To put it simply, it means that the one who works harder will receive more from the fruit of his labors, while the one who doesn’t work will eventually lose what he had at the beginning. This Sunday’s gospel invites us to be bold, to be daring in serving God, to negotiate without fear the talents the Lord has placed in our hands. There is an old Spanish saying: “the one who risks nothing, neither loses nor wins”. But according to what we just read, not taking a risk and burying, because of fear, the talents of the Lord always represents a loss because it deprives us of our friendship with God, the greatest loss we can suffer in this world. All fields of human society are begging for men, women, young people and children to be a sign of salvation and of hope. Every profession can present the opportunity to give witness. The parable of the talents encourages us to discover within ourselves this hidden strength of God and to place it at his service and at the service of our brothers and sisters. In so doing, we will have found the way to happiness both in this life and in eternity. My thanks to all who have taken part in the food drive for the Grove Outreach. If you did not bring your bag today, please remember that you can still drop it off at the office. “Could you not watch one hour with me?” (Mk 14:37) JOIN US FOR EUCHARISTIC ADORATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON THURSDAYS IN THE CHURCH From 8:30 am to 7:00 pm Congratulations to the St. Hugh-Steinway Concert Series for a wonderful concert, which I was able to watch on livestream. Have a blessed week. Domingo 30o. del Tiempo Ordinario (Ciclo A) Rincón del Párroco Siempre nos ha resultado difícil entender que a quien no tiene le será quitado aun lo poco que tiene y al que mucho tiene le será dado más. Esto significa, sencillamente, que quien trabaja recibe más con el fruto de su labor, mientras que el que no trabaja llega a perder lo que poseía al comienzo. El evangelio de este domingo nos invita a la audacia, al atrevimiento en el servicio de Dios, a negociar sin miedo con el talento que el Señor ha puesto en nuestras manos. Un viejo refrán dice que “el que no se arriesga, ni pierde ni gana”. Pero según el texto que leímos, no arriesgarse y enterrar por miedo el talento del Señor, siempre produce pérdida: nos priva de la amistad de Dios y esta es la mayor pérdida que puede sufrirse en el mundo. “¿No podían velar una hora conmigo?” (Mc. 14, 37) ADORACIÓN EUCARÍSTICA LOS JUEVES DURANTE TODO EL DÍA EN LA IGLESIA De 8:30 am a 7:00 pm Todas las actividades de la sociedad reclaman hombres, mujeres, jóvenes y niños que sean signo de salvación y de esperanza. Todas las profesiones pueden ser ocasión de dar un testimonio. La parábola de los talentos nos anima a descubrir en nosotros la fuerza oculta de Dios y a ponerla a su servicio y al servicio de nuestros hermanos. Haciéndolo, habremos encontrado el camino de la felicidad temporal y eterna. Gracias a todos los que tomaron parte en la colecta de alimentos para el Grove Outreach. Si no pudieron traer su bolsa hoy, recuerden que pueden entregarla en la oficina. Felicitaciones a la Serie de Conciertos St. Hugh-Steinway por un concierto maravilloso que pude ver por livestream. Que tengan todos una bella semana. Fr.

He was educated and made his profession at the priory of Augustinian canons at Villarbenoît. Hugh joined (c.1160) the Carthusians at age 25, rising to become procurator general. About 1176 he was, at the request of King Henry II, sent to England to become Abbot of the first Carthusian monastery in England. This had been built by King Henry II as part of his penance for the murder of Thomas Becket. His reputation for holiness and sanctity spread all over England and attracted many to the monastery. He admonished Henry for keeping Sees vacant to enrich the royal coffers. Income from the vacant Sees went to the royal treasury. He was then named bishop of the eighteen year old vacant See of Lincoln in 1186 - a post he accepted only when ordered to do so by the prior of the Grande Chartreuse. Hugh quickly restored clerical discipline, labored to restore religion to the diocese, and became known for his wisdom and justice. He was one of the leaders in denouncing the persecution of the Jews that swept England, 1190-91, repeatedly facing down armed mobs and making them release their victims. He went on a diplomatic mission to France for King John in 1199, visiting the Grande Chartreuse, Cluny, and Citeaux, and returned from the trip in poor health. A few months later, while attending a national council in London, he was stricken and died two months later at the Old Temple in London on November 16, 1200. He was canonized twenty years later, in 1220, the first Carthusian to be so honored. SAN HugO DE Lincoln San Hugo de Lincoln nació en Avalon, Borgoña, en 1140. Hijo de una familia noble, fue educado en el monasterio agustino de Villarbenoît, donde profesó. A los 25 años se hizo monje cartujo, llegando a ocupar el cargo de procurador general de la orden. Alrededor de 1176, a petición del rey Enrique II de Inglaterra, fue enviado a ese país para ser abad del primer monasterio cartujo en Inglaterra, que el rey fundó como penitencia por su participación en el asesinato de Tomás Beckett. La fama de su santidad se extendió por toda Inglaterra y atrajo a muchos al monasterio. Amonestó al rey Enrique por mantener vacantes las sedes para enriquecer las arcas reales, adonde iban a parar los ingresos de esas diócesis. Fue nombrado obispo de Lincoln, cuya sede había estado vacante por 18 años, en 1186, cargo que solo aceptó por obediencia al prior de la Gran Cartuja. Hugo luchó por restaurar la disciplina entre el clero y fomentar la devoción en la diócesis. Fue reconocido por su sabiduría y justicia. Denunció la persecución contra los judíos que barrió Inglaterra entre 1190 y 1191, enfrentándose a turbas armadas y obligándolas a liberar a sus víctimas. Enviado en misión a Francia por el rey Juan en 1199, visitó la Gran Cartuja, Cluny y Císter, de cuyo viaje regresó en mala salud. Pocos meses más tarde, mientras asistía a un concilio nacional en Londres, cayó enfermo y falleció dos meses más tarde en el Old Temple en Londres, el 16 de noviembre de 1200. Fue canonizado veinte años después, en 1220, el primer cartujo en llegar a los altares. 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 7 The POPE SPEAKS/HABLA EL PAPA Our Common Union in the Church General Audience, October 22, 2014 The Church is a masterpiece of the Spirit that instills in all the new life of the risen Christ, placing us side by side to serve and support one another, thus making of us one body, built in communion and love… It is good to remind ourselves more often of what we are and of what the Lord Jesus has made of us. We are His body, a body that nothing and nobody can snatch away from him and that He fills with all His passion and love just as a husband loves his wife... We should not be jealous but, in our communities, we should appreciate the gifts and qualities of our brothers and sisters. Nuestra unión común en la Iglesia Audiencia General, 22 de octubre de 2014 La Iglesia es la obra maestra del Espíritu, que infunde en cada uno la vida nueva de Cristo Resucitado y nos coloca al lado del otro, para servirlo y apoyarlo, convirtiéndonos en un solo cuerpo, construido en la comunión y el amor…Somos su cuerpo, ese cuerpo que nada ni nadie le puede arrebatar y que él recubre con toda su pasión y su amor, como un esposo lo hace con su esposa…No (debemos) ser celosos, sino apreciar en nuestras comunidades los dones y las cualidades de nuestros hermanos…no considerar a nadie más importante que a otro, sino en la caridad considerarse como miembros los unos de los otros, que viven y se dan a sí mismos en beneficio de todos.
