is too little to do much with his talent is
dismissed as wicked and useless, and his talent is
taken away from him. The Lord doesn’t praise him
for his humility.
So what is humility? It is the opposite of pride—but
what is pride? Pride isn’t thinking that there is some
excellence, some talent, in yourself, when there really
is. Rather, pride is a failure to recognize that talent as
given by the Lord.
And so, of course, we are small and unworthy. What
else would we be? Our talents are not a function of
what we are and can do. Every excellence in us is a
gift of the Lord’s. We can acknowledge the
excellence that is truly in us without danger of pride
provided we remember that that excellence comes
from the Lord.

In 2013, Pope Francis
declared that a Year of
Consecrated Life (YCL) be
celebrated throughout the
world. YCL will begin on the
First Sunday of Advent,
November 30, 2014. It will
close on the World Day of
Consecrated Life, February
2, 2016. We’ll bring you news of this special year as it unfolds.

Not only that, but in the Gospel our Lord announces a
funny distribution principle: to him who has, more
will be given. So here is the idea. A person who does
not refuse a gift of the Lord’s receives it and consequently has more. Then, because he has more, the
Lord will offer him another gift. If he does not refuse
that new gift, it will be given – and so he will have
more. And then more will be given to him. And so on
and on, till a person blazes in glory for the Lord.
Unlike the useless servant in the parable, then, we can
aim as high as we like, with true humility, provided
we recognize as gift every excellence we have.
Everything is gift, and everything is meant to be
given back in service of love for the Lord.

“You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will
put you in charge of large amounts.” —Matthew 25:21
Booker T. Washington was a black American slave. At
the age of sixteen, he walked almost 500 miles from
his slave home to Hampton Institute in Virginia. When
he got there, he was told that classes were filled. Undaunted, he took a job at the school doing menial jobs:
sweeping floors and making beds. He did these so
well that the faculty found room for him as a student.
He worked his way up at the school, became a famed teacher, and
eventually founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. What were some
of the small jobs you did well before you were given larger jobs?
Do not let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.
—Basketball coach John Wooden

Kid’s Corner
A wise man once said
that the world is like
a mirror. Frown at it
and it will frown back
at you. Smile at it
and it will smile back,
and you will have a
happy life. When you
look at the world today, will it be
with a frown or a smile?
Memorial of the Presentation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Friday, November 21st
According to tradition, Mary spent her life at the
Temple from the time she was a little girl. Her
parents, Joachim and Anne, presented their
young daughter to the Temple for service and
study, in thanksgiving for the great gift God had
given them through her. Today’s memorial
celebrates this occasion. It also calls us to think
about ways we prepare and ready ourselves for Jesus Christ in our lives.
Mary, conceived in grace, was prepared to carry the Son of God, but her time
at the Temple helped form her mind and heart. Likewise, intentionally
nurturing our relationship with God builds on the grace God offers each of us.
What are some of the ways you can ready yourself to encounter Jesus Christ
today?

A great reason to be glad you’re Catholic…
Worldview: The breathtaking beauty of a mountain. The touch of a loved one’s
gentle hand in a time of need. The delight of a delicious meal shared with
family and friends. One of the greatest gifts Catholicism has to offer us is a
sacramental worldview that sees everything and everyone around us as
containing a potential for holiness.
