The L
keeps faith forever,
secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
— Psalm 146:7
GIVING ALL
Trusting widows play a significant role in this weekend’s readings. At the point of poverty, when giving
even the smallest amount of what they had could imperil their health and well-being, they trusted God and
gave anyway. What is important about their giving is not what or how much they gave, but how they gave it.
Without selfishness, they gave to help others. Their giving was from the heart, with little hope or intention of
receiving any sort of reward or recognition for their generosity. The monetary values of the widows’ gifts
were small, but their value measured in the Kingdom was priceless.
There is a significant similarity between their gift and the gift Jesus gave each of us. The widows offered
their lives for God. Jesus offered his life for us.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FROM GOD
A few weeks ago I anointed Tony in the
hospital. Before I left he told his wife Mary to send
me part of the first mandarin crop. Sharing the fruit
of our gardens and trees has always been part of
the generosity of God’s people. Our Catholic school
has a special garden. Our students share their
crops with one another and with the local food bank.
The parish house has a beautiful garden with
an apple tree, along with a peach tree and a fig tree. What makes the garden so special are the
redwood trees raising their branches in prayer to our Creator. Our parish grounds are beautiful and
lovingly cared for, a Blessing to all. Thank you.
TREES (by Joyce Kilmer)
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray…
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
I love to cook. My favorite dessert is to share our frozen peaches from our yearly crop,
cooked with lots of Grand Marnier and served over Dreyer’s vanilla ice cream. Every year my
barber friend Tony helps me with planting tomatoes. Hans, Peggy, Mary, Ann, Tina, Julie, Sean
and many others give their fruit, honey and wine. To share and receive is a Blessing. Maybe I can
return some of your generosity when I return to Ireland.
INNISFREE (by William Butler Yates)
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree.
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made.
Nine bean rows will I have there, and a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the Bee-Loud Glade.
God Bless,
Fr. Mike

Giggles:
Two rich golf club members met. One said to the other, “I haven’t seen you in six
Months?” “I know”, answered his friend. “We went around the world, but next
year we’re going somewhere else.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn’t it strange that men will walk thirty six holes of golf, but at home they won’t even
get a glass of water?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My neighbor asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could,
so long as he didn’t take it out of my garden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What runs around a garden but never moves?. . . . A fence.

Trigésimo Segundo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
8 de noviembre de 2015
El Señor siempre es fiel a su palabra,
y es quien hace justicia al oprimido;
él proporciona pan a los hambrientos.
— Salmo 146 (145):7
ENTREGA TOTAL
Las viudas confiadas juegan un importante papel en las lecturas de esta
semana. Aunque eran pobres y el dar aún algo bien pequeño podría poner en
peligro su salud y bienestar, confiaban en Dios y daban lo que podían. Lo que es importante sobre sus
donativos no es la cantidad que daban, sino que daban algo. Sin egoísmo, daban para ayudar a otros. Su
dar salía del corazón, con poca esperanza o intención de recibir algún premio o reconocimiento por su
generosidad. El valor monetario de los dones de las viudas eran pequeños, pero su valor en la medida
del Reino era inestimable.
Hay una gran semejanza entre su regalo y el regalo que Jesús ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. Las
viudas ofrecieron sus vidas a Dios. Jesús ofreció su vida por nosotros.

centavos es mucho más grande que todas las otras

tenía para vivir (Marcos 12:38-44 [41-44]).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Entre las comunidades hispanas aún existe el concepto de que a la Iglesia se le da limosna. Esta es una
horrible costumbre, puesto que ni a Dios ni a la Iglesia se le debe la limosna, sino el diezmo y no
necesariamente económico, esto es, también debemos considerar tiempo y talento. Este diezmo se le da a
Dios por medio del mantenimiento de la Iglesia, la ayuda directa a los necesitados, la generosidad con
agencias de caridad, etcétera. No importa a quién o cómo damos el diezmo que debemos a Dios, lo que
importa es reconocer que no es limosna, es decir, dar de lo que nos sobra. Es dar desde el corazón,
compartir, como la viuda del Evangelio, lo que tenemos para vivir.
No obstante, muchos somos tacaños con el Señor. En lugar de dar con generosidad, damos poco o
damos para hacernos notar. Damos de lo que nos sobra, si acaso damos. Tenemos mucho que aprender de
la viuda que se nos presenta en Marcos 12:41-44. Ella, siendo pobre y necesitada, aún así quiso compartir
con Dios de lo que tenía para vivir. Casi siempre los pobres son más generosos que los ricos o la clase
media. Son ellos quienes nos muestran la generosidad de Dios y nos desafían a hacer lo mismo, a fin de
erradicar la pobreza.
