The Liturgy of the Day
a la Liturgia del Día
We are drawing near to the end of
the liturgical year, as a quick
glance at today’s readings about
the end-times will tell us. This
time of the year, this month of
November with its focus on our
faithful departed, together with
these readings, cause us to reflect
on our own mortality. As we
gather to worship today, let us
pray for God’s mercy and love at
the end of our own lives and at the
end of all time.
Nos estamos acercando al final del
año litúrgico y una ojeada rápida a
las lecturas de hoy acerca del final
de los tiempos así nos lo
confirmará. Este tiempo del año,
sobre todo este mes de noviembre
con su enfoque en nuestros fieles
difuntos, junto con estas lecturas
nos hace reflexionar sobre nuestra
propia mortalidad. Al reunirnos
hoy para dar culto a Dios
pidámosle su misericordia y amor
en nuestra vida ahora y al final de
los tiempos.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• En estos tiempos en
que el bien contra el
mal parece ser una
lucha tanto personal
como cósmica, la
visión de Daniel y la
aparición del arcángel
Miguel
hacen
premoniciones
escalofriantes acerca de un porvenir “como no lo hubo
desde el principio del mundo” (Daniel 12:1). ¡Pero no
nos perdamos la promesa de la victoria! “Se salvará tu
pueblo”, es lo que promete Dios (12:1). Aunque el
destino de algunos será “el eterno castigo”, aquellos
que viven según la sabiduría celestial y “enseñan a
muchos la justicia” podrán contar con un futuro
radiante (12:2, 3). La carta a los hebreos ofrece
también una bendita garantía: el perdón es nuestro
gracias al sacrificio único y perfecto de Jesús.
• Haciéndose eco de Daniel, Jesús habla
ominosamente de cataclismos cósmicos que
ciertamente ocurrirán, pero desconcertantemente
“nadie conoce el día ni la hora” (Marcos 13:32). Por
consiguiente, éste es el mensaje de Jesús acerca del
final: La mejor manera de prepararse es estar
preparados y vivir en una expectativa perpetua del
regreso inminente de Jesús al final de la historia y a la
hora de nuestra muerte, tal vez más cercana de lo que
pensamos. Pero para Marcos estar preparado no quiere
decir esperar pasivamente, sino trabajar activamente
para la gran cosecha de “los elegidos”, la cual Jesús
afirma con toda confianza que será vasta “desde los
cuatro puntos cardinales y desde lo más profundo de
la tierra a lo más alto del cielo” (13:27).
• Conjuntamente, las Escrituras de hoy nos hacen un
llamado a los discípulos de esta generación para que
hagamos lo mismo que han hecho los discípulos de
generaciones pasadas. Ya que sabemos que “el verano
[la madurez de la creación] está cerca”, la constante
cosecha de Jesús es nuestra responsabilidad progresiva
(Marcos 13:28). Cada día debe ser vivido como si
fuera nuestro primero, nuestro último y nuestro único
día. ¡Porque un día así será!
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Qué cosas específicas puedo hacer en mi vida
cotidiana a fin de preparar mi rincón del mundo para
la segunda venida gloriosa de Jesús?

NO Religious Education or Confirmation Classes November 22 & 29th. Class to resume on Sunday, December 6th.
THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME WHAT’S HAPPENING NOVEMBER 15, 2015
Corpus Christi Children’s Choir Practices held on Monday’s from 5 to 5:30 PM and 5:45 to 6:30 PM in the Old Church.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I want to clearly state the diocesan liquor
policy so all of us will be clear on this, and there
will be no confusion. This policy was revised in
July of 2014 and is in effect until further notice.
1-Any parish function meeting on church
grounds that charges money to attend (for
example, where tickets are sold), in which
alcohol is available, provided or sold must
obtain a temporary beer and wine permit.
2-Events promoting or permitting attendees to
"Bring their own bottle" of alcohol or beer
are NOT permitted. This includes meetings of
the Knights of Columbus, Women's Group, etc..
3-If an event is held off parish property at a
location with a liquor license (different than a
temporary permit), such as The Country Club
of Lexington, then the location's license suffices.
4- Temporary beer and wine permits are
obtained by submitting an application to the
Department of Revenue Form ABL-900 from
www.SCTAX.ORG
I urge all of our parishioners to please abide by
this policy. Anyone who does not abide by our
policy is breaking the law and will suffer the
consequences.
In Christ Our Lord,
Father Ray Carlo
