Lighthouse Catholic Media
The Lighthouse CD of the week is: The Gift of Sexuality by Father Thomas Loya. Father Loya presents a
Catholic vision of human sexuality as he offers on
overview of the Theology of the Body, Pope John Paul
II’s revolutionary series for general audiences. This
profound yet practical talk reveals the true meaning of
our bodies in relationship to God and to one another
so that we can have a better understanding of sexuality and pure love. This is a message that is badly
needed in our society today.

Scripture readings from our Sunday Mass during the
week. Each week, a “Question of the Week” is in the
bulletin and online. Persons are encouraged to take
time during the week to answer the questions and
share the answers within one’s family and at any parish meetings which occur during the week.
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Week of October 21
Making God a priority in your life
Breaking Open the Word
Suggested text for faith sharing:
Today’s Gospel
Step One: Listen to the Word. When you hear Jesus’ teaching today, what words or phrases strike
you? What image from Mark’s Gospel lingers in your
memory?
Step Two: Look into Your Life
Question for Children: Name some ways that you can
serve others.
Question for Youth: Jesus changed the way we think
of leadership to be someone who serves others. How
are you a servant leader in school, your family, the
parish and/or your community?
Question for Adults: What are some times in your
own life when you have the chance to be last instead
of first?

Spiritual Book Club Meets Nov. 6
The Spiritual Book Club will meet Tuesday, Nov. 6
at 7 p.m. in the Mother Teresa Room to discuss JesusShock by Peter Kreeft, which investigates the reception Jesus received in His lifetime
and continuously to the present
time, not only from His enemies,
but from His friends, a reception
of shock, astonishment, even disgust. “His claim to be God is the
sword that divides all of time and
history into two halves, B.C. and
A.D., and divides the population of
the world into two halves, like a
junction on a train track. And both
tracks go to eternity.”
As Pope Benedict XVI writes in his apostolic letter
Porta Fidei: “During this time we will need to keep
our gaze fixed upon Jesus Christ, the ‘pioneer and
perfecter of our faith’ (Heb 12:2).”
December reading: The Fulfillment of All Desire, by

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION (RCIA)
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
Our lives sometimes go through seasons of change;
of closeness to God and distance from him. Yet God
the Father’s love is steadfast and ever-present to
those who seek with a
sincere heart, no matter
what sins or situations
have caused separation. If you have thought about becoming Catholic and beginning a new “season” in your
life, contact Kelli Pereira. RCIA Director, in the
Church Office at 359-2700 or email: [email protected]
Communion to the Homebound
If you or someone you know is ill, in the hospital,
homebound or not able to get to Mass because of circumstances beyond their control, call the church office at 359-2700 so a Homebound Communion Minister may bring them Communion.

hoy, versión abreviada
29no domingo del tiempo ordinario - Semana
del 21 de octubre de 2012
Primer Paso: Escuchar la Palabra
Cuando escuchas hoy las enseñanzas de Jesús, ¿qué
palabras o frases te llaman la atención? ¿Qué imagen
del Evangelio según San Marcos perdura en tu memoria?

Paso dos: Ver Tu Vida
Pregunta para los niños: Menciona algunas maneras en
que puedes servir a otros.

pensar en el liderazgo como la manera en que alguien
sirve a otros. ¿Eres un líder en la escuela, en tu familia,

propia vida tiene la oportunidad de ser último en lugar
de ser primero?

FIESTA DE LA SANTÍSIMA
VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
El lunes 12 de Diciembre, 2011, celebraremos otro aniversario mas de las apariciones de La Santísima Virgencita de
Guadalupe en el Monte de Tepeyac, Mexico.
En preparación para éste día especial, nos reuniremos para
honrarla con La Devoción De Los 46 Rosarios. El origen
de esta devoción es muy antiguo. Data del siglo XIX.
¿Porqué 46 rosarios? Es un número simbólico que representa el número de las estrellas impresas en el manto de la
imagen de la Virgencita. Como todo encuentro de fe, es
una práctica agradable a Dios y por su medio consta que se
han alcanzado muchas bendiciones. Los esperamos.
Nos reuniremos todas las noches a las 7:00 PM en
la capilla del Santísimo. Empezando el sabado, 27
de octubre y concluyendo el martes, 11 de diciembre.
29º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La primera lectura de este domingo es muy cortita y nos
mueve hacia el último de los cuatro canticos del siervo sufriente de Isaías. Fijémonos que al principio se nos describe
a una víctima inocente cuya aflicción narra la muerte segura
a la que va. Sin embargo, Dios presenta la víctima como a
su siervo a quien él exaltará. Dios se complace en la fidelidad de su siervo durante el transcurso de su sufrimiento.
Para la Iglesia de las primeras comunidades cristianas el
interpretar estos canticos les fue de gran ayuda para entender la muerte y la resurrección del Señor Jesús. Y a
nosotros, ¿en que nos ayudan? ¿De qué forma somos fieles
al Señor en nuestro sufrimiento?
En los últimos dos domingos Jesús predice su pasión tres
veces, pero sus discípulos no lo comprenden. Ahora les
reclama que no entiendan la importancia de su misión. Inclusive su reclamo es que ellos no saben lo que piden,
mucho menos el comprometerse con ello. Así somos
muchos de nosotros: decimos que sí lo seguiremos cuando
todo anda bien. Pero es al llegar los problemas que nos
moldeamos como el oro en el crisol: eso es lo que Jesús
les dijo a Santiago y a Juan cuando les explicaba que sí beberían la copa del bautismo como Jesús, pero no en ese
momento. Él les brinda el ejemplo de no caer en las trampas del mundo y de querer ser primero en todo, sino de
ser servidores de todos antes que nada. Nuestro reto es
saber que Dios nos ofrece su misericordia y su gracia
donde quiera que la necesitemos.
